Hello! I live in Czechia and I love computers, homesteading and teaching :D
you can find out more about me in my digital garden: https://garden.kynzo.org/
I don’t think you know much about the steam deck haha
It is an actual computer with Linux on it, you can even install windows if you’re dumb enough to do that. You do not need a modchip to pirate or mod games on it. You do it like you would on any other Linux pc with wine.
was gonna recommend considering piracy, but since its against the rules I will respect that and recommend some of my favorite games i play on the SD and my PC instead:
sounds like a great start :D one day that raspberry is gonna be your tv’s brain instead of a little server and you’ll look back with tears in your eyes and proceed to play a movie on it streaming from a huge server that cost you way more then you’d ever admit to anyone…
How exactly are you so confident in that? AI is trained on insanely large quantities of data. And of course they would try their best to hide these practices.
And even if you are right, you are still missing the fact that they can do it in the future, laws can change too if you truly believe they are following those.
The point is, a company known to not care about it’s users and only chasing profits has full unrestricted access to your data. It is foolish to believe they will never misuse it and will always follow the law.
Bill gates clearly does not care about the law, as he appears in the Epstein files many times if you need more proof.
You are still missing the point, yes that would be all true but only if you can prove that they are violating anything… Which you can’t since it is closed sourced.
Microsoft as every company like this makes money from selling your data and manipulating you.
I don’t think you understand how closed source software works. What you just said is exactly true with the only lie being that they get caught. There is no way to prove that they are doing this and that’s exactly why I’m sure that they are…
Besides, openai and many others have violated the copyright laws many times and faced no real consequences, do you really think this legal system is on your side?
I see many great suggestions here so I am only gonna add one thing to them: consider self hosting if you care about privacy and owning your own work. Something like nextcloud has all of the features of google drive/docs built in and much more and these days really isn’t that hard to expensive to setup.
you mean the one with AI baked into its core? the one from a company that does not respect yours or anyone elses privacy what so ever? yeah iam sure they will make sure they dont steal op’s work :D
I get that and account for that, but by no means I don’t believe those people’s opinions are justified. I won’t respect that opinion.
You seem to miss my point. When people misuse the word pedophile (what they usually mean is predator) they make it harder for pedophiles to get the help they need and thus creating more predators. Of course I’m not defending them here, it is entirely their own fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that misusing this word and shaming them for feelings that they don’t act upon is making it worse.
Putting a group of people based on what they say in one bag and just having a negative reaction towards it not based on the actual contents of what was said is not rightful at all in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I get it. But that does not justify it and won’t stop me from trying to change the world for the better.
To give an example it is like if someone got mad at me for saying that homelessness is a problem and it sucks just because radical communists say that as well… and yes I know that this is very much the case for many people, but I have zero respect for such people. (to clarify obviously I am not a communist and I do no agree with it. In fact my country used to be under the rule of communism and it was not great. I live in Czechia)
You seem very wise and it’s a shame to see you gave up on things like this. One thing is to not care another is to completely give up in despair…
For me it is not about the word, it is about the impact on the world it has when the word isn’t used correctly. Quite literally there is more kids being abused because people misuse this word. And I would personally feel sick giving up on that (not trying to say you should, I get that everyone can’t fight every battle). So my only ask is even if you don’t want to fight some specific battle, don’t stop others from doing so :D
Exactly. Another great example from my country is Milada Horáková who was a member of a movement against nazis and later against communists and was murdered by communists.
quite off topic here but i feel the need to clarify. Pedophilia is not evil, a predator is. Now please don’t jump to conclusions here, it is a very misrepresented topic due to its offensive nature. But pedophile is just someone that is attracted, which doesn’t always mean they are predators. More then often it is not there fault (they can just be born like that or it can be caused by trauma), of course they should seek professional help but calling them evil before they do anything makes them not come out and not seek the help they need, thus causing more predators to exist. And just because I’m on thin ice here I will clarify again, I do NOT support pedophilia, I just don’t like when people say pedophile when they mean predator. It is causing the problem to be worse. Hope someone takes this to heart and next time uses the right word, because words we use matter.
workstation: 8 hours, 23 minutes home(i actually have it at my work)server: 5 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 53 minutes
Well what if i want something like a console but hate the big tech and dont enjoy someone spying on me? this is the only option. What if i want a console that i can modify and use as a pc or a server if i damn want to? this is the only option. What if i want a true console like experience but want to play a title that just isnt on any consoles? this once again is the only option. This thing will have so many usecases, just maybe a little specific ones… :D
“Devko, poseru ti kozy” a reference to a start of a czech song :D
From what I’ve seen replacing the SSD really ain’t that hard. But the SD card speeds are not that bad for many lighter games.
