on Level 5 boss admits using AI for Professor Layton, Yo-Kai Watch reveals in c/games@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
One of my biggest issues is that every face seems to have had a different “style,” a different design aesthetic.
There are several races in Hyrule, sure, whatever. But Zelda is wildly different than Link who is wildly different than Ganon or Impa, and they all look different than the townsfolk.
They wanted to make things “realistic” with this doll aesthetic thing, but as you try to be more realistic when all the faces look different that stands out.

That Zelda sure is terrifying.

I haven’t run into any game breaking bugs on PS5 (Pro, at least). It’s unfortunate that it seems like PC has had the brunt of the bugs.
I’ve definitely seen some shadow bugs and texture things, but the game runs smooth for the most part otherwise.
I hope they get a chance to fix the issues.

on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
Heh, mine is a 2019 Crosstrek, so, yeah, I understand.

So glad my 2019 car is a standard but still has CarPlay.
Like, CarPlay is about the most “smart” feature I need/want. I just want a good map and the ability to play podcasts and listen to music easily. That’s it.
Since it’s a standard the car couldn’t get any of the “smart” features I didn’t want anyway.
I’ll drive the car, thanks.

on Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonical in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
I got the “intellectually challenged” comment from a reply on this very post.
I’m not going to say all Linux people are mean or anything, but there’s absolutely a “I use Linux and therefore I’m better” mentality that floats around, and even some “I use the BETTER distro (read: whatever that person happens to like) so I’m even BETTER.”
And I like Linux! Two of my machines in my house are Linux computers. But I do think some Linux folks like to smell their own farts.

on Grand Theft Auto 6 leaker says they won't stop until Rockstar and Take-Two apologize for 'anti-consumerism' and make a 'concrete commitment to do better' in c/games@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026

Linux nerds: “Ahh, you use Windows! You should be using Linux like me!” pushes up glasses
Some person: “Oh, OK. Ubuntu looks nice.”
LN: “NO NOT THAT ONE. That one is for losers or intellectually challenged people! You must like the one I like!” pushes glasses up into brain
(And we wonder why people don’t take the time to switch. Some of you guys are toxic.)

on Week of action planned against license plate readers in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Here’s a good article this week on just one reason why Flock is terrible:
www.wired.com/story/flock-safety-os-investigate/
Flock Has a Powerful New AI Tool for Police. We Got Its Code
Flock’s surveillance cameras have already sparked outrage. WIRED reconstructed its next-generation AI system, already in use by some police, to confirm it goes much further than tracking license plates.
VEHICLE SURVEILLANCE GIANT Flock Safety has told the public for years that its technology “cannot recognize, identify, or track individuals.” It has now built a system that does both, an artificial intelligence tool for police that can identify drivers and track vehicles by their patterns of movement alone, WIRED has learned.
Drawing on a network of cameras that logs the movements of drivers in more than 6,000 communities, the tool can pick out potential witnesses by how often their cars pass through a neighborhood, or surface a driver’s “associates” from the cameras they pass together. Because the system also reaches police case files, 911 dispatch logs, and commercial identity records, those plates can be turned into names, home addresses, and relatives. It can search for people in an area drawn on a map based on nothing more than a physical description.

on Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees: while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
Bosses are in their 50s, but they came from a giant corporation then decided to make their own business.

Unfortunately no.
Benefits are actually kinda bad, honestly. We have insurance but insurance companies don’t want to give good insurance to really small businesses like this. No vision or dental.

I’m very fortunate to have a job with a very small company (literally 4 people) where we get to set the rules.
It is funny to see the ingrained notion we (collective “we”) once had that working from home could never work. I started this job in 2018, and I often suggested we do a work from home day each week since we all had laptops. My bosses (co-owners of this company) always shot it down. “Oh we’d never get any work done!”
Then, of course, COVID. And while I certainly would rather COVID not have happened, it did convince them that working from actually works. And, of course, they loved it as well. So since 2020 I have not had to go back to the office. We still have office space for some minor things, and once in a blue moon we might gather there. But in six years I’ve probably spent six days in the office.
Heck, I’m fortunate enough to finally have convinced them we should take Fridays off, too. We piloted that program two years ago over the summer, and it, of course, stuck because everyone likes that—though we actually just take every-other Friday off. But still. Hard to beat.

on Anthropic just rolled out a tool that'll decimate some people's dreams of writing AI novels undetected in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
Ah yes, dreaming of an AI novel.
“And what do you want to be when you grow up, Timmy?” “I want to pretend to write stories and then get upset I have to do any work at all.”

on Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
I use Bluesky all the time, and I barely ever see corporate brand stuff.
My actual gripe about Bluesky is that somehow they haven’t dropped an iPad app after four years. Or at the very least fixed issues with their iPhone app while using an iPad.
The GameCube came out when I was a senior in high school. That first night my friend and I stayed up all night and beat Rogue Squadron. It was awesome.
Then going into college the next year with Smash Bros was amazing. Tournaments in the dorm lobby all the time. The handle was such a good idea.
