that’s not true, a child and an adult are not the same. and ai can not do such things without the training data. it’s the full wine glass problem. and the only reason THAT example was fixed after it was used to show the methodology problem with AI, is because they literally trained it for that specific thing to cover it up.

you are as helpful as a discord support chat, congratulations, you can sit there and be smug that it suddenly means you are right in your own head

the rant was basically summed up as: “i think forums are archaic and i feel the ability to search them was bad

i think that discord has a much better system because the devs can answer people’s questions directly.”

except my experience with these discords results in: me asking the question, a bot or some person states that the devs no longer answers questions due to having to answer the same questions over and over and to use the search function. the search function pulls up every time the key word is mentioned but not the context or resolution, and i end up having to read the time line, including random people chiming in with their own questions and now i am tracking who is talking to which person in tandem on the same chat, and some times they cross, some times other people come in to give their 2 bits, sometimes it’s starts an argument or is wrong, it irrelevant. an absolute fucking nightmare.

with a forum, i am usually directed there via a google search, it’s a sub division of the topics forum specifically created by the person with the question, the responses of everyone are for the topics exclusive benefit, and if there is arguments or wrong info, everyone can easily point it out without missing it in real time. and when the topic is either resolved, or given up on the topic ends. it’s not used for other people’s problems at any point.

what? if you have something to add please do. i do not see the benefit of federation in my voip

i HATE when i have to connect to other discords for that purpose. finding information on discord is the worse of all possible outcomes. if i am running into trouble i much prefer a searchable forum. as for different friend groups, i think team speak has the ability to save multiple friend groups servers.

i notice people not mentioning team speak 6. when our discord group were planning everything team speak 6 seemed to be the winner. it’s not free, but if i am hosting it with a license and have more control over the experience, then its not that big of a deal. from what i gather team speak 6 has better faster audio, and a better screen share for gaming. but we only just started poking around at options atm.

yea, but with the video streaming team speak seems better equipped for gameing, at the cost of the federated capability of martix, but i am not sure what these benefits would be

i mean… i will pay the license for it, AND i have to self host it, so they have a monetary scheme that will delay the need for enshitification. but it’s 5$ or something, and reportedly has better audio quality, faster transfer rates, and lower overhead then discord. and because i am hosting it, i will have complete control over it and its white list

already making plans with my battle group t move to team speak 6, which is only an option because they now have screen sharing

yes, put them all together in one place, in the open

no more place holders. either they provide a candidate that runs progressive ideals or they can run the election without my vote

i’m not voting for him if he was the last candidate on earth

i don’t believe it and am no longer giving them the chance to allow me to see it.

market dominance is not a monopoly. market dominance is a label given to the most successful product. and the product is successful because they offer a service that none else seems to be able to or wish to fulfill.

devs can choose to sell their game on steam, or windows live, or gog, epic game store, playstation, nintendo online, android app store, ios app store, on their own site, eb games, or the back of their car, what ever.

are all of these equally effective? nope. when you put your game on steam you get, the vast user base cultivated by valve, server space to host your game, massive server upload speeds, a built in store front, the discussion boards, steam game cloud, the stream overlays and stream input, steam workshop, community hubs, steam achievements, global money processing, themed sales, two special discovery windows. blah blah blah.

again, it’s up to the dev to decide if they want to pay 30% for these things.

to put it in perspective, when epic game store has a sale, steam makes a profit.

and steam needs data centers and servers and power and all the stuff to keep those running. ultimately though it didn’t matter. if steam thinks that their ecosystem is worth charging that much, then it’s up to the dev to decide if what steam provides is worth it to them

all eyes on breen

i doubt that would fix the problem they are in therepy for

that was not the implication, the implication is that if they were healthy enough to seek social fulfillment by “dating” multiple therapists, then they would have been healthy enough that they would have found social fulfillment by dating.

not that sex is some magic panacea.

i am pointing out an oxymoron

if op had the bandwidth to treat going to therapy like dating, they probably would not be a virgin, and would possibly not need therapy

Chronotrigger…

like even WHY!?
