That’s what I meant with “prior art”. Nintendo’s second patent basically explains how any old JRPG worked.

Copyright is already cooked, no matter where it’s located. But the way japan acts as if Pokemon invented JRPG battles is simply ridiculous.

the fact that patents on game mechanics are even allowed is just awful for the industry as a whole

Yes, definetly.

“moving characters to a virtual field when an event is triggered” (entering a battle)

How is that a legit patent, when there are so many obvious instances of prior art?

Facebook actively shadow bans you when you discuss Gaza. Tiktok is afaik the only platform where you can agitate about Gaza with significant reach.

Edit: I just watched an FD Signifier video, where he avoided saying the word “Palestine”, because he expects youtube to bury his content if he mentions it.

If he’s that desperate and has the money to spend, he’ll probably enjoy it. I’m not sure if I’d call that grade of… dedication to porn very… healthy.

Phenom X4? That thing probably can’t really handle YT HD streams.

I’m using the fast charging devices that are bundled with Samsnug phones and the like. But my raspberry 4 is currently not in use.

My guess is that you’ll get less diminishing returns if you focus on the haptical hardware, rather than the graphics.

You could get away with nothing but the Pi, depending on what you’ve got lying around.

Guess it depends on how much hardware you already got lying around. I could scrounge up an SD card, an old phone charger, a fan, keyboard and mouse from my supply and I’ve got a 3D printer.

I’m all for recycling though. I’m just not sure if a $100 i5 system could handle all that bloat on the web.

Also: I really like AV1. 😅

Yeah, but I wouldn’t be sure used stuff below 100€/$/whatever could handle the internet too well, nowadays.

Cheaper than a raspberry? O.o

You could recreate them if you had the training data, which is pretty much never disclosed.

Without having too much knowledge in proxys: Especially since NATs are so widespread, I think, you’d need something like tailscale/Nebula/ZeroTier (or simply some Wireguard connection) for this.

“Open Source” is a misnomer for LLMs. The weights are comparable to binary blobs.

Take my setup for jellyfin as an example: There’s a database located on the SSD and there’s my media library located on an HDD array. The HDD is only spun up when jellyfin wants to access a media file.

In my previous setup, the nextcloud database was located on a HDD, which resulted in the HDD never spinning down, even if the actual files are never really accessed.

In immich, I wasn’t able to find out if they have this separation, which is very annoying.

All this is moot, if you simply offer a tiny service which doesn’t access big files that aren’t stored on SSDs.

Please be mindful of HDD spindown.

If your app frequently looks up stuff in a database and also has a bunch of files that are accessed on-demand, then please have an option to separate the data-directory from the appdata-directory.

A lot of stuff is self-hosted in homes and not everyone has the luxury of a dedicated server room.

I think it’s not banned, but doesn’t have an age rating, which makes it ill gal to be advertised in Germany. Since displaying the game counts as “advertisement”, Valve simply doesn’t let you buy it.

… is that good? I think it’s good. Right?

Edit: help me! ELI5, plz
