In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.

In a perfect world, shit's created without someone having to create it to make money. A market without middlemen is still a market.

the reddit watermark makes it even better

Either it will never see the light of day or it will be at best mediocre if it does.

Stick of truth was developed by Obsidian

At first glance I thought this was an AI generated pic of some nonsense again. I think the internet fried my brain.

I would consider even LLMs actual AI. Even bots in video games are called AIs, no? But I agree that people are vastly overestimating their capabilities and I hate the entrepreneurial bullshitting as much as everyone else.

Machine learning! That was the better term.

The obvious easy solution would be to teach LLMs to guide the user through their "thinking process" or however you may call it. Instead of answering outright. This is what people do too, right? They look at what they thought and/or wrote. Or they would say "let's test this". Like good teachers do. Problem is, that would require some sort of intelligence, which artificial intelligence ironically doesn't possess.

Yeah just get one of the life goal market, something is gonna make sense eventually right haha

Hell yeah Sauerbraten all the way

What custom keyboard do you use, and which layout?

I wrote about battery drain in response to another user who had issues on Graphene, even though this is a general Pixel issue, and has nothing to do with Graphene. The modem chews through the battery if you don't have good connectivity, although I'm not sure if that's still a big problem with the 7's and 8s. It definitely is with the 6.

Personally, I had problems with adapting to the "don't try to be a power user" philosophy of Graphene. I was used to flashing ROMs, rooting and customizing the hell out of my previous smartphones. Then I suddenly had a device which just... worked. It's still an odd feeling, but I got used to it.

Just wanted to add to the other users unique experiences. From the perspective of someone who was a "the only good phone is a phone which is one small mishap away from being bricked" kinda guy

The day they went public they also blocked old.reddit.com for VPN users, previously it was accessible that way

red.artemislena.eu

Aaah yeeah instead looking forward to Fallout 8 and Elder Scrolls 36 I need that fresh Todd slop badly

Yeah I do have a similar fear. Valve is something special. I tried to hate them, they're filthy-rich corpos after all, but I can't. Something of value will be lost when Valve finally succumbs to enshittification, which cannot be said of a lot of other big companies.

But my fear isn't necessarily about Steam. I have like 20-30 games in my library. Steam is simply the least shit way to play games you have/want to pay for.

I'm on Graphene too and I once read that the modems used in Pixel phones are pretty trashy and drain a ton of battery. If I filter my battery usage by system, it shows that network standby almost consumes half of my battery charge (~46%).

Maybe the other guy here is right and it's a VPN issue (too)? idk. Anyway, I didn't really found a solution for this except leaving my phone on airplane mode at night.

why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens?

Corporations have this knack too. Everybody in power does. It's just that one privately owned corporation can only reach so far.

Pls Rito don't ban the toxic players, keep them in League and Valorant you'e like the SCP foundation or some shit. Don't just release them inters back into the real world I BEG YOU RITO PLESAE

The battery life is interesting. Everything else, yawn

Wake me up when there's a new, more efficient APU and they stop marketing better displays, more memory and USB while not even having trackpads.

I did configure quite some Windows systems for friends and still have a Laptop with Win10 LTSC. It was a pain in the ass and I will parrot Windows bad until Windows ded

Better (and adjustable) random empire creation. Not just to tackle the spawn bias towards militarist empires or to deactivate certain civics (which can be done with mods), but to make the world feel more alive and to make it more idk immersive. I know this can be circumvented somewhat with pre-scripted empires, but they do not affect empires that form during the game (from a rebellion/split, Great Khan etc). This always bothered me in single player, the nations aren't just randomly generated, they also feel like they are.

There are 2 components, the background and the slides. I didn't touch most of the slides, because I realized they would need more than a simple upscale. The ones I did upscale I used waifu2x for. For everything else I used waifu2x, GIMP and Paint.NET.

waifu2x was an okay upscaler back in 2018. Today I would use StableSR or SUPIR.

Crisp Main Menu

I never finished it, but I think I was the only one doing higher res versions of the menu background and intro slides almost from scratch.

Another guy upscaled most of the slides, their mod is linked in the description.

Thank you :)

A little texture replacement mod I made in 2018 for Fallout 3 got a lot of downloads all of a sudden. Got a mail I thought was spam at first saying "Many people are downloading your mods and your efforts have been recognised with a free Nexus Mods Premium reward." Like wtf is going on

One reason I'm thankful for Obtainium is because "OAuth was not approved by Google, etc for the F-Droid build" of Fair Email, and unfortunately, that's still important for me. Obtainium is able to download from the official F-droid repo too.

They don't expect you to pay for everything. Everyone who knows people like that also knows that they'll easily get the money they need elsewhere.

It's honestly kinda sad that people like you, who seem to be generally generous and willing to help out, get driven towards this mindset.

I'm pretty sure more than half of the money I give to beggars occasionally will be spent on booze and drugs, but I don't really care. But when I do it I am the one who makes the decision to basically throw away my money. Plus if I lend someone money I consider it gone forever. But I never let someone guilt trip me into lending them money and I will aggressively call anyone out who tries. You seem to have a ton of really shitty people around you. Take care.

There are (modded) DRG lobbies with extreme player counts, and I don't think it's that hard to set them up. The problem I see with DRG is that it can be pretty spooky at times (similar to Minecraft or Subnautica), so it might not be suitable for a 10 year old.

I'll pick one of these for my next Stellaris roleplay.

Those only apply to the video quality, even on 1080p it defaults to low bitrate audio (which is annoying and kinda strange). Thank you anyways :)
