You like space dogfights? Rogue-lites? Fishing, mining, player housing? How about Guitar Hero, space shanties, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? Let's not forget the dating sim. Oh yeah, you can add a birthing QTE rhythm minigame too, because why not. I'm waiting for the inevitable sex update, cause y'know, we've gotten this far without imploding, so it might as well happen. Like what the fuck even is this game anymore. Nobody knows! Not even the devs themselves. It's all held together by dreams, duct tape and vibes at this point, but somehow it works.

Hop on Warframe, we have:

Bionicle meets Neon Genesis Evangelion

12 yr olds turning the geneva conventions into a checklist

your trans robot mom who has DID

old man yaoi

a traumatized group of bisexuals fighting the Y2K bug

an autistic child and his fidget spinner solos god

a fish voiced by Astarion

workers' union committing terrorism against capitalists

incel who tries to destroy the sun because he fumbled a bad bitch (she took the kids)

a boyband that you have to slay for weapons

and an eldritch entity beyond human comprehension that can only be defeated by the power of love

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.

The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.

So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.

OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.

"my mother's skirt from the 1970's", a mixed media zine

I made this zine at Antifestival 2022, while visiting "A worn world" installation/community space by Deufert & Plischke collective. Visitors were invited to explore their relationship to clothing, textiles and fabric, and to create a zine about an important piece of clothing. I of course chose the topic a skirt that belonged to my late mother, even though I have worn it before her passing too. It's always been my favorite skirt.

Bazzite laptop (Timaeus)

CachyOS desktop (Maruki)

I swear to gd it feels like all my games run better on Linux through the Proton compatibility layer than native on Windows

ON TOP OF ALL THIS: I have clocked around 35 hours in Hades 2. I have played at least 30 of those hours on my Odin 2 Portal, which is an android device by using an app that emulates Linux and then the Proton layer and it runs at a rock solid 60FPS. Valve is making Windows unnecessary for gaming across PC and mobile. That's fucking batshit.

Sleep Mode finally works again on both my devices. I haven't used Sleep Mode since Win11 happened bc it broke it on both my machines. Linux fixed it.

CachyOS has a weird glitch where if it just booted or came out of sleep, it doesn't register my keyboard unless I unplug-replug. I have to find a fix.

Before I flipped to Linux, I had used Rainmeter, Windhawk, Startallback, and other programs to basically hack the Windows desktop environment to do what I wanted, and it was still lovely but broken twice a month bc if any one plugin needed an update, it'd all fail. Linux, on the other hand, just has Desktop Environments. You can have multiple installed at a time and you choose when you log-in which you want. I really like KDE Plasma but maybe you'd prefer GNOME. A lot of people like Cinnamon for how it feels like classic Windows but with a lot of themeing options. There's also Pantheon and LXQT for lightweight systems or Cosmic (which is PopOS's branch of GNOME I believe, VERY pretty but still needs some work IMO) or Budgie or Deepin

Lemme put it like this, I searched for a quick list of major desktop environments to remind myself of a few and one commenter I saw was complaining how much they wanted to like GNOME but resented having to install an extension just to have more docks. Bro is complaining about something Windows people have to hack into their UX in the first place.

I really like the immutable system concept of CachyOS/Arch Linux/Bazzite, especially for gaming.

Lemme expand on that because I first balked at it so hard because it reminded me of Apple's approach to software. Longtime listeners know I fucking hate Apple with a fire of a 1000 suns. One of my many reasons is the way MacOS and iOS feel like the rental car of devices. Maybe it looks shiny but your options for customization are limited and you are not supposed to have control over the user experience (UX).

I've looked into rooting an iPad to get control of it. I say this as someone who owns more jailbroken devices than not; it's difficult and I'm unsure the final result is even worth it. And obviously it voids the warranty and can result in repercussions from Apple, which is fucked if you have purchased shit from them.

But anyway. An Immutable Linux system is (to my current understanding) not the Apple Walled Garden but a house with a locked door that you have the key to. All of the parts of a computer that make it functional and work, the "core" that keeps it running are in that locked room.

When you install a program or a video game, you are not putting it in the locked room. Instead, this metaphorical house makes a new room and installs the thing there. And in there is a copy of everything the program needs to run.

You know how when you install a program on Windows, it puts some files in the C drive but it puts the settings in the Documents and then it puts its configuration files in AppData and it probably also installs some dependencies and flips a few things in the Registry.

With an Immutable System like Bazzite or Arch, no it doesn't. Instead, it gets it's own room and all that shit goes into that room. It doesn't mess with the locked room at all.

This means all changes to the computer are isolated to a container and will not fuck up the OS itself. If the OS gets fucked up, it's probably the user poking around in the locked room without being clear on what they need in there. You're allowed in! But should only go in if you are certain what you're doing. Hell, Arch Linux explicitly states it's intended for, "anyone with a do-it-yourself attitude who is willing to read the documentation, and solve their own problems."

There's a few oddities I don't understand. Like, if everything is in containers, how do those containers communicate? I know they do, given the minimal issues I've had, but how, yanno? Also, by design, these containers have superfluous information. Every game I install has it's OWN c_drive folder and it's own AppData folder if I want to tinker or install a mod. Does this eat up extra space on the storage device? I mean, I accept that compromise for the stability, I'm just curious.
