Thank you, I almost forgot. I was busy explaining to someone else how their phone isn’t actually smart.

If it knows what children looks like and knows what sex looks like, it can extrapolate. That being said, I think all photos of children should be removed from the datasets, regardless of the sexual content.

Ahhh curse me, just got caught only reading the headline. I’m a fool.
- Comment on A Steam Deck Has Been Turned Into A Steam Machine 3 days ago:
There’s a lot of docks available that do this but let you easily grab your deck as you’re leaving the house. What’s the point of locking it in a box.
- Comment on Muon, a plugin that allows multiple decks to connected directly to each other for LAN games without a Wifi network, is now on the Decky Store 5 days ago:
Legitimately useful! Thanks
- Comment on Decky Plugin "DeckyParty" may be the easiest way yet to transfer files between your Deck and other devices 5 days ago:
I just ssh to it with vs code. You get a console to install things with and what not and a text editor so you can write your own scripts or notes for things.
- Comment on Larian will no longer use GenAI for Divinity concept art, and any genAI used for other games will be "trained on data we own" 3 weeks ago:
Maybe if they mean fine tuning but from scratch, no.
It’s the main reason I think the whole anti-AI movement is going in the wrong direction. If we all don’t get open access to it, that means the access is dictated by sites like shutter stock and deviant art. It doesn’t go away.
- Comment on Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use, asserting "a lot has become lost in translation" 1 month ago:
Using scraped data to train AI models was never seen as theft before the recent media campaign.
Labeling it as such won’t stop AI, it will just let aggregation websites like Reddit and Deviant Art set the entry price. Any artist that uploads his work on the net has already signed his rights away when it comes to this.
It’s even worse when you get into music gen (5 corps own all the data) and video gen (Hollywood and YouTube). Individuals are simply not getting a piece of the pie no matter what happens.

- Comment on Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st! 2 months ago:
Would it though? If you are using it with a controller, it’s probably plugged into the tv, at which point you can just connect controllers to it with Bluetooth.
The switch style controller is cute but mostly a gimmick imo.
- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 2 months ago:
If it gets a proper market share and can’t be ignored, developers will be more inclined to take care of it themselves. A lot of games come already working on it.
- Comment on Steam Deck gets a new low-power screen-off downloads mode 2 months ago:
There is definitely an option to have it auto-update. I don’t know about scheduling.
- Comment on Recommend Battery Packs? 2 months ago:
I think you might be over thinking it. Your plane and layover location will have outlets that will charge quicker then the battery pack.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 dev apologizes for requiring Secure Boot to power anti-cheat tools 4 months ago:
Windows 11
I do all my gaming on steam deck these days, which means every battlefield except 4 is unplayable. Idk if bf6 would have worked but 2042 did before they turned on their new anti-cheat in an update.

You don’t need to change your political system to have sound energy policies.
- Comment on As ChatGPT Linked to Mental Health Breakdowns, Mattel Announces Plans to Incorporate It Into Children's Toys 7 months ago:
Grown educated adults sometimes anthropomorphize llms, I doubt even a fifth of children will be able to understand that their talking barbie isn’t an actual living entity.
- Comment on It turns out you can train AI models without copyrighted material 7 months ago:
You can but the results are going to be essentially unusable compared to SOTA. You are still giving the big AI companies a massive monopoly just so the big copyright companies can make even more money.
Only one solution is good for us. In both cases, the ones that actually created the data get screwed though.
- Comment on TechCrunch: Reddit sues Anthropic for allegedly not paying for training data 7 months ago:
Reddit losing this lawsuit would be a loss to reddit and a loss to the AI companies, since they wont be able to build their monopoly over the fresh corpse of the open source options.
- Comment on TechCrunch: Reddit sues Anthropic for allegedly not paying for training data 7 months ago:
I have been pretty vocal about how strengthening copyright laws would only help website like reddit, record companies and publishing houses.
They sold “their” data for 60 million to google. None of us got a dime. This dream where artist and conrtibuters somehow get a part of the profits is pure pipe.
Reddit isn’t fighting for us, they are fighting over who gets to screw us.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 8 months ago:
Now do Musk and Bezos!!
All billionaire wealth is stolen wealth. All billionaires are bad. If you stopped bootlicking for a second, you would realize defending Gaben is defending the system. The fact that he can legally exploit it to steal from consumers and developers doesn’t absolve him from doing it.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 8 months ago:
Geo blocking is anti-consumer. It was a 16 million euro fine if I remember well.

Gaben isn’t your friend and probably mocks you during his high seas coke parties.
- Comment on Epic reduce their cut to 0% for the first $1 million in revenue for devs on the Epic Games Store 8 months ago:
Steam makes a shit load of money. The server fees are basically a joke and they have 80 employees in the steam division.
The only things that is being invested in is Gabens fleet of mega yatchs, worth an estimated 1 billion, and costing between 75 and 100 million annually to maintain.
Valve has been fined in the EU for anti-consumer practices and received an F from the better business bureau. They are currently in the middle of an other lawsuit.
30% is way too high and it’s a joke to see actual consumers defend it.
- Comment on After pushing cloud storage, TV provider to auto-delete 61-day-old DVR recordings 1 year ago:
I’m pretty sure you could just have it stop recording when it got full. There is in any case a big difference between auto delete to make space and deleting on a timer base regardless of what the user wants or the space involved. My family had series we kept for years on it and would rewatch whenever.
Don’t know what defendable about this. Its clearly skeevy, weird thing to bootlick about.
- Comment on After pushing cloud storage, TV provider to auto-delete 61-day-old DVR recordings 1 year ago:
They were first advertised with hard drives that didn’t auto delete anything

- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 1 year ago:
Offermans character was deep in the closet and his future husband had to break down some heavy emotional walls. It was his first relationship with a man.
Being gay was very much part of the theme and wasn’t just some offhand detail about them imo.
There was a lot to the episode but pretending their sexuality had no impact on how the story was told or its impact is silly. I don’t think it would have been as touching without it.
Some of you really need a rewatch.
- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 1 year ago:
The most common option is always left out. We say Thai food or Chinese food but no one says “Lets have some American food tonight” when living in the US, because it’s implied if no other type is mentioned.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with calling it a gay love story or just a love story, one just offers more information.
- Comment on Nick Offerman Slams ‘Homophobic Hate’ Against His ‘The Last of Us’ Episode: ‘It’s Not a Gay Story. It’s a Love Story, You A–hole!’ 1 year ago:
It’s okay to clarify and specify when something is gay.
Its clearly its own sub genre, Netflix has specific categories for it and Asian culture has a specific acronym (BL for boy love). Many people prefer it over the rest, even without being gay themselves.
Acknowledging a difference isn’t necessarily an insult.

I recently rewatched season 1, such a great show

Fargo has been great even though the season finale could have been better
