defaming them without due diligence, think about that before continuing

The irony here is unbelievable rofl you can’t make this up. My previous statement was calling you childish and desperate for attention. Thanks for reminding me of that fact, so I can stop wasting my time. It is very clear you’re not interested in a genuine and constructive conversation.

It’s not one week of inactivity, is has been going on for months

Looks at 2 months straight of kbin devlogs since October, when the man was having pretty significant personal issues

Not to mention he was: recently sick; tended to financial issues, and personal matters; formalities relating to the project. This isn’t even mentioning that he communicated this in the devlog magazine. Or the fact that he has implemented suggestions multiple times at the request of the community to enhance QoL, and allowed users to have agency in making mod contributions.

You might want to take your own advice. This has also allowed me to revise my earlier statement. You people are actually insane.

every post I see from them further paints them as very childish and desperate for attention.

Agreed, every post I see from them further paints them as very childish and desperate for attention.

I’ve only felt the need to change distros once, from Linux Mint to EndeavourOS, because I wanted Wayland support. I realize there were ways to get Wayland working on Mint in the past, but I’ve already made the switch and have already gotten used to my current setup. I personally don’t feel like I’m missing out by sticking to one distro, tbh. If you’re enjoying Mint, I’d suggest to stick with it, unless another distro fulfills a specific need you can’t get on Mint.

I haven’t, but I’ll keep this in mind for the future – thanks.

I believe I was when I tried it before, but it’s possible I may have misconfigured things

I’ll give it a shot later today, thanks

edit: Tried out mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q4_K_M.ggufvia the LM Studio app. it runs smoother than I expected – I get about 7-8 tokens/sec. I’ll definitely be playing around with this some more later.

That’s good to know. I do have 8GB VRAM, so maybe I’ll look into it eventually.

I’m looking forward to the day where these tools will be more accessible, too. I’ve tried playing with some of these models in the past, but my setup can’t handle them yet.

I’d imagine this will also be very problematic for non-celebrities from all sorts of backgrounds as well. The harassment potential is very concerning.

Pandora’s Box is already opened, unfortunately. The Streisand Effect is only going to make this worse.

What scares me more than the fact that this guy exists are how many people chose to and continue to support him

To further add onto this, they can be public or private. Public Collections are able to be followed by other users. This would be helpful for increasing discoverability for fellow users and communities/magazines. You can create Private Collections for personalized feeds that you may not want to share, negating the need to create a new account for feeds with a different theme or purpose.

After spending the day reading about NLP, this is an interesting article to pop up on my feed to say the least…

I am so tired of seeing this goon on my feed

The game will be my first thought when waking up, and my last thought before I sleep.

I recall the second game getting a lot of negativity for…some reason I don’t fully remember.

Some of the popular complaints went into spoiler territory. Since I can’t seem to spoiler tag on kbin, I’ll only briefly mention that they generally centered around one of the main character’s choices early on, while also targeting their appearance for being “unrealistic”.

Outside of the story the gameplay is better, the tech is better, the environments are better. Even today it holds up as a powerhouse in these areas.

I agree overall. I also applaud Naughty Dog for the considerable number of gameplay options and accessibility features. If I remember correctly, someone has even beaten TLOU1/2 who was born blind.

I’m just trying to remember why a certain subset of people online were going all apey over it.

Not gonna get into it here, but the lesson learned by the protagonist felt like it missed the mark a bit when looking at the events of the game after things were said and done. Ultimately, I think it’s fairly minor considering that’s maybe my main gripe. I suppose I had some issues with pacing too, and thought some aspects of the plot should have been fleshed out differently. I was hoping to revisit TLOU1/2 eventually to see how my thoughts have changed.

Both have powerful stories, and I can respect a narrative that takes risks like TLOU has. I have some gripes with the second’s narrative, but I would still recommend it to many. I’ve also been thinking about it recently, so I’m pleasantly surprised to see it mentioned here.

China is one of the biggest culprits for blatant plagiarism and IP theft, although recently even academics from Ivy league universities have been implicated in fraudulent publications.

Sure, let’s make this about China when 4 out of 5 of the authors credited for the original article are from Africa.

• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hategekimana-Athanase
• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joelle-Kajuga
• https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dennis-Ndolo-Obonyo

While only one of which was from China. This doesn’t even address the fact that the republished paper came from Mawcha which describes a study on millipedes in… Africa. Guess what, Wenxiang Yang wasn’t even credited in this version. Was your reply carelessness or dishonesty and lack of integrity? I don’t care where the misinformation and carelessness comes from as long as we’re making efforts to stop it, but this is highly ironic.
