Following up on this, I think the studio ghibli is a good example of where community adding accessibility in the form of mods or cheats (or fan subs or dubs in the case of ghibli)

I agree with making accessible controllers with special layouts and allowing custom control bindings to accommodate those who are differently abled.

Those can be accommodated without meaningfully altering the game. Changing the gameplay is different however. Not that adding more difficulty options is a bad thing, I don’t mean to disparage anyone by calling it fake accessibility, just that I don’t think it’s the same as other options because it fundamentally changes the experience compared to other options that I considered “real”

Is it not fair for the game developers’ artistic vision to not be accessible to all? Accessibility is nice, expands the potential audience, but if it compromises my artistic vision and I’m ok with giving up reach and money to preserve it, that doesn’t make my game bad or my vision invalid.

It would be ridiculous to call up the bar or the ama and complain to them that becoming a lawyer or a doctor is not accessible to all.

One last addition, adding control remapping, color options, and text to speech are true accessibility. Easy mode is fake accessibility

That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.

I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.

I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky

You can fit maybe 5 games at 100 GBs a piece (which is pretty standard for PS5) on an 825 GB drive, not to mention that you have to leave up to 100 GB overhead just to update certain games plus room for the OS. If you have a family then you literally have a situation like mine where I have 1 game installed to the PS5 and Warzone, Fortnite, Roblox, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Marvel Rivals take up the rest of the console storage space

I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”

I would say maybe the user is in the EU but apparently apple can still pull sideloaded apps in the EU so what’s the damn point of the DMA, Europe?

I was actually able to run it on a couple different users and it was very in-depth. On your username in particular it showed this thread so they must be searching the web for the username. It could be that newer models are searching more instances than they were before as well.

It’s not just Reddit, anything public is being scraped by AI and all anyone has to do is just ask any of the LLMs and they can provide the same kind of summary…

The ??? isn’t a reference to underpants gnomes. It’s just that no one has ever gotten LLMs to actually fix its own bugs to find out what that step is

Well those artists consented to being assistants and having their works used. Not so much with these image training databases

If you want to use image generation to generate an image, go ahead. I sometimes do the same for placeholder images.

It’s not art though, it’s just plagiarism that’s been abstracted several times over. I could come up with a really cool search string for Google Images that has an awesome first result. But by downloading the first result and passing it off as my work isn’t art, it’s plagiarism.

If you want real art for your project, commission an artist to make it; or keep practicing until you find yourself good enough to make it.

I’m not gatekeeping art; the creativity, the effort, and the skills of the craft are the gatekeeper.
