KDE Plasma 6.7 review: still the best Linux Desktop IMO
Linux fights back on AI slop, More Adobe on Linux, big browser redesigns - Linux Weekly News
oh hey it's that game that had the developer who threw a tantrum because Valve wouldn't let them have their logo be a woman's naked ass and also not have the game be marked as adult
a lot of these have missing genAI disclaimers which means the developer lied to Valve in the content survey and then Valve didn't go "hang on that looks suspicious" at all
Dobra, co na razie ograłem ze Steam AI Slop Fest:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5122390/KILLSEC_Demo/
#Killsec - takie tam Hotline Miami z mieczem, który odbija pociski. Raczej nic szczególnego, patent ciekawy, nie wciągnęło mnie jakoś, ale nie jest złe.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4930800/Drone_Orbit_An_Incremental_Space_Mining_Drift/
#Droneorbit - nie wiem jaki to do końca gatunek, niby gra do idlowanka, ale trzeba sterować stateczkiem pośród asteroidów, które zbieramy. Przeszedłem całe demo, niestety strasznie uzależniające i bardzo dobrze zrobione. Grać na własną odpowiedzialność.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4701660/DRIFTERS_Blackout_Crew/
#driftersblackoutcrew - takie tam Dungeons of Eternity, tylko VR-owe. W sumie polecił mi to sam dev, jak narzekałem na reddicie, że same AI slopy. Przyznaje, że bardziej podoba mi się dev, niż gra - mają przyjemny kanał i dobrze opisują np. procesz portowania ich gier na Frejma. Ale gra bardz poczciwa, zwłaszcza jak się ma kolegów 🫠
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5011020/Rustmourne_Demo/
#rustmourne - klon Dead Space na VR. Niestety w dobie poczciwych modów do normalnych gier wielka bieda, może później zmuszę się pograć więcej.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5307890/Ecstatica_II_Demo/
#ecstatica - uwielbiałem tę grę w przeszłości - podoba mi się i teraz. Po wydarzeniach z jedynki trafiamy z ukochaną do opanowanego przez szatany zamku. Od razu porywają ukochanką, nas łapią i zakuwają w dyby, uciekamy - i zaczyna się typowa gra bez litości dla początkujących polegająca na ucieczce. Perspektywa z pierwszych Alone in the Dark/Residentów, interaktywość z otoczeniem, częste umieranko, walka, świetne animacja - wszystko to oczywiście starożytne drewno, ale bardzo dobrze się bawię.
Na razie tyle - pozdrawiam #giereczkowo i może tagujmy to #tunikogoniemasteamfest26AI gdyby ktoś chciał się bawić w wymianę doświadczeń - a nuż ktoś zabłądzi i przeczyta.
@mpjgregoire for self-labelling, I prefer using precise labels.
Because with overly generalized labels, you imply that doing the right thing means the same for everyone.
I realized around 15 years ago how much this is not the case – and turned the core of this understanding into a roleplaying supplement:

These workers are harvesting carrots piece rate in the Tehachapi region. "Julia" says, "Our group is paid $3.05 per box. There are 24 bunches of 7 carrots in each box. At the end of the day we are paid equal amounts depending on the number of boxes the group produces." #WeFeedYou
Claude just wowed me in a very mundane way. I wanted a custom icon to use in Notion, so I requested that Claude make me a 64×64 PNG”:
“a dark purplish-blue square with slightly rounded corners, and a white capital F inside.”
This it did, and I was 100% satisfied. (See the attached image.)
When I interrogated it about how it did that, it turned out it had written a Python program to draw the icon, using the “Pillow” library.
Here's the part for the program that draws the white "F":
d.rectangle([x0, y0, x0 + t, y1], fill=white) # stem
d.rectangle([x0, y0, x1, y0 + t], fill=white) # top bar
d.rectangle([x0, 29 * S - t // 2 + S, 42 * S, 29 * S + t // 2 + S], fill=white) # middle bar
It didn't use Pillow's text-drawing feature, it built the F out of rectangles. When I asked why, it said:
“I didn’t check whether the sandbox had any fonts installed, and I didn’t want the script to fail on a missing font file. Drawing the F from rectangles has no external dependency, so it works on any machine with Pillow.”
You can't trust anything Claude says about what it was thinking, but this is a really plausible answer, and I believe it is probably correct.
@mjd This does look like better artificial introspection than what's previously been the case.
Removing almost all proprietary software from my Phone and PC: how I'm doing it!

remember, you have to update your computer to shittier and shittier LLM-generated code checked for quality by other LLMs, or you might have an embarrassing security incident!
