Honest question for white people that don't consider themselves racist:
White nationalists have been vocal about their attacks on DEI. These are literally the same people that talk about Charlottesville, Jan 6th, and ethnic cleansing.
They've laid out exactly how they plan to destroy DEI.
Make false claims that DEI is about giving unqualified Black people an unfair advantage
Work with racist politicians to use this as a pretext to make all DEI programs illegal.
You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!
@RickiTarr This minimum wage question is loaded either way you answer it, so I had to pick neutral. Obviously we need a minimum wage, but one that is too low (like it is now) DOES do more harm than good. But abolishing it would be worse.
Okay, picking up from my video game post yesterday, I'm curious:
When you play video games, rpgs, ect, where you get to choose your character, do you tend to choose a character of the same sex, the opposite sex, non-binary, anthropomorphic, or a mysterious 4th option?
If you want to share screenshots of character builds I would enjoy that!
US patent office and #Sony can both go fuck themselves. This dangerous precedent set by #Nintendo and #Sega is only continuing on a worse and worse path.
Make no mistake - this is a CONSCIOUS ATTACK on #indiedev and smaller #gamedev to completely push them out of the market.
If you're doing a lot of work in C/C++/Rust consider using sccache to cache compilations. It's easy to set up and will save you a lot of time and a huge amount of power.
Anyone knowledgeable on #msx coding ( @reidrac ) know about the VDP acid test?
I find it hard to believe many games conform to this standard - an extra call and return per vdp register write at minimum seems absurd.
There are a couple things like this in the technical handbook that don't appear to have actually been implemented in practice, or abandoned in favor of better code.
Still on my Ys Memories of Celceta trip so when I was shopping for harder to find, but cheap Visual Novels and RPGs, I had to add this one to the list.
€33 brand new, so I'll call that a steal. 🥰
My friend made a tool that can help you randomly generate a number of styles of (very good!) music of hand made loops, royalty-free for you, and includes an easy to use tracker.
@froyok fascinating thread. I vote for make your own tooling, as if it doesn't exist, someone else would probably use it too (spoken as someone who has written many tools that I doubt anybody used)
I feel there has to be a way of training neural networks to recognise the influence of their training data on the output.
This would probably include training a complementary indexing network + database that would then ”reverse-training” resolve and offer at some predetermined accuracy the #copyright-viable sources for each generated #aiart
I need some help though. A proof would show the companies know it can be done, but they just don’t want to.
@gimulnautti considering all of the Metadata that goes into every single pixel this isn't beyond the realm of possibility at all, but it will never happen even if you perfect it. Nobody is going to willingly prove that they plagiarized all of their art.
