  • To an extent. memes allow you to go back to this since memes are user generated and cheap to make their isn’t much stopping users from “going back” to a less minimalist time on those memes. I do have to say though that I think there a number of reasons as to why companies are more into minalism these days.

    1. Physical media is less prevalent, everything is happening online now, and so they might just be keeping in theme with modern web/app design.

    2. open source software is more prevalent and because of this, why would companies innovate at all if the interfaces are available to them for free.

    3. apple does it, and everyone has to follow apple. it’s the trend in business.


  • There are going to be ai’s that tell users to kill themselves or not to. Depending on how well they are trained or set up by the creator and how the user is acting towards the ai. It’s not just one factor all those factors are linked to how the ai will respond so i’m not particularly victim blaming.

    I do have to ask why you bring up a news anchors fetish when we’re talking about the potential of an ai chat bot helping someone with suicidal issues. It really just sounds like you have a bias against ai and aren’t taking into account the potential of preventing suicide for a person when they have no one they feel comfortable to talk to.

    However it is important to know the context of these cases. Ai character creators are able to make ai characters (on platforms like character ai) and are able to direct the behavior of the ai to how they would want. Now Gemini and grok on the other hand, ai’s like that where no one knows where Google or Musk are guiding them i’l acknowledge might not be as trustworthy because on character ai the user knows up front how the ai is intended to behave by the creator. If the user want to make a modification to the ai’s behavior or vibe they can literally just tell the ai character how they want the ai to behave and it will adapt. So ai does certainly have the potential help people with their tramas through conversation.




  • I liked using open box, looks pretty decent and user friends from the get go and uses fewer resources then most desktop environments. If you do use open box I would use the tint2 task bar with it. I hadn’t explored window managers in some time but that’s what I would suggest for getting a tip top performance out of any device. (maybe not the max but pretty close, while looking more modern like.









  • To be fair I was talking about degrading from bad updates not just any update. Also, what I think is the most notable detail is that these physical key carts are treated as if you bought a game on the eshop, and downloads the game on your Switch. Not even onto the cart itself.

    Do these key carts even have any internal storage on it at all? Probably does, for confirmation purposes.

    It really is just e-waste. Because look at what Nintendo has degraded physical media into. Might as well just buy it on the eshop just so you can play the game without worrying abut having the cart in the console. Since the key cart is literally not much different from the digital.

    If they don’t restrict the key cart to one switch via a license, you might be right about selling digital games. Tbh I would prefer to sell a physical game, on the cart knowing that the game would always be available.
