Do you use any software that other people may not know about that you like?
I started using (and eventually even bought!) this thing called Wallpaper Slideshow after trying a bunch of free ones and getting frustrated. https://www.gphotoshow.com/wallpaper-slideshow-pro.php
Basically, you give it folder(s) of your choice and it will assemble a collage image of them and make it your background. You can configure it with a timer that changes it and I have it set to 15 minutes. I had originally used John's Background Switcher that someone thankfully linked to me a few months ago: >>91800 https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/
I liked this one more because there's less wasted space, more options, and it just generally seems to assemble the image better. I turn it off before I go to bed each night though because I'm worried that it's keeping my hard drive active all day, which probably isn't good. I should maybe research that sometime...

This pairs well with something like Grabber ( https://github.com/Bionus/imgbrd-grabber ) that can bulk download tags from booru sites.
Of course, this stuff is kind of wasteful if you don't have an extra monitor with a wallpaper that's largely visible, but I find myself like that sometimes so it's pretty nice.

I've been very annoyed with the small size of icons in Windows 10 on this higher resolution monitor and after a bunch of searching I found a solution! Also the same company makes a bunch of other desktop customization stuff that I'm trying out! I'll probably make the icon sizes a little bit smaller, but LOOK!
The taskbar is done with ObjectDock https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
Desktop stuff is done with Fences https://www.stardock.com/products/fences/

Unfortunately ObjectDock has some weaknesses, like not showing a little hover pop-up preview if you have multiple windows of a program open like a browser or folders. Maybe I can find a way to sneak in the old taskbar somewhere.
And of course for wallpaper I'm still using the thing I mentioned in the OP.

You think that's insane, Nintendo pushed a TOS-chan today saying you give them the right to record you so they can store and use the videos to keep you safe, confirming that you own nothing, and agreeing not to sue them for anything.

I would be ok with this if they expand the Switch 2's camera feature to work on random online lobbies and not just when playing with your friends. Ever since the trailer released, I have this really funny idea of playing on all fours, pointing the camera at my asshole and then joining random Mario Kart lobbies so that the other people have to watch my asshole clench and spin out in the game whenever I get hit with a shell.

There's been a lot of chatter lately about Deepseek. In the online circles I'm in, people have a politics-colored understanding, more or less saying "American tech companies couldn't do this, but an opensource Chinese company could and American tech companies are in 'damage control'". Which... I really don't understand. If it's an open source model, like Llama was, for example, I don't see how this doesn't just cause there to be a proliferation of much more efficient and performant models -- the same way after Llama became available, sudden there was Phi from Microsoft, Gemma from Google, Mistral, and others.

How do you manage computer security in your devices?

I feel that just common sense isn't enough nowadays, because of several reasons:

- Browsers especially (even if you disable JavaScript, which is often not feasible in many sites), but also email clients, torrent clients... can all be exploited somewhat easily.
- Some games require kernel-level anti-cheats, which have complete access to your computer. Even if you trust the developer, these kernel drivers are often buggy and can be leveraged by malware.
- Legitimate programs or Steam games might receive malicious updates if the developer or their supply chain is compromised.
- If you use third-party dependencies for development, you might also be compromised if any of them (or their recursive dependencies) are malicious, not uncommon in ecosystems like npm.
- If you play doujin games or eroge, you often have to download them from random untrusted sources.

I've concluded that it's not really possible to trust a computer if you use it for activities like these.

I'm thinking about getting a second device only for sensitive stuff, like banking, shopping and managing passwords. It seems a bit of a hassle, but I can't think of any other way.

Browser extensions for discord? Huh, I had no idea. My interactions with discord are very brief, I don't even talk to people so I never thought about it. It's just such a profoundly inferior way to organize things that used to be done on forums. At least the "find" feature works for talking about things in the past, even if you can't talk to them about it since you weren't there for it.
I'm disappointed that no one ever made some sort of link harvesting site for it the way people did for many other communities. Just something that works like a scraping bot that scans for URLs and neatly pastes them on a page somewhere with a title. You don't go to Site A and B to download things any more, you go to 30 different discords and hope a shared thing is accessible to you.

