It's time to play Lovely Lady RPG which my wife released yesterday https://das-kunstkollektiv.itch.io/llrpg π
It's very good and I'm proud of her for finishing it β€οΈ
A few years ago we were walking in the park and she was talking about wanting to make a specific kind of game but none of the visual novel engines around were good for it, so I told her I could make a "quick parser". Quickly decided to make it in a way that could be reused in other games and open source, and years later that engine is what you know now, but this game is where it all started

Seriously though: I want (okay, demand) a version of Firefox with the "AI chatbot" functionality removed. Not disabled. Removed. I want all code which is specifically designed to connect to OpenAI removed from my computer completely. I do not care if the vampires have promised not to suck my blood. I do not want the vampires in my house in the first place. https://mk.nyaa.place/notes/9xvolkux40ok0n1m
Don't mind me, just dialling #Picotron back to 1991 to work on my #Pico1k entry... π€π

I just learned this quite interesting but disappointed fact
the UN says
"We need $40 billion dollars per year to feed all of the worldβs hungry people and end global hunger by 2030. "
https://www.wfpusa.org/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-hunger/#:~:text=The%20U.N.%20World%20Food%20Programme%20feeds%20over%20100%20million%20of,end%20global%20hunger%20by%202030.
but then just one military budget (yes the biggest one)
$849.8 billion 2024

but the UK military budget is enough at
Β£54 billion

feeding the world not bombing it would be an absolute amazing achievement and legacy

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.
What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?
I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?
Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?
As part of a test run for Australia's corporate regulator, AI was used to summarise submissions made by the public.
The trial found that AI performed worse in every metric compared with humans. Assessors suggested AI would make more work for people, not less. https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/
