I wonder if this has anything to do with Intel’s big snafu with gen 13/14 processors. If the solution was to push a microcode update cuts the voltage to the CPUs, it’s basically a “stealth” nerf. Their spin doctors have been working overtime to frame this as erroneously high voltages that were being “fixed”.

I’d really like to see this graph divided between Intel and AMD.

So when does NetWatch start making the Blackwall?

I mean, couldn’t you just use any of a plethora of other uncensored LLMs from huggingface if you want those sorts of answers?

Same thing with Taylor Swift tickets I guess? I’d imagine it’s because of negative backlash to charging so much. Instead of people being mad at the scalpers, they’d be mad at the retailers.

I’m personally kind of partial to the lottery method for right to buy, since it cuts down on scalpers.

I mean, there’s such a limited volume rn, that they’re just going to get scalped for that price, so it probably doesn’t affect the end buyer’s price much anyways.

Still, not a great precedent.

Remember, there were plenty of rounds of moderator purges on reddit, especially when subs would lock down in protest. Any mod with ethics and a backbone would’ve been shown the door. So I think it’s fair to say a lot of the moderation problems were at least in part caused by the admins.

At least on Lemmy, different instances have different ethoses, so communities can be more in line with the instance they’re on, and there isn’t this need for absolute centralised conformity.

Also, having public mod logs is a big step towards transparency. Sure there are still problems, but it’s definitely no where near as bad IMO.

I gotchu.

That picture is amazing, lol.

Oh, I see what you’re saying. Thanks for the explanation!

The character’s auction house gear sales are classic RMT scammer money trades, where they put horrible gear up for ridiculous prices as a way to move ingame currency around between mules.

I thought poe2 didn’t have a real AH, just currency market. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say.

Rest of the stuff checks out though.

How would that even work? Like, small segments in immersive VR? That seems… very specific.

Yes exactly. They did this in theatres where small sections of the movie would be in 3D. There’d be a blinking icon to tell you when to put your 3D glasses on.

The problem with 3d anaglyphs is that there’s a tradeoff: To get the depth information across, there’s a big loss in colour reproduction. It’s fine as a gimmick, but doing the whole movie that way probably isn’t the best idea.

VR headsets just have a different set of tradeoffs (hot, sweaty and isolating ;) which make them basically equally undesirable for a good viewing experience.

The idea behind having only sections in 3d is that you only accept the tradeoffs when they’re most worthwhile.

It’d actually be kinda cool if there were movies with supplemental VR. That is, mostly 2d but with VR headset sections. I know they had this in the theatres in thr past with red/blue VR glasses, but it’d look so much better with a good VR headset.

The issue is that it’s a bit of a hard sell within an already limited market segment. You’d need to already have a largeish TV, and then also a 3D headset on the same PC.

I’d think most VR enthusiasts would have their VR on either a standalone unit or on a gaming PC, not on their HTPC.

As you’ve said, watching an entire film in VR is kinda ass.

Just embrace being horny on main. :) Unless you’re American. Then instead of you coming, they’ll be coming for you in the next 4+ years.

Yep, agreed. It’s the potential for exploitation that’s the main issue.

Don’t get me wrong, Vanguard is BS, and I quit playing riot games because of it. However, simply having low level access isn’t sufficient to classify it as spyware, otherwise drivers would be spyware. I still haven’t seen any evidence that it currently does anything nefarious with that access, which means it’s quite unlikely it’s being used for mass surveillance.

To me, there are 2 problems: 1) It could be used for targeted attacks, and the likelihood anyone would find out is much lower than in a widespread surveillance scenario. 2) It could be used to deploy a massive bot-net.

I think the US reclassification here is precautionary in nature.

I mean, there’s always been speculation that Vanguard is spyware. There’s absolutely no need or justification for always-on cheat detection.

Searx is a meta search engine, which uses google by default as well. If you’re going to use it, you should probably go into the settings and turn on a bunch of other search services as well.

One of the benefits is that if you use a public instance, it’ll act as an anonymiser for google so they can’t track you as well.

This is something I kinda wish was a more common feature: a robust tagging system. That way you could just opt in/out of the tags you don’t want to see. Reddit kinda sorta had a partial solution, but it always seemed tacked-on.

Of course, there are a lot of difficulties to make a good tagging system, and it requires either centralisation or coordination. The former goes against lemmy’s decentralised philosophy, and the latter requires a lot of extra moderation/admin work.

OK, but what if you were into it and didn’t know?

Seriously, though, NSFW content in all or discover should probably be opt-in only.
