uh i think there’s a lemmy setting to hide all bot posts (that are marked as bot posts obviously), it’s a client-side setting.

there’s no automated way to stop LLMs except trying to stop all bots (assuming they all are using the API, and the LLMs don’t communicate any self identifying metadata).

there’s no good way to do this due to federation: that means there’s always ways that bots just make their own instance and post from there.

for me it’s not that i think that i shouldn’t, but i can’t. i just cannot ingest that much sugar at once, i get really bad feelings from that!

if you’re on linux, you can do sudo apt update and then sudo apt install minetest to install it, then you should get a start menu entry called “Luanti” and just click that to launch.

(it could be that the package is called luanti on your system instead of minetest, depending on what repository you use. they renamed it at some time.)

you can do singleplayer, multiplayer (local area network only), and multiplayer (over the internet).

all three of them don’t require you to get an “official account” or sth. singleplayer and multiplayer (local) are very easy to set up, you’ll figure it out in less than 1 minute.

multiplayer (over the internet) requires a bit more technical knowledge. are you familiar with the linux command line, and have you ever rented a linux server before?

there’s a list of publicly-visible servers on the luanti multiplayer screen. maybe it’s one of them?

The only reason I try it out is to get an understanding how these games work and to have some basic knowledge of one of the most important and played games of all time.

understandable. in this game (mineclonia which is exactly the same as minecraft, content-wise) you collect resources and turn them into something else, quite a lot how real world (industry) works. there’s two types of raw resources: renewable and non-renewable resources. renewable means stuff like plants (yes, you can plant and harvest crops. use a hoe on a patch of dirt to turn it into farmland, then you can plant seeds there. they grow after a while) and animals (cows, chickens, etc which you can feed with grains etc) and monsters (these spawn in the environment, they can harm you if they touch you for example but you can kill them with a sword and they drop loot like zombie flesh, bones, spider eyes etc which are useful for some recipes).

and then there’s non-renewable resources which you can dug up from under the ground. stuff like raw iron ore, which you can then “cook” (smelt) in a furnace to get processed iron ingot, which you can then use in a lot of recipes to turn into other things, such as railways, wagons, pistons, etc.

there’s quite a lot of content actually but these are the basics.

i’ve played luanti for a while and loved it! it’s really neat and has a lot of potential. i’ve even gone to write a custom modpack for it.

that’s crazy good! wow

Experiencing something so alien has changed how I feel about the “human experience,” so to speak, because now I’ve seen it from outside.

i’d rather argue that now, you’ve seen it from the inside. deeper inside than you usually go.

what you describe sounds a whole lot like studying philosophy would help you. it gives you a better understanding of life and the world in general and can help fulfill that craving for something because it is a pretty generic thing with broad topics and that is exactly why it fills every niche, kinda.

i’ve actually been thinking whether there could maybe be some kind of machine-wrestling. i.e. fights for show or competition or sth, similar to the olympic games, but purely involving machines. drones and such

i guess maybe nobody wants to participate there to not leak their secret military technology?

wtf did i just read. lmao. this gotta be some ragebait paper.

I show how descriptions of drone warfare are rife with symptoms of an unresolved disorientation, often expressed as gender anxiety over the failure of the distance–intimacy and home–combat axes to orient killing with drones.

lmao

“Primary weapon: python script” got me lmao

actually i do sometimes think that life is in some sense a drama (theater stage), and what we perform is often at least as important as what we actually do in reality.

i.e. there’s a whole lot of symbolic interactions throughout the day. for example every time that we speak to someone. it doesn’t change reality, but another person’s mind, so it’s a symbolic interaction.

but … it checks out?

there isn’t any good reason. you should start giving less attention to those who shout loudest, IMO.

i did that once. it did not work as well as i had hoped. i’m still not sure why.