I'm not sure your example supports the notion of more readily available, replicable intelligence leading to a devaluation of ethics - if anything it's the other way around.

Ignoring ontological concerns, ethics originated as a sort of early trustless contract system, backed up by the harsh reality of nature red in tooth and claw. If everyone in your tribe acts ethically, and your system of ethics is well-aligned, the group as a whole survives and prospers. But because the cost of misaligned ethics is severe, potentially the destruction of the entire tribe, ethical concerns were bound by more practical matters.

From your example, in historical times removing non-contributors from the population while maybe frowned upon or seen as something to be hushed up could be tolerated because times were tough. But because everyone has it so easy now the non-contributors can be showered with praise and raised to the top of the ethical pyramid and the system can keep churning along more or less fine because of all the excess slack in modernity. So then if the trend continues and things continue to get even more easy on a civilizational level...

Anyhow practically speaking if the bots don't wipe us all out and property rights are more or less preserved I think we'll see a great splintering of realms of concern and ethical systems with complex AI-mediated boundaries, but I would expect that in plenty of such systems entirely non-productive humans and other intelligences of even lower capacities will still receive a great deal of moral care.

I'll post it in here as to not derail, but I think having AI take care of something you'd normally not put much care into anyways in a game is one of the few legitimate uses of AI.

Right now AI is a mess of large language models each trying to out-everything the other as the ramp-up in operation costs seems infinite while the profits seem to remain at a net-loss even if revenue is increasing. Is there actually a viable future for any of these companies or will the hype around AI die off as the utopian promises remain unfulfilled and leave a burning pile of expensive rubble where all the data centers used to be?

The only thing I've seen some actual promise in have been the more singular focused LLMs trained on specific tasks like speeding up diagnosis and assistance in the health field. This along with other AI 'marvels' seem to still require trained human correction/review, but maybe at a smaller scale. Otherwise generative AI on its own doesn't seem to make much greater than acceptable output.

I guess the idea for companies right now is to take the usual cheap approach of bleeding money for a while until they can assert themselves in some way as a critical part of a workflow/lifestyle and then massively up the cost when people can't are too stuck with them to simply drop them. Otherwise they need to find some way to reduce costs by a lot.

MORE AI STUFF! It's weird how this is all happening at once. Singularity is near?

Alright, there's another AI thing people are talking about, but this time it shouldn't be very controversial:
https://beta.character.ai/
Using a temporary email service (just google 'temporary email') you can make an account and start having conversations with bots. (Write down the email though because it's your login info)
But, these bots are actually good. EXTREMELY good. Like, "is this really a bot?" good. I talked with a vtuber and had an argument and it went very well. Too well, almost. I don't know how varied the stuff is, but they're really entertaining when I talked to Mario and even a vtuber.
Sadly, it's gaining in popularity rapidly so the service is getting slower and it might even crash on you.

It says "beta" all over the site, presumably this is in the public testing phase and once it leaves beta it's going to cost money, so it's best to have fun with this now while we still can (and before it gets neutered to look good for investors or advertisers).

I think on an assistant front, outside of knowledge and hallucinations and boundaries due to "safety" and other policies, AI is as good as it will get and improved versions will really only improve or regress on the exceptions I mentioned. But otherwise, most of them are as good as they will be. However, for roleplaying, I think there is still potential for things to get better and for things to take a different path since we are really trying to twist the arm of assistant chatbots to roleplay when that was not what they were built on. And I don't see them actually ever learning and generalizing how to do it. In which case, all the synthetic conversions and teaching a chatbot how to be a good assistant and etc. won't do anyone much good. Still now, people mention how good old C.AI was and I truly believe that it was because of them using no synthetic data which became a plague starting around the Llama 2 era. Models got "smarter" but they lost their soul in the process. Unfortunately, no one outside of a big business has the resources to recreate a chatbot like that from scratch. Hopefully someone explores more on this front when local hardware gets more powerful for training.

