Looks like I was mistaken, then. Looks like .ml isn't the largest, it's just the one run by the two Lemmy maintainers, which for me (combined with .one keeping going down when I was actively using it) made it my home instance.

That one isn't the largest, no. The largest is .ml and it's run by the two Lemmy maintainers.

Obviously those claims are overblown lol, AIs literally cannot think. They are currently LLMs. They are impressive, sure, but anyone knows the technology knows that this is NOT AGI, and it is entirely possible we will never get AGI. It's also possible we will get AGI, but this ain't it. lol

Not all of us are tankies fwiw, I just wanted to be on the largest and most well-supported instance with generally the least amount of downtime.

That's true!!! Ugly people are talented.

Don't ask me how I know...

That's both disturbing and completely expected. I've generally always preferred monitors over TVs tbh, this is just another reason for it lol

IIRC, some of the games are still playable without Steam, it's just the ones with Steamworks integration can't be played without Steam.

Though if you want full game ownership, obviously go with something like GOG.

But I will not knowingly support this asshole if whatever his company produces isn’t going to benefit anyone other than him and his cronies.

I mean it was already not open-source, right?

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

I’m confused, how can a company that’s gained numerous advantages from being non-profit just switch to a for-profit model

Money

Also I just want to point out that the rifle should be considered no longer safe to use unless thoroughly inspected by an expert. In a similar case some years back, the police officer’s sidearm was pulled into the machine. After retrieval it was found that the weapon had been magnetized by the scanner and as a result the firing pin was able to spontaneously release.

Something tells me he won't know that.

Wow that's like a circus lmao

They were asking why is getting the dosing right important if the person is going to die anyway.

I like Life is Strange 1's sound track tbh. Tony Hawk and Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon and Mario all have some excellent music too.

edit: Wow, I forgot a word, and it completely changed the meaning of my sentence lol

Honestly, I do kind of agree with what you said tbh, you're not wrong lol

You are now resorting to personal attacks (which is against the rules) yet you are blaming Linux users for... using Linux? Suggesting it as a free alternative that people can try out at any time?

I don't get it.

I don't think it will help with that, the war on pornography is only going to get worse.

Did you ever think that you hate Linux because that's what you have decided you are going to do, and not because you should and not because people are making you?

True, this is what I did years ago (although I'd been programming on and off since I was a teenager tbh). I'm not gonna eat the onion but the job market was a lot less competitive 10 years ago. I'm just fortunate because I became a senior developer around the time of COVID and I wasn't just starting out as an inexperienced dev.

That's what I'm wondering.

I haven't heard any reports of or seen any abuse for emulators like Xenia, RPCS3, Dolphin, Citra, etc. I wonder if this is something unique/specific to people finding out it's Stenzek, or if it's more widespread than we realize?

Personally, I do think non-permissive licenses aren't nice, and I do think there should be criticisms, skepticism, and concerns to be voiced about that. At the same time, if it's the owners project, he is free to do with it as he wishes. Then again, if something has a large enough of a community, you could argue that it's no longer just their project. But I understand that if you want to prevent people profiting off of your work (and your contributors work), a no-commercial license does make sense. It's a complex situation.
