  • I have been thinking of adding a license clause to everything I make (code especially) that makes any AI trained on it my sole exclusive property, but I don’t know how defensible that would be in court ?

    Or any other sort of trap clause. But again, I don’t know how to word it. Like “this makes your model public domain” or “you grant a free worldwide unlimited license to every human on earth”.

    Something that makes the mere inclusion of the code in a training data set into absolute legal poison to the would-be owners.

    I am not a lawyer, not even slightly…



  • This is actually one of the absolute worst trade-offs they could have made, if you think about it for like 2 minutes :

    They said 0.1% of players were on Linux.

    Even if they were ALL cheaters, that’s still a tiny amount of cheaters you just “banned”

    Almost 100% of whom will just cheat on Windows instead ; whereas all the legitimate Linux players will loudly complain forever.

    They decided to sacrifice all the free PR from one of the most vocal groups of players out there, in order to get a ~ 0% reduction in the number of cheaters.

    In more simple terms, they just shot themselves in the foot for no benefit whatsoever (though I do grant it’s a relatively small “gun”)


















  • I cannot describe how disappointed I was in the switch when it came out, and the situation isn’t much better now. It took one huge step forwards, yes, bus also ditched a ton of really good features :

    • No cameras !?
    • No microphone !?
    • No analog triggers
    • No 3D display
    • No stylus support
    • No Streetpass
    • No personality (fun apps, menu music, themes…)

    Even the Motion controls, which are still a thing, do not feature any IR reference point, making the Wii still the best implementation of motion aim outside of VR.

    The games are great, but these days I personally play the Wii U and 3DS more often, because unlike the switch these platforms still offer some experiences that are just not possible elsewhere.

    In fact, the Wii U and 3DS are currently the only consoles I would recommend actually possessing physically. Wii U emulation is really annoying (though Steam Deck can get there, with a cable in the way), and good luck finding anything for the 3DS that does the 3D part any better than a New 3DS XL.
