How many do you think they could take on in a single wave?

The rules being either one has to die and the kid has agroed the chimpanzees. The child is in their house and has the same resources and prep time.

Bonus: here is the Wikipedia page about the Gombe Chimpanzee War.

While there are plenty of spaces for debate, news commentary, "political internet culture", memes, and so on, I still haven't found a single community dedicated to any form of collective action, either IRL or in digital spaces. There are some communities dedicated to unions, but it seems mostly news commentary and very little action, educational material, events, or projects to plug yourself into.

I understand that the core user base of lemmy might not be the most prone to collective action, but I'm still surprised there's nothing even on the most political communities.

Any suggestion?

Hello everyone

I recently upgraded my PC and I'm excited to explore new games that can take advantage of my improved hardware. Previously, my old PC was limited, and I had to be selective about the games I played. I also have a Steam Deck, but I'm looking for offline single-player experiences on my PC.

I'm looking for games that offer an unforgettable experience and high replay value. I enjoy open-world games that give me the freedom to explore, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I know it's not a PC game, but it gives you an idea of my playstyle.

Here are some games I've enjoyed in the past:

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - My favorite game, I love the freedom to explore without being bound to quests.

• Far Cry 3 - Great open-world experience that didn't get boring.

• NieR: Automata - Engaging story, but it got a bit repetitive.

• Scarlet Nexus - Great story, high replay value, and a beautiful world, although it can be repetitive.

• ULTRAKILL - Challenging and high replay value.

• Portal 2 - High replay value.

• Portal 1 - Enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

• Subnautica - Absolutely loved it.

• The Witcher 3 - Didn't enjoy it, but I'm giving it another try soon.

• Doom Eternal - Liked it.

• Horizon Zero Dawn - It's an average game, with a mid-story and a beautiful world.

For me, a good story is often the top priority, but I also enjoy games like Breath of the Wild where I can relax and play without thinking too hard.

If you're curious about my specs, here they are:

New PC:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

• RAM: 64GB DDR5 Memory

Old PC: • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB

• CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz

• RAM: 4GB DDR3 Memory

I'd appreciate any game recommendations that fit my preferences.

Edit: Thanks already for the recommendations, I might also add, that I love the Halo games. Except the newer ones.

First and foremost, this is not about AI/ML research, only about usage in generating content that you would potentially consume.

I personally won't mind automated content if/when that reach current human generated content quality. Some of them probably even achievable not in very distant future, such as narrating audiobook (though it is nowhere near human quality right now). Or partially automating music/graphics (using gen AI) which we kind of accepted now. We don't complain about low effort minimal or AI generated thumbnail or stock photo, we usually do not care about artistic value of these either. But I'm highly skeptical that something of creative or insightful nature could be produced anytime soon and we have already developed good filter of slops in our brain just by dwelling on the 'net.

So what do you guys think?

Edit: Originally I made this question thinking only about quality aspect, but many responses do consider the ethical side as well. Cool :).

We had the derivative work model of many to one intellectual works (such as a DJ playing a collection of musics by other artists) that had a practical credit and compensation mechanism. With gen AI trained on unethically (and often illegally) sourced data we don't know what produce what and there's no practical way to credit or compensate the original authors.

So maybe reframe the question by saying if it is used non commercially or via some fair use mechanism, would you still reject content regardless of quality because it is AI generated? Or where is the boundary for that?

Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?

All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.

I was a long time reddit user, and made a couple new accounts as throwaways last year from different emails but they kept getting shadowbanned everytime I tried to post, comment or send a message. Just last night, my 3 year old account I had no issues using it at all got shadowbanned as soon as I sent a message. It's just so frustrating how hard reddit is moderated and there's no explanations given either they just shadowban you and I don't even know where to ask anyone either I installed Lemmy, hoping it'll be a good alternative and it is great and a lot of things I like about reddit, but there's a significant lack of the type of communities that I browsed in reddit. Hopefully I'll find them here or more people will join and it'll be better. So what made you install Lemmy and what did you wish Lemmy had?

Any advice you’ve ever heard or given. I linked a great video that I think would be my answer, combined with the “stop caring what other people think about you” and “comparison is the thief of joy” comments below. Just do stuff that you wanna do, don’t compare and don’t care what others say. It’s awesome advice.

"Sorry, I got to return this video"

"Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial"

"Do you have any quarters for a phone?"

"Bill Cosby really is America's dad"

"Can I borrow that VHS?"

"Sorry, I can't come. My favourite show is on"

"Do you know where a phone is?"

I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

Or ways to remove that accumulation fast?

Non-vacuum cleaner tips would be more actionable for me currently, but please do share your ways.

Having tried all three, its a stark difference in how much more social Lemmy is comparatively. Its not even close. Almost all posts I've encountered on lemmy have interaction; whereas, more often than not, posts on the other two platforms have no interaction. Wonder what the driving factor is behind this difference?

If you learn you are the heir to a distant, secluded empire and the local trusted family advisor says, "don't worry we'll make a cult of personality for you." Do you accept or decline? Why or why not?

I want to attribute credit for resources I am using to create a video, but I am looking for a standard way to do it so that it can look good in plain text, rich text and printed text, for now the attribution I want to do, is for video, audio and software separated by their respective sections.

It probably seems weird asking this on Lemmy, but of course posting this on Reddit would get banned or taken down. Reddit doesn’t like being critical of Reddit. Anyways….

Over the last 10 years as a Reddit user I’ve believe the amount of accounts that are bots or foreign bad actors has tipped past 50%. I have no statistics to speak of, but would love if somebody did and could share.

Based purely on some of the conversations, posts, rage bait, strong ideologies, etc… I’m pretty convinced that a reasonable sample of humans could not or would not act the way they do on that platform. So often now I see posts that I feel are specifically attempting to sow discord and disagreement.

Does anyone else agree? What percent of users do you think are bots? Foreign bad actors?

Sadly, I think Reddit has no desire to find out or do anything about it. There would be no upside to them correcting their advertising numbers.
