This sucks. Why are you making fun of a random child who is obviously nervous and uncomfortable?

Well it will be fine even if you only leave it charging a tiny fraction of the times you use it. And with AAs you have to remember to change them anyway or it will die while you’re playing.

And if you think the process of:

opening the back cover, taking out the AAs (especially on the original steam controller), putting them in a charger, and putting new ones back in the controller

is even close to as easy as just setting the controller down on a magnetic charger, I don’t know what to tell you.

They’re The controller is always charged because I put them it on the charger when I rotate them. am not using it.

So the controller never dies unless you’re playing for more than a day straight, and there’s no fiddly swapping out of batteries. The only downside is that you might need to replace the battery in like 5 years time with heavy use, and it’s only marginally more difficult than swapping out AAs.

Well the rechargeable AAs will wear out just like an internal battery, but there’s more of them and they’re individually packaged. It’s a bit more waste and a bit more money, even if it’s not a big difference.

Personally I think the big difference is in usability - I’d rather just leave the controller on a charger when not in use and never have to worry about swapping cells in and out. (I think battery degradation is overblown - it should last way more than 2 years, especially if you aren’t gaming for 20 hours straight)

You’re so close to getting it…

Basic scrolling feels so much better. And I don’t think it really makes a huge difference for battery life, so I always leave if at 120.

What is that ‘open secret’?

What a fucking joke.

I love this game. It’s simple in an elegant way, but the gameplay has quite a bit of depth. (A lot of emergent strategy)

This isn’t really accurate. Mbin does what Lemmy and Piefed do (Reddit replacement) plus what Mastodon does (twitter replacement). They’re just in different tabs of the interface. You have the option of microblogging if you want, but threads are still pretty much exactly the same compared to Lemmy or Piefed.

Linux could still make a significant improvement in responsiveness or performance. Especially with something like Cachyos.

It sounds like you handled that maturely, and about as well as you could. It’s not like you can just choose to be less sensitive.

Not necessarily. It’s way more complicated, and there’s no clear line. If you use that definition, then coyotes and wolves become the same species, for example.

Well now it’s as if half of the books in the library are written by the parrot. The librarian doesn’t know the difference, and keeps trying to make you speak with the parrot anyway.

Most roadwork contractors are spending most of the money doing job and paying employees, not funneling it to an neonazi AI.

SpaceX has taken a ton of money from taxpayers, (at the expense of NASA,) but hasn’t been making good progress on the Artemis program, for example. Musk has also threatened to stop decommission the Dragon, which the US astronauts currently rely on.

In my opinion, Elon is a national security threat, and SpaceX should be nationalized and managed by NASA.

I made this post in response to seeing a low quality AI video that was literally an ad for a company.

I’m fine with actually high quality AI stuff (labeled, preferably), but there seems to be almost none.

It’s been everywhere for a while, but the fediverse seemed like a last bastion up until very recently where I’ve noticed a change.

Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?

I sure hope not. At least it’s just a few posts here that are generated for now. If it ever gets to the level of Reddit, I might just leave.

As someone who is both, would definitely say I’m interested in generative ML. (I was an early adopter of locally run diffusion models and LLMs. I kinda ended up deeply disappointed by the tech in a lot of ways, but that’s a different discussion.)

But personally for me the issue is that I really don’t care to see posts that someone didn’t care enough to make themself, or read something that someone didn’t care to write. And it’s always super bland and uninteresting.

Yeah I agree. The issue is that image generation tends to result in maximally bland outputs, and the people who post it tend to put minimal effort in.

I’m not categorically anti-ai, but I feel like I am in practice.
