Vapor World: Over The Mind is a Soulslike Metroidvania

Daring today, aren’t we? Is it also a deck builder somehow? No wonder they had to slop the slop, creative juices run out on the fourth word of the title

Modern tripple A games are shitty 9 times out of 10, and remaining good ones are way overpriced. But gaming is on all time rise, the amount of incredible games around, made by passionate and talented people are staggering. Indy is where it’s at!

Snickers would never! Dick Vein is an integral part of the snickers experience

Now picture a different, more computer-curious plumber. He doesn’t hate computers, so he reads two pages on a wiki and now can at least spot when the url has changed or when the diff added some new step that wasn’t there before. You don’t need computer science degree to see that there is a new command that weren’t previously, and google that command.

I tought people computers for some time. As long as there is some motivation, you can teach an 80 years old violin teacher to patch Linux drivers and recompile kernel.

If you want to make shit that is. Utter ugly shit from a butt. If you can edit a shit picture so it’s not shit anymore, you’ll be better starting from scratch. If you start with shit, you still have an unoriginal rot at the core of it, so it’s still smells like shit no matter how much you polish it.
Sure, a bunch of people will continue doing so, but if humanity will preserve concept of beauty, this shit will never stick, and slopfuckers will fuck their slop in the quietness of their homes without pushing it everywhere, and that’s their business.

You might be loosing a grip here a bit

You really don’t need to be a programmer to check for obvious bullshitery, you just need to read like four pages explaining what part means what there.

Caring about future wasn’t that popular among kids anyway, but when everyone kinda accepts that the future should be sacrificed on an altar of a line going up, it’s even harder to care. We’re going to burn last available resources and warm planet until we can’t grow crops anymore, so we can generate bad videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Who the fuck cares about long division or mitochondria when the most popular occupation in 2050 is projected to be “water refugee”.
Sure, it’s a doom scenario, it’s not guaranteed, we can somehow persevere, humanity always does. And even in the doom scenario It’s not impossible that we’ll conserve the civilization in some form.
What we have lost forever is the trust of our kids, that ship has sailed. When Greta Thunberg asked us not to destroy the planet, the collective response was mockery, anger, and pedo threats. There is a generational disdain bigger than it was for boomers.

I grew up with no portable electronics available at all, we also didn’t learn shit. If your topic is shit and your presentation is boring, kids would find how to ignore you. If it’s interesting, they will listen to you no matter how many smartphones they have. It’s hard, that’s for sure, but this infantilising bullshit makes it harder, not easier. You have to treat the kids like people, that’s the only way. Also you need to recognise that they aren’t adults, so you can’t expect them have hours of uninterrupted attention, smartphones or not.

Or better yet, teach your kid responsible usage and live them alone.

Calling Gnome simple and straightforward is quite a funny joke actually

I’m running Arch daily since 2015, was on Debian before. I install and try a lot of stuff. Never had anything bad happened to me once. Worst case scenario the shit I just installed didn’t work so I have to debug it.
Not endorsing this apparently dangerous lifestyle, but also a little bit maybe

but llms are here to stay for good

If we believe salespeople that is, and when did they lie amirite?
No, they wouldn’t disappear completely, nothing that exists does. But I firmly believe that the second the bubble popps, this shit will go the way of nft.
Because this myth of usefulness and empowering is just it, myth. It makes some utter shit that nobody needs, and it wastes everyone’s time making everyone’s lives marginally worse.

I’m referring to the letter of his when he said that he’s not going to ban generated code, not gonna “wage a war” on it or whatever. It might sound like “devs are still accountable for the code they commit” and all is a good position, but like with a lot of the other shit, if you’re not explicitly ban 100% of it, you’re now in a position of arguing with bots about nonsense. You still can be tough and all, but you’re alone and the bots are numerous and nonsense is neverending.
That’s what I mean not-anti-slop, and right now it looks like being all fence-sitting about this wouldn’t actually work. I predict that he’ll either will rethink the policy, or limit the amount of patches merged significantly, or lose his mind and will write a big rant and possibly does something stupid.

Linus was openly not-anti-slop recently, so I don’t have enormous amount of hopes.

This is if they have the same size battery, which might not be the case if one needs more to work.
Also, the state of charge might be inaccurate, it might report zero on a secondary one if the primary is also down just so you put it both back on charger so they equalise.
Also it might all be bullshit and we’re speculating on it randomly.

Oh, they fucking do that? Bloody hell, that’s low. Maybe it depends on a country, but when I bought my previous Lenovo around 2019, they had an option without the OS and it was slightly cheaper, and only available for a small subset of laptops.
The only new laptop I got since was Framework, and obviously, they’re also great in this regard, but I feel like they’re outliers.

Greens are treasures for humanity, and they did a lot of great. But previous achievements shouldn’t make you immune to criticism. And this is exact topic that should cause harsh criticisms. Hank is an educator, and the only good educator is one that has absolute trust of his audience. Right now his reaction to a backlash is exactly ideal one so I have good hope for the future, and I’m afraid it might not be so if the backlash wasn’t as harsh.
The whole reason Hank is so great is that his team does proper research, and they’re not afraid of showing their mistakes and correct them. If they start relying on LLMs, all of that can be thrown out of the window, you couldn’t trust anything anymore, LLM’s whole thing is that it breaks your brain into relying on it, as evident. A pop science video isn’t good at all, if the viewers will have to double check every point.
So this is exactly correct reaction that should be modeled for all such occasions in the future, from both parties actually. And in Green’s case, their previous legacy gives them enough social credits, that I totally trust him to be smart enough to reevaluate his processes and come up with safeguards, and if he actually does it, this will award him more trust.
Don’t conflate accountability with blind hate.
