I'm testing it now. Honestly you couldnt tell this isn't just like before. The main thing sync has over the other clients is speed. Scrolling the feed doesn't result in it jumping everwhere as images load in. They are already loaded and sized properly. And a million other little things and polish that make it amazing. (Posted from sync!)

I block all advertising myself, but sponsors I think are ok. The creator can control who they sponsor with, they can write a funny ad skit that is entertaining (the best ones I have seen are the ones by squishy boi) and the creator gets paid directly without fucking us with an algorithm.

I'm happy to watch those kinds of ads as I know the creator is getting paid from them, and e.g. YouTube isn't taking a cut.

Auto scaling NPCs to your level is such a shitty and lazy solution to difficulty scaling. I'm so sick of it.

Why can't they do an escalation system like the cops instead for each gang? The longer you aggravate them on their turf the heavier the guys are they send out. Much more realistic, and if you are getting your ass kicked you just scoot over to some other gangs turf.

We need more than this.

We need a way to make sure that the internet can't be owned, physically.

We need some kind of easy to use and fast and robust open source alternate internet that we can all use.

Something that somehow costs nothing to run, that has enough storage and bandwidth for everyone and everything.

Something that has interoperability built in. Every platform should confirm to openid or openauth or activitypub or something like that.

And you know what? we have the technology!

We all have spare devices lying around. Old PC's, old laptops, old phones - they could all be running some kind of node in a distributed platform of some kind of open source AWS equivalent, and let anyone host anything and post anything without getting ad-raped or data stolen.

It's a pipe dream of mine, and I'm sure others... but with a will and a movement we could just take it all back, all at once.

Most antivirus software are just root level tools to harvest your data, that pretend to help

The software architect of lemmy is unfortunately doomed. The very concept of how it works means exponential storage and bandwidth needs as it grows in sublemmits and instances. A better design would have been instances being the sublemmits themselves, and leaving it up to the clients to subscribe and aggregate them into a feed. This way scaling is a lot more horizontal, and communities that get too big can scale up individually or purge old data without affecting the rest of the system.

Do you know how much I would fucking love larian to do a shadowrun game next? By the gods that would blow my fucking mind

The stuff you can do in UE5 just makes it a no brainer for everyone. Especially if you want an object and detail dense environment where lighting is super important. UE5 and cyberpunk is a match made in heaven.

I do home Godot can get similar features to UE5 one date. I'm rooting for those guys.

Crimea bridge

Fedora definitely doesn't "just works". Try installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers then updating your kernel.

None of that was true 4 years ago. Or 10 years ago. Or 15 years ago. You are a potato.

I'm telling you know mate, once you try sync connect will go straight in the trash. It's beyond incomparable.

...He's seen it all.

Wow. Not only incorrect, but incorrect in the worst way by fucking up maths by a factor of a thousand!

Same. Literally me.

It should be. She's a fucking genius and those games are amazing, gameplay wise and narratively.

I wish someone would give her a bunch of money to do a remake of the whole series.

Also, storybook is shit. Use... that drop in replacement that's name escapes me but is 1000x better

I loved these books! Where is Fahrd???

Jesus fucking Christ no. That's not how any of this works. Please delete your comment in case some stupid ai bot eats it and tries to pass it off as reality.

I feel like this is one of those multiverse branch moments where Skynet is created.
