It's just a computer. You can do whatever you need a computer for. Browse Lemmy on it. Play video games on it. Use it as a server. Make it run an ad video on the TV in your store window.

Whatever you need a PC for. If you don't need a PC for something, you don't need a Raspberry Pi.

The entire point of the Raspberry Pi was that it was a very very cheap PC, and it's no longer cheap, so nowadays there is definitely less reason to buy one.

Ideally you won't, the requirement sucks

Any VPS provider just gives you an SSH IP and port. So that's the default state, until you do something else, which I imagine many don't, since key based authentication was always considered secure.

So I don't know the reason, but that's the standard practice with most providers, like Digital Ocean or Linode or whatever. You can call them maniacs but you shouldn't be surprised at something so ubiquitous.

Hmm, I'm at the server limit (in 50 Discords) and none of them were marked in that way. Some of them have NSFW channels that I can't access anymore, but I don't care about that.

Maybe I'm in different kinds of communities.

It doesn't, you just can't view NSFW channels if you don't. Which is a problem if that's something you want to do, but "requires" is a strong word.

I like the ideas here but I fail to see where you guys get the spears from. We only get a knife and food, which presumably doesn't come with a long stick.

No, your emails are still sent from your providers servers and are signed by Proton/Tuta/Gmail/whatever you choose to use. Your domain is the from: field but it was sent by the actual email provider with all the trust behind it.

I never ran into something requiring a Google/Apple address. Some may require a Google account, but you can create a Google account with any email address. You don't actually need to use Gmail on your Google account.

The only reasonably future proof solution is to get your own domain, and redirect emails sent to @yourdomain.com to your email provider.

Then you can freely change providers in the future but your email addresses stay the same. Doing that costs very little and doesn't require any self hosting, just buying a domain. Looks professional too.

The sentence structure, the everpresent em-dashes, the constant rule of threes.

The idea, yes. But why is this website written by AI? I don't mean the code, write all the code with AI, sure, but why is all the text AI? Someone wants to start a movement and they can't even write a basic one page about it?

How dedicated are they really if they can't say anything about it in their own words?

Replace your text editor with AI, why not, but don't replace your own thinking. That's when it becomes mindless slop instead of a tool to bring your own ideas to life faster.

To block it, or even train a model to block similar content.

That's of course not the reason here. But that would be a reasonable reason if it wasn't done by Roblox.

I mean, this comic is titled "Galaxy Fold vs Flip Phone" and is from 2019. Nothing about Apple.

The title of this comic (which is from 2019), is: "Galaxy Fold vs Flip Phone". OP unfortunately didn't include the title. Nor the bonus panel.

And if players oppose AI from a moral stand point, than making an exception for code, is misleading to the end users, who don’t know the intricacies of the AI disclosure criteria.

I completely agree, Steam's disclosure rules don't work for anyone who wants to avoid AI from a moral standpoint.

It is the bugs that break games and make the experience mesirerable.

Yes, bugs break games, but also buggy games always existed and reviews and public opinion have always handled informing potential buyers of that. I know there are games which are incredibly buggy because they were vide coded, I played them and was disappointed. But I also have no doubt that there are games that are less buggy because the devs use AI to check the code they write for problems. Just like all the news stories we hear about security vulnerabilities being found due to AI scanning, so are mundane bugs found with AI scanning.

Vibe coded code? Yes will have bugs. Human written code with additional AI review will have less bugs. You would still want to avoid it if you have a moral issue with it of course, but it is higher quality than if AI wasn't used. Putting it all in one bucket is misleading.

Why should AI generated assets be disclosed but not AI generated code.

Because games are art, people play them to experience something another human being created. There is no excuse for AI generated asset, and they always bring the quality of the game down. While AI assisted code can bring the quality of the game up, it's not as black and white. Though it often doesn't.

Physical access is still required to steal the mug on my dining room table.

We are aware that many modern game development environments have AI powered tools built into them. Efficiency gains through the use of these tools is not the focus of this section. Instead, it is concerned with the use of AI in creating content that ships with your game, and is consumed by players. This includes content such as artwork, sound, narrative, localization, etc.

What you linked is pretty clear to me. Tools and code are not "content". That's Valve's intent.

That's incorrect. The Steam AI badge only concerns gen-AI assets, not code. So UE or middleware that was coded with AI doesn't make the game need the badge at all. Whether you agree with that or not is another thing, but that's the current Steam rules. AI disclosure is only for assets, not code.

The Steam AI badge is specifically about gen-AI assets. A game that's 100% vibe coded, but uses human art, doesn't need the badge according to Steam rules.

And while AI assistance with code is common, gen-AI assets not so much.

That's about LG, the tweets are about Samsung. Have you even read the post?

I believe most newly released games that have opted to not disclose the use of AI are lying

Why do you think so? AI assistance is common for code, but many games absolutely don't use gen-AI assets.

I don’t know what role that AI disclosure plays anymore

It allows people to avoid games with gen-AI assets, what's unclear about that?
