Haha, that never occurred to me. That’s a cool one.

I wanted to make it shoot plasma grenades, but at first it just blew up in my face, then it lobbed plasma grenades in front of me.

Eventually I changed the impact of the bullet on each object in the game so it would explode like a plasma grenade instead of giving off the impact animation.

Took forever.

I wonder if I can still install that old version anywhere and mess with the hex codes.

In the original halo on PC I modded the game so the rifle was shoot out banshees instead of bullets. I also made the warthog fly. I guess now that I’m typing this is was not really cheating as it was a 1v1 match and we got to screw around with the mods is did.

I do not really understand what you want to do. But I think you want to use an existing AI model and create your own personality from it.

Is that correct?

If so, you want to download ollama and run it. Then you will also download and run sillytavern.

In Sillytavern, you can create different characters and give them different personalities.

This does require some technical knowledge, but it does not require you to code anything. You will also need a GPU with ha decent amount of ram for any complexity.

Some billionaires are saying shorter work weeks be used of AI, some are saying longer.

If this just a way for us to be “grateful” for things to remain the same?

Thanks! It’s been so long since I’ve used plex. I didn’t know they offered their own proxy service now.

It just sounds too good to be true. So, no critics have claimed downsides to this?

Doesn’t Jellyfin operate the same way?

I’m not sure there is any difference.

What?! Why don’t you have to do those things with Plex?

So is this a huge breakthrough that’s going to be adopted by ai companies across the board? Or maybe there is some downside.

Ok, so don’t use a vpn, just go to a proxy running in another country that is connected to a vpn?

I wanted to buy Nikes recently. But all their designs were ugly, so I ended up with adidas. Not sure if owner is better than nike or not, but at least I didn’t get Nikes.

I don’t know much about running this on my own computer other than using ollama. Is that what you mean about running it on my own?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but if I understand you correctly, I think the same logic can be applied to using n OS of choice.

I still think it’s an issue of priority.

Anyone who asks me about this is getting the “At least try Linux for free first before buying a new computer.

Another example I have is that my mother-in-law is retired. You think she needs a new computer? Nope! She’s getting Linux before a new computer. The only other option for her would be an iPad since she’s just browsing the web anyway.

I find that I don’t use it much after I do my initial setup.

Mainly I use it when doing server admin stuff, but for my personal computer, I use it to update and install apps for the most part.

That must be what I saw before and decided against it.

Do you mind sharing what you use the terminal for? There is usually a gui to do most things these days.

I also only know basic commands. ChatGPT is pretty good that, so it is my first stop if I need something complex.

Are there specific things you dislike about terminal?

I’m a resident of a foreign country and I have to do an annual online check in and pay some fee, like $20.

I forgot to do it the first year, but it was not a big deal. I just had to pay a late penalty.

I thought there was a charge or something. I guess that’s what turned me off from it.
