The beauty is when those companies run out of human training data and start training on AI slop, just to generate even more AI slop.

This is probably already happening though.

It depends on the country you are living in. There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet.

Manjaro was quite messy last time I tried it a couple of years ago.

Yes, so pretty much they don’t want to be held responsible. And the government is bending over to comply with the tech bros.

But how would they know I have been truthful about my age? I mean I am never putting my real age when registering on websites.

Why do they need the age after all. What are authorities going to do with it?

That’s a great question. I like the concept of more stable OS and I played a bit with NixOS in the past but ultimately decided that it is too much of a hassle to learn Nix to use it and decided to try Bluefin. I am actually overall content as I was able to install the missing packages either in Toolbox/Distrobox or using homebrew.

By the way I have actually found a way, and rebased my OS to another immutable flavor. I know that’s more of a workaround.

I have Fallout 4 but not the mods, plus 200Gb of free space is kind of rich, so I would better know how well it runs and if it is really worth it.

Is Fallout London easy to mod on Steam? I read that it requires some extra step, compared to GOG? And since I have the Deck only, do you know if it is easy to install it on the Deck?

It doesn’t help also that new GPUs and now even disk drives and RAMs are ridiculously expensive.

I am sure the end goal of corpos is to turn this into another subscription service.

To be honest we desperately need competition in this sector.

Yes, I agree, I have KCD for a bit and never made it past the prologue. I started playing it again after I played the second part.

Kingdom Come Deliverance, I decided to finish it, after playing the second game in the free weekend and also bought the DLCs on the cheap.

I am thinking of buying the KCD2 during the winter sale and finish that one too.

True, maybe the best way then is to expose them only within your Wireguard network.

Thanks to both of you, my same thoughts, but I also wanted to hear an outside perspective as I am not so well versed in IPv6. But it sounds reassuring. Shall I also consider exposing some HTTP/S services for media over IPv6 is also relatively safe, as long as I have MFA etc?

AI should also be taxed proportionally then. And they should be liable and not exempt of copy rights infringements.

I believe most of the companies are doing it to inflate their share prices.

I hope I am wrong but this also sounds like an incoming AI slop.

Same. That’s for me a red flag that a company took the enshittification path and things will get progressively worse.

Plus I would rather support an open source project that benefits the whole community than a greedy company who is trying to milk their customers.

You also need to change the devices browsers, extensions and timezones to stay anonymous or buy a device and set the most common fingerprint settings, so it is harder for those companies to track you down. It is a slippery slope, and you can check your browser fingerprint and avoid adding unique settings, extensions or anything that can help them to track you.
