It's running slow because it's running at such a low framerate. The speed and the framerate are tied. Old console games used to work that way, which was a problem because games would run at different speeds in different countries (PAL vs NTSC). This is a solved problem in modern games. Just separate the game logic from the display logic. But this AI can't do that because there is nothing but the video.

Add to that that the AI was probably trained on high framerate footage but is only capable of generating low framerate footage and you get (gestures wildly) this

A UK petition is in the works. It might take some time until that goes up because your election a couple of months ago reset a lot of work, but it's comming

Would they be mandated to give out the server code that people could run their own servers?

Sort of. The Idea is that people should be able to run their own servers, but developers wouldn't need to give out their code. All you need is the server binary. After all server software is just that software, just like the client and they don't need to give out the source code for that for you to run the game. Alternatively they could patch the game so it's peer-to-peer. (and yes in this case that would be unreasonable as the game is not successful enough to even break even)

The initiative is so ambiguous (to the extend that it is - I'd argue that it's a lot clearer than many people claim) because it's not actually legal text. It's not supposed to be. All it should do is describe the problem and explain why the problem falls under EU jurisdiction. Everything else is supposed to be handled by EU lawmakers after the initiative has met it's signature goal.

Then you should sign it anyway. Worst case your new signature will get invalidated after the fact, but your old one should (AFAIK) still get counted

Yes there was one but the Tories didn't have anything to do with it closing, at least not directly. If an election happens all open petitions are closed as a matter of process, because "it's a new parliament". And then you need to resubmit.

A UK petition is in the works. But it might take a month or two until that goes online.

There is another downside. The local and global feeds are potent discovery tools. But they only work if you group people with similar interests onto the same instance. Your proposal assumes a certain amount of homogeneity. If everyone is interested in the same content anyway then yes you can distribute it randomly. But all the people interested in Linux memes are already here. If we are to expand our reach we need to have instances catering to other interests.

And it also doesn't work with international communities. German speakers for example go to feddit.org, precisely because that's where German content is going to be amplified via the local feed and therefore easier to discover (for people an that particular instance)

I considered that. Unfortunately silverblue doesn't do live systems and aurora therefore doesn't either. So a VM is the only way of trying it out. OP stated that they have someone to help with the actual installation so I left the whole create install medium for bare metal install out intentionally since I assume this person will be capable of helping with that.

Also small Markdown help: If you use dashes lemmy will automatically format bulletpoints correctly. You can't use •s for it. Doesn't take anything away from your comment, etcher is still the best tool to create a bootable usb drive, but for the future consider using dashes.

Deutschland hat gestern Abend seine Mindestanzahl an Unterschriften bei der Europäischen Volksinitiative erreicht.

Vielen Dank an alle, die bereits unterschrieben haben. Und an alle anderen: Eure Unterschrift zählt immer noch. Wir müssen schließlich über die nächsten 11,5 Monate 1 Mio. Stimmen kontinentweit erreichen. Also unterschreibt fleißig weiter.

Stop Killing Games ist eine Bürgerinitiative, die sich dafür einsetzt, dass Videospiele spielbar bleiben, auch nachdem deren Entwickler und Publisher sich dazu entschieden haben den Stecker zu ziehen.

SKG wird keine offizielle Präsenz auf der Gamescom haben, aber wenn ihr vorhabt die Kölnmesse diese Wochenende zu besuchen und ein paar Flyer haben wollt, um die dort zu verteilen, könnt ihr mich gerne anschreiben. Ich lasse euch gerne welche zukommen.

This is your somewhat regularly scheduled Stop Killing Games update.

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

Germany has hit the threshold sometime yesterday evening. France has also started to catch up. They are still below 50% but there growth over the last couple of days has been the biggest. Netherlands and Denmark are still in the low 90s.

The milestone comes on the eve of this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany which is set to kick off today. SKG is not going to have an official presence there. (I've checked with the organisers) But if you are attending and want to help spread the word I'm happy to share official marketing material, either in the form of flyers or the files for flyers, so you can print your own. They come in both German and English. If you want some, send me a DM.

I'm not going to post an update every time a (small) milestone is reached, but i felt this time it was warranted.

Sweden and Poland both passed their respective thresholds. That brings us to 3 out of 7 countries where we need to pass the threshold. We are also past 25% of the one million signatures needed continent-wide.

Thank you to everyone who already signed.

German producers have sparked a dispute by filing an opposition to a Turkish application to grant the döner kebab's special status at the EU level, initiating a six-month period to resolve disagreements.

A Turkish application to the European Commission for the döner kebab to be given similar EU recognition as the Neapolitan pizza and Spain's jamon serrano has been opposed by Germany, sources close to the issue have told Euronews.

As reported, in April Türkiye filed an application to register the name döner in Europe so that it can be used only by those producers conforming to the registered production method and product specifications.
