Why Does Bluesky Use an Algorithm If It's Decentralized
  • "Show all posts from newest to oldest" is an algorithm.

    "Shows random 10 posts, unordered" is an algorithm.

    It's not possible to show a list of items without an algorithm. You may of course take issue with what the algorithm is, but you can't not have one.

  • Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you?
  • The process of throwing ideas back and forth usually doesn't include just choosing one, but generating ideas as jumping off points, usually with some existing concept in mind. Talking with friends, looking at other projects, searching for inspiration online and in the real world, and now also generating some more ideas with an LLM to add to the mix. Using one source and just picking a suggestion probably won't get you a good result.

  • And yet virtually all of software has names that took some thought, creativity, and/or have some interesting history. Like the domain name of your Lemmy instance. Or Lemmy.

    And people working on something generally want to be proud of their project and not name it the first thing that comes to mind, but take some time to decide on a name.

  • Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating
  • I'm not saying ignore it, it's a valid reason to not like the game, like any other subjective reason.

    I'm saying calling the game "Pokemon with guns" is dismissive of what the game is. It's like calling Minecraft "Rust with animal husbandry", which completely misses what the game is about.

  • Palworld Developer Reveals The Pokémon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating
  • People say "Pokemon with guns" as if that was some kind of core gameplay. You can play through the game without ever using them. It's a small feature, that absolutely is there, but reducing the game to that is missing the forest for the trees.

    It's an open world crafting base building game to enjoy with co-op, that has catchable creatures like Pokemon. There is no Pokemon game that fits this niche. The guns are not important to what the game is.

  • Anon questions our energy sector
  • Yeah, the environmental issues that are orders of magnitude less problematic than literally pumping the toxic chemicals into the atmosphere like with fossil fuels, vs comparatively miniscule amount of solid waste to store inert.

  • Script to install Brave and Vivaldi variants on Fedora Atomic
  • Fair enough. Yeah, I never thought of open and closed source as two exclusive options, but two of many.

    I myself publish an application which isn't open source, but I publish the source code, as I believe my users have the right to know what runs on their computer, and have the freedom to audit, modify, and compile their own builds if they so wish. But I don't want someone to take and resell my application. I have yet to encounter someone calling my app closed source, but I can see how someone could.
