They’re Ryzen processors with “AI” accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

“B-but our dollar is supposed to be the baseline, it’s supposed to be the one people compare with. They can’t do this to us!!!”

Kojima wanted out of the franchise after Solid 2 and pretty much every subsequent game since.

Konami are asses to work for and Kojima kept pushing the envelope for what they’d let him do for every game he made with them. MGS5 was where they drew the line in terms of scope and budget (MGS4 cost like $40m to make and god knows what MGS5 would have cost by the end of it) and aside from the fact that he didn’t get to finish it, he was probably more relieved than anything to be free of them.

At least Konami makes a decent slot/pokie machine nowadays. They give Aristocrat a run for their money.

Good to see nothing has changed from the days of the original Switch port of the first game. The one with trees that ran at such a low LOD that they just floated. The one that often ran at 180p. The one that they had to contract an outside dev just to remake it competently.

Does he have much experience with computers? Not sure if it’d be easier to set him up with something like ChimeraOS that just runs Steam and the game or a basic desktop environment so he can write stuff and browse the internet.

In the aged care home I work in, we’ve had a few who can work a smart phone but most can barely work their TV. Being into RC planes might work in his favour.

Eh, have you seen some of the bots that just repost reddit content verbatim? Some trash slips through the cracks.

We’ve got DVDFab bots here on Lemmy now?

Turns out those cameras at the self serve registers and customer info from online orders already collate plenty of sellable customer information and you don’t even need to tie a loyalty programme to them.

I can only seem to find this article coming out of News Corp outlets or Murdoch affiliated outlets. Let me know when someone reputable reports on this.

You’d be surprised how many Kiwis have fled to Brisbane. Not a recent trend by any means.

Account created yesterday. Bad AI generated article.

Clearly spam. Downboat, report, move on.

The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They’re just only on PC and nobody plays them.

You’re kissing girls, aren’t you?

He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she’s still there.

I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.

There already exist plugins for Peertube that allow cryptocurrency integration.

Setting up a Ko-fi is still the best option to get monetisation going on Fedi.

Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further “professionalise” itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.

Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I’ve found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it’s Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.

I’ve personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.
