Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • Either way, people should get to do whatever they like in the privacy of their homes with whatever shapes please them

    It seriously sounds like you’re trolling. People could do that already! The addition of the mod does LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IT DOES. The existence of gay characters doesn’t FORCE you to be gay around them.

    Thanks for self reporting so hard though.

  • i was watching a video the other day, i think it was Tirrrb, and i heard something that’s been rolling around my brain. for an amab trying to surpress trans identity issues, the act of getting married and having children can be purely perfomative masculinity. all throughout childhood boys are taught that having a family is super important, it makes sense to assume that’s the magical thing that will suddenly make you feel alright in your body.

    transitions after having kids arguably make more sense from an outsider perspective. you literally did all the things you’re supposed to do as a man, according to media. at that point if you’re even considering it, i reckon it’s time to start taking some small steps and seeing how you feel!

    even miniscule, “undetectable to anyone but you” kinda steps if you want, at the end of the day this is about you being happy :)

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • Something that looks like higher order reasoning emerged from training larger networks. At the end of the day it’s still just spicy autocomplete. Theoretically you could give it a large enough dataset to “predict” almost anything with really high accuracy, but all it’s doing is pattern recognition. One could argue that that’s all humans do, but that’s getting more into philosophy and skipping a lot of nuance.

    I’m not like, trying to argue with you by the way. Just having a fun time with this line of thought ^^

  • I wish I was as bold as these authors.
  • You’ve been speaking with your chest this whole time and now that we’re into the nitty gritty you really just said “The ai does... something!” It’s so general a description that by your measure automated thermostats are engaging in human reasoning when they make it a little bit cooler on a hot day.

    You might’ve been oversimplifying on purpose. I just can’t help but think you have no idea how LLMs work outside of this inherently flawed comparison to human thought.

  • New smartphone SIM card has faster embedded CPU core — single RISC-V core claimed to help deliver 10x storage, 10x faster transfers, improved security
  • But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.

    I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.

  • New Hori Steam controller announced
  • it felt also really nice to hold

    Straight up the only controller that doesn’t give me hand/wrist fatigue. I was a little disappointed they didn’t try something similarly whacky with the ergonomics of the deck.

  • Self-diagnosis is valid if it helps you
  • I mean, it’s no panacea, but still worth checking before jumping straight to a potentially pricey specialist. Unfortunately some doctors are still dipshits.

    I’m sorry you got invalidated by a medical professional, it’s dishearteningly an all too common experience for neurodivergent folk. I hope it didn’t turn you off the idea of treatment too bad. There are good doctors out there, who care and will listen and won’t just talk down to you.
