Just an addition to all the long comments already here:

There are some games that don’t work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links

It’s not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.

I hope they leave that experience the main focus.

Hmmm, so in the short Devlog on YouTube they ask “what do you wanna see in Subnautica 2?”, and the top comment says

A personal wish of mine is to have proximity chat in multiplayer, with options such as radios to communicate from a distance

So the players want Multiplayer, but they also want the whole game to be the same “intimate” experience as Subnautica 1 – I was really worried about that because a big part of Subnautica 1 I feel like was this absolutely overwhelming loneliness/solitude. I never got this specific feeling in Below Zero.

Nah this (edit: the tweets, not your reply) is just dumbing down and turning a valid point into a non-discussion. Chemicals ≠ chemicals. Some are safe, some are not safe. Some you can have a lot of, some need moderation. Some are artificial, some are not. Those people just can’t not think in black and white.

Also, a lot of really effective food preservation today don’t even require chemicals inside the food. A bit of citric acid, yeah, or some vitamin c. Canned goods are a really, really effective way of storing food. You don’t need chemicals for that. Like, there’s this whole BPA-discussion but this regards chemicals in the packaging, not the product itself.

Oh funny shit I found on Wikipedia btw

A [doomer] would also be interested in stockpiling canned food upon learning about a recession [citation needed]

ahahahaha

I recently drank some bland black coffee and ate some grapes while/after that. Tasted kinda awesome and I don’t know why. Give it a try

I do believe people should have the right to spent their money however the f they want, but this becomes extremely problematic if you don’t at least regulate their spending behavior, either directly or indirectly.

So okay, now you have a society full of hopeless addicts, but at least nobody has to starve. Sound kinda… dystopian if you ask me

Oh it even has a name! Yeah I searched for “pink cloud”, seems like not everbody experiences it. Curious.

My gut tells me it’s unlikely but not impossible for this to be true. Is this more than just a suspicion of yours? There are far more effective ways of propaganda than fabricating posts and replies on lemmy.

NEETs can exist but they only get the universal safety net distribution and are lowest on the housing priority list.

oh no the left wants me to rot in the gamer slums

also thank god project Cybersyn turned out as just a silly little experiment, everbody staying home playing Factorio on their own is cooler anyway. Why even try to establish a functioning economy if everyone can just have their own little functioning economy at home. Why no thank you, I have my own cybernetic communism right here in this little black box next to the monitor. what do you mean “the ecosphere is collapsing outside” it’s gonna be fiiiiiineeee

Generative AI is something inherently different. It’s a bias multiplication machine. Have you ever visited CivitAI?

Yes, the application is similar. GUIs like ComfyUI are sophisticated and grant a good deal of control and creative freedom, much like Photoshop, DAWs or Blender.

All these technologies you mentioned have one thing in common they do not have in common with generative AI though: you could use them to model after the real world. Photorealism (as in: an exact representation of something existing in the non-digital realm) is achievable with all of those. It is not possible to achieve it with generative AI. AI only has its own “space” where it snatches ideas from. Gen AI can never be a gateway to art by itself, but its also way too powerful to just be a new tool.

Also I don’t get how open source gen AI will lead to the proletarianization of art. What people need to create art is education, pen and paper, health, and free time. Making those accessible to everyone is much easier than to make sure everybody who wants to do “art” gets their 1000$ GPU and tons of RAM.

Yes and no. Under communism, we would be able to have less AI and it would be developed slower.

My statement was incomplete, AI is not just an economic venture, the big players (maily The US and China) catched on about its massive potential for informational warfare and control over their population.

As long as there’s states fighting over resources and power, any technology that can be utilized to get an edge over you enemies, not just AI, can and will be pushed forward, damn the consequences. Plus if you see capitalism as an entity itself, you could also argue that it’s doing this for its own survival.

Communism is not the only vision of a stateless society spanning the globe, but one whose thoughts and ideas have been well established.

You point is that AI has inherent issues, just by existing. You are correct. But I believe if we limit the application of AI to non-military uses, if we decouple it from power struggles, its benefits may outweigh its undeniable cost.

I disagree. The hunger for chips, energy and water only got so big because venture capital decided to invest big in AI corporations. If we had another approach to ressource allocation we could slow down the rapid advancement and with it the ressource consumption.

This would also mean that there would time to discuss ethical/philosophical questions of AI and AI usage.

Those are literally the problems this post means. And all of what you mentioned could be described as a direct or indirect consequence/effect of capitalism as well (ravaging industrialism, culture industry, copyright for mee but not for thee). AI in this context is just a technological catalyst.

Did you read the Communist Manifesto yet? It’s pretty short and a good starting point. Definitely more digestible than The Capital. It establishes and explains most well-known Marxist terminology, so you can put it into context if you stumble upon it elsewhere. You can find it on the internet pretty easily.

They could’ve done both lol

What I find the saddest about this… I want to believe that they (plural, the liberals) fundamentally try to achieve something they think is good, but do actually just do more harm. They try to defend innocent jews against (perceived) antisemitic rhetoric and want to make their stance (which is important), but defend people perpetrating a genocide in the process. This may also stem from some kind of… how do I call it… artificial moderation? The avoidance of one-sidedness at all cost, to the point at which it paradoxically becomes detrimental to a discussion; a tendency I see in a lot of people discussing shit only, including myself at times. Brave martyrs, and innovative thinkers at the same time! But only because a thought hasn’t been put into words yet doesn’t mean it’s a productive thought worth typing out.

I suspect this is a reply to someone speaking of a “final solution”? It is polemic – and because of that it is a perfect entry point to a discussion about how this is something we should take seriously. The poster obviously didn’t take that chance.

As much as I think it is justified and correct to make this comparison with Nazis, we should also reflect on why we make it. I suspect it’s to give the horror a face, some kind of form. Because it’s so scary, so horrifyingly inhuman. An old and known face for a fresh re-emergance of an seemingly incomprehensible evil (I know the conflict itself has been going on for more than half a century – we are taking a perspective here). edit: I want to make clear that I speculate about the function, not the legitimacy of the nazi comparisons.

The pedo part though. Aaahhh. Ieghggrvs. Jfhdjsv. No idea why anyone would… ah. Better not think about it.

Daaaamn I fucked up. will try again gimme a few minutes

This post is 50% shitpost 40% thought poison and 10% half-baked good ideas PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUS thank you

a gamble anywhere else

Are there even any communities related to creative writing anywhere on lemmy? Never stumbled upon any

Thank you, I appreciate all your kind words :)

Maybe a bit of pressure wouldn’t hurt, hexbear is The first only community I’m kinda vibing with, and be it only from a observer’s perspective most of the time.

This might be more of a problem stemming from ADHD/neurodiversity because I actually struggle to articulate myself in my first language too. I often have to revise a text twice or more before I’m sure it’s communicating what I meant.

For example, the really interesting discussion of my original reply could come from me noting that advertisement has become a commodity itself. Look at mobile games, the line between the actual product and advertisement has become increasingly blurry over the last few years.

If you need one more shitposter on hexbear, well I’m down for that too. .world doesn’t usually appreciate my shitposts, no idea why that is

A very educated and smart now software engineer ML friend of mine always tried to express himself in the simplest way possible. He could’ve come up with a very sophisticated reason, but only said “if simple words are enough, why make it more complicated” when you asked him. This was fascinating to me, and reflected his approach to problem solving in general. “Use only the minimal amount of complex language necessary”. You want to communicate after all.

Sorry I know I don’t seem like my English is bad but you have to trust me :D sometimes I use a wrong term or make very vague statements or generally talk shit (and I am pretty good at that, too).
