What AI slop? There is a surprising lack of spam on Lemmy, if somebody wanted to attack it you’d see a spamwave with hundreds of posts per minute. It happened once when we got spammed by a chinese group but never again.

They released on game pass the same day the game launched everywhere else.

That’s what Microsoft wanted. Me and a friend bought a month of game pass to play through Oblivion and Doom Dark Ages then unsubscribed. I doubt they’re going to keep doing day 1 releases in the long run because this might be hurting their game studios.

This isn’t even them scraping private chats and small servers, they just scraped public servers in the discovery tab. None of that information was ever private, and every user can browse the chat history there.

Does Lemmy even know what EEE means anymore or are we regurgitating words we heard from some article now?

What’s it going to embrace and extend? WSL has existed for ages and is just a way to run Linux in a convenient container on top of Windows. That’s it. It’s not an attempt to “extenguish” Linux, literally just make the development experience on Windows less painful so people don’t switch to another OS. This has nothing to do with EEE.

Open sourcing it with a permissive license can only be a good thing, and again they’re doing it to be more appealing to devs and maybe get free bug fixes from the open source community. It isn’t some grand conspiracy. But of course this community will react to news of “proprietary blob is now open source” with pessimism.

I got hung up on this before too but it’s apparently “Windows Subsystem for (using) Linux”

53% is abysmal, it might as well be a coin flip. FYI this article is about a random one called BrandWell, popular AI detectors like GPTZero are much more accurate.

Discord already allows users on other platforms to hide in-app promotions for specific Quests, or opt out of personalized promotions. These options will also be available for mobile users.

Wonder how long that’s going to be an option… The way every tech company is going I’m fully expecting them to force ads on everyone in the next two years.

New sci-fi horror enemy just dropped

Don’t forget OpenAI constantly saying “We had an AI SO POWERFUL that it can be very dangerous!!! And no you can’t see it yet.”

Still interesting to know just how expensive that thing is and what it takes to run it

TL;DR of the situation is that Unity released a statement 2 days ago saying they want successful developers to pay up to 20 cents every time a user installs a Unity game starting from Jan 1 2024, even if your game was already released. This caused a huge ruckus in the game dev community and many developers want to switch away from Unity.
