Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail rises to a mixed reception in its opening weekend, though I don't think the sky's falling just yet
  • Story is the only problem, classes and content are fine. It just feels like is a secondary irrelevant quest with a lot of filler, using checklist to define certain characters. If I knew beforehand, I would had skipped several if not most of the cutscenes. There is a 30s cutscene of your WoL waking up and walking out the inn. Filler is all over the place.

    First time for the WoL not being the main character. But is not only that, you're useless most of the time. The only thing you do is watching another character learn over and over the exact same lessons we learned as a WoL countless times in other expansions. Shit gets pretty boring.

  • Me: This new law is against fiction. Your example is for something that’s not fiction. Do you understand the difference?

    This is what I mean by your logic. Do you understand the difference between fiction and reality?

    I mean, you said that camera thing like it was some kind of mic drop lol

    Because surveillance never has been an issue /s. Did you just read the last comment and ignore the rest? One is a real problem, the other is fiction. Do you understand the difference?

    Personally I think the Justice system attempting to have a bit of foresight is a good thing

    Sure man, let's make a law about something we know nothing about, what could go wrong.

  • Nice article, but it's more like reading stimulus reaction while reconstructing it in a form that's similar to the original. But it has flaws. Based on the recordings you can make out pretty much any existant song (or memorized recording) but not original thoughts. Everyone can remember the beats of a song, but also everyone makes word associations in different ways, depending on which concepts sticks.

    Very cool for an interface tho. It would be possible to use it as base for composers, if it's possible to interpret original hummings, or beats (what would I know, I'm not a musician), which would require training.

    But there is a catch

    Continuing to probe musical perception is likely to be difficult because the brain areas that process it are hard to access without invasive methods.

    nothing gets out on its own

  • You're wasting taxpayers money in fiction and pseudoscience. Every law needs at least one real example of something being done in bad faith or at least proven possible (even if the perpetrator fails at it).

    The cameras was just a real example of invasion of privacy. By your logic maybe we need to make laws against time traveling ASAP, considering at any moment time travelers will be more relevant than ever.

    You need to start making laws for things that really affects your life right now, instead of fictional maybes.

  • And Im telling you that is practically impossible to read your mind without committing other known already existing crimes. There is a rule already for it, it's called basic human rights.

    When I say sci fi law, it's because it's fiction. This new law is against fiction. Your example is for something that's not fiction. Do you understand the difference? Do you think this politician forwarding this law understands it?

    This is more akin to those old laws of banning all alcohol.

    Want your privacy? Should force/convince your countries to ban cameras first*.

  • Lots of misconceptions here. Brain waves are just the communication between neurons. This is basically internal wiring, everyone is wired differently. Also nothing gets out of your brain on its own, except heat.

    A tool like this can only measure regular patterns between humans and compare them. You will only get are interpretations of your brain status. It can't read your memories nor know if you're thinking about eating a burger. At most it will get a "you're hungry" alert. You can train it to be better at figuring you out (or to do other stuff, like controlling a robot), but you won't get more without a very invasive direct link to your brain (and more training). Which is more like torture at this point.

    This new law is just promoting fear for something they don't even know if it's possible or not. Very sci fi law.

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • 0 ads too, windows 11 last update. Lemmy circlejerk is pretty much this. These threads are either fake news or ragebait, and the comments are just uninformed/untested opinions.

    That without saying that win11 ltsc exists now. At least is something to test.

  • Any reddit downloader that works?

    Title. Like to download old posts, comments and saved images/comments/links.

    Thing is, since reddit took down their 3rd party apps api, most of the ones I find seem to be broken. And most of those 'apps' are from reddit posts created before the enshittification.
