I played HL2 in VR and the original (but upscaled) textures still looked good.
It would be great to play the RTX version in VR as well because it adds so much to the atmosphere. Baked in lighting is only good up to a point.
I accumulate lots of knowledge to counteract my lack of self-confidence.

“Forbidden knowledge” my ass. You can just Google these things.
Has the site really changed that much since the Muskification, or are people just exposed to more negative stuff because the Elon hate-bandwagon is amplifying everything?
I don’t use twitter at all, so I have no frame of reference.
Really? Because as far as I know it’s a pyramid scheme.
Bold of you to assume they even went to business school.
All the big wigs I’ve met were “self-made millionaires” -meaning assholes that used, manipulated and fucked over enough people to reach their current positions.
Also, tax evasion.
It’s infuriatingly stupid. It makes me read the same sentence 2-3 times before I understand what they’re trying to say.
We have a well established and clear distinction between ‘streaming service’ and ‘streamer’, why fuck with it?
What’s more, it’s double stupid because now both ‘streamer’ and ‘streaming service’ means “a company” AND we don’t have a word for individuals streaming on the web.
Photoshop has been around for over quarter of a century but you don’t need a forensic team to tell something has been photoshopped.
Tools to detect image (and video) modifications have been around and will continue to be developed alongside these technologies. We’re simply entering a new era of media creation.
When Photoshop became mainstream, people said the exact same thing, but somehow the world didn’t end up on its head.
The entire story surrounding this discovery is a scientific rollercoaster ride, with rogue scientists, updated papers, plus cloudy definitions and process descriptions within the paper that make replication efforts more difficult, and even a Russian soil scientist (and anime catgirl) deconstructing the original Korean paper to unveil the trademark levitation of the Meissner effect over her own kitchen counter.
I can’t believe they just dropped all this without any explanation. XD
People still don’t understand that AI is an all encompassing term like “tool” and not a single thing.
Just like we use thousands of vastly different and specialized tools, in a decade we’ll be surrounded by medical AI, engineering AI, accounting AI, design AI, research AI, life coaching AI, etc.
Right now we have a few LLMs and generative AIs, but that’s like having a pen and a spray gun.
Of course you wouldn’t ask any of them for a medical diagnosis.
The good news is that we are on the verge of building something that we own on Lemmy, where corporations won’t be able to fuck with us as much.
Yeah, about that…
Let’s see what happens when Meta decides to federate Threads with the rest of us.
I really hope you’re right because I love this place right now. It’s much smaller than other platforms but there’s enough content for hours of browsing and the community is leagues above the rest of the internet in terms of quality of discourse.
Outside of the fedi, I don’t remember the last time I saw opposing views coexist in the same thread without one being brigaded.
Just last week someone retorted to me with “I’ve been using the official app for 2 years and I’m happy”.
I’m still not sure whether I was talking to an AI…
This makes me wonder whether decentralized social media is actually immune to enshittification, or will it just take a different form we can’t even imagine at this moment in time.
Pretty much this.
I was asked to help mod a new community, and things were going pretty well for a year or so, but then the sub owner and the other mods gradually disappeared until it was just me and another guy left.
Well, turns out they were moderating/owning 30+ subs on average. We both quit that day.
I just can’t understand what kind of ego boost they get out of being useless cunts in 30 places. How can such little power be so tantalizing to some people?
