Stalin suing Hitler. I’m rooting for both of them to lose.

Not anymore. After public outcry, Google established 2 alternatives:

1. Through developer mode, you will be able to “forego security” (according to Google) and do a lengthy and obnoxious procedure to unlock your phone for installing any app.
2. They’re defining a way for official (sanctioned by Google) 3rd party app stores to work, and you will be able to install apps verified by them, instead of Google.

That doesn’t solve the problem: it only disables the duck.ai assistant, but doesn’t disable the search results that are normal websites generated with AI (the real issue here). To be fair, that’s not DDG problem specifically but every search engine problem.

The web is now full of these fake websites, which is a real problem because on the search results they look legit and only when visiting them you realize it’s AI crap.

And the funny (or sad) thing is that current AIs are being trained on these fake hallucinating sites, so even they are suffering from false information, which in turn is given to humans and used to make more fake websites and… the result is up to your imagination.

I stopped reading the light novel because of that.

I had the same feeling, but with a TNT2 card. I first played Half-Life with software rendering, 320x240 in my fishbowl 14" monitor. Then a few months later I bought the TNT2 (M64, the cheap version), and began my 2nd playthrough at a glorious 640x480 with much better FPS. It was awesome.

One could accuse Elden Ring of many things, but clunky controls is definitively not one of them.

It’s probably one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. When you die, you know it’s your fault (usually because of greed), not the system cheating you. It’s very fair, unlike many others.
