The answer is always ‘no’.

Tech@programming.dev•Microsoft's Gaming Copilot watches you game and captures that data for 'model training'English
12·1 day agoWhat could that possibly help AI do? Cheat better? Simulate videogames?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a good FREE music streaming service that isn't run by the devil?English
9·5 days agoThere’s a comm on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively, google FMHY. When I bailed from Spotify, I just used SpotDL to download all my music a playlist at a time. Worked fine, but might be a bit beyond your skill level to set that up.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'm finally going to get to work on downloading all my music and abandoning streaming services. Any tips and/or advice?English
1·7 days agoIt’s really just storage space that’s the limiting factor for me. I’m already uninstall/reinstall juggling a few games as it is so carving a partition to play with Linux hurts.
At some point I’ll grab a third SSD and make half of it a linux partition or something.

Technology@lemmy.world•Full list of areas in the UK targeted in ‘dodgy’ Fire TV stick crackdownEnglish
1·8 days agoUh, really? The English version is pretty convincing that it is- it even lists three different methods they used over the years. The sources seem convincing, but I’m quite literally judging the book by it’s title there.
I haven’t, but I’m very intrigued and will have to give it a shot.

2·10 days agoWell, that seems really neat. No Windows support, though, so I’ll check back in when I eventually finally definitely jump to Linux…

Dad Jokes@lemmy.world•I was asked why I was reading a 900-page novel.English
6·10 days ago900 pages is nice. It’s enough to get me engaged, but not enough to drag.
Oooooh, as someone that loves OSRS but finds it to be a bit too much of a time sink I’m very very intrigued. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I’ve been playing a lot of Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries recently, but Singleplayer Tarkov just released their 4.0 update/overhaul so I’m starting that as well.

4·12 days agoThey’re memes, but they do still have meaning. Being fake-serious about the classifications used to be part of the joke, but that was about three social media platforms and ten years ago for me so maybe that part got lost.

16·12 days agoMy understanding was that all snakes are nope ropes, but only venomous ones are danger noodles. Is it the other way around?

27·12 days agoAll the guesses are either Gopher Snake or Garter Snake, so probably not a danger noodle. Just a nope rope.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite version of FTL in science fiction?English
5·13 days agoEarly versions of Stellaris had something similar, but reduced in scale- it’s a 4X grand strategy where you’re basically controlling a spacefaring species you create, if you’re not familiar with it.
They did away with multiple FTL systems at some point, but early on in the games lifespan when creating your species you’d pick between hyperdrives, wormholes, or warp iirc.
Hyperdrives were basically Star Wars style space travel- predetermined FTL ‘roads’ in space that you can travel along.
Warp was ‘the ship teleports from where it is to where it’s going’.
Wormhole was the most interesting one to me, because it used giant ‘hubs’ you’d need to build in space to… well, make a wormhole from the hub to wherever the ships were trying to go. The downsides were that you had to build hubs and they were expensive, and you could only actually leave from the hub itself which had a limit on how many wormholes it could make. The upside was that it had dramatically better range than the other FTL options so you could build one on the borders of an enemy and then basically show up wherever you wanted.

4·13 days agodeploy a huge solar sail and wait two weeks to charge the capacitors.
The one exception are JumpShips (usually WarShips) with Lithium-Fusion batteries, which allow for a second jump without the recharge time. Those are functionally extinct in the Inner Sphere outside of Comstar, though.
