if you're really worried about your messages in a public discord server being searchable, maybe consider not posting those things in a public discord server.

this is awesome actually. giant discord servers are where docs and information go to die, and having public servers (which anyone can find, join, and look at anyway!) be indexed by search engines is an objectively good thing in terms of making information more discoverable and accessible.

any CachyOS/Linux user out there know of a good Windows remote desktop solution that works well with pen tablets (i.e. Surface Pro 2)? been trying to use Sunshine + Moonlight and its been more wonky and unreliable than expected

Slack added joke statuses for Halloween I kinda love the idea of a world where TF is so normalised that someone would just be like, sigh, let me get my status up

making these unlocked entries more conscious about what the game is about, the player participating in this lost history of the vanished earth and getting it to move along

I really dislike the phrase "the genie is out of the bottle" because the genie stories I know have them getting sealed inside bottles or other vessels all the time. They aren't born in there!

A vision of the future of games where everything is slop is a grey goo scenario for the medium. Anyways, here's a thread of demos to check out to counter all the negativity. It's important not to just be against AI, you need to be for something just as vocally, you need to be pro art!

Okay, it's #SteamNextFest and there's a lot of demos out there, so here's a quick thread of suggestions to try out, a lot of these I might not have played, they're just what's tickling my fancy. Let's start with Queen's Domain which is releasing on the 30th!

In fairness, I don't think we can say "AI is not a selling point for games, because nobody's saying they proudly use it," they way you might be proud to use Godot. People do say this, and we laugh at them when they do!

The bigger problems are how it disrupts communities, and how often it produces things that are fundamentally "impressive" on the surface while being empty in the core. Much better to get messy. Much better to have rough edges and a full heart.

Anyway. If you're anti-genAI (as you should) you OUGHT to be able to filter through the marketing-speak and understand that "AI" as a term is just a huge marketing umbrella covering tech that is now ancient but rebranded as "AI" because it's the buzzword of the decade.

NPUs have been in phones for almost a decade to do classification on your own pictures on-device to help you search for, like "cats" in your photos and find pictures of cats. Not all machine learning is ChatGPT-trained-on-stolen-material.

NPUs predate the AI Bubble guys. We should want very good NPUs so we can move past cloud, even if we don’t use these things. I remember the first pixel phone to use NPUs for photo processing I was so glad it wasn’t on cloud, but google found it too slow So back to cloud! Cloud meaning datacenter!!

some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) — there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. 💙

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
