  • Whcih makes sense when explained, but it seems like few hear that kind of comparison.

    And then you bring up defederation and/or how instances can die at any time and you lose them again...

    At least that's how it usually goes for me and trying to advertise Lemmy. Not really a fan of "microblogging" to begin with no matter the platform.

  • I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all?
  • People who claim "guys" is gender neutral would most often only count men when asked the question "How many guys did you sleep with in your life?"

    Until I find a single person who immediately thinks of people of any gender at that question, I will not fall for the internalized misogyny of "'guys' is gender neutral" meme. (Same with "dudes" and all the other ones I've seen over the years. I've even seen someone say "bro" is gender neutral.)

  • Trends in Mobile Gaming for Android in 2024: How the Market is Evolving
  • For sure, that's why my main accusation is them directing traffic to their bad article (could even be an attempt at getting search engines to associate their article with "android games 2024") and not the AI stuff. I just started with the AI accusation because it was funny to me when OP and you already talked about AI (in games).

    AI or not, the post is poorly written and has little to no informative content.

    I do agree with you though, some people through around AI accusations way too quickly. Especially when they spot mistakes. LLMs are very good at NOT making grammatical or syntactical mistakes in English. If anything, those mistakes are often a sign of authenticity.

  • Trends in Mobile Gaming for Android in 2024: How the Market is Evolving
  • What games use AI to enrich the user experience? Highly doubting that one.

    Even more so, I highly suspect OP is written with anything but AI. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that they wrote it by hand, it's very suspicious that their article on mobile games in 2024 has a url that states they're about 2021 and mentions mostly games from back then. Using the Wayback Machine (I would never give them a click) reveals that it's (mostly) the same article over all those years with the year in the title updated and some layout changes to fit the layout of the website.

    While I cannot say with near certainty that OP is written by AI, I do feel confident saying that this post exists solely to direct traffic to that shitty article.

  • I'm not sure how fucked up their prompt is (or how unlucky they were). I just did 3 tries and every time it used modulo.

    I'm assuming they asked it specifically to either not use modulo or to do a suboptimal way to make this joke.

  • [News] 'Sousou no Frieren' Gets Second Season
  • it was almost guaranteed we would get a sequel but it’s still nice to have an official confirmation now!

    I'm just relieved to see マッドハウス (madhouse) on there. I was mildly worried they'd give it the OPM treatment.

  • Putin regime will collapse without warning, says freed gulag dissident
  • Don't wanna be pedantic (yes I do) but after a little bit of searching, the originally presented quote seems correct (without the "and" though, it seems). Your version is mixed with a common misquote "Slowly at first, then all at once." of that quote.

  • Looking for the name of an upcoming? MMO?

    About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

    I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

    I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

    I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

    I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.

  • Tangentially reminds me of Richard Feynman's Cataclysm Sentence.

    If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?

  • Sus
  • Sure. You have to solve it from inside out:

    • not()....See comment below for this one, I was tricked is a base function that negates what's inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns "True" (because no parameter counts as False)
    • str(x) turns x into a string, in this case it turns the boolean True into the text string 'True'
    • min(x) returns the minimal element of an iterable. In this case the character 'T' because capital letters come before non-capital letters, otherwise it would return 'e' (I'm not entirely sure if it uses unicode, ascii or something else to compare characters, but usually capitals have a lower value than non-capitals and otherwise in alphabetical order ascending)
    • ord(x) returns the unicode number of x, in this case turning 'T' into the integer 84
    • range(x) creates an iterable from 0 to x (non-inclusive), in this case you can think of it as the list [0, 1, 2, ....82, 83] (it's technically an object of type range but details...)
    • sum(x) sums up all elements of a list, summing all numbers between 0 and 84 (non-inclusive) is 3486
    • chr(x) is the inverse of ord(x) and returns the character at position x, which, you guessed it, is 'ඞ' at position 3486.

    The huge coincidental part is that ඞ lies at a position that can be reached by a cumulative sum of integers between 0 and a given integer. From there on it's only a question of finding a way to feed that integer into chr(sum(range(x)))

  • Steam Families is here - Steam News
  • From experience with the beta and memory, your wife (and you) will be able to choose which version to play. Either yours with a ton of DLC or hers with none. You should both be able to use the version with all DLC, but not at the same time.

    It's been a while since we tested this though so things might have changed, including my memory...

  • after leaving can’t join another for a year

    Can you fix this? There was enough misinformation floating around about this already when this feature went into beta.

    Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.

    it should say something like: "After joining, can't join another for a year"
