    Windblown shows how good roguelikes can be with friends
  • The idea is that "roguelike" = a game like Rogue, which according to some people, requires checking most if not all of the boxes including ASCII, proc-gen, perma-death, turn-based, ... while the term "rougelite" is less strict. But I think we're past the point of that distinction being adopted into mainstream.

    I'm banned from a server I've never heard of because someone I've never heard of reported me to myself for posting a picture of my own grocery store to my own subreddit.
  • You'd want all of them. The community moderators receiving the report is obvious. The instance admins get notified because all content that goes through their server is copied and stored on them.

    Also I heard that if mods take care of the report before their admins see it, the report doesn't go through anymore, to cut down on the amount they have to deal with? Not sure on how that works.

    Querying the Godot documentation website? Is that possible?
  • https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs

    This is the source for Godot's documentation. You could clone the repo (in reST format) or download one of the releases (in HTML format) offline, so you wouldn't even need to query anything online.

    Don’t Ignore This Simple Tip: NSA Says Rebooting Can Protect Your Phone
  • My uneducated guess is, some threats will burrow themselves in active memory but have no way of persisting beyond a reboot. Or perhaps it just shuts down background software you don't need that could be vulnerable.

    I'm banned from a server I've never heard of because someone I've never heard of reported me to myself for posting a picture of my own grocery store to my own subreddit.
  • Do the admins of that site receive a report if one of their users reports something?

    Reports go to four places:

    • The community moderators.
    • The admins of the instance the community is hosted in. (lemmy.sdf.org)
    • The admins of the instance the reporting user is from. (discuss.tchncs.de)
    • The admins of the instance the reported user is from. (also lemmy.sdf.org in this case)

    So yeah, the admins of discuss.tchncs.de acted in this case. Why? I'm not sure.

    Are there any decent, smaller, #Queer-friendly #Mastodon instances that don't block #Threads?
  • The real question is not what the algorithm pushes to you, but whether their moderation actually bans bigots and removes their posts. Any other instance would lose their "right" to federate with a queer-friendly instance if they didn't do that, so why would Threads get an exception?

    Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be
  • ECS already makes it a hundred times easier for me to conceptualize game mechanics, modify and extend them. Giving AI the ability the ability to create data separate from systems that use them will make it much easier for it to build a game. I don't believe for a second it will be able to write functioning object-oriented game code for example. It will likely be best if it avoided coding via a text-based language altogether, and use visual scripting or another system based on chaining logic blocks together. But that still counts as the "system" part of ECS.

    Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be
  • There is a possibility something like this will be possible in the future, but it's not going to be an achievement of AI, it's largely going to be the achievement of regular developers creating a general-purpose game engine that can be used to put together a game block by block, which can be utilized by both human game designers and AI. (Likely to better effect by the former.) I can imagine Entity Component Systems will play a big part of that.

    One of the biggest blockers for AI making games is going to be testing it to select for better performance. With text it's relatively easy to see if some text an AI produced is plausible. Images are also plentiful, but that's a lot more subjective. With both of these it would also not take a massive amount of time to add a human element. It's quick to check if a paragraph or image looks like it is a good response to the input promt. A game, however? How long do you need to play it to see if it's fun? At best, perhaps, you can write an AI to control a bot character to see if it's technically playable.

    I don't want to even think about the electricity that wlll be wasted training such models.

    TIL Gravity is not about mass pulling other mass. It's mass bending ~~time~~ spacetime that makes other mass get closer
  • Indeed, it's a neat way to visualize gravity, but that's it. It lacks any sort of explanation of why masses appear to be pulled towards one another. (I will point to the other person in this thread saying it "explains gravity with gravity".) This is why I think the metaphor you mentioned detracts from the original video.

    Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’
  • I don't think that's how it works and it would likely not be legal. By explicitly blocking Threads, you make a big statement about not wanting your instance's posts to show up there. Also from a technical standpoint, I don't think a "middle-man" instance will push posts from another instance to a third one. You'd have to explicitly scrape data that's not available via the API. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Is there a way to make TNT explode if the "tnt explodes" option has been turned off?
  • Actually this is pretty easy. First of all you got to get a stack of exactly 1 TNT and place it down where you want it to explode. Be careful not to put anything else in the slot the TNT was in because that's now shadow-linked with the TNT you placed. You need to somehow get a redstone signal to activate in the same tick as you punch the TNT block. It'll take a bunch of tries. Be careful not to pick up the dropped TNT item, or it'll go into the shadowed slot. That part is pretty random. Next open up the chat and type "BOOOM!" or similar. It helps if you copied the text beforehand so you only have to paste it in. Log out of the server and never come back because you're a bad person.

    I don't see a way to block individual users' posts from showing up in my feeds. There is no "Block" button on any user's page like there is for communities. For some reason I thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was just using another frontend? I see some users are blocked when checking my settings. I made sure to disable uBlock Origin to check if it could be an element hiding rule.

    For the record these aren't rule breaking users or anything, but instead bots that automatically post things, some of them pulling links straight from reddit. I prefer my Lemmy being populated by humans.

    Thank you!

    Create Aeronautics, along with other mods from the "Create Simulated" family, are addons for Create that push the mod into the realm of physics. This video talks about the state of the mods, what to expect, and some teaser clips and pictures.

    There was also a blog post by the creators themselves that contains some of the same information and teasers, if you prefer that format.
