That’s the thing with the fediverse. You end up getting instances where certain beliefs are held more strongly. The solution is to go somewhere where those instances are just straight up defederated (or ask your instance admin to do something). This does result in the instances who remain federated seeing less push-back against extremist views.

On the fediverse you’re more in control of what you’re able to see through your choice of instance, which affects the “all” view, and which comments show up on posts, obviously defederated instances’ comments won’t be there; who you follow or what communities you subscribe to, and your block lists.

If your instance chose not to do anything about tankie instances (or individual tankie accounts), then that’s on your instance and its admins, not Lemmy as a whole.

I understand Steam not wanting to moderate the absolute flood of user-created content of its thousands of games (on their own), but then, it probably shouldn’t force community forums on every single one of its games when the developers can’t or don’t want to moderate them.

(Also, the ADL doesn’t recognize the ongoing genocide of Palestinians so maybe we should just ignore what they think.)

Then you should also override Equals(object), GetHashCode, and implement IEquatable<T>.

Thankfully a lot of the usual boilerplate code can be avoided using a record class or struct:

public record Person(string Name, uint Age);

I was editing my comment as you were responding. Check the issue on GitHub I linked in the edit, and maybe thumbs it up for visibility. One of the commenters mentions using a third-party tool but I’m not sure the one they linked to can grab posts. In theory another one might exist to dump your post data.

Which service? Mastodon has a built-in export functionality in preferences.

I can’t find such an option on Lemmy, but you should be able to do a GDPR request for your information as a last resort.

edit: Non-post data / user settings can be exported (and imported!) but posts are a separate issue. See this open issue.

Real classy of you to do the toddler thing of sticking your fingers in your ear and going “la la la I can’t hear you”. (It’ll be an honor to share a spot on your block list with these other two fellas.)

Whenever you post something publicly on the internet, it’s best to assume that you may not be able to delete it. Scrapers, search engines, caches, people taking screenshots, … This is of course especially true with the fediverse, where posts are duplicated across servers. (Typically deletion requests are honored, but they might not, or they don’t go through because of an issue, and even then the previously listed issues are still present.)

However, this is only regarding information that’s either public or shared through the protocol, which doesn’t include your IP address or the email address used to register. These are only available to the server your account is on and the client you connect with, if you’re using an app. This information is I believe what OP was asking about, not the posts themselves.

(Without a proxy / VPN (comes with its own up- and downsides) your internet provider can also check some of your internet traffic, such as who you’re connecting to, though typically not what data is being exchanged, due to encryption, like HTTPS.)

Is this not what the “active” sorting does?

The idea is that “roguelike” = a game like Rogue, which according to some people, requires checking most if not all of the boxes including ASCII, proc-gen, perma-death, turn-based, … while the term “rougelite” is less strict. But I think we’re past the point of that distinction being adopted into mainstream.

This is the source for Godot’s documentation. You could clone the repo (in reST format) or download one of the releases (in HTML format) offline, so you wouldn’t even need to query anything online.

Scream printing.

The lenses don’t have to both be at the same distance to be fair.

Taming animals so you can ride them, or let them pull carriages? Building roads for vehicles? Train tracks with functional trains? Cool airships? All made obsolete with this one-kills-all glider feature! Don’t let good game design get in the way of convenience! /s

A lot of contributors of FOSS projects make small changes that aren’t copyrightable.

The real question is not what the algorithm pushes to you, but whether their moderation actually bans bigots and removes their posts. Any other instance would lose their “right” to federate with a queer-friendly instance if they didn’t do that, so why would Threads get an exception?

Isn’t “queer friendly” and “federates with Threads” an oxymoron?

ECS already makes it a hundred times easier for me to conceptualize game mechanics, modify and extend them. Giving AI the ability the ability to create data separate from systems that use them will make it much easier for it to build a game. I don’t believe for a second it will be able to write functioning object-oriented game code for example. It will likely be best if it avoided coding via a text-based language altogether, and use visual scripting or another system based on chaining logic blocks together. But that still counts as the “system” part of ECS.

There is a possibility something like this will be possible in the future, but it’s not going to be an achievement of AI, it’s largely going to be the achievement of regular developers creating a general-purpose game engine that can be used to put together a game block by block, which can be utilized by both human game designers and AI. (Likely to better effect by the former.) I can imagine Entity Component Systems will play a big part of that.

One of the biggest blockers for AI making games is going to be testing it to select for better performance. With text it’s relatively easy to see if some text an AI produced is plausible. Images are also plentiful, but that’s a lot more subjective. With both of these it would also not take a massive amount of time to add a human element. It’s quick to check if a paragraph or image looks like it is a good response to the input promt. A game, however? How long do you need to play it to see if it’s fun? At best, perhaps, you can write an AI to control a bot character to see if it’s technically playable.

I don’t want to even think about the electricity that wlll be wasted training such models.

Indeed, it’s a neat way to visualize gravity, but that’s it. It lacks any sort of explanation of why masses appear to be pulled towards one another. (I will point to the other person in this thread saying it “explains gravity with gravity”.) This is why I think the metaphor you mentioned detracts from the original video.
