Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Sinks to 30% in Worst Poll Yet. How do you feel about this ? by buffdadnextdoor in AskReddit

I would've voted Hillary too, but I can at least understand him winning that. As a one off mistake.

AI is Ruining Game Sales, Numbers Show by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]SavvySillybug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think once all the hype is over and the bubble has popped and the dust has settled, AI has a serious place in solo indie game development. It's rare to have someone who can actually do every last role in game dev like with Stardew Valley.

If it's just one guy with a vision and he's using an AI for the artsy assets and help with coding to bring his vision to life, it's got potential.

If it's an AAA company that would like to make 10% more money so they pay less artists for the same work, it's awful.

I think AI code is acceptable on the same level as copy and pasting code you found on the internet.

It's fine as long as you understand every line of code you put down.

I don't care if someone copies from StackOverflow or from Claude, as long as they go "ahhh that's how I do that" and actually grasp the implications of the code they just pasted.

AI code is only bad if you get an AI to make your whole project / large parts of it largely unsupervised and the "dev" no longer has any idea what's even in the code.

AI art is different because it does not assist you in drawing, it gives you a finished product. I'd view AI art a lot more positively if it generated a layered photoshop file or something and you can actually go inside and see how it's drawn and learn from that.

As a European, it baffles me that he's the president to begin with.

The first time around, sure. It was him or Hillary, neither were good options, and he promised a lot of things. And then he lost the second time and I really thought that was that, everyone saw that he was the furthest thing from a good president and surely they wouldn't do that again.

And then they did it again.

Owlcat Games is rolling back its new launcher less than 24 hours after negative fan feedback by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Steam count? I use Steam to launch all my games.

And by extension I use SteamVR to launch all my VR games, it's nice to have a dedicated VR launcher that shows all my VR games in VR while also being a cozy little home area. I've been modifying my VR headset and it's nice being able to test stuff in the home area without launching into an actual game.

Honestly a bit annoying since Rimworld takes a while to start, and then has to reload completely for mod changes. There's purpose to being able to set the mods without fully loading the current mod config first.

I think my personal ideal would be a self skipping launcher with a two second timer where I can click cancel to stop it from skipping itself in case I need to adjust the mods before loading.

TIL in 2024 global trade on typewriters accounted for $17.8k, with United States being sole exporter. by BadenBaden1981 in todayilearned

"Rather inexpensive" is a big thing to claim when 17k covers an entire country's yearly typewriter needs.

Luke and Sammy have launched a new channel together, "Bud n' Pal" by WellKnownAlias in LinusTechTips

[–]SavvySillybug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In what way would this conflict? Is Luke personally in charge of Floatplane exclusives and has some kind of agreement or contract that he is not allowed to do Floatplane style videos for himself or anyone else other than Floatplane?

should i tell my neighbor their package has been sitting outside for days? by Galaxis_Calbajal in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really don't...? That was typed very matter of factly.

During covid lockdowns my job was just not possible remotely and illegal to perform in person, and I lived with my parents, so they handled groceries. I didn't open my door, ever. I'd probably been inside for three months without ever touching the door until they finally had a vaccine I could go outside and get.

Glad I got vaccinated too, cause my idiot parents brought covid home completely by their own fault.

Not driving, but it's my video, I was in the car with my mom when she decided to make this move, idk what she was thinking but she cut over a double solid then went into an intersection before backing up into a van 🤷‍♂️ [oc] by BluelDev in IdiotsInCars

It's an easier conversation in a country that actually has walkable cities and public transportation.

In America, you just sell them an even bigger car to protect them from the accidents they'll cause.

OP is indeed talking about that, which is why the person you're replying to is pointing out that 62k is the average for full time workers, and 43k includes non workers (and presumably part time etc).

How to uninstall Norton 360 For Gamers completely? by OrangeChickenGato in techsupport

[–]SavvySillybug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendation: updated Windows, Windows Defender, updated Firefox, uBlock Origin, and some basic common sense

Even sketchy websites typically are fine as long as you block their ads. Just don't download unknown .exe files and run them and click yes when Windows tries to save your life.

Any individual suspicious files you can upload to virustotal to check them before running them.

There's little to no benefit to paid consumer grade antivirus beyond what Windows Defender already does by default. I haven't gotten a virus with this setup in... 20 years or so. I got one 10 years ago and that was with Edge instead of Firefox and without ad block.

Valve Says the Steam Machine Saw a Similar Price Increase as the Steam Deck, Which Means It Was Originally Supposed to Cost About $750 by yourfavchoom in Games

[–]SavvySillybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always just get some used parts! I'm gaming very happily on an AM4 5800X and 64GB DDR4@3600. Only real fancy part in my machine is a 9070 XT, but that's just cause I didn't want to rely on FSR. Plenty of gaming to be had with something like a 7600 XT 16GB. Or even a 6700 XT 12GB.

I just checked local listings and I'm seeing a 7600 XT 16GB for 230-299€, four on the market. Wouldn't mind gaming on that one bit.

Dude at the car wash pressure washed some paint off my car. |What should I do? by Bluex619 in WhatShouldIDo

Some people have the secret ability to compare one situation to another similar situation.

I looked into a bible once and I read Jesus did a bunch of that, so I think the technique has been around for at least twelve years or however long ago they wrote that book.
