The borderlands series kinda fell off a cliff when they forgot that it, at its core, was a big fuck-you to corpo bullshit. Literally was supposed to be a Mad Max style game. Its been dulled down to fart jokes and edgy humour and trying to capitalize on references and trends, with a shiny package and guns.
The cat is "out of the bag" on consuming meat and dairy, plenty of people manage to survive and thrive without em, without much effort at all. I'd personally rather use no LLM than use a local agentic model with poor ethics/environmental impact of its training, even if the latter is better than corpo offerings.
As I alluded to, I'm much happier to see people using local agentic models. Even more so if they happen to be something like Pleias' approach, with lots of transparency about the data they were trained on. There's still the environmental concerns behind the resources consumed for the training, but it is about as good as one could hope for at this point if one insists on using LLMs.
I dont think local agentic models address the ethical and environmental concerns I have with the training - but its better than the corporate offerings :)
The "there is no ethical consumption under captilaism" as a get out of jail free for trying to do better is just a nothing. We should all be, within our capabilities, trying to ensure we aren't at the very least direct financial supporters of evil companies.
Re: no trans person you know (...)
I'm a trans person I know, I go nuclear about jkr and harry potter, and I also go nuclear about the support and usage of meta products, purchasing of games from corps like actiblizz, ubi, ea, square, Microsoft, etc, Minecraft, discord, etc etc etc. I'm in the minority of the minority, sure. But most people don't have the emotional or mental energy to "fight that many battles" at once, much less to convince others to do so.
The fact that most people might stop at hating jkr and HP isn't evidence that they're wrong or something. Its just a symptom of how well known it is that jkr and her products harm trans people. Fewer people know (or, have internalised) that the other examples are bad.
I think people should feel shame if they're giving money to jkr or otherwise promoting her presence. I also think it would be good if more people were taking stands against more things, but jkr's a good start
Being left on read is the opposite of being left unread. Being left on read is when your messages have been read and left without reply. Messages being left unread is just when they don't get read.
It really is so telling when people who are in poly relationships cheat. Like. What the fuck. The door was wide open and you walked into the wall, then pulled the door closed on your own foot
Wow yeah my comment for sure was not clear about the type of following :') that sounds so bad

In fairness if I was followed by the person who follows women I would probably have cracked pretty good
Sometimes ya just know
Please don't call me man :)

Yes, it is the people who are against the corporate AI offerings who are guilty of groupthink, not me!
Its a bit better than that, its a bit closer to an all in one launcher/downloader client for all your games from (steam)/gog/epic/etc
o.O thanks
I read this as "defend yourself from capitalist / French / Nazi oppression" and it was fucking hilarious. Sorry to sidetrack.
I've managed to work away at my backlog, finally, because I stopped buying games willy nilly. It has been incredibly fulfilling. Try it!
How about not being an ableist shitstain
Even if you do like something, what about the 100+ games you already own that you want to play?
A few things
