And you can absolutely trust that tons of executives will definitely not understand this distinction and will use AI even in areas where it's actively harmful.

Agreed. I keep waffling on my feelings about it. It definitely doesn't feel like our laws properly handle the scale that LLMs can take advantage of 'fair use'. It also feels like yet another way to centralize and consolidate wealth, this time not money, but rather art and literary wealth in the hands of a few.

I already see artists that used to get commissions now replaced by endless AI pictures generated via a Lora specifically aping their style. If it was a human copying you, they'd still be limited by the amount they could produce. But an AI can spit out millions of images all in the style you perfected. Which feels wrong.

Google says no, you don't need one.

Also no golden parachute to pay out

Feasible for a non-profit however

Both sides are twisting words. Pirating truly isn't stealing, but rather closer to unauthorized use. The word 'steal' is used because they want to imply that it's the same thing as taking a physical thing that can be lost. It engenders a certain feeling that they're wanting to invoke. Stealing sounds worse than unauthorized use. Doesn't mean it's not wrong to do, but it isn't the sort of wrong that they're implying.

My introduction was the old Call to Power game. Still waiting for a Civ-like game that has a near-future age of gameplay. That was always the coolest part to me.

Feels like most of the similar games today are either historical/current or purely scifi. I like the transition point. To play out possible ways of advancing forward. How do we get from today to entering the stars? Those were fun scenarios to play out.

There's a couple of mods for civ that covers this I know, but they're all abandoned and somewhat buggy these days. Plus this sort of thing works best if the game is balanced around it to begin with.

Things I need a storefront/launcher to provide me:

  • Reviews
  • Wish list
  • Beta/Alternate build installations
  • Friend list, chat, game invite functions
  • Mod browser
  • Refund policy
  • Excellent search and discovery tools

Nice to have:

  • Forum for guides/support
  • Game sharing
  • Ability to move game files

If all you want is to launch a game, why keep the 'launcher' at all? Games used to just... start. No separate program needed.

Not familiar with the implementation, so maybe this is incorrect, but does Wendy's tell you when you're paying more or less? If not, my primary issue would be transparency. I know to show up for happy hour or lunch and I know what the prices will be.

I don't want to have to memorize the prices because they quietly bump up everything on the menu by $0.50 at peak meal times everyday for an hour and don't indicate that anywhere.

Ok, so data used was:

  • My search history
  • Knows I'm friends with her
  • Knows both of us were in same location (either location or same wifi)

Ergo, friends search data in similar locations will be used as part of your advertising profile?

Wonder why I don't get more makeup ads or something. Since the same should be true for stuff she searches for.

[-] greenskye@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

I also believe this isn't true, but did have something happen that we couldn't figure out the other day.

I was looking at this really specialized gaming keyboard on my phone (cyborg gaming keyboard). I showed it to my wife and we talked about it a bit. Later my wife, who's not a gamer and never looks up any of this type of stuff, gets ads for this hyper specific niche gaming keyboard on Facebook. She never looked it up on her phone, she has no signed in accounts on my phone, she is not a target demographic for this device. The only connections possible that I can think of is that Facebook does know we're married (though it's never used that for this sort of ads before) and that we talked about it with her phone in the room.

It was freaky and I still can't explain it.

Anyone have any current working solutions? There was a discord and an extension that used to enable exporting chapters, but it's been broken for a while and the discord ('Secret!' is the name) no longer updates with any new content.

Honestly I don't necessarily care about getting it for free, I just want to put the books into a proper epub instead of using their website or shitty app.

I've acquired several lemmy accounts now and I'd like to reorder the list. My main two accounts are at the bottom while my alternates are stuck at the top
