Yeah, same thing that has happened in several other countries. Google is supposed to pay companies to advertise their news stories through search results, and google refuses to do that meaning they have to block news websites in that country.

Original stable diffusion wasn’t trained by individuals, but clearly the current progression of the software is largely community driven. All sorts of new tech and add-ons for it, huge volumes of community trained checkpoints and Lora’s, and of course the interfaces themselves like automatic1111 and vladmatic.
And it’s something you can run yourself offline with a halfway decent graphics card.
Looks super nice, but won’t let me log in to my instance.
A lot of the AI stuff is a Pandora’s box situation. The box is already open, there’s no closing it back. AI art, AI music, and AI movies will become increasingly high quality and widespread.
The biggest thing we still have a chance to influence with it is whether it’s something that individuals have access to or if it becomes another field dominated by the same tech giants that already own everything. An example is people being against stable diffusion because it’s trained by individuals on internet images, but then being ok with a company like Adobe doing it because they snuck a line into their ToS that they can train AI off of anything uploaded to their creative cloud.
Yes, I recently started no man’s sky and at times I find I have to swap to a more simple game because it feels overwhelming.
I never used to feel this way in games, I think it’s a lack of time as I get older. When I was younger I could afford to spend days and days figuring out a game, now it feels like I have limited time and need to use it efficiently.
I’ve gotten back into gaming lately, and the two biggest things (for me) were focusing on fixed length single player games and getting a steam deck.
It seems like every new game these days is a live service game or an open world, but playing through some focused, shorter, more straightforward games has been great for recapturing a love of games. When I was younger I preferred games that gave a lot of hours of gameplay for the money invested, but these days I have plenty of money and a shortage on time, so shorter games are king.
Second, I bought a steam deck. I only use it for games, I don’t share it with my kids/wife/anyone, and it has a sleep function that lets me stop instantly in the middle of a game when needed and start back from that exact moment when I have time again. One of the biggest issues that was keeping me from playing games was feeling like I didn’t have enough time or didn’t know how much time I had. I wouldn’t want to start a game unless I knew I was going to have time for a good play session. With the steam deck it doesn’t matter if I only have 5 minutes, I can jump straight back into playing where I was last and quit the second I need to. It’s turned lots of small time where I was scrolling reddit/etc into time where I’m actually making progress on a game I want to play, and I’ve found that to be more satisfying. Small play sessions add up, if you’re able to frequently hop in and play a little bit you’ll quickly find yourself playing through games again.
Coming to steam/steam deck too!
I figured it would be, but with the Nintendo switch version announced yesterday I was a bit worried it’d be exclusive. Wouldn’t be the first time that games that normally don’t have couch coop got it added for the switch version.

Yeah, and the user experience matters a lot right now. The reddit blackout is the best chance for rapid Lemmy/fediverse growth, so giving the best user experience right now is critical. Users who are new to the fediverse are already confused by the multiple instances, adding in extra conditions like “don’t join these communities because you can’t interact with this community” adds an extra level of complexity and makes the fediverse seem fractured and flawed as a first impression.
Beehaw’s decision to defiderate may have been the best short-term decision for them, but I feel like it’s a terrible decision for the rest of the fediverse and will hurt growth.
I read somewhere that kbin supports themes, so you may be able to address your design issues that way.
It’s not free, but Slice & Dice is the best mobile game I’ve ever played. It has a pretty large and good demo that’s worth playing by itself.
Xenoblade is great, definitely one of my favorite series. I remember stumbling across a xenoblade community on a lemmy server that was called possum something, but I think it was empty and I haven’t found it again.
I’m playing through Yakuza like a dragon right now and it’s a pretty interesting twist on a JRPG. I definitely prefer the combat to the beat-em-up yakuza games.
The “no stupid questions” content we are all here for.
Thanks for sharing. I put a request in and I’ll see how comprehensive the data is.
Yeah, I think the kind of people to drop reddit over this are going to be more my kind of people, if that makes sense.
Conversation seems deeper, less dominated by repeated jokes.
Dbrady (the maker of Relay) has pushed multiple updates in the last month optimizing and reducing API calls. He then spent time recording anonymous data to see what the average API calls are, and is basing that pricing on average API calls after the changes.
This is what I came to recommend. I’m actually waiting for it to exit early access (or at least cook a bit longer), but it looks like a detective game wet dream.
I can’t get it out of my mind, only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I don’t want to experience an inferior version of it.
Honestly I’m leaning on discord as a crutch to avoid going back to reddit. I suspect discord will ruin themselves one day as well, but I plan to continue using it for the future until options like Lemmy are more developed.
Many of those subs started out good, but the content lost meaning as they grew. Subs that were supposed to highlight really impressive stuff became mediocre, and not interesting/mildly interesting became genetic content.
I haven’t tried Element X, but I’d like to recommend SchildiChat as a good matrix client for desktop and mobile. My understanding is it’s a fork of element, but it works much better and more reliably in my experience. Element was very inconsistent about fetching messages for example.
