  • One of my favorite moments like this was a Reddit thread where some account was pretending to be human and arguing with people in favor of the CEO's actions during The Purge. Then one person asked it a question about making some dangerous thing or other, and it starting replying with things like "As an AI model, I cannot explain how to do that." and stuff. It was great.

  • (I may or may not have asked ChatGPT to write that.)

  • I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated. As an AI, my job is to assist and provide you with the information or help you need. Please feel free to let me know how I can better assist you, and I'll do my best to address your concerns.

  • Yup. This is essentially the same as people suddenly screaming about "WHITE PRIDE!!!!" in response to things like Black Live Matter.

    The entire point is a minority not letting the majority shame or otherize them. The the majority freaks out and responses with "ME TO BUT BETTER THAN YOU DID IT!".

    It's pathetic.

  • Not disagreeing, but I think the point is that no single person or company should be in a position of that much power. All it takes is for one thing to go wrong, one law to change, or one financial scare to happen, and BOOM. Suddenly this great monopoly is doing things people hate and there's no alternative.

  • To be fair, a lot of monopolies are great in the beginning. It's the inevitable power-tripping downslide that sucks.

    I still love Steam and Valve though.

  • Pretty simple, actually. Content farms push as much media out as possible to get as much attention and views as they can. This generates ad revenue. Advertisers pay Google for the ads, Google pays content creators.

  • When I had a job making $7.35 an hour at a dollar store and applied for food stamps in NC, I got $16.00 a month.

  • I laughed out loud. Saving that pic.

    But yeah, I didn't realize for the longest time that most people can see things in their minds at will. I never got an official diagnosis, but I tick damn near every box, and literally every person I've mentioned probably being autistic to has said something like "Oh, that makes sense!" I'm actually talking to a professional this weekend to see what she thinks.

    No books though, sorry.

  • 😍

  • Huh, thought I posted this already, but I guess I forgot to.

    I've been on food stamps before. Basically, I said that my parents ranted and complained about "other people" scamming the system and not deserving the welfare, but I did. They also were shocked at how little I actually got each month, because they assumed you were supposed to get a lot more money.

  • Sad to see this fork of SC Controller is now archived. It provides an Appimage version, and also worked with my PS4 controller. Credit to Kozec, the original creator.

    There was also Qjoypad, but I haven't used it in a while.

    Basically, the game is reading the raw controller input as well as the translated virtual controller input. I've run into that a lot before on other games. The fix I found is usually to try another mapper, or to disable the controller in the game and map the controller to keyboard and mouse. It's annoying.

    With luck, you -might- have luck with closing the game and setting up the controller mapper, then start the game. If the mapping program provides an Xinput option, try toggling that and see if it helps.

    Good luck.

    EDIT: Did Kozec stop developing the app? I used to support them on Patreon before I lost my job. There haven't been any official updates in a while. Sad day. :(

  • Well fuck.

  • Legitimately the only reason I still have a Windows 10 ISO and key sitting on my long term storage drive is because I fear that I may have to install it to use VR whenever I get a new kit.

    Please Valve. Pretty please....

    Actually, didn't Facebook buy the lens company Valve was donating to and working with to develop their new VR lens tech? I forgot about that. Another reason to hate Facebook. (I refuse to call it the M word.)

  • ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

  • I haven't used "lol" in a long time, but started to do this earlier today and had to stop myself.

    I feel seen.

  • EDIT: Eh, removed my bad half-joke.
