Count the fingers in your head or out loud. They may have the wrong number of fingers, the number may change while you try to count them, the fingers can be deformed and keep on changing when you look at them.

Ah shit, my suspicion was correct - I’m an AI, and a bad one at that. Now I know why the world around me doesn’t feel real.

I wish I didn’t slack off on math. Now that I’m doing gamedev I’ve had to re-learn a lot of it.

Same goes for English, actually. Not my native language

In a 300-meter radius I have two large stores that I visit often, one super large 1 km away, and lots of small ones. Plus there are plenty of fast-food places all around. If I’m cooking something and realize I don’t have an ingredient it takes like 7 minutes on foot to get it and be back in my kitchen. So I have never felt the need to have a car.

That’s cool, that’s cool. I bet with some kind of neural link we’ll be able to bump that up to 200%

Gnome-Software and GDebi can do exactly that for you. Download a deb, right click “open with X”, and they’ll install it for you using GUI. You can even change file associations so debs are opened by gdebi/gnome-software by simple double-clicking.

I used to work night shifts and sometimes had to function afterwards, sometimes for long periods of time. What helped me to stay awake and somewhat clear-minded is light physical activity. Don’t sit too much, move, walk around, do some squats, do push ups if you can. Get some fresh air. Cold water on the face helps. If your eyes tend to get tired get some eye drops (artificial tears). And of course coffee helps too.

Also be careful, it’s easy to lose balance in a sleep deprived state. So no dangerous surroundings if you can help it.

Question. Why is the grass so… perfect? Do they mow it regularly? Is there someone who maintains these ruins, and it’s more like a public park rather than a truly abandoned site?

As a read-only SO user - thank you for your answers!

Cool frog!

Fourth panel as well, with those bots collecting data for AI training that don’t respect your robots.txt, change user agents and overload your servers

You don’t. I don’t. We don’t. My comment could have been written by AI, just as your post. At some point I’m sure some of us, without knowing, had a discussion with an AI bot pushing some sort of propaganda or shilling something. I mean, it was happening even before AI - years before, and some political regimes have been flooding the internet with their shit and it was well documented. Now it’s just getting worse.

Even “vetted account run by a real person” can be later handed over to an AI bot farm.

Also, I have fun imagining a bunch of AI bots stuck in a discussion loop, endlessly shilling crap to each other, creating insanely long threads until the platform can’t handle it anymore or until a Mod AI comes along and slaps them out of it.

World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!

Now that’s a dandeLION. What a monster.

Wow it’s been so long since I’ve heard about them, and I used to follow their development closely some years ago. Well, at least they’re still alive and working on it. I remember them having some tough times during covid.

I’d love to see anything Morrowind‑related from Bethesda. Anything at all. The province of Morrowind, with its weird culture, architecture, and landscapes, is always quite an experience. To me, it’s the most interesting setting in the whole TES series

And they aren’t paying per compute time. Rent-free, always.

Too risky. Who knows what’s hiding in their code. Might be some copylefted library or a piece of code that’s been copy-pasted into the project without fully complying with the copyleft requirements. Making sure this isn’t the case and/or cleaning up an abandoned project can be costly and complicated. Easier for them to just kill it.

I’m one of the new users. Hi. Reddit suspended my account after I posted my indie game. No reply to my appeals for 3+ months. Gonna give Lemmy a try now