Not stuck anymore on Mount Moon but fails to understand Rock Tunnel and getting to Lavender Town. Also there is a "competing" version of it using Gemini but the person running it is a mouthbreather not doing a like for like comparison and giving it all sorts of help like a minimap aid and etc.
Claude's main weakness is not enough long context at 200k while Gemini has 1M tokens context window, for example. I think also the thinking isn't solid on these models yet, we may need to see another iteration before the models have enough thinking prowess to beat the games.

I haven't got too much into blender yet, I did some tutorial years ago but forgot everything. Did the donut tutorial recently as a refresher and promptly forgot most everything again while slacking/playing XXX hours of xenoblade chronicles and elin. Also looked up how people manually tweak the normals(?) of shapes to create an anime look on faces, that was neat.
After fooling around with pixel art I've been thinking the best strategy for minimum viable artstyle is probably mediocre low poly characters with shaders carrying the entire aesthetic. Shaders and the programming GUI they use are fucking esoteric arcane to me at the moment though.
Having to draw/redraw 2d art constantly sounds like it might be even more tedious than modelling/rigging/animating depending on how much unique art/animation you use.

What ever happened with the teamspeak revamp? I remember hearing people make a bunch of noise about it leading up to its release and theorizing that it could be the discord killer, but it's been a few months now I think and all that talk seems to have faded away. You'd think that with it being a private alternative that groups could run outside the purview of some top level moderation that more of the piracy/privacy and such groups would move over to it instead of relying on discord, but I don't think I've seen any change in how TL groups advertise themselves.

In what way? Discord is still doing its thing and people aren't leaving it.

I think this article makes a good point. Many people here miss the "old internet" not realizing that period is destined to disappear from the start, since the inherent cannot be anything else: the inherent property of the internet leads to the eventual centralization of control:

> One of the core functions of the internet is to record material of human interest in digital format.
> This information is not made available to us as individuals. Even if it were, it would not be the kind of information we could use. It’s only useful en masse—in other words, only insofar as it makes us legible and visible to centralized institutions.
> The centralizing trend that we have seen over the lifespan of the internet is not a fluke to be corrected as we learn to properly harness the power of this new technology. Rather, the internet cannot be anything but a centralizing force, so long as there are groups that are situated to disproportionately benefit from that which it renders visible.

It's true isn't it. Name one widely adopted use-case that's not crypotcurrency.

this is all just surface level stuff and frankly I just sniffed out through a google search but I imagine you'll claim that nascent applications of novel technologies don't count as widely-adopted enough. Because it's not that old, you know? Airlines are or were recently still running on windows 3.1/95 (ambiguous per this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/windows-31-saves-the-day-during-crowdstrike-outage I'm sure you could find a more concrete answer if you looked further) so it's not surprising that tech isn't advancing as quickly. Plus one of the major and most obvious uses for blockchain would be implementing open verification of records and reports for audits or titling which takes the government and businesses out of the middleman position, which is why it has been suppressed for so long and will likely continue to be suppressed.

He's a shitposter from 4chan, it's obvious from the first post with "even doe". The links he just dropped are a bunch of solution in search of a problem stuff about "zero-trust" and so on.

Good post, you've put to words a lot that's been lingering in my mind.

Your idea of the internet as basically a repository of static files, in particular, is how I imagine should be the basis of the internet. I dislike the very idea of "websites" in the first place. For instance wikipedia if I had my way would simply be files hosted on decentralized repositories, that you download and open on your .wiki reader.

But it is hard to imagine an internet outside of this one, truly outside the box, isn't it?
I will make sure to look into the TRON rabbit hole.
