There were plenty of good shows in 2023 though? Even excluding Frieren and shonens (since I’m assuming based on what you said, you aren’t interested in them) there was also Apothecary Diaries which aired during the same season. Oshi No Ko was pretty good also (the first episode is by far the best, imo the rest of the show is still pretty good tho). Those definitely stood out the most to me but I did enjoy a lot of the 2023 shows I watched.
Honestly chapter 3 was way worse to me at first. I hate those red dustbunny things and I swear they made the timing specifically so that I would constantly run into them and I hate it.
I believe in 2a and 5b Celeste supremacy. Aside from having the best soundtracks I also like those levels the most as well
You’re not wrong but it’s not like it’s unprecedented. North Korea already does this with Red Star OS. It’s just Linux with a bunch of spyware and government tracking/surveillance on top (edit: it’s also definitely not open source)
It won’t be open source. Who’s gonna sue Russia for license violation?
Smh, it’s spelt vim by the way
Cable isn’t the same as OTA but from a viewer standpoint they’re both live TV. Live TV in the US is basically unwatchable unless you really like sports or 24/7 news commentary (even then live news is usually also available through phone apps) and don’t mind being interrupted by ads every 2 minutes.
Anything else is better watched with torrents/piracy streaming sites. They don’t stop the show to serve some random combination of medicine, home insurance, and car ads.
Chat is he being serious?
Edit: Chat, look at his comment history, he was being serious
You’re just being pedantic. Most autocorrects/keyboard autocompletes make use of text predictors to function. Look at the 3 suggestions on your phone keyboard whenever you type. That’s also a text predictor (granted it’s a much simpler one).
Text predictors (obviously) predict text, and as such don’t have any actual understanding on the text they are outputting. An AI that doesn’t understand its own outputs isn’t going to achieve anything close to a sci-fi depiction of an AI assistant.
It’s also not like the devs are confused about why LLMs work. If you had every publicly uploaded sentence since the creation of the Internet as a training reference I would hope the resulting model is a pretty good autocomplete, even to the point of being able to answer some questions.
I think that only happens when one of the phones doesn’t support MMS (which afaik is pretty much just ancient flip phones unless your carrier doesn’t support it for some reason). Otherwise group chats work “fine” but with terrible image/photo quality
Your points about enterprise support are fair but I was more talking about people that believe that FOSS is inherently less secure than something closed source controlled by a single large company (i.e. security by obscurity which doesn’t actually work)
Honestly I do agree in some ways support is better for enterprise products but at the same time companies could still use some sort of source-available license to promote transparency/security auditing while having the same control as a closed source product. It’s not FOSS but would definitely be better than having everything closed off
It’s naive to think that someone is at fault for falling prey to the psychological tactics publishers use to push people toward micro transactions.
If you think about it, it’s really not that different from saying people with gambling addictions deserve to be broke. Microtransactions might seem like an obvious scam to a lot of people, but a lot of people fall it and waiving it away and saying they deserve it will only make the problem worse.
And turns out, everything that they give you in the package is actually third party! Meaning, stuff that has access to the lowest depths of your hardware, to stuff that you use to enter your bank details are all made by different people. So many people you have to put your trust into.
And if that’s not enough, the people who compile it and send it to you might be totally different people from those who made the code!! What kind of heresy is this?
You joke but I’ve met people that actually think like this
Couldn’t aimbots be picked up as odd movement and be detectable on a server though? Kind of similar to how those “not a robot” checks can tell if a human is clicking on the box just by looking at the movements of the cursor.
In addition, things like textures and game-modifications could be picked up in part by things like checksum verification to make sure the client is unmodified (assuming the files are modified on the disk and not in memory)
I feel like most client-side changes like see-through walls or player highlighting make themselves pretty obvious when aggregated over multiple games. A good user-reporting system could probably catch most of these.
I definitely agree though, allowing multiple random companies to install ring 0 rootkits should not be the norm. Honestly, even a Windows-level anticheat would be problematic because it would only worsen the monopoly Microsoft has on competitive games as a platform. A new solution would need to be cross-platform or else it would only be marginally better than what already exists.
That’s kind of my point with hacks like player highlighting, I feel like a good user-reporting system would get us a lot of the way there. E.g. If someone is using see through wall hacks in an FPS I feel like it would be pretty obvious for other players to tell in a lot of cases. Other times things like erratic movements from aimbots could probably be detected by the server.
Games probably do this in some way already with something like a checksum but the problem is you could have some separate program reading from game state/display at runtime to get around this. That’s part of why a lot of cheats are installed at a kernel-level.
Preface: I’m not an expert in this yet but I’m pretty interested in learning about systems-level topics so if I’m wrong please correct me!
Yes, the thing about anticheats and anti viruses is that they are only useful when they have access to the underlying resources that a virus or cheat engine might try to modify. In other words, if cheating software is going to use kernel-level access to modify the game, then an anticheat would also need kernel-level access to find that software. It very quickly became an arms race to the lowest level of your computer. It’s the same with anti viruses.
IMO the better strategy would be to do verification on a server level, but that probably wouldn’t be able to catch a lot of cheats like wall hacks or player outlines. At some point you just have to accept that some cheaters are going to get through and you’ll have to rely on a user-reporting system to get cheaters because there will always be a way to get past the anticheats and installing a separate rootkit for each game isn’t exactly a great idea.
You also probably want to put the resin printer in a well ventilated area, as resin printers can also release particles into the surrounding air (and you really don’t want to be breathing that in)
