Which countries have beaten egoism?

I'm also confused. I'm on the main furry instance, and it looks like there was one NSFW-image posted locally within the last 7 days.

The best solution I've seen for typing were the original Vive's controllers with their dual touchpads. Unfortunately none of the modern controller have large touchpads, so typing with them is way more janky.

Europe 2031 — What getting AI wrong means for us

4d 14h ago in europe@feddit.org from europe2031.ai

Skimmed over it. I guess it's an interesting scenario, but I think we should be very skeptical of future predictions made at the height of what many economists believe to be an economic bubble. If and when that bubble bursts, the countries that went all-in on AI will be the worst hit. You probably could have made a similar prediction at the height of the dotcom boom and it would just look ridiculous a few years later.

Nintendo is selling facial recognition as a “chat feature”

4d 18h ago in nintendo from www.youtube.com

Facial recognition goes beyond face tracking, by running an algorithm that identifies an individual by their facial features. It can use face tracking as one of its base technologies, yes, but not with the same goal and it generally needs different and more detailed data points than the simple face tracking you'd use for an AR feature like this one.

I'm sorry, but I'm really not sure what you're trying to say with Andross, nor have you explained the connection to the Virtual Boy. Are you trying to spin some great conspiracy where Nintendo is monitoring us via facial recognition and has somehow been doing that since the 90s?

That's not facial recognition, it's face tracking. And it is a chat feature. What exactly is supposed to be the problem here? Also I'm not sure why you linked the Virtual Boy, which didn't have a camera, face tracking or even a chat.

It has quite a refreshing setting for a fantasy RPG: A prison colony beneath a magical barrier that has been taken over by the prisoners. It has a seamless open world which instead of being large focuses on being dense, immersive and interesting to explore. You can join different factions and there's quite a bit of variety in how to approach the game. NPCs all have realistic daily routines. It also has satisfying progression: You start out as an absolute loser who can barely hold a sword and gets killed in 2 hits by a rat and slowly work your way up to be a powerful warrior or mage.

Gothic 1 Remake Sells 500.000 Copies in First Week

Well-deserved! It's an excellent remake. They modernized and enhanced a lot but didn't overdo it and kept the important parts that make it "Gothic". Hope we'll see Gothic 2 and eventually 3 remakes by Alkimia as well.

I was about to recommend this too. Probably the closest thing to Elder Scrolls that isn't actually Elder Scrolls or a mod. Excellent game, and quite an impressive achievement considering it's an indie developer with nowhere near the budget of a Bethesda game.

Wie wähle ich einen lukrativen ETF aus?

5d 16h ago in dach@feddit.org

Ich verstehe die rechtliche Lage nicht ganz: Häufig lese ich das Wort Sparplan. Ist das aber ein Sparplan für meine Rente? Wenn ich in einem ‘Sparplan’ investiere, bin ich verpflichtet, das Geld in ETFs zu belassen, bis ich 67 Jahre alt bin?

Sparplan, zumindest in dem Kontext in dem ich es kenne, heißt lediglich dass du automatisch jeden Monat einen festen Beitrag in einen ETF investierst. Du kannst das Geld aber jederzeit da raus holen.

Bin auch ein ziemlicher Finanz-Noob, also überlasse ich die Ratschläge lieber jemandem der sich besser auskennt. Kann nur sagen, dass es für mich bisher gut funktioniert hat, einfach in den "Standard"-ETF MSCI-World zu investieren.
