  • Songs of the Past is now available to wishlist ahead of its 2027 release. It will take players to the brand new realm of Letten — an idyllic land of rural tradition that hides a dark secret just below the surface.
  • Remastered — a free upgrade for existing The Witcher 3 owners on qualifying platforms — brings a slew of upgrades and enhancements to visuals, performance, gameplay, and more when it launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • The Witcher 3 is coming to two brand new platforms. A native version of Remastered will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, and through a new partnership between CD PROJEKT RED and Blizzard Entertainment, Battle.net — both on September 29.
  • All owners of The Witcher 3 can now play to two acclaimed expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — at no additional cost.

FOSS and Artificial Intelligence

preview

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not an AI buff. I use it (unpaid) mostly for a search aid or assistance with setting up services in my homeserver (new to homelabbing) when I get stuck, as I don’t have an unlimited amount of time to devote to it due to life obligations.

My question is: Do you feel it is ethical and/or moral to use AI to develop FOSS?

I’m genuinely torn on this issue. Part of me feels it’s counterintuitive, yet the another part of me knows the probability of it going away are slim to none and using it to develop FOSS is a way to “use it against itself”, for lack of a better term.

This is my first post on Lemmy. I’m asking to please keep it cordial. I’m not looking for an elitist lecture. I genuinely want to know the community’s thoughts.

P.S. I’ve toyed with local models, but I don’t have the hardware to make them remotely useful. I’m still learning and tweaking to see what can be achieved on limited hardware.

German carmaker Volkswagen to step up pace of cuts amid protests

preview

At the core VW brand, an agreement was reached at the end of 2024 to reduce overcapacity at German sites, lower labour costs and bring development costs down to a competitive level.

Schäfer said around 16,300 redundancies have been finalized in Germany, with a total of just under 28,800 agreed upon by 2030, close to the target of 35,000. He called the developments “good progress,” but warned that the measures are insufficient.

The Latin American dub of 'Ghost In The Shell' was censored and all country names were removed

Xcancel doesn’t work again, I posted the whole tweet here so you don’t have to open twitter.

the tweet only mentions Israel, but in reality all country names were removed like the Japanese raw, only the manga has the real names

United States changed to MAG Union

USSR changed to Volgarena, this name is directly inspired by the Volga River

Israel changed to Ghorantl (or Guranto), made-up word combining “Golan Heights” with “Toru” (to seize).

Syria changed to Mesamia, inspired by Mesopotamia

The mention of Israel in the Latin Spanish dub of The Ghost in the Shell (2026) has been removed…

A few days ago, a clip from the Latin Spanish dub went viral, where Israel was mentioned directly. Fans pointed out that this version was the only one that kept this reference present in the manga, while other versions, including the Japanese one, mentioned the fictional country Ghorantl.

However, after the clip went viral, the dub would have been modified. Now, instead of mentioning Israel directly, expressions like “they” and “other nations” are used.

What do you all think?

Day 793 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

preview

Today‘s game is Fallout 3. I really probably shouldn’t have started another game while I was finishing the DLC of Assassin’s Creed 3 and Pokemon Platinum. But I also really wanted to play Fallout 3 recently for some reason. I may not finish it, but that’s fine. I got my fix at least.

I did a fully unarmed build this time. I usually go for guns but this time I wanted to use my fists to punch stuff. It’s lead to some pretty good results, like in the opening it’s really easy to knock out NPCs you aren’t supposed to. For example, Butch here I pummeled into the floor before doing the G.O.A.T.

First thing I did was of course head for Megaton. I disarmed the bomb and collected the house, then got fresh on the trail of Liam Neeson. I stopped for a moment to get a picture to show off my guy, Player Name, and went on my way.

My quest to find Qui-Gon Jinn took me into the metro. I rooted around down there for a while and pummeled some Mole Rats to death. I was about to heal up and head out to find the Player’s dad again, and then the worst tragedy to befall someone in a Bethesda game struck: my game crashed.

I took that as a sign to take a breather. I had been playing for about 2-3 hours now and I should have been getting some air (plus taking care of some work I had to do). Tomorrow I’m gonna try and clear out the DLC of AC3, as I do actually want to keep playing this. It’s been a blast and I know if I add something else to my plate something will get dropped which I want to avoid.

Private DNS (with ad blocking)

preview

I responded to someone in comments on a post that may not get as much visibility, and wanted to share something that might help some others who are new or unfamiliar.

I referenced Quad9 DNS as probably one of the best private DNS you can use, Swiss based, no log, no tracking, no data to sell, etc. They also implement DNSSEC, DoH, DoT, QUIC, ECS (which you may or may bot want), malware blocking, content filtering, and maybe something else I’m forgetting.

Many DNS sinkhole apps, OSes, or systems can actually utilize Quad9 for your resolver while those systems also block ads. Below is my functional list of systems that I’m aware of, though I haven’t tested everything. I believe all are considered FOSS, too. If you don’t have a spare Raspberry Pi laying around, try running in HomeAssistant, Yunohost, ZimaOS (previously CasaOS), or others.

DNS sinkhole (Adblocking) apps:

  1. Pihole
  2. eBlocker
  3. Technitium
  4. AdGuard
  5. uBlock Origin

Feel free to comment and add your own I’m maybe not aware of. I’m no software engineer, but I can read through some code, though not an expert, nor have combed through these personally. Usually I’ve tested/run at the recommendation of others over the years before my ban on Reddit (for shitting on AI).

Hope this helps!!

The Wirule

preview

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: Ok, so you’ve spent your career television without AI, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had that tool to solve those thorny problems…

SIMON: What?

SHAPIRO: … Or saying…

SIMON: You imagine that?

SHAPIRO: … Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don’t think AI can challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you’re trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you’re stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an AI and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I’d rather put a gun in my mouth.
