  • Linux phones are more important now than ever.

    Jump

  • Realistically, i think this idea might work well in tandem with a sort of PDA built off a Pi. I use my phone as a computer, because its a computer. The parts of my phone that i need to be a phone are calls and text, as i dont take photos almost ever. Data is nice, but im fairly certain i had seen recently a sim module for Pi devices, so i can just bake it into that instead so i still have a mobile computer.

    Someone will eventually make a better phone OS, but in the short term it seems smart to move to a dumb phone and offset everything else to a device tou can actually control.

  • [[TheGamer]] Sekiro: No Defeat Is Possibly Being Made With Generative AI

  • "TheGamer" is not and never has been a trustworthy source of game news. They are horrendous for being a click bait website with shallow reporting.

    Even this article is shallow as fuck. Their citation is one bluesky post complaining about a frame where a hand looks weird. The rest of the article is them complaining about AI and inferring that the animation studio is using AI based on marketing wording the studio uses.

    If its made with AI, then yeah it can fuck off, but I highly fucking doubt that TheGamer is going to be the ones reporting on that with actual journalistic evidence. Hell I'm surprised they aren't using AI themselves with how piss poor their standards are.

    Fucking click bait

  • Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0

  • More proof that anti-cheat and bans just isn't a working approach.

    Almost every cheater I've talked to or seen interviewed has said they do it because they like winning. If thats the case, pushing them away isnt getting rid of them, its making them try to win harder, and they are literally spending money to make that happen.

    This means, there is a market for cheaters, one that publishers and devs simply assault instead of realizing they could replace it entirely.

    Create a marketplace in your game for cheats. When a player buys a cheat in game, they can turn it on but only in a specific playlist that cheaters get to play in. You dont need to own or turn on cheats to play in that playlist, in case you feel like challenging yourself, but cheaters can use them as much as they want in that playlist. If a cheater wants to go into cheat free playlist, their cheats get turned off by the game and they have to play like everyone else. Cheat free playlists can have cheat detection, and if you are caught cheating then you get banned from cheat free playlists permanently, but you arent banned from the game or the cheat playlist.

    This deters cheaters from paying third parties for cheats, gives them a space to experiment in, makes money for the company running the game, and reduces the amount of cheaters in regular public lobbies. It also creates a space of challenge for people who don't cheat, sorta like how people will do no death runs in souls games.

    Sure, it isnt a perfect solution, but its far better than punishing every player with invasive tech, while simultaneously letting a market of cheat sellers thrive. For a bunch of capitalists, its wild they haven't realized they are missing out on money with cheats.
