A digital decluttering success!

Inspired by @CiaraNi, who deleted her Dropbox in time for Denmark's Big Switch From Big Tech Day on March 20th (Danmark Skifter), I also finally got rid of mine — which I haven't used in ages.

I needed to review the files there, to see which ones I needed to save elsewhere. It wasn't many! An old to-do list was amusing.

Deleting the account meant working with Dropbox support because the email address associated with my account was one that's defunct — so I couldn't get the 6-digit verification code they sent when I tried to log in. But they were surprisingly helpful, and now it's done!

I thought I'd done the wrong thing when I switched to #amd at my last upgrade, but #nvidia have ruined themselves with #dlss5 and the #aiSlop filter. Ruining art in realtime is unforgivable, and I really hope AMD don't do the same. Happy with everything on AMD at the moment.

All these graphic design geeks have completely lost any sense of aesthetics, artistic style, and identity, and they have absolutely no understanding of social criticism.

It’s also completely irrelevant whether this is a beta presentation - the current comparisons show, above all, how individuality is being erased.

Hands-On With DLSS 5: Our First Look At Nvidia's Next-Gen Photo-Realistic Lighting

YouTube

Happy to see most people shitting all over DLSS 5. Why would anyone want to make a game look like AI slop?!

Nvidia's next-gen graphics tech will ruin your favorite game

Nvidia's RTX 50-series will be able to upgrade graphics on games like Resident Evil Requiem and Starfield, in theory. In practice, DLSS 5 yassifies.

Polygon.com

Nvidia's latest DLSS 5 showcase proves again that Nvidia doesn't care about it's main customers and only wants AI slop corporates and greedy shareholders' money. This DLSS 5 "technology" isn't improvement it's straight up downgrade and they know that aswell since there isn't single FPS data in all of the videos and just this faceapp filters. And their last minute damage control comment which states "This is optional devs can turn it off" shows they really believed people would love this slop and not a single person in the control think about posting this video at all. Nvidia lost it's touch with gamers and customers long ago but at least DLSS could be helpful to low spec pc users like me and i'm really ashamed how far they fell.

#nvidia #dlss5

nVidia's announcement of #DLSS5 seems farcial for people interested in computer games. Running every frame through a slop-filter, turning every landscape into an HDR postcard, swapping every face with a beautified standard face, not matching the character's looks between scenes like an incompetent shape shifter.
However it does make sense as an announcement to investors. We have another use for AI! After the previous performance improvements in business that nobody can measure.

#slop #nVidia

I've always loved Nvidia for its technologies. DLSS is incredible, framegen too anything that can boost performance for 4K 240Hz gaming.

But THIS IS A NO-GO ! What is this nonsense? Is this AI-generated garbage that invents things that aren't even in the game? Where does it end?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJACkKbN-Eo --> WTF ???

I'm going to buy stacks of Radeon cards and donate to Lisa Su 😂

Please, AMD, raise the bar and don't try this. We want to play games made by real people, with real textures, not this crap from AI generators and chatGPT 🤢 🤮

Video games are art, and you're shitting on them, Nvidia. Go fuck yourselves.

I liked the Irish coins with animals on them. Apparently one priest strongly objected:

“If these pagan symbols once get a hold, then is the thin edge of the wedge of Freemasonry sunk into the very life of our Catholicity, for the sole object of having these pagan symbols instead of religious emblems on our coins is to wipe out all traces of religion from our minds, to forget the ‘land of saints,’ and beget a land of devil-worshippers, where evil may reign supreme”

I've let my CISSP lapse, but still in half minds over renewing it. On one hand, it's $135 to keep it another year, which isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. On the other hand, it's brought me zero additional income and is $135 sent overseas to a warmongering nation. Sucks either way.

I remember when I felt like I was on top of the world when I had a Pentium based PC.

Hell, remember when Amigas got 68060 accelerators?

Remember when a PowerPC based Mac just felt so powerful?

Remember how MIPS and SPARC based UNIX workstations felt like futuristic cutting edge?

Remember when 128 *megabytes* of RAM felt limitless?

Now a modern, octa-core Intel Core Ultra 7 with 128GB of RAM vomits when a start menu is clicked, or a browser has two tabs open.

SOFTWARE BLOAT FUCKING SUCKS!!
