I don’t think it’s in any way limited to the EU lol

Lol I remember when my mom took my wifi adapter on my 360, remembered I had an old laptop my grandma gave me to pull her files off and learned how to bridge a network connection that day xD

I think Lemmy in particular has a bad problem of assumed group think, it makes sense since most of us left prior platforms for freedom and decentralization reasons, stuff like boycotting major companies, switching to Linux, etc all of that is much less prevalent then some very vocal people on Lemmy think.

I’m glad you had a different experience, but I see AI use increasing all around me by otherwise nontechy people, whereas I get on Lemmy and you know what the majority of the opinion is here.

No, it’s “you all seem to think everyone else also hates AI, but they don’t” it was directly in response to the comment “no one wants AI slop.”

I’m not even advocating, I’m just trying to inform you people who are clearly in a bubble thinking everyone hates AI, they don’t and that became crystal clear at my recent family gatherings as the one tech guy.

Its a leap to say “nvidia AI support on Linux is bad” when you mean a very particular set of circumstances (which don’t apply to someone who would just be getting into it as they’re using consumer grade hardware) causes issues.

I have a 3080ti and run 8b - 12b all in VRAM just fine, which is what a majority of people getting into it would be doing as well, again to my point about pulling an 18 wheeler trailer with a horse, you’ve got worse problems then nvidia on Linux (if you’re trying to run a 70b model on consumer hardware).

No shit lmao, are you going to tell me a horse can’t pull an 18 wheeler trailer next?

Ah yes hand waive away everything you don’t like as idiots who deny vaccines and the moon landing.

I am talking about normal normies, not fringe conspiracy normies.

Y’all don’t realize how much of a bubble you’re in on the anti - AI front, the vast majority of normies are catching on and use genAI

Disagree on Linux nvidia support, it works fine

Great guides https://www.simplehomelab.com/

They wouldn’t, they use the Xbox layout as that is definitely the most prevalent layout for PCs

Even though I don’t use the extra stuff in nextcloud, it runs perfectly fine on my hardware and is great as a replacement for onedrive functionality

I am not sure how it works with authentik and the navidrome mobile apps, but I with Authelia and Immich, I basically had to add a header bypass to the traefik config and in the immich mobile app, maybe something similar is possible?

Lenovo is generally cheaper then Asus, but they both have high end brands for gaming, Legion vs ROG

It was teased during the last season

I’m sorry and appreciate your nuanced response, thank you for taking the time to explain.

For my part, I played generally low chaos just because I found it very fun to blink in, knock out a guard on their own, blink away and end up with all the guards in piles up in the rafters, on the chandelers, stuffed into corners of closets etc lmao. I haven’t replayed 1 in a couple years but I think all the main targets have non-lethal as an option and generally require some set up to achieve which gives more time for world exploring. There are also a lot of powers that work very well with non-lethal and more stealth oriented play throughs.

Like the other commentor pointed out, the guard and good amount of the general folk are not really enemies because they are “bad”, they’re simply manipulated by propaganda and think Corvo is the one who murdered the empress in cold blood. So from a bystanders prospective, the boatman in this case, he’s seeing a high chaos player murder a bunch of at least morally neutral guards and is understandably disgusted. For high chaos you’d definitely have to kill a good percentage of the guards as, from my understanding, you can still kill every target and achieve a low chaos ending. Corvo is given the choice to do what’s needed, but at a point it’s more like a slaughter and the characters are effected by it. Not to mention murdering the majority of the police and leadership of an empire is going to throw an already strained empire into… Chaos has. Not enough guards left to keep the peace. It felt less to me (in high chaos runs) like the game is chastizing me, and more like understandable consequences to my annihilation tactics lol, more rats because of all the bodies, characters becoming disillusioned and turning away, the guards absolutely know I’m a monster now, etc…

You indicated you felt the tools you were given pushed you more towards a lethal playstyle, however what about the non lethal tools you were given? There’s a stun mine, sleep bolts, ability to choke guards unconcious, several powers as I mentioned… Plus you get to choose what you upgrade, most runs I didn’t upgrade the lethal options much at all. 🤷

Idk, I went in expecting a stealth game and it overdelivered and had the bonus of also being open to a less stealth oriented call of duty or dark souls style kill all in your way option with a bunch of completely different powers I didn’t use on my stealth run.

Reading your experience it feels like you might have gone in with a different mindset or maybe misundertstood something about how you can play the game and that it clouded your experience with a game I so thoroughly enjoyed, It’s one of those I go back and play every few years.

It’s silly that I pushed so much on it because of course in the grand scheme it doesn’t matter lol its just a videogame, but eh.

Edit: My wife pointed out to me there’s some additional moral points around how the Outsider basically tempts you with power just to see if you’ll succumb to the “easy route” with the lethal powers. It is kind of the point that it’s harder to do/be morally good in ethically complex situations.

I do think one aspect is frequency, if it’s like a one-off, hilarious and unexpected IMO (prior to now already seen this meme it wouldn’t be as funny).

If it happens more… Yeah extremely annoyed real quick.

Lol fair enough, idk like you called the boatman traitorous, view it from his angle, you would have to have gone around murdering a LOT of people for him to turn his back on you. The whole plot is about the govt being suoplanted and you’re supposed to be part of the “good guys” yet it doesn’t feel that you’re (a player with high chaos) is being a “good guy” I can totally get why he’d be like… Dude in done with helping you, this isn’t right what you’re doing

Makes some sense, I would assume just a receipt isn’t the only way to track orders like this (it gets fed to other systems too, again from my experience working in a role like this) I can’t imagine the impact is more then a slight annoyance unless you have a really old system.

Also restaurant owners suck, massively underpay their workers and treat them like they’re disposable, I think they can take the 3 cent hit this amount of receipt paper actually took.
