• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨itch.io will soon let you filter games with genAI disclosures out of your search results on the site, after admitting it was previously "critically lacking"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess having a filter is better than none so people who respect the platform will tag their AI generated stuff. But yeah, this doesn’t fix the major issue at all. This is why many open source apps lifted their ban on AI-assisted PRs, there’s no point and you can’t prove whether something was made by AI or not. Making a ban or filters just encourages mob mentality and people falsely accusing genuine human effort as “hey this looks like AI!!!”

  P.S. I’ve been told by a friend in the industry that pretty much every AAA company is using AI in all sorts of ways, but you bet they’re not going to put an AI warning because that’s bad PR. Bleh.

  Fluxer almost has feature parity, but yeah it’s also still in beta and doesn’t have mobile apps yet. When it gets ready, I think it’s the Discord alternative.

  There would be so much less hate if they had just tagged it as an early access game, because it very much is unfinished and released way too early. Ugh, I hate that I paid $20 for it on release.

  I really could’ve used this when updating my controller to support Switch 2, I had to grab someone’s Windows laptop for that lol. Really nice that it exists now.

  Yeah I was getting serious dejavu reading this title. Wyrmspan has been out for ages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is about to require age verification for everyone⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This sucks ass and even worse that there isn’t a competitor that’s anywhere near Discord’s level yet. And no, Matrix isn’t a discord competitor.

  FWIW the title is wrong, they won’t require age verification for everyone, you just won’t be able to access 18+ servers and see porn unless you’re verified. And according to Discord the verification videos stay on-device and never gets sent to servers. If this is true then at least it’s better than the privacy nightmare of other platforms…

  This was already launched last year for the UK and Australia, and now it’s going global.

  Screw you for pushing this, UK and Australia.
