“Completely new”
Okay, then don’t train it on anything at all and let’s see how it turns out.

“Solving the crisis … requires the private and non-profit sectors to join forces with the public authorities at all levels of government.”
So as long as everybody coordinates toward the same common goal, we should be okay.
…Welp, we had a good run.
Do you have a good “getting started” resource for self-hosting that you would point people to?
Or just plug in a regular laptop when you want to watch something. That’s my move.
On top of crap hardware, “smart” TVs are a pretty serious security vulnerability, too. Better to not have it on the same network as your primary devices.
“Society if Piped would actually play videos,” for me :( I’ve had some luck with Invidious, but I haven’t been able to get videos playing on Piped for some months now.
Well… That’s like alot of steps, lol. In UX design, we would call that a violation of the Three Click rule, and obfuscating the expression of user intent.
Like… Do you gain anything from these launchers? I guess Frosty you opt into because you use it to manage your mods. Maybe launching through that is how your mods get bootstrapped. Kay cool.
Epic games, you definitely need and want to use for other reasons-- Shopping for games and managing your library-- but is it really benefitting you to open that app so that you can open the app you actually want to use? Maybe you have a reason that you actually like that better, idk, but I’d rather just open the app that I want.
And then the EA app… What does it offer that makes it worth putting another step between you and your game? Login to the EA account you don’t need? DRM? Ads for other games? The premise of most launchers is that the company has some goals that you don’t share, and they’re willing to add friction to your experience to achieve those.
Some launchers aren’t so bad. I dunno what EA’s deal is. Speaking of Ubisoft Connect specifically:
Those things aren’t necessarily all bad per se, and you’d certainly tolerate them for some apps… But it’s a big imposition for the company to insist on, IMO, and part of the reason for the launcher hate.
I didn’t downvote btw, I think you’re entitled to your opinion and maybe you’re fine with the launchers you use… But personally, I just choose not to play Ubisoft games for that reason, even though there are games that I would like to have played.
Ubisoft Connect, no thanks.
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, fam.
That’s pretty cool of you to show up to the conversation in good faith tbh.
LOL Right? The contempt is just barely contained by the Wikipedia voice and tone.
3.5 is still reasonably useful for the same reasons you described, imo… Just less so.

I too had an Animorphs flashback.
That art style is called “Alegria” or “Corporate Memphis” and it always makes me feel kind of nauseated, even without the cannibalism.

Yo Throck, you down to hit the frictionless ramp this afternoon?
That second one is the real killer.
Well defined and constrained responsibility: No problem.
Open-ended obligation to people you don’t know: Bottomless pit of potential despair.
Lol I actually kind of like having a lawn to mow, but yeah it sucks to have to.
I’M LATE FOR… (checks itinerary) WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT
They should make the versions UUIDs instead of integers so that we don’t make assumptions about their ordinal relationships.
