This chart is for desktops, I imagine most bots aren’t running on desktops, right? So if it’s counting bots the methodology is wrong.

I know, it was a joke :)

For a 31 year-old console it’s not that alarming.

I think it looks alright, honestly.

Oh, very sad news, big fan of his work, underappreciated maybe. Here’s one of my favourites:

Oh and I was randomly just thinking of this tune the other day:

I’ll stop there because obviously I can’t post everything.

Again, you’re telling me what I already know, because you’re still assuming. I can make the point that same prompts don’t produce the same output without explaining about random seeds.

It seems a more likely that the candidates were cutting and pasting a standard response, either way my point was to question the integrity of the article, which seems itself to be AI slop anyway.

You can give an LLM the same seed and it will spit out the same word-for-word response. That’s how they work. It’s just a bunch of math.

You’re assuming that because I missed out that detail I must be ignorant of it, that’s not very charitable, I could well have been ignorant of it but you could have made your otherwise useful clarification without telling me I was wrong.

The article said they were the “exact same”.

Where was I wrong? I said nothing that contradicts the detail you added.

Nope, there are a lot of AI tells in the article.

Something is wrong here, LLMs won’t spit out the same word-for-word response for the same prompt that’s not how they work.

ReactOS collaborates with projects like Wine; you would arguably not have Proton without it (or at least not as useful). The process of building ReactOS itself is useful to the FOSS ecosystem perhaps more than the finished “product”.

OpenTTD, it’s the main thing I play these days.

Is this any different from doing Ctrl+I for page info and selecting the Media tab (which is what I currently do for this)?

Yep things have certainly changed since then, I remember when it was common advice to new Linux users to generally avoid laptops.

So not “global population decline”?

They’re a political group by definition, even if you don’t believe the rationale it’s their prerogative, if they left former Twitter purely because it didn’t align with their values that wouldn’t be a contradiction in and of itself because their whole reason for existing is taking a political stand.

They don’t have their own instance as far as I know but they’re very active on mastodon.social

I get a lot of value from YouTube that I would happily pay for, and I already pay for online services that respect me but I wouldn’t pay a company that treats users like they do. It’s not the ads I have a problem with, it’s the tracking of users. They could have ads on their website that don’t track users. You can subscribe to premium and presumably they don’t show you ads, but they still track you. If they didn’t do that I would happily pay them.
