  Apparently it’s really good. I think I have it on my steam deck. But I recently just dusted off a ps3 (which has a ps1 built in) made it network ready and viola.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckStation dev dropping support for Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Why did they have to provide support? That is the part that is confusing. You could say they can’t get anything done due to bug requests and can’t seperate the spam from the ham, but nobody makes anyone do support.

  Lol can’t read the verge article and can’t read the archive one either.

  The internet is so fucking dead.

  Captchas that don’t work, next to a reminder that to keep from seeing this I should run antivirus.

  I am on a damn PHONE! No VPN, just a standard internet connection.

  So sick of this shit, I want early 2000’s internet back.

  Wow. You missed my points, and called me a scab for no reason.

  You FOR spreading TIKTOK bullshit? Or can you see that it is a sad day to have to work for that company?

  Maybe you should look a little deeper and not be such a prick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok employees in Germany strike over AI taking their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to work for tiktok?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, it has a quick blurb on by default but actually interacting with it requires an opt in. That seems like a gold balance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI companies have stopped warning you that their chatbots aren’t doctors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Here is the really scary part: so many doctors were using Google lately anyways… Now they are turning to medical llms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked the internet better when there wasn’t a business model.

  Even this stupid article wants to sell me something.

  I am still hosting websites, for free, with no ads. These are few and far between. All this technology and it only has gotten worse while hosting has only gotten easier.

  "said that the AI-driven traffic apocalypse is a nightmare for people who make content online…“If we don’t figure out how to fix this, the internet is going to die,” he said.

  I make content online. I host my own web pages, I create my own content.

  The difference is I don’t do ads and I don’t ask for subscriptions. Like the way it used to be. The internet won’t die, the internet for profit will. I couldn’t care less if AI scrapes my site, it has zero bearing on what I am doing.

  The bigger issue, and the article is touching on it “journalism will die”. That is significant. Because any moron can post nonsense on the internet and have it picked up (also why the internet won’t die). Anyone with money in a different business can pretend to be publishing “news”.

  I think they are right that AI is not going to save media companies, I don’t know who is going to pay journalists, and there are few laws about owning a monopoly on media companies and requiring them to tell the truth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how everything I read about this uses WhatsApp as a reference. If you are using WhatsApp you already failed and probably don’t care about this, lol.

  In any case it’s time to get GrapheneOS and be done with this shot, but the irony is not lost on me that I will have to get a Google product (pixel) to avoid a Google product (Gemini).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Jailbreak AI by Flooding It With Bullshit Jargon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yawn. So work with models without guardrail constraints? I am not sure what the point is here.

  Seems like it might be just as easy to read the book they referenced in the prompt and go from there instead of working so hard to break a commercially offered AI guardrails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fedora, specifically KDE version. It will feel like the steamdeck desktop (because it is) will get quick updates and is painless to manage.

  The first bug I have seen in two years is the screen lock bug just recently. But I imagine it will get sorted soon and isn’t a showstopper.
