An important distinction is that they aren’t military. Government, yes. But SNW recently had an episode establishing that a crew member’s personal log is sealed and it took the crew member’s death and a surrounding investigation to unseal them. The Federation clearly values privacy.
It looks … fine. Snake’s face is still totally motionless like in the original teaser, which I thought was hilarious. But it looks like they’re doing a 1:1 remake like Demon’s Souls, which might be good or bad depending on execution. It could either uplift a classic or reveal how badly the gameplay aged. It has been a long time since I played Snake Eater or Subsistence so I couldn’t say without nostalgia goggles how well it holds up.
I’m convinced that someone high up in Konami’s marketing team thought that delta was the third letter in the Greek alphabet (because triangle = 3) and doubled down when he was corrected. So now they’re insisting they always intended for it to mean “change”.
This is cool. I think generative AI is great, but the way it’s being trained right now largely without consent from the artists or subjects is unequivocally unethical. Until the law catches up with the technology, people need ways of protecting themselves.
Yeah, I don’t think this should be left to the users to block on their own even if it is available in a future update. Defederation exists as an option specifically for instances like lemmygrad. Ever since I joined Lemmy, everything I’ve seen in the main feed from lemmygrad stands out as extremist. Most of the communities I have blocked come from lemmygrad.
The gen 1 art was so good. All of the later designs look very sleek and streamlined, which has its appeal, but I miss when everything was double chonked up like it was a Thursday afternoon.
I like being able to see notifications from my phone on my watch, check the weather, and set alarms, but I mostly just like using it as a watch.
There used to be days when I didn’t put it on, thinking I wouldn’t need or miss it. But the number of times I wanted to quickly check the time or my notifications by turning my wrist but couldn’t was a lot higher than I expected, so now I wear it all the time even if I’m staying at home or near my phone.
On top of what’s already been said about technological literacy and security, I’d like to add that I WANT to support the artists who make things I like but the companies selling their works tend to ruin the experience by trying to squeeze every dime out of you.
For the last decade or so, digital storefronts have provided a pretty good experience, but it’s starting to get a lot worse as the old companies go public and become beholden to shareholders, or as new companies enter the arena and split up what was once available all in one place.
