samplifier··on Deus Ex
Of course Unreal Tournament did this too. Same legends. I love the Necto Ulin remixes.
samplifier··on Total Annihilation, rebuilt for modern computers
So: money, gambling, ego bloating, greed, eye candy, narcotics?
samplifier··on Mistral Large 4
What do you mean "good enough"? Did you mean "large enough"? ;)

Disclaimer: I'm not sure how much of an IYKYK factor applies to this joke.

samplifier··on Show HN: HN.watch – Videos of all Hacker News posts
And one has no eyelids. And I must blink. And not topple over. And out.
samplifier··on An ongoing 3D-printer AGPL violation
These days power both corrupts and causes burnout.

And then there are there dozens (or hundreds?) of influences ignorantly accepting sponsorships.
samplifier··on Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc
Luanti + Mineclonia is really good.
samplifier··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
I've read this before. Marketing?
samplifier··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
I'm the opposite. I started out promising myself I'd install all those handy looking plugins (I had like 20 I wanted to try out). But I've been slippery sloped into building my own Pi extensions and reinventing the wheel many, many times. It's been months and I love it. I just keep discovering and learning, and forgetting, and doing it all over again. I've been building my own harnesses since before that word was so common though, even before Aider was released.
samplifier··on JetZero
Sounds like a race to the bottom. Mmm bad pun.

Might as well iddqd and idkfa at that point. Or grantme all. Pick your flavor.
samplifier··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
"Dave" seems to be a reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey" where the AI becomes ... cheeky ... and no, not in a Pygmalion kind of way (that's coming soon).
samplifier··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
No one here started with Aider? Or even text-generation-webui? Or SillyTavern? Or were they too pseudo-agentic? :)
samplifier··on Transcribe.cpp
IIRC that is exactly how Dragon Naturally speaking did it decades ago.
samplifier··on John Deere owners will get the right to repair equipment under FTC settlement
Have you tried SponsorBlock? https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock
samplifier··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
Indeed, and then after school care because both parents are still working until 6 pm, quietly eat dinner, watch cocomelon, and then to bed. Horror.
samplifier··on Beyond All Reason (Free Total Annihilation Inspired RTS)
Bullet hell, or rather bullet heaven. TA was the first game where I saw the PC struggle during big battles and it was a pleasant experience, unlike the lag in multiplayer games where I mainly played against people across the pond.
samplifier··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
Eye opener. Thanks for the warning! GrapheneOS sandboxes all apps including GSF as far as I understand. It would be nice if full capabilities could be exposed or at least shown in the app settings. There is the "All permissions" view which has a "have full network access" item with the following details: `Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.` Does this mean the app has this permission and even without it can fully access the internet? If so the primary "network" permission is very misleading. I wish for a smartphone-like device which installs apps with `cap_drop: ALL` by default. I wish for a government which would support such a standpoint and "assist" companies not able to provide a service which require intrusive data gathering. Either that or we're all just one big happy family with no secrets and no jealousy and no drama. sigh
samplifier··on Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler
I think rather than "incompatible" the issue lies in equality/equity. Too many people are being manipulated.
samplifier··on Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler
Are there enough of us to run our own country? It makes me feel dumb, but this is a serious question.
samplifier··on Chrome removes claim of On-device Al not sending data to Google Servers
Because the concepts of freedom and security are not universal.
samplifier··on BYOMesh – New LoRa mesh radio offers 100x the bandwidth
Battlestar Galactica opened my eyes to this problem more than electronic warfare in games of the day did. It's freaky (read: terrifying) that we're getting to a point that people are starting to take "embedded information (and decision)" systems serious enough to deploy them into meat space.
samplifier··on Online age verification is the hill to die on
Duke Nukem 3D had bouncy pixels that made it "tickle down there". Also: monochrome women "eating bananas".
samplifier··on Men who stare at walls
Oh this reminds me of The way of Zen by Alan Watts.
samplifier··on French government agency confirms breach as hacker offers to sell data
Proving* that the KYC implementation is bogus as it relies on GSF. *Probably.

samplifier··on A WebGL game where you deliver messages on a tiny planet
Thanks! That was fun. I think I got on top of most things with some glitch exploiting save for the green water tower next to the secret person. I got to the UFO but it didn't trigger a secret sequence with the sunbathing space-person. I also got into the sewer pipe but I didn't find any more secrets there. Maybe we need to combine our powers and do the secret emoji sequence. Or maybe spin the sigils in the title sequence to enable cheat mode. :-)

A bit nauseous on mobile here too. I think it was mainly due to low frame rates and the controls not quite doing that I was expecting them to do.

Thanks for sharing that information. Fonts were not being rendered without adding an exemption. Instructions for future reference if resist fingerprinting is on: in about:config modify privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains and add messenger.abeto.co/. Example: .example.invalid,*messenger.abeto.co/ Obligatory disclaimer that fingerprinting is then possible for that site and one's privacy could be compromised. Use at your own risk and all that.

I'm a recovering completionist. Don't do this to me! I've been trying to find a secret area by walking on the pipes but that is probably a red herring. But why is there a gauge there? I also haven't found the girl on the roof yet, multi-wall jumping doesn't seem to work :)

SPOILERS AHEAD (for another game, which you should have played by now, if you enjoy this game, in my opinion) There's also a hiss at the industrial site which reminds me of the game Full Throttle where you have to kick the wall at the right time. But that can't be a thing, right? But the gauge!
