Steam accused of 'normalizing hate and extremism in the gaming community' in new ADL report
  • I understand Steam not wanting to moderate the absolute flood of user-created content of its thousands of games (on their own), but then, it probably shouldn't force community forums on every single one of its games when the developers can't or don't want to moderate them.

    (Also, the ADL doesn't recognize the ongoing genocide of Palestinians so maybe we should just ignore what they think.)

  • I love Rust
  • Then you should also override Equals(object), GetHashCode, and implement IEquatable<T>.

    Thankfully a lot of the usual boilerplate code can be avoided using a record class or struct:

    public record Person(string Name, uint Age);
    
  • "Backup" your fedi account, when not self hosting?
  • I was editing my comment as you were responding. Check the issue on GitHub I linked in the edit, and maybe thumbs it up for visibility. One of the commenters mentions using a third-party tool but I'm not sure the one they linked to can grab posts. In theory another one might exist to dump your post data.

  • "Backup" your fedi account, when not self hosting?
  • Which service? Mastodon has a built-in export functionality in preferences.

    I can't find such an option on Lemmy, but you should be able to do a GDPR request for your information as a last resort.

    edit: Non-post data / user settings can be exported (and imported!) but posts are a separate issue. See this open issue.

  • Plants Really Do 'Scream'. We've Simply Never Heard Them Until Now
  • Real classy of you to do the toddler thing of sticking your fingers in your ear and going "la la la I can't hear you". (It'll be an honor to share a spot on your block list with these other two fellas.)

  • Questions about anonymity on lemmy.world servers
  • Whenever you post something publicly on the internet, it's best to assume that you may not be able to delete it. Scrapers, search engines, caches, people taking screenshots, ... This is of course especially true with the fediverse, where posts are duplicated across servers. (Typically deletion requests are honored, but they might not, or they don't go through because of an issue, and even then the previously listed issues are still present.)

    However, this is only regarding information that's either public or shared through the protocol, which doesn't include your IP address or the email address used to register. These are only available to the server your account is on and the client you connect with, if you're using an app. This information is I believe what OP was asking about, not the posts themselves.

    (Without a proxy / VPN (comes with its own up- and downsides) your internet provider can also check some of your internet traffic, such as who you're connecting to, though typically not what data is being exchanged, due to encryption, like HTTPS.)

  • What features would you like added to Lemmy itself?
  • Is this not what the "active" sorting does?

  • Windblown shows how good roguelikes can be with friends
  • The idea is that "roguelike" = a game like Rogue, which according to some people, requires checking most if not all of the boxes including ASCII, proc-gen, perma-death, turn-based, ... while the term "rougelite" is less strict. But I think we're past the point of that distinction being adopted into mainstream.

  • I'm banned from a server I've never heard of because someone I've never heard of reported me to myself for posting a picture of my own grocery store to my own subreddit.
  • You'd want all of them. The community moderators receiving the report is obvious. The instance admins get notified because all content that goes through their server is copied and stored on them.

    Also I heard that if mods take care of the report before their admins see it, the report doesn't go through anymore, to cut down on the amount they have to deal with? Not sure on how that works.

  • Querying the Godot documentation website? Is that possible?
  • https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs

    This is the source for Godot's documentation. You could clone the repo (in reST format) or download one of the releases (in HTML format) offline, so you wouldn't even need to query anything online.

  • Don’t Ignore This Simple Tip: NSA Says Rebooting Can Protect Your Phone
  • My uneducated guess is, some threats will burrow themselves in active memory but have no way of persisting beyond a reboot. Or perhaps it just shuts down background software you don't need that could be vulnerable.

  • I'm banned from a server I've never heard of because someone I've never heard of reported me to myself for posting a picture of my own grocery store to my own subreddit.
  • Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something?

    Reports go to four places:

    • The community moderators.
    • The admins of the instance the community is hosted in. (lemmy.sdf.org)
    • The admins of the instance the reporting user is from. (discuss.tchncs.de)
    • The admins of the instance the reported user is from. (also lemmy.sdf.org in this case)

    So yeah, the admins of discuss.tchncs.de acted in this case. Why? I'm not sure.

  • Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought?

  • The team that made Minecraft console edition is now making their own blocky builder
  • Taming animals so you can ride them, or let them pull carriages? Building roads for vehicles? Train tracks with functional trains? Cool airships? All made obsolete with this one-kills-all glider feature! Don't let good game design get in the way of convenience! /s

  • Are there any decent, smaller, #Queer-friendly #Mastodon instances that don't block #Threads?
  • The real question is not what the algorithm pushes to you, but whether their moderation actually bans bigots and removes their posts. Any other instance would lose their "right" to federate with a queer-friendly instance if they didn't do that, so why would Threads get an exception?

  • Isn't "queer friendly" and "federates with Threads" an oxymoron?

  • Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be
  • ECS already makes it a hundred times easier for me to conceptualize game mechanics, modify and extend them. Giving AI the ability the ability to create data separate from systems that use them will make it much easier for it to build a game. I don't believe for a second it will be able to write functioning object-oriented game code for example. It will likely be best if it avoided coding via a text-based language altogether, and use visual scripting or another system based on chaining logic blocks together. But that still counts as the "system" part of ECS.

  • Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be
  • There is a possibility something like this will be possible in the future, but it's not going to be an achievement of AI, it's largely going to be the achievement of regular developers creating a general-purpose game engine that can be used to put together a game block by block, which can be utilized by both human game designers and AI. (Likely to better effect by the former.) I can imagine Entity Component Systems will play a big part of that.

    One of the biggest blockers for AI making games is going to be testing it to select for better performance. With text it's relatively easy to see if some text an AI produced is plausible. Images are also plentiful, but that's a lot more subjective. With both of these it would also not take a massive amount of time to add a human element. It's quick to check if a paragraph or image looks like it is a good response to the input promt. A game, however? How long do you need to play it to see if it's fun? At best, perhaps, you can write an AI to control a bot character to see if it's technically playable.

    I don't want to even think about the electricity that wlll be wasted training such models.

    Blocking individual users on Alexandrite frontend

    I don't see a way to block individual users' posts from showing up in my feeds. There is no "Block" button on any user's page like there is for communities. For some reason I thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was just using another frontend? I see some users are blocked when checking my settings. I made sure to disable uBlock Origin to check if it could be an element hiding rule.

    For the record these aren't rule breaking users or anything, but instead bots that automatically post things, some of them pulling links straight from reddit. I prefer my Lemmy being populated by humans.

    Thank you!

    The road to Create Aeronautics

    Create Aeronautics, along with other mods from the "Create Simulated" family, are addons for Create that push the mod into the realm of physics. This video talks about the state of the mods, what to expect, and some teaser clips and pictures.

    There was also a blog post by the creators themselves that contains some of the same information and teasers, if you prefer that format.
