I’ll save you a click. that article asks 3 basic questions : is it dangerous, how to tell something is AI and is it bad for the environment.

They get only non-answers. Thanks, BBC.

mbin right? That could explain the difference. Lemmy was made to look and feel more like reddit.

You can see how many upvotes and downvotes a comment has, and this one shows at 0 upvote, despite the fact you should automatically give yourself an upvote when you post. It’s possible to remove your self-upvote, if you want to for some reason.

Though I think some instances hide downvotes in UI, so maybe you can only see the total? not sure.

Yeah, part of the usual “it’s not bad, you’re using it wrong” arsenal. Definitely not the clever hack they think it is.

This probably has as much potential to create new errors as to find old ones. LLMs are trained to be “helpful”, if you tell it with total confidence something is wrong, it will answer like there is something to correct, and anything will do.

So even if it had something about right to begin with, now it will thank you for your “insightful” question and output some bullshit to please you.

My modlist is a mess, but I’ll try to list the ones I can think of right now.

The ones that really make VR worthwhile are VRIK (the body + holsters mod), HIGGS and PLANCK (body physics), Spell Wheel (gives you 2 hand-controlled radial menus, quick access to not just spells but really any power/item you want to put there). Weapon Throw VR is exactly what it sounds like and VR arsenal adds more stuff to yeet, very fun. Interactive Activators VR lets you manipulate levers/pull chains/etc physically too. In general everything made/maintained by Shizof is worth looking at.

Graphics mods are mostly a matter of preference, but for starters I use the Cathedral collection for plant replacers, and the static mesh improvement mod (SMIM).

For bodies I use oBody NG, that lets you configure different body frames depending on race and other stuff (with possible randomness on an NPC basis). Not sure I would recommend oBody though unless you want to spend a lot of time messing with stuff, because it requires Racemenu, and attempts to port it to VR still have a ton of issues. It can work, but it’s not easy.

I’ve tried several lighting mods, ended up on lux customised to be quite brighter, it’s a bit better than vanilla bit nothing I tried was a perfect fit. I suspect my headset doesn’t allow quite enough contrast for dark scenes to look good. I tried community shaders but never could get them to work. Broken shaders in VR tend to hurt the eyes a lot.

Lots of standard Skyrim SE mods work, but you’d better find some that are fully voiced, because though there is a VR version of Fuz Ro D-oh (the “subtitles on non-voiced dialogue” mod), it has the IMO major issue of forcing subtitles all the time, not just for missing voices. It’s very distracting in VR.

A mod like 3DNPC for example works very well.

People always talk about pineapple on pizza (I don’t approve either), but I think cheese in sushi is even worse. It just ruins it.

Shredded tuna too. I love fish sushi, but I’d take a veggie one over a roll filled with cooked, shredded tuna. It doesn’t work.

Base Skyrim VR feels like another quick and dirty “it just works” job from Bethesda, and is not that amazing.

Modded Skyrim VR though is pretty great. With some mods, instead of just being a floating weapon, you get a body that can physically interact with stuff, you can take weapons from holsters, have other move-based real-time shortcuts that greatly reduce your need to go through menus, you can throw your weapons, etc.

And some level of graphical update definitely helps too, especially plant replacers IMO. The very basic Bethesda models look terrible when they’re literally in your face.

Regarding motion sickness, I personally don’t feel any even in smooth movement and after long sessions, but that might not be for everyone. Like many open VR games there is a teleport movement style where you can just skip to a target. Skyrim is kind of a slow game, though, so even smooth doesn’t feel terrible. Probably best keeping fixed-angle rotation though.

Combien de fois ils ont ressorti Skyrim? Et malgré ça, même les quêtes secondaires les plus simples ont toujours les bugs de 2011 avec des dialogues qui ne correspondent pas aux rares choix que tu fais et des NPCs perdus dans le script.

I may have been on lemmy for a while, but I only got seriously into linux for like 2 months. Part because I am fed up with the AI/advertising bullshit in recent Windows, part because of end of support for my hardware. So, that definitely happens.

My previous personal desktop linux attempts were like early 00s and didn’t last long so I don’t think I’m officially part of the cult yet. I work with linux, I tinkered a bit with RasPi debians, but it’s the first time I am really considering it for my all purpose PC.

I still have a PC on W11. I am not in a hurry to convert it, because there is still stuff stucked on windows that I don’t expect will be easy to replace. Like Virtual Desktop.

I think I’m too sober for this shit.

One of my 2 PCs already switched to linux because of mandatory TPM 2.0 for windows.

It’s like they want us to leave their ecosystem. Requiring hardware changes in the middle of a major component crisis, one that they are in no small part responsible for, is certainly a choice.

I get stuff on Gog sometimes. They do some things right (no need for a client, no DRM stance, good compatibility support, chasing down lost rights for old games).

But unfortunately they can never get more than scraps from the big publishers because those will never agree to release their newer games without DRM.

And let’s be clear, I wouldn’t want them to go back on this, but that will make it hard for them to compete.

Interestingly, at the beginning everything on Humble was offering DRM-free options too. And then after a while they gave us some bullshit about their policy not being “DRM-free” but “DRM-agnostic”, which means, publisher can choose whether to use no DRM, or DRMs. Such a strong policy, thank you Humble.

The only games I pirate are those that either :

_ are completely abandoned by their publishers and literally unavailable through other means

_ are stuff I already bought long ago and this is the most convenient way to get them to run (I have occasionally bought games again if it was cheap and convenient)

_ have turned to such shitty business models I don’t want to give a cent to the publishers (and I almost don’t even do that one anymore since usually they’ve found a dozen more ways to turn the game to shit anyway).

So yeah. Totally agree with the service problem.

I don’t get it.

Why do they do that? Even if the goal was to hide the source of original content à la shitty content farm site, what is there to gain doing that on lemmy?

Or is that just that they get all their stuff from shitty content farms and have been trained to not give a shit about where stuff actually comes from?

No actual date, but they said recently it was scheduled for “spring”.

I am a backer and they haven’t started surveying for platforms yet, in any case.

Don’t forget to tell it you only want correct answers. Eleven times in ALL CAPS is the charm.

I am ready to believe those that allowed this law to pass were.

Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn’t part of the exchange, twice. And then messed up the “@” when they pointed that to it.

If it’s even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn’t allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.

Ce sont des vieux jeux

J’ai une machine relativement récemment passée sous linux (genre, ça fait un mois et c’est mon premier linux vraiment juste pour le jeu).

La semaine dernière j’ai réinstallé Creatures 3. 1999, un jeu qui a toujours été un bordel infini de bugs et de compatibilité pendant 20 ans. J’ai la version de Gog, et même si en général ils se démerdent pas mal pour la compatibilité, dans ce cas, ça restait catastrophique. J’avais renoncé à le faire tourner sous windows.

Ben ça marche. Le même programme exécuté par proton sous linux est plus stable que sous n’importe quel windows après XP.

The great thing about asking gen AI to look for problems, is that it’s so helpful it will create new ones for you.

Like arguing for hours that if you were to remove safeguards from your code, it would become unsafe.
