Oh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.
The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn't confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it's talking about Element (formerly Riot). Like, the article says this in pretty simple English, I'm genuinely confused how you could've missed it:
In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I've been told.
They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and ~~bullshit generation~~ AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.
You'd really think people would look at the state of the world and try to wash their hands of responsibility, not take credit. Just how out of touch is Mr child exploitation.
It's a small comfort that even Twitter is giving this take the reception it deserves.
Comparing women to a chatbot is definitely derogatory to the chatbot from capital-G Gamers, so even the most exaggerated joke is running hard against Poe's law.
Fallout 3. The criticism is absolutely fair*, but it was the first RPG I ever played and I'm still very fond of it.
* I never got the 'metros are hard to navigate' criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.
The Luddites weren't replaced either though? Factories still needed labour and much of what the Luddites were rallying against was the idea of being pressed into prison-like factory work. Much of how gen AI is being applied is to deskill workers so they can be exploited more in much the same way that machines like the power loom was used to deskill textile workers.
Damn, you're fast. The upgrade itself went fine, but Hetzner decided to throttle the speed to our backup to <3MB, so pushing the DB backup took an hour. We're currently doing the pictrs backup and that's going to take forever.
Also, the backend version number seems to have messed up? Not sure why that is, but should be an easy fix once I track it down.
Edit: version number seems to be derived from the git tag. Doesn't seem worth to bring it down again to fix it.
I upgraded https://sappho.social/ without issue, but now I've said that something is definitely going to go wrong. Sod's law and all that.
It's happening at 10 PM BST, like in the title?
The one I've heard the most buzz about is Rue Valley, but Travelling at Night does look interesting. Thanks telling me about it.
I just hope one of the 'spiritual successors' is able to live up to it. I don't want to imaging going my whole life and not experiencing something like DE again.
Now you're just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn't 'just quote something', I quoted the above article.
But fine:
