In case you’re unaware, that’s literally why they took to calling it that.

Technically correct, easiest to market back when people were first starting to have doubts about setting stuff we found underground on fire.

Using the word “natural” was very much a deliberate choice.

The word you’re looking for is “fanaticism”. And few consider it positive.

Fanaticism and loyalty are essentially the same thing. You pick the word to describe the same behaviour, depending on context. You call someone a fanatic when it is a bad thing. You call someone loyal, when it is a good thing.

Loyalty/fanaticism is trust+commitment. Children taking care of their parents as they age is a form of loyalty, and few would argue that’s a bad thing.

What games are you thinking of?

Fallen Order is 2019 and Survivor is 2024. I’m specifically commenting on recent EA games.

Star Wars Jedi is the title of this most recent series by Respawn, currently with two entries.

It’s really just a digital way to do the equivalent of printing the document, signing it, and scanning it again. Which is also accepted in a lot of situations.

The visual signature part of a “digital signature” is purely cosmetic. The actual signature is the entire file being cryptographically signed using a private key you possess, which any recipient can then verify came from you by using a public key.

This is the case for all government issue signatures (like when using the private key inside a chipped government id card) or any other signature created using a key pair from an issuing authority.

If its not a digital signature in this way, the other way is literally just an image. It can be a vector or an raster, or a straight up scan of a physically signed document. It’s just a picture. It has no digital verification whatsoever.

I’m referring to the way the game lets you earn everything. There is no upsell after you buy the game. If you want something from the game, you get it by playing.

OMFG.

Gemini is neat, but it SSUUUUUUUUCCCKKS at being a voice assistant.

It will frequently produce a fucking essay in response to being asked to turn the lights on or off.

I just gave it a go again, 30% of the time it pretends to do what you ask without actually doing it. 20% of the time it flat-out refuses while never failing to mention that I really should enable gemini activity tracking. 40% of the time is claims this functionality does not exist, even though it was given the ability to “ask assistant” to do things only it can do (like identify music by listening to it). 10% of the time it will successfully hand off to assistant, which will then instantly do as asked.

Worse.

It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it “wtf” in response when it clearly didn’t (if you notice), it’ll fucking explain it’s just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.

The Star Wars Jedi games are genuinely good self-contained no bs single player games.

I can’t comment on anything else.

“Choose” your pokemon.

I’ve only managed it accidentally.

But usually the pattern is contacting/getting contacted due to some matter that needs discussing. The source for that can be needing some pointers on using someone elses code, or providing feedback on how someone moderates, etc.

For me it’s usually come from participating more extensively. Engaging in community building such as my modding titanfall and hosting northstar servers. Starting a bunch of lemmy communities.

Then, once something gives you a reason to go a couple back and forths into an exchange, and there is mutual interest, it just keeps going. After that you can pick up with the same skillset you’d use with someone you’ve met in person.

The difference is that you’ll need to keep it going by deliberately reviving the conversation now and then. That won’t happen by running into the person face to face or some similar context the way it might work with a coworker or someone in your social circle.

Orange cat, only in the brain.

Yes.

Yes.

Absolut yes.

Completely immersive in-world UI with Alien Isolation vibes and WORLD TIER audio design. No hand-holding, almost no “yellow paint”, instead everything is done in realistic in-world context.

It’s about 5 hours to complete if you’re fast and care about that. But it’s a 5 hours with IMPECCABLE attention to detail.

I don’t know.

Guys.

We skipped jeans.

Note, #4 will not apply to files MOVED into the directory. Only files that count as “created” there (like a copy operation).

Yes
