  • It’s just a computer. You can do whatever you need a computer for. Browse Lemmy on it. Play video games on it. Use it as a server. Make it run an ad video on the TV in your store window.

    Whatever you need a PC for. If you don’t need a PC for something, you don’t need a Raspberry Pi.

    The entire point of the Raspberry Pi was that it was a very very cheap PC, and it’s no longer cheap, so nowadays there is definitely less reason to buy one.






  • And if players oppose AI from a moral stand point, than making an exception for code, is misleading to the end users, who don’t know the intricacies of the AI disclosure criteria.

    I completely agree, Steam’s disclosure rules don’t work for anyone who wants to avoid AI from a moral standpoint.

    It is the bugs that break games and make the experience mesirerable.

    Yes, bugs break games, but also buggy games always existed and reviews and public opinion have always handled informing potential buyers of that. I know there are games which are incredibly buggy because they were vide coded, I played them and was disappointed. But I also have no doubt that there are games that are less buggy because the devs use AI to check the code they write for problems. Just like all the news stories we hear about security vulnerabilities being found due to AI scanning, so are mundane bugs found with AI scanning.

    Vibe coded code? Yes will have bugs. Human written code with additional AI review will have less bugs. You would still want to avoid it if you have a moral issue with it of course, but it is higher quality than if AI wasn’t used. Putting it all in one bucket is misleading.

    Why should AI generated assets be disclosed but not AI generated code.

    Because games are art, people play them to experience something another human being created. There is no excuse for AI generated asset, and they always bring the quality of the game down. While AI assisted code can bring the quality of the game up, it’s not as black and white. Though it often doesn’t.












  • I said “mostly a US thing” for a reason! Australia is definitely one of places where credit cards are more common. Still, from what I checked now, only around 50% of adults in Australia own a credit card, let alone use one.

    In US they are popular becase they give lots of rewards (which may be the case in Australia, you definitely know better than me). These rewards come from charging credit card fees to merchants. In the EU the law protects merchants from unreasonable credit card fees, and without charging fees, there are no rewards. And without rewards, there is no point in using a credit card day to day - leaving it only for emergencies, etc.

    As you said, you use it because you get nice rewards for it, which makes sense. These comes from the credit card companies fleecing sellers. In countries where the law prevents that, it just isn’t a thing.
