Keep in mind that this is much more powerful hardware than what previous games were running on.

And it looks a little bit more graphically impressive than previous instalments?

Definitely, but anything else would have been very disappointing. They have much more hardware power at their disposal compared to Switch 1 after all. I don’t know if I’d say that these are impressive graphics by Switch 2 standards, but they’re finally at a point where they look nice, which is ultimatey all that matters.

I honestly don’t remember the exact car model or even the manufacturer but it was nothing fancy. Some smallish car with manual transmission and no parking sensors or cameras. There weren’t any others to choose from. This was in 2012.

Why would someone “less smart” not deserve success?

That will vary by country. In Germany, people can get a “Pflegegrad”, which basically defines how much assistance someone needs. Depending on that, they may be assigned a caregiver, paid for by the state. If other relatives decide to take them in, they’ll also get some money and assistance for that.

It’s not that I’ve never tried it, I’ve dabbled in it consistently over the last few years. If you had said there was a major difference compared to 2 years or maybe even a year ago, sure. In the last 4 months, I guess we’ve gotten stuff like Claude 4.6, which saw an increase in coding performance by 2.5% according to SWE benchmarks. An improvement, sure, but certainly not an exponential one and not one which will fix the fundamental weaknesses of AI coding. Maybe I’m out of the loop though, so I’m curious, what are those exponential improvements you’ve seen over the last 4 months? Any concrete models or tools?

But in those 4 months AIs evolved a lot

Has it really? I don’t feel like it’s much different for programming compared to 4 months ago.

Who would create a bot for this purpose and then also give personal details in the instructions / memory or access to photos?

It would be 2 different people: One person instructing their bot to ask other bots for private data and another person using their bot for whatever purpose who was stupid enough to give it full access to their data. AI bros are often pretty incompetent when it comes to IT security especially, so I think it isn’t such an unlikely scenario.

This is the most recent PC release, which also released on Steam today. Adds a couple features, but also seems to have some technical issues. It’s free for owners of the previous release from 2013 though, so that’s something.

It can be used to manipulate the sorting order of posts and it can also be used for targeted harassment of users.

As someone who was banned after downvoting anywhere from 1-3 comments from a mod before, I’d take these claims that it’s a huge problem with a grain of salt though. Some people, including mods, just take downvotes very personally.

I haven’t been there. I don’t think they offer any dishes without meat, at least at their locations in Japan.

Favourite: Coco Ichibanya. Lifesaver in Japan for me, as they offer vegan curries and exist in smaller cities where other options for food I can eat are scarce. Also, very tasty.

Least favourite: Mc D’s I guess. Only went there once in the last decade. Food was crappy and overpriced. Annoying ordering system as well.

Videos for entertainment are pretty much a big screen (tablet or preferably larger) only thing for me. But when for example I’m in my bike workshop and want to watch some bike maintenance video, I’ll watch that on my phone.

I don’t think so. That would be a hard thing to enforce and rather pointless. Comparing it to other internet regulations like the GDPR, it’s not illegal to use a website that doesn’t adhere to it. That said, with the amount of stupidity we tend to see in politics, who knows what some countries might do.

It might happen for some instances, but I think if some countries start requiring fediverse instances to do this, most users will switch to instances hosted in countries that don’t require it.

I guess you could close the threads after the day is over. For me personally, it wouldn’t matter either way, as I never use the active/top feeds to browse. They don’t seem too useful on a “small” platform like Lemmy, where they’ll remain static for quite a long time.

Maybe you could have one day a week where it’s allowed? The constant barrage of US politics can be exhausting, but there can definitely be some interesting questions about it.

Yeah tbh. If you’re suggesting that entertainment or videogames are inherently a waste, I disagree.

That was actually a great invention, considering it replaced the unlimited hour work week (60-96 hours being normal in Victorian times). I agree that we should go further though.
