If another service such as Matrix can built similar screen sharing into their applications then I’d be able to convince my friends to make the shift. As it stands there isn’t really a 1:1 equivalent.

What is the world coming to when we can’t even trust spyware 😞

I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you! Well, maybe not that shocked.

I was wondering who the hell this Grok person was. I was thinking about what an unfortunate name for a person! No surprise that it’s actually a product and [probably] directly named by an immature billionaire edgelord.

To be clear, I know he didn’t invent the name. But if someone’s parents named them ‘Grok’ I’d understand if they went for a name change.

She peers into the Denuvo Eye of Terror for the good of us all.

Looks like an interesting game. Definitely added it to my Wishlist so I don’t forget that title!

Unfortunately, yes. iPhones will check passively and Android phones can get an app but you have to check actively. Hopefully Apple and Google work on a solution for active detection on Android devices.

Not that I’m aware of, for the reasons you mentioned. I believe you can now share AirTag locations with family members and that’ll count towards ‘checking in’ and not beep but nothing for sharing with someone outside of family members.

…placing at least seven AirTags on his ex-wife’s car to surveil her.

Assuming the tags weren’t checking in with an owning device (iPhone) that car would’ve been beeping up a storm.

I recently lent a set of work keys to a colleague that I forgot had an AirTag on them, in their words: “fucking things beeped all weekend and my phone kept telling me I’m being followed!”

How did he calculate the 70% chance?

Maybe they asked ChatGPT?

I’ve seen so many products advertised by how many “songs” or “movies” it can hold. Never mind you can encode the same movie to be massive or small. So I think we’ve found the right answer!

Factorio. I love the gameplay but none of my friends play it so I normally play other games with them and come back to Factorio every now and then.

Bring in Universal Basic Income. Introduce emotion tracking as job KPI. Fire me because I don’t emote per LLM datasets. Live comfortably unemployed.

Best dystopian outcome. A guy can dream, right?

Just buy your mum an iPhone. Problem solved. /s

Yeah, I don’t know who’s thinking Yhatzee is only doing positive reviews. I watch him regularly but I always keep in mind that it could be a 10/10 game that everyone loves and his show is predominantly about shitting on games so he’ll tear it to shreds for entertainment.

Is… more cowbell?

Turns out they used existing pilot information to train the AI so it’ll still bomb a supermarket and make a “fire sale” joke.

P.s. I also didn’t read the article.

and I didn’t need to buy horse armour with real money.

Skyrim came out in 2011.

I think they know…

Aussie chiming in 50/20mbps for $90/m. I wanted 50mbps upload but it would have bumped the cost to $130/m.

Easily one of my favourite PvP games because of the species dynamics and the lobby options. Used to play it at LAN parties now and then, up to maybe 8 players. Once you had enough players it was great to have 1 Predator vs 2-3 aliens and the rest humans. Species were selected at random so sometimes you’d get a derpy predator or a one hunter killing machine. It always lead to interesting games that sort of naturally lead inadvertently to roleplay scenarios like the humans keeping an eye on vents and banding together.

Oh and alien life cycle was always on for more challenge to the alien players. Trying to find a facehugger victim in and trying not to get blasted straight out of the chest as a chestburster to become the ultimate killing machine.

Easily one of my top PvP games.

We need to find out which system has the most bugs and then play solely on that system for the true Bethesda experience.

It’s Twitter but for thrash metal bands.

I was watching The Spiffing Brit’s exploit video of Spore. It definitely made me wish for a modern Spore game. To be clear, the visuals don’t need to be much better just better lighting and it’d look modern enough. If they overhauled the gameplay systems then it could be a 10/10 game.

I hadn’t heard of Memories before. I’ve just set up an Immich server and I’m not super impressed with it, if I can shut that down and use my pre-existing Nextcloud server instead that’d be great!

What’s the development pace been like for Memories?

I hear “crack.pipe” as a great name according to some self hosted users. /s

Emulator compatibility would be great too. It’d be great to bring Steam like features to a platform that works with N64/PS2/Xbox games.

Would be kind of funny to skew Google results for crackpipe towards a game platform though.

I played through most of Horizon: Zero Dawn before I realised it even had fast travel. It was that moment that I realised I’d been enjoying traversing through the game world even if it meant everything took a lot more time. Since then I’ve used fast travel less in games.

Also see: taking so long between games that a save breaking update is released that ruins your 30hr save game. At that point just closing the game and browsing Lemmy instead.

“capitalism breeds escalation, which can sometimes cause innovation, but always breaks down into masturbation.”

Done.
