MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish17·5 days agoYeah this screams “Let’s use AI for the sake of using AI”. If they wanted simpler summaries on complex topics they could just start an initiative to have them added by editors instead of using a wasteful, inaccurate hype machine

Amazing how all these billionaire apocalypse preppers think there’s gonna be a catastrophe and not only do nothing with their massive wealth to try and prevent it, but they’re actively making it worse
The only real source we have is the union, as TCGPlayer/eBay are not going to talk about it.
Their Bluesky account currently has the same info, but maybe more will come out
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with adsEnglish13·19 days agoOh it’s undoubtedly going to fail, but it should milk enough money out of their users to keep them going while their investors cash out
Historically baseball was more popular but nowadays it’s far behind American football. Basketball and soccer are more popular than baseball among younger people as well. Though this really only ranks Americans one favorite sport to watch, not sure how it splits up if all sports they watch or play are included
The card art for this one was only used for serialized Elesh Norns so the number is just whichever one Scryfall managed to get scanned
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Florida becomes 2nd state to ban fluoride from public drinking water8·1 month agoExcept it seems like every time a major area ceases water fluoridation the caries immediately increases compared to nearby areas. Until we see some hard benefits from removing fluoride from water that exceeds the benefits of fluoridation there’s no point in giving in to the fearmongering of conspiracy theorists
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto World of JRPG's@lemmy.zip•What JRPGs will you be playing in May? What games did you finish in April?English8·2 months agoDid some more messing around in Cassette Beasts after the update and worked on Neo The World Ends with You after not playing for a while
Though I’ve been seeing a lot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and man does it like good. If I get some more free time this month I definitely want to pick it up
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•My Thoughts on the Fosstodon Drama | Kev QuirkEnglish28·2 months ago- One moderator from fosstodon is not 100% aligned to the prevailing ideology on Fedi.
For clarity’s sake, the views the mod expressed were:
- Calling criticism of Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest and transfer to Louisiana “yellow journalism” for using the phrase “disappeared”
- Defending the striking down of a school privacy policy that requires teachers get consent from LGBTQ+ kids before outing them to their parents
- Removing posts about surveillance of LGBTQ+ people in r/privacy for contradictory or unexplained reasons
- The mob went on to presume that someone that is not 100% aligned to their prevailing ideology is unfit to be considered human - let alone a moderator - so they went after the admins.
Is all criticism now a “mob” just because they don’t want people with anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ views to have the power to censor others?
- The admins claimed to have reviewed said mod actions, didn’t find anything out of the ordinary, but still got rid of them.
From what I saw, the admins actually said that they were fine with keeping him on the moderation team and the mod deleted their own accounts
- Less-principled users of fosstodon are now just leaving the instance, for fear of being associated with them.
Are they? The most I saw was that people were considering leaving because other instances were going to start blocking Fosstodon
What is with the concealing and downplaying of the mod’s views and then exaggerating the “outrage” of the “mob”? Yes the Fediverse can be drama-prone but most of the fanning of the flames seems to be coming from the people complaining about Fedi users genuine criticisms of the mods/admins on Fosstodon
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to remove mod privileges for these kinds of views if you’re trying to run an inclusive space. There’s supported suspicion that they’ve used their mod powers to censor information on minorities already, just because they haven’t done it yet on this platform doesn’t mean you let them lie in wait to do it. Makes me worry that Fosstodon admins don’t see any issues keeping someone like that around
Would this get the same kind of backlash had the mod been kicked out for tankie views?
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldOPto Yu-Gi-Oh!@lemmy.world•The Mystery of Yu-Gi-Oh's Missing Card (Air Neos) has been Solved3·2 months agoIn case you just want a spoiler instead of watching the video, Elemental Hero Air Neos, which Konami had conspicuously avoided reprinting or referencing for years, was found to be at the center of a lawsuit of alleged copyright infringement of an indie comics superhero called Ravedactyl
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experienceEnglish64·2 months agoI’m sure they’re less interested about buying Chrome than they are about buying Chrome’s market share
Wish their voting habits would follow that lead as well
As a Forza Horizon fan my curiosity is piqued. I like being able to shift vibes from an intense race to just cruising around the landscape, and Mario Kart is a very different style of racing so it’d be a very different experience
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldOPto MTG@mtgzone.com•New Music Video from MTG Japan featuring the Wanderer3·3 months agoMTG JP is doing a special summer promotion with The Wanderer and they want to advertise it. Japan is a huge market for CCGs but it’s also very competitive so they get special promotional stuff like this pretty often
Knew I recognized that. This art was used for the Magic card Twinflame Tyrant
MysticKetchup@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us nowEnglish47·3 months agoPeople are reading the headline and assuming they’re talking about older single-purchase games, but the article is actually referring to mostly MTX-driven games that get continuous updates.
And the data further shows, in Newzoo’s own words, that these 908 million “PC players are heavily skewed towards older, live service games.”
Remember that even things like Rocket League are about a decade old at this point, and games like LoL, Dota 2 and CS:GO are even older
