Of course. Any issue is only serious for you if it impacts you and/or if you care about it.
- Comment on nothing & no one is safe from this plague 6 days ago:
This sounds funny, but is actually a very serious issue. The main factor separating sermons by priests from sermons by any other people, e.g., homeless drug addicts, is that God is supposedly speaking through priests.
So whenever they give a speech, it’s treated as a speech from God. Clearly, AI has nothing to do with God if one exists, which means anyone attending such a sermon is being blatantly scammed. The Pope shouldn’t ‘ask’ anyone to stop using AI. He should immediately remove all of them from clerical service for defrauding people on the Church’s behalf.

For all the hate we’ve given Creation Engine over the years… I think we can all agree it’s still infinitely better than Unreal will ever be.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 weeks ago:
Of course it’s possible. Just not financially viable, according to corporate logic. It’s not about profit. It’s about ever increasing profit. So what do you do when the sales have reached their peak and stopped increasing? Lower the production costs and/or increase prices.
I’ve worked in the video game industry for a few years, both at and with large corporations as well as smaller studios. Game optimization has rarely, if ever, been a concern for anyone. Usually, as long as the fps only occasionally drop to 25 on high-end systems - it’s good enough.
To be clear, smaller game studios care significantly more about optimization/accessibility. There’s no denying that. However, with their limited resources, sometimes there’s not a whole lot they can do.
What you’re asking for is completely reasonable and would be great. But it’s just not gonna happen. Most studios prefer Unreal, because it lets them outsource a lot of work to India, and potentially cuts the development time ever so slightly.
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people say that the price increases will force developers to optimize and to work with what hardware they have to make good games and stop using AI gen and DLSS tech as an excuse for poor optimization.
The main problem with this is simply that it won’t happen. Every company would have to spend more on their games for no monetary gain, while their competition likely won’t do the same.
Not to mention, big game companies already have insanely powerful hardware, so it doesn’t impede the development in the slightest.

Who would have guessed the moron with no real education, knowledge or experience in any profession, whose companies barely make it despite all the unfair advantages you can think of, is clueless just like he has been every day for the last 54 years of his life.

Personally I was never interested in GTA 6 to begin with, but this cemented my decision not to buy it under any circumstances.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 months ago:
My best guess is mass riots/civil war. The main reasons why it’s not happening yet are because Trump still has a good number of supporters and because Americans are - rightfully - afraid of their police (or soldiers) killing them.
Trump is steadily losing his supporters every week, and the number of people at risk of dying due to lack of food or healthcare is increasing. If your life is at serious risk anyway, might as well get a shot at a revolution. And the more people willing to do it with you, the better the chances.
However, I’m not sure how realistic this scenario is. I’m concerned that a change of government for a slightly better one may be enough for most Americans to calm down. After all, they’re very much used to being abused by their elites, whether they realize it or not.

- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 2 months ago:
There’s practicially nothing about him that ‘screams’ autistic. It’s a wide spectrum, so it may be different for each person, and may show different signs. Still, this dipshit fits almost none of that.
Unless by ‘autistic’ you simply mean ‘retarded’, then no. He does not appear to be autistic.
- Comment on How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account 2 months ago:
Weirdly enough they still let you delete your account even when it’s been banned.
They don’t delete your account automatically, because then they can legally keep using all of your data. Once you delete, they have a legal obligation to delete almost all of that data, as per GDPR. Not sure about outside EU, but honestly it may very well be the same or similar. Sometimes it’s cheaper to implement GDPR worldwide, instead of on a per region basis.

So let me get this straight.
Tim wanted a better storefront, free of all the ‘slop’ that Steam is filled with.
Then he proceeds to use AI in his main game and argue against AI-use disclaimers.
Am I missing something here?

- Comment on Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled 4 months ago:
Not at all surprising for anyone who followed this company for a while. They’ve pretty much been all marketing. The phones are far from what they are advertised to be. Hell, it’d be great if they at least worked properly.
- Comment on Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled 4 months ago:
Personally I think it’ll be one of the bigger Chinese OEMs. Their phones have gotten a lot better recently, and security is pretty much the only thing they’re lacking. A move like this would perfectly fit some of their strategies.
We’ll see what happens. I’m enjoying analyzing the market to speculate which company it may be.

Before reading this, it would have never occurred to me that anyone even considered this possibility. And thank God it’s not happening. Their phones are abysmal dogshit.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 4 months ago:
Very fair argument. This way the statistics would most likely be considerably worse. Though personally, I couldn’t care less about games like League, Fortnite or FIFA. A case could be made thay they’re almost always harmful, so them being unavailable isn’t an issue.

You do realize you’re perfectly free to start your own initiative about whatever you want, then submit it to the European Council, reach out to influencers, etc.? Instead of complaining about other positive initiatives online.

- Comment on Ok, boomer 4 months ago:
I guess it’s to be expected. Boomers were raised in pure bliss, spent half their lives relatively stress-free. Everything was easy and cheap. When you live an easy life, you get used to being dumb, uninformed and lazy. The same would have probably happened to all zoomers in the same situation.
Note that this is mostly specific to North America, Western Europe, Japan and maybe a few other countries. Pretty much everywhere else boomers aren’t all that different from zoomers, save for regular intergenerational differences.

- Comment on My AYN Thor 4 months ago:
Looks great. I might be interested in something like that. In your article you mention it’s running Android, so I immediately started wondering… how will this and similar devices be impacted by the upcoming ‘sideloading’ restrictions? And honestly, any potential future changes to Android’s policies.

Just one more lane bro. And remove the bicycle lanes. That’ll fix everything.
- Comment on Anon uses GOG 4 months ago:
I disagree. It depends how you define ‘malicious’, but in any case I strongly condemn this practice.
CDPR is perfectly happy to pretend they’re consumer-friendly whenever it requires no actual work and brings profits. But the moment they have to spend a cent on changes to actually fulfill their users’ wishes (which they themselves published a wish list for, mind you) - it gets absolutely shit on and the users are told to stop bothering them.
This is nothing but a clear display of what kind of company this is. People keep praising them for doing so much for the users. Meanwhile Valve has been losing money for years, just to help a handful of Linux gamers. No corporation is your friend, but if you really want to go with the ‘least evil’ option - just buy the game on Steam and then pirate it for indefinite storage.
- Comment on Anon uses GOG 4 months ago:
There will likely never be an official GOG Galaxy client for Linux, judging by the company’s utter disregard for Linux users. It was the most requested position on their community wish list, and they just removed it saying they have no plans on adding Linux support.
