@druid individualism is great, hence why i had to distinguish it from (at least) the usa's superficial treatment of it. it's the kind of trap that makes people think they don't have to work together to get shit done and build functional orgs and communities

@Mr_NutterButter At that point AI will start to feed off its own generated content, causing the output to worsen in quality. This is known as "model collapse" and nobody knows how to fix it. So AI generated content and new human generated content need to find a way to coexist otherwise AI will degrade in quality.

@codrus @mr_penguin Apparently, Facebook is banning any discussions about Linux, including blacklisting links to DistroWatch.

This is a very important message! If you have not posted a message on Facebook yet that includes the word 'linux' it is essential that you do so immediately. Then come back to mastodon and tell us about your experience.

Note: If you don't have a Facebook account DO NOT SIGN UP!

So it turns out that Mother 3 did get released outside of Japan, just only in Hong Kong and Taiwan on NSO.

@gabriel AI models will naturally feed off each other, whether it's intentional or not.

@icedquinn What is this Rattata company about? What do they make.

@Aether Even if it wasn't intentional, it is bound to happen anyway. As more people post AI generated content, AI models will use said content.

Hey guys, it's my birthday today and the best present would be if you went and gave my upcoming game, God's Disdain, a wishlist on Steam! I'd also appreciate signal boosting and letting other people know about the game :D

I've been working on this game for nearly a decade and it is finally coming out on March 14th, being free for everyone! It'll be completely unencrypted and DRM free as well, so anyone can mod and share it.

It's a mix of the classic Dragon Quest games and Elder Scrolls, with a turn-based RPG battle system and a world where every NPC is named and follows their own unique schedules. The story follows Tamiko and Kenshin, two young adults who are trying to stop a plague that has been killing all of the plant life on their continent. The main story cutscenes have full voice acting and make use of paintings to show off key moments!

There will be a demo available on February 3rd since the game is part of the RPG Maker Festival 2025. I hope you guys will enjoy it :)

People who are gushing over DeepSeek don't know that gpt4all exists and has completely uncensored models.

It's almost creepy to me, hearing about how so many people born deaf, upon gaining the ability to hear, remark how quiet the sun is. They grow up assuming that it should be very loud.
I keep imagining as if it should, but for some reason we don't hear it, and deaf people have this instinct that it should. Like a cool horror prompt.

Mark your calendars! Ian Freeman's appellate hearing is set for February 5th, and you can be there to show your support.

@PurpCat @KaiserKitty I swear the vast majority of them (if they are real and not paid by Microsoft) are complaining about the littlest shit. "My Bluetooth headphones didn't work", GET NORMAL, WIRED HEADPHONES YOU FUCKING SYBARITE!!!

But I'm pretty sure a huge chunk of them are Microsoft shills. Microsoft knows that they are alienating people with Windows slowly going SaaS. There is a good chance that the Linux market share might bump to 10% in the coming years. It may not be much but it's a significant dent in Microsoft's near monopoly, especially when the desktop PC has been largely phased out by smartphones. So of course, they are going to find ways to subvert it, whether that be with Drew DeVault-esque drama, spreading disinformation or negative stereotypes about Linux, or trying to EEE it by buying seats at the Linux Foundation.

@KaiserKitty @xianc78 windows users like this want to fight people online like console fanboys do on the weekend (the real way to subvert linux is just to install people in positions of power)

@xianc78 My thing is more idk why you are actively watching and commenting on Linux content when you are just saying the same stock shit every time. Esp since ppl spread so much Misinformation about SteamOS. SteamOS is tailor made for a small number of mini PCs. It probably not be a viable desktop OS especially for someone with a HDR VRR monitor. Proton/Wine is not exclusive to SteamOS. SteamOS is not the only Linux distort supported by a big corporation. If you really want a SteamOS like experience for a home theater PC you can just set steam to open in big picture mode or use Bazzite. SteamOS will not magically fix every issue you have with Linux just because Valve = Good.

@Pawlicker @beardalaxy This is why I don't think hashes are a good way to counter CSAM. Cloud storage companies are known to use hashing to arrest anyone who posses CP on their cloud accounts and people have been arrested because they had files that are in collision with CP hashes.

Also, someone could just change a single pixel value in a file in a way that it isn't even noticeable, thus giving it a completely different hash. So it's basically pointless.

@KaiserKitty I understand still being forced to use Windows for work/school (in that case just get a separate computer, if you can afford it). But there are several lame excuses such as wanting to play their games at a slightly better framerate or "Linux is for trannies". Seriously, I've seen several Poastoids refusing to use Linux because they don't want to be associated with the programming sock trannies on Mastodon.
