You also don't need to try to justify a feature using some metric like market demand nor will you get pushback around the idea that an idea is too niche or confusing. Anything that helps you, you can add yourself. And if others find it useful -- then, great -- go ahead an collaborate if you wish.
I couldn't stop thinking about the Meta AI chatbot that made up a human experience in a parenting Facebook group - so I wrote about why online communities are for people, not chatbots. Decades of social computing research tells us that information seeking in online communities is as much about shared experiences and human connection as it is about getting an answer. Maybe generative AI shouldn't be everywhere doing everything. https://theconversation.com/ai-chatbots-are-intruding-into-online-communities-where-people-are-trying-to-connect-with-other-humans-229473
@cfiesler the problem is that tech companies don't seem to care about what they should do. There's a systematic problem with the silicon valley mindset of enter and disrupt a market quickly while punting concerns and dismissing dissenters. They literally force changes on society that serve no benefit but to benefit themselves.
@verge I like the way the recall feature is low key microsoft just admitting they're watching your pc activity. Best case, it's only local on device spying that might be a security exploit. Worst case that all of that stuff is sent up to whatever Azure service microsoft is maintaining. Make of that what you will.
@kaiserkiwi
Modding and a locked down system with very limited file system access just don't mix well. I think console manufacturers should at least reflect on the strengths of their own devices instead of trying to shoehorn solutions that don't fit the market they are seeking to serve. That might require more creative thinking, but it would serve them better than being simply limited PCs.
@PixelBandits Loved what I played of this @ GDC this year. It was a surprise to see it as I was just talking to friends about whether or not the PS1/N64 aesthetic is redeemable and I think this game highlights that there are things to like about the art style for sure.
It's a tiny bit annoying to share files between a linux host to a windows guest.
Right now, I have a firewall-protected samba server that can only be connected to from my VM to share files but I don't love this. When I tried webdav sharing via spice, though, the performance was too slow and a bit annoying to work around.
Should be worth noting that I'd like to work on most files in Linux, where I'm comfortable, and mostly just compile / run a terminal on the windows side to compile a project and run necessary software on a windows vm.
This seems like a job for SSH but seem to have a lot of issues connecting to a windows ssh instance from my linux host. This is most probably a skill issue. #virtualmachine
@scherzog Well, ideally I would share my files between host/guest but I seem to run into a lot of performance problems when doing so. Syncthing would have duplicates, which is fine also
I think I've found a decent compromise with webdav where I treat it as my git remote on my virtual system just so I can pull code and then compile. This at least makes it less burdensome to write my code on my linux system. When passing windows builds back, I'll just use warpinator or something of the same vein.
The Atari 400 was my first real computer and video game machine. I love that Atari brought it back in the form of a mini console kind of thing. Final product needs a little work, though. Here's me reviewing The400 Mini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks8mYN-L_a8
@jeffgerstmann These projects are always awesome, but I feel that the MiSTer has dampened my enthusiasm for them a bit. It's hard to justify going back to emulation when hardware-level accuracy is possible and provides a near native experience.
@fufroom The steam deck really is a hero for Godot Engine.
We've had so much use of it when it comes to GDC and other presentation opportunities, such as the latest W4 Godot GDC 2024 showcase. Enough so that I'd love to make development and deployment of test applications even easier from a separate desktop client.
Today I finished a year-long project 🍾🎉 of painting a 1 inch (2.5cm) square for almost every day of the past year. As a novice watercolorist it was a good challenge and I’m glad I did it.
The main subject was the slice of Pacific Ocean and sky I can see from our house. If I traveled or had something otherwise interesting to me I painted something about that.
Things I learned:
Simplify! A very small canvas means pare down the details.
AAAAAAAAA FUCK IM SO EXCITED I NEED TO SEE THIS. THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE THEATERS WAS INU-OH IN AUGUST 2022. BUT THIS. THIS. I NEED THIS. #anime#evangelion
