Hmmm, I wonder how this would affect things in the future where this is widely used.

I.E. if you had both widespread solar usage and some kind of large blackout, would it be hard to get all your solar back online because it’s all in the “waiting for the grid” state? And the grid can’t come back at capacity because all the solar it’s expecting is out?

I assume people smarter than me have this figured out, but just a random thought if anyone knows more.

Maybe there’s a spare USB header inside on the board?

It’s absolutely playable on the steam deck - beat the game that way with no regrets.

That said, do yourself a favor and lookup the graphics settings to use. By default, it uses a preset “Steamdeck” option with absolutely atrocious graphics - and completely unnecessarily! It can actually run the game at much higher settings with almost no FPS impact.

(I know people say that kind of thing all the time, but I’m telling ya, in this case it really is a night and day difference).

Will it be as nice as a gaming PC? Obviously not, but I was honestly really impressed with what it could do. The game is well optimized.

If you struggle to find settings, let me know, I can try to dig em up later.

You’ve got to remember that for most people living outside of cities, or living in red cities, this might as well not exist. Hell I bet even within big cities you might not be exposed to it depending on the neighborhood. You’d only really know through the news, and they don’t get their news from anywhere that would show them the truth.

If by chance word actually gets back to them that something really is happening, it’s already been carefully run through the Republican spin machine, where this is all very legal and very necessary to “restore order” - where resisting is the real anti-American thing to do.

What would it take to collapse the fantasy-land Trumpers inhabit on the daily? I’m not sure. You’re fighting 50 years of conservative propaganda for some of these folks - Trump is just the latest at the helm. They won’t be swayed easily.

A fantastic song as well!

It’s funny because ““only”” 77 houses seems quaint for the billionaires of today.

I mean most of them are so rich they wouldn’t even miss 1 billion of their fortune right?

Or in other words, they could easily buy 1,000 million-dollar homes without even making a dent.

I mean, we’re all thinking about the case where the AI approves drugs (which are probably safe-ish for the reasons you listed).

But what about the case where it denies life saving medicine because it doesn’t know what it’s doing?

Or when companies learn that they can insert a handful of words into their submission and get a pass rate of 100%?

And TBH I’m not convinced ol’ RFK won’t just use “the AI rejected it” as is his cover to do whatever he wants anyway.

Unfortunately public votes aren’t a choice, it’s a requirement for how the system works. Reddit also knew who voted for what, but it was safely hidden on their servers.

Every post and every vote is replicated across all the Lemmy servers (well, simplification, but mostly true).

Server owners don’t have to share it, but the information is in the database so it’s always going to be possible for someone to make a tool that displays it.

There’s not really an alternative - the Lemmy server needs to know what each person has voted on so it displays to them, so they can only vote once, etc. Not to mention that if it was anonymous, you could probably engineer a malicious system on other Lemmy servers to do massive vote manipulation even easier.

I’m not seeing a way to both make things distributed and anonymous.
