Unciv! Ever heard of Civ, aka Sid Meier’s Civilization? Wanna play it on your phone without shelling out $20 for one of the worst-reviewed mobile ports of all time? Unciv is an open source implementation of a tile-based, turn-based strategy game. Oh, and there’s built-in mod support as well. Not huge on mobile gaming, so it’s literally the only one I’ve been playing for months.

True shit, whether it’s arabic, english, or something else; shit heels will clap when gay people die.

Either him or Jon Bringus

I love goblin computing

The worst type of person is someone who “already knows” everything. I’ve become accustomed to simply waiting for them to fail instead of offering advice that is at first refused. A boring, small way to live.

Bye-bye Mars First Logistics. Shame, at least I have a new physics game to be interested in though lmao

Individuals having desires is not “the problem”. That would be corporations having free reign to behave however the fuck they want, so long as they can pay the fed.

They have a guest checkout option for this

There are some shops that will actually collect the vapes and send them back to the manufacturer for recycling. But it’s less common than it used to be, which frustrates me to no end, it should be the reverse if anything.

I think it’s the marketing of it. A decent amount of people I’ve talked to genuinely don’t know that there’s a reusable option. This also changed when the tobacco industry got involved. Vaping used to have more of a culture of cessation. It was talked about how you could transition from cigs at a higher nicotine level, then bring it down until you’re vaping zero nic, then quit that. I barely hear anyone talk about the quitting pipeline anymore. I don’t think it’s an accident, I think it’s intentional.

Edit: I also think it’s the fact that you only have to buy one thing, and the 3 things (device, coils, juice) aren’t available in every gas station like disposables are. And the user experience - open the box and it starts right up, no refills, all it needs is a charge once in a while. People are really fucking lazy, by nature. But the cost of all those conveniences is indebted tenfold upon the environment, as destruction and waste.

As someone who vapes quite a bit, I would genuinely love to see this. Disposables are an absolute shitshow and never should have existed in the first place.

Yes, offloads into system. Oh and i forgot to mention that’s with the context set around 25k. That can vary greatly per model though, it’s taken some experimentation to figure that out.

I have a rx5600xt (6gb), 32gb ram, ryzen 3600. System hasn’t been updated since i built it during covid. QwenV3-vl35B is the heftiest thing I can run, it gets around 2 tokens/sec, in LM studio. It’s easier than most people seem to think.

Unprompted snark from an .ml user, how surprising. I am a bigger cheerleader for open source than any of my friends or family. It’s the only real path to stay free of corporate influence, greed, and spying (in regards to software). Live free or die.

Bitwarden is, by definition, open source. It has been since I started using it ~6 years ago. I’m tired of literally everything having the potential for enshittification. Nothing is safe in the long run, not even volunteer-run projects. If you think your favorite project is safe because of some “core ethos” or “guiding principles”, you’re just drinking the kool-aid. As long as we exist under capitalism, anything under the sun can be enshittified.

I will never give up, even if things seem even more dire than they are now. But I’m tired of having to maintain constant vigilance.

Ah for fuck’s sake. Seems like every month I have to change something because some fucking company starts getting a taste for greed via data sucking. I’m goddamn sick of it.

So if there is a legal battle, this would likely be the crux of their argument. Good to know.

This is lame as shit. The tone of the writing is going to get non-tech people feeling quite dismissive, or scared enough to seek out surface level info, which just rolls back into feeling dismissive. It’s actually really stupid because they’re clearly driving fear, but hardly touch the real thing to be scared of. Fingerprinting is barely mentioned, it’s only really addressed once, in the font identification section. The issue with all these data points is how they can be collected and correlated across the web - it basically means fuck-all if it’s only from one page.

edit: On top of that, each data point is presented as some sort of horrible catastrophe, when some are completely benign. Barely addressing why some points actually matter, or not at all. (Like click/touch data, it’s needed for site functionality, but it gets creepy when that data is used for things like psychological profiling)

Even more disappointing because the formatting/appearance is more than clean enough to share with basically anyone. Yet the tone and focus makes that out of the question. What a waste of time to make this.

Now that’s what I call hedging!

Is it only two years? I feel like I’ve seen more. I always consult it before buying any game. Feeds my sales addiction.

I’ve wanted this since PUBG came out. PvE with a solo focus, teams optional. Could even involve indirect PvP - can’t directly attack the other players, just sabotage/score higher. I feel like there’s really an untapped market there, but if it’s not a live service with monthly payments and cosmetics then the suits aint interested. Gag.

Well… Technically, he didn’t say they were successfully armed. He said there was an attempt made but he thought the arms didn’t make it to the protesters.

Edit: Still seems like a big deal for it to be confirmed in any sense.
