  • How does trash collection/recycling work where you live, and do you like the system?

    Jump

  • Thrash can and recycling bin. Everything is mixed in the bin so I expect most of it is sent to a third world country or ends up on a landfill anyways.

    Recycling is a lie.

  • The fitgirl unpacker and installer? Tbh I never tried, everyone on the web simply said it didn't work.

  • Proton can handle the game files but not the installer. So you have to install in wine and it's a hassle. I install the games on my windows pc, zip them and then transfer them to my deck.

  • How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun?

    Jump

  • From what I understand, the lights need to flash at certain frequencies. Everything in the other comments still apply, but it wouldn't trigger an episode in everybody.

  • Valve makes almost $50 million per employee, raking in more cash per person than Google, Amazon, or Microsoft — gaming giant's 350 employees on track to generate $17 billion this year

  • If you think Amazon's cut should be lower, you're free to make your own marketplace and compete.

    The market is already captured.

  • The conversation is longer then two comments. It's highly debatable if valve has a monopoly per the FTC definition, not being sued by them isn't the bar. You don't need to have 100% market share. You can have legal monopolies, but that wouldn't make the gross hoarding of wealth (which is the underlining thread) defendable.

    There is no doubt in my mind that they have, in common talk, a soft monopoly at minimum and are colluding and keeping the percentage taken high. If they were actually competing, he wouldn't be able to afford all the boats.

  • There is a difference in the problematic being caused, not the ethics. The soft monopoly they all enjoy together as a group (Valve, Microsoft, etc) is having an effect on the industry. We as consumers get worst quality games in the end, because 30% of profits go directly to a few hosting companies. A lot of indie companies would still be around if the game store club wasn't insanely greedy and artificially keeping such a huge part of the pie.

    If it wasn't the same, Gaben wouldn't own a handful of boats worth a combined 1 000 000 000 $. That is 9 zeros for boats.

  • Valve has lawsuits in the work, although not from the FTC. The fact is Valve is just slightly above the other companies, but it's a very low bar and that doesn't negate their very real effect on the industry.

    I bring up Amazon because your arguments apply to them. If I told you Bezos deserves all his wealth because he has a better platform then his competitors (all three of them) and offers an easy to use website with cheap delivery, you would probably call me a bootlicker.

    All billionaires and their profit making machines are bad, no exceptions imo.

  • Steam Deck LCD 256GB model on sale until December 1st!

    Jump

  • Would it though? If you are using it with a controller, it's probably plugged into the tv, at which point you can just connect controllers to it with Bluetooth.

    The switch style controller is cute but mostly a gimmick imo.

  • Amazon doesn't either. Most of the arguments defending Steam can easily apply to every other "bad" company.

    The only thing that differentiates steam is their marketing budget targeting small forums and Reddit.

  • You could defend Amazon with that logic. the fact that the barrier of entry is high is exactly what let's Steam, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo abuse of their soft monopoly.

    Nothing justifies owning a billion dollars worth of of boats.

  • Can I make a Bluetooth button to skip YouTube ads on the computer?

    Jump

  • I'm planning on getting a Rii Bluetooth controller for the computer on my tv. It seems well thought out, with a keyboard and mousepad on it. It's not a simple few buttons though.

  • Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway

  • https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/there-are-no-girls-on-the-internet

    It seems like it started before 4chan. 4chan probably amplified it and helped spread it though. All the bad things either start there, or it's users violently clutch and hang on to it until it seems like it started there.

    That is were I heard it first though so you are right in calling me out. It's been a while, longer then just a decade ago thankfully, but I spent a bit of my teen years on there. It really feels shameful to admit. Overall, just a gross place.

    Jump

  • That's really ignoring a mountain of history. Up until a decade ago, "there are no girls on the internet" was a common saying.

    I just see it as a way to foster and encourage an under represented segment of the community. It feels completely valid when that segment is still often met with hostility from weirdos.

  • So I'm guessing both of you are mostly sexually inexperienced. It's a big part of a healthy relationship.

    I'll keep it short, look up online how to properly give oral and go down on her every time. It can really make a world of difference and it is only ten minutes of time. The harder parts will come with practice and paying attention to how she reacts and what she like.

    Communications is an important part of the bedroom as well, don't be afraid to ask her what she wants.

    Sorry to be lewd. I'm sure others will cover the emotional aspects better then I could but I was afraid this would be skipped.

  • Nvidia and AMD could kill some low- to mid-range graphics cards as memory shortage crisis intensifies

  • If the bubble pops though, it means the market is going to get flooded.

  • If you care, then I guess you'll just have to keep giving Microsoft your money and data.

    Jump

  • I think the main problem is since the steam machine is relatively open and, if it is sold at a loss, then companies will bulk buy them to replace their infrastructure. A bit like what happened to one of the PlayStation releases.

  • How to differentiate between a AGI and an LLM that has read every book in existence?

  • Link to the paper? Seems interesting and google isn't giving me much.

  • How to differentiate between a AGI and an LLM that has read every book in existence?

    Jump

  • An AGI is just a software that can do anything a human can (more or less). Something that could use blender for example or do proper research.

    Llms can already already understand images and other data formats, they might be a pathway to agi but most think they have too many constraints for it to reach that far.
