I'd love to see someone figure out how to up the player limit or link games. Baldur's Gate would be such a great medium for a D&D roleplay server if it could be set up to handle it.

The way to fix it is for developers not to sell out. When your small studio's game blows up, you're left with a choice. Do you care about art and making quality games, or do you care about making money and appeasing corporations in exchange for empty promises?

Are you going to leave you work in the hands of its creators, or are you going to hand it off to someone whose entire path in life is centered around squeezing as much money as possible out of every product with no concern for its quality or integrity?

That's horrible. Haldol is like a punch to the brain. They're going to turn these poor kids into chemical zombies.

The Sega game was pretty cool. You could be a dinosaur!

Nah, it's a subscription service, but it's got a few notable YouTubers and they tend to drop extra content there. PhilosophyTube is on there, 12Tone, a bunch of people. As a platform it's a lot less bullshit, but it's also obviously less content.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting, so I'm not really sure they stand to benefit that much. It kind of explains why the content has been lacking. It certainly won't ever have the diversity of content that YouTube has with that approach.

Honestly learning that it's more of a market stall than a garden makes me less enthusiastic. It's there to curate what's already on YouTube without YouTube's limitations, not to create a better alternative that's actually sustainable.

uBlock Origin works fine for me on youtube. Just make sure you keep it updated and don't run multiple blockers.

This could honestly be really good for Nebula.

You have literally no idea who I am or what I do.

I used GIMP to make a mock-up of a sign for a restaurant just yesterday. Is it going to be the tool I use for the final product? No, because that'll be in vector, but it's a lot easier to slap something together in than Inkscape or Krita.

'Killer apps' are meaningless in comparison to useful apps. I'm an artist who needs usable tools for her work. GIMP qualifies. Personally, I find it way easier and more intuitive to navigate than Krita, Inkscape, or any of Adobe's suite. It may not be for you, that's cool.

But what isn't cool is to pretend you know about other people's lives and what they need. Speak for yourself, you are perfectly capable of doing that. If you don't like GIMP's UI, that's great. If you think GIMP's UI is absolutely horrible for every user and nobody would ever use it for professional work.. you're literally just completely wrong.

This is a repost. Also, like, do we need to keep spamming Beehaw's tech section with headlines that reference rape as like, a casual way to say that a company did something dishonest? Cause I'm not really into it.

Like, seriously, is there a creepier version of this headline?

It would be nice if companies like this came out with a budget model so more people could participate in supporting their products. Lotta poor folks into FOSS.

5-7-5 is pretty stable tbh.

I've been looking more seriously at making a permanent switch to Linux, as I don't plan to ever upgrade to Windows 11. I'm currently running a dual-boot with Ubuntu Studio, and I've been trying to piece together everything I need to move my regular usage over.

I think I've got enough of a grasp of Jack at this point to replace Voicemeeter, which was one of my big hurdles. The next, though, is Discord's incomplete functionality.

For those who don't know, audio doesn't stream with screen sharing over discord on Linux. I do a lot of streaming with friends, so we kind of need this functionality.

I know it's possible to run a discord client on Linux that fixes this problem, but given that it's technically against the ToS, I don't really want to risk my account. I have a bunch of stuff set up for game servers, including all sorts of webhooks and ticket tool configurations and the like, so it isn't really worth risking.

I know there are some VLC plugins I can use to stream video files, but that doesn't help if I'm trying to stream a game or my DAW.

Has anyone found solutions that work for them? The easier for the person I'm streaming to, the better.

This is fascinating. I've certainly seen AI hallucinating things like imaginary functions in gdscript. Admittedly, it does it a lot more with gpt3 than with gpt4 on a subscription, which is consistent with what 3 vs 4 has access to, but I'm sure the problems apply in a lot of other use cases that might have not had the benefit of more recent documentation.

I suppose it's not surprising that a number of larger entities have been falling prey to this, as they keep trying to inappropriately jam AI into their production lines where it's incapable of doing the job. Pretty clever vulnerability to find, though.

Ultimately, this is probably a good thing for human coders, imo. The more LLMs demonstrate that they're not effective without robust human intervention, the better.

I was trying to do a memory test to see how far back 3.5 could recall information from previous prompts, but it really doesn't seem to like making pseudorandom seeds. 😆
