They are still being vague about the monetization (it does seem like it will have MTX) and I’m am completely certain that designing it with co-op in mind is going to ruin the singleplayer vibe and progression. Hopefully I’m proven wrong though

If its by the developer of NPxSB why not just update that one, or am I misunderstanding something in the title?

Sure, but nothing is theoretically stopping them from documenting every single data source input into the training module and then crediting it later.

For some reason they didn’t want to do that of course.

These bridges are usually self-hosted so I’m assuming this is not due to infrastructure costs but rather the bridge code maintenance issues? Do they require so much work to stay functional, are other bridges at risk of abandonment too?

I can still see the value in owning it in this shitty climate however - maybe I want to keep the patent just so I can distribute it freely instead of someone else staking their claim on it and then charging people for the same thing?

Someone else is imprinting their definition

I mean yeah, that’s how words work? AA has the meaning because a bunch of people imprinted their meaning on it.

Open source has a meaning because a bunch of people imprinted their meaning on it too, it has no relevance to actual words “open” or “source”. The issue is that other people are now imprinting their own meaning on it and muddling it instead of following the existing meaning or coming up with their own terminology.

I think the only thing we’re missing is the official OSI definition for open-source-for-reading-but-not-modifying so we don’t use the same name as for the open-source-for-reading-and-modifying code? The issue seems that we don’t have OSI-defined names for both, just for one, so people started misusing it unknowingly while the businesses misused it maliciously.

Am I understanding correctly and this is truly FOSS and fully offline, there’s no remote server or model we have to connect to? What was the model trained on? I’m really curious but I also don’t want to support proprietary unethical data sourcing.

Muddying the waters is the oldest trick in the books, big corporations have even started doing it with “indie” games - Dave the Diver is stylized and marketed as an indie game despite being developed by a division of a multi-billion company Nexon.

I definitely have an issue with it as well, it’s really hard to say whether something is actually FOSS nowadays or not, and whether it can be taken away or acquired by someone else down the line. That could be my fault as well since I never bothered to learn about the licenses beyond what MIT / Apache2 are, and even those I understand superficially.

There should absolutely be more pushback for things like these though.

Fediverse in general really needs to adopt the multireddit approach to feed categories, or in other worlds let us group them properly. Sometimes I want to see news, sometimes I want to hear from some content creators and other times I might want to see what my friends are up to. Keeping it all in one feed (even worse if it’s just chronological) is just a terrible way of handling it.

Dunno if lists are quite that but maybe we’re finally moving towards it at least.

I mean…yeah. This sounds deeper than it actually is lol.

Yeah, I’m not that convinced that the new skill trees are any better or that they fixed the gearing/level scaling experience. Will definitely give 2.0 a try but might as well wait for a big discount with PL, after all it’s not like they are going to work on the game afterwards anyway. The team will be moved to witcher 4 and cyberpunk 2077 is being developed by a new US studio, IIRC.

For people who played BG3 in couch co-op already, what was the experience like exactly? Was it annoying to be linked to the same camera / environment compared to usual online coop where every player has their own controls I imagine? Is there a lot of downtime while someone is managing their character/inventory? Also, would you recommend it for the first playthrough?

I’m waiting for the dust to settle (and to have some more free time) but I am curious about trying it down the line, possibly over steam remote play.

Actually from what I remember from a reddit thread a while back, someone did the math and rowing against wind seems to be faster on average in valheim in any case except if you’re in the storm or sth like that. It feels slower cuz its a boring slow line but it ends up being faster

Linux Mint is also good, but it does feel a little outdated.

Just aesthetics or do you mean from the technical side?

The thing is, when reddit does it there are millions of users ready to make noise about it and investigate what is happening, as we’re seeing right now. Even some large media outlets are getting in on the story.

If an adminstrator of some small instance starts abusing his power, like… what are you gonna do but take it or leave? Nobody else is going to care.

So I dunno, I’m conflicted. I feel despite everything it’s harder to abuse power that much on reddit because it is kinda obvious with so many eyes on you, but then again - I prefer that power being split around so you can just leave elsewhere if you don’t like it.

Lets not create artificial animosity between communities just because the admins of one instance have been understandably overwhelmed by a huge influx of new users. That community existed before the reddit exodus so it is understandable that their primary goal is not growth regardless of the cost. Not to mention they are completely right about lack of proper moderation tools.
