Is that all there was to it?

We need to stop defending this sort of behavior.

I wasn't.

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power in c/technology@lemmy.world

implying threads about other issues are less serious.

I never did this.

You can believe both are bad and complain about both while acknowledging they're separate things.

No it isn't at all. Image to image "AI" is totally different from "AI" that denies insurance claims. Different techniques, different effects, different everything. (Not saying either are okay or not, just that they're different.)

Not a Russian bot. Down voted it because GitHub is still a poor choice to host open source on nowadays. It's like someone saying "It's stupid that such and such switched to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels because they believe the world is flat. The world is not flat!" It's really missing the forest for the trees.

Moving off of GitHub is still good, even if you believe their reasoning behind their reasons is incorrect.

I'm using goober specifically because it's not insulting. It's light hearted.

You goober, even if you're planning on offing yourself you can still die randomly before that.

The goal would be to spend my last dollar prior to ending up in a hospital where I die and the medical bills go poof.

As an American, the Japanese market actually prefers bad games. /s

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker.

The federation itself is a deal breaker

Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?

Because the person they're responding to said the lack of the optional feature was a deal breaker for them on a different piece of software.

For me it was seeing people say that the character mechanics of Total War: Three Kingdoms were like a watered down version of CK. I hadn't heard of it before. CK2 was the latest at the time and the UI in it is awful. Luckily CK3 came out soon.
