I haven’t used it before. What’s so bad about it that you would give it a 0?

Considering other patent laws in Japan, I definitely agree with you.

Especially when companies like Nintendo are somehow able to patent video game mechanics for something as ridiculous as riding on a flying creature.

Here’s an open letter to the Organic Maps Shareholders with the most info:
https://www.comaps.app/news/2025-04-16/1/

Which is referenced in the article here:
https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

And discussed on the OpenSource community here:
https://lemmy.world/post/30461779

Basically some drama went down between the devs.

• Organic Maps has remained an LLC instead of transitioning to a Nonprofit.
  • The projects finances have not been made public (they’re not required as an LLC) and there are concerns about how that money is being used.
• There was a decision made to include Kayak affiliate links in the app: https://web.archive.org/web/20250602163403/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/6523
• The current board only consists of 3 people: Roman (@rtsisyk), Viktor (@vng), and Alexander (@biodranik). Major decisions can’t be made if only 1 person objects.
• The code for their map download service was closed sourced when an MIT license was removed and there were concerns about Organic Maps keeping in line with its open source values: https://web.archive.org/web/20250523094656/https://github.com/orgs/organicmaps/discussions/9837#discussioncomment-11569196
  • When these concerns were raised, Alexander (@biodranik) revoked Roman’s (@rtsisyk) access https://web.archive.org/web/20250427142515/https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/9860
  • The situation was resolved about a week later with the code for the map download service becoming public and With Roman’s access being restored.

Edit: ‘to’ the shareholders, not from

Thanks! This will definitely help me to remember it from now on.

Then there’s also the download then upload into the comment approach:

Yeah, they definitely should focus on adding more RAM to their flagship phones, but smaller models are ideal for smartphones.

Smaller models are quicker to run and use up less battery. Besides, if they’re using some AI models I would rather it be run locally than have my data uploaded to some server somewhere (big assumption that they wouldn’t do that anyway, I know)… Or at the very least I can still run it even if the network goes down.

I had the same problem, but I found that turning up the advanced Parameter Values in the Text Prediction settings helps to keep everything spelled correctly. I’m currently at 10.4 for the transformer strength and 8.3 for the autocorrect threshold and I’m noticing a lot less issues… I haven’t tested out turning it up all the way yet.

I also have the Transformer fine tuning enabled.

The swipe feature definitely needs some attention.

They do have a crowdsourced way of helping to improve their swipe prediction, more info on the link here: https://swipe.futo.org/

You’ll notice that even the swipe prediction for Heliboard comes from a closed source library.

Futo has been my favorite so far compared to other keyboards. I haven’t used Heliboard yet, but it also looks like a good option.

Username checks out.

You don’t have to use AI to generate everything. You could have it only replace certain aspects of your workflow. Ex: You could use a tool which looks at the 3d model you created/bought and then have it create a texture based on your prompt: https://github.com/FrederikHasecke/diffused-texture-addon

As others have mentioned, a consistent style will be an issue with AI generated… Anything.

There are ways to fix this. Either fine-tune your own model or create a Lora that will force the result to be consistent. You would need to learn how to do this by feeding it your own drawing style.

Copyright will always be an issue, it’s on you to make sure that any result from the model does not infringe on anything (ex: asking it to make you an image/model that looks like Pikachu is certain to draw the attention of Nintendo’s lawyers).

From what I understand, an art “style” can not be copyrighted, but definitely do some research on what could still happen. For instance, look at how Nintendo has reacted to Palworld, they can’t sue them for using a similar style, but (in Japan at least) they can go after them for using specific game mechanics such as “throwing a ball object to have a creature appear where it is thrown”.

Not a stupid question.

There’s a section near the bottom about how to install and you’ll also want to read through the documentation on how to use it.

What’s not in the instructions: First, you’ll need to have Python installed, then you’ll be able to execute that command to download/install the module.

At a quick glance, this is some software that you install on a computer, then you connect your phone to it and execute the command to perform a scan.

You’ll want to get comfortable with using a terminal window or PowerShell/CMD prompt, etc.

You may need to look up some commands on how to change your directory to the root directory of the phone before executing any scans.

Unfortunately I can think of one company in particular that uses tinyurl when you sign up for shipping updates on their website (looking at you Samsung!).

At least with that one:

• you know you signed up for it
• they send a text right when you sign up for it
• they use an official short SMS (5 digit) number.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. The clickbait thumbnails I’m used to are the ones where they show an image of something crazy that never actually occurs in the video itself.

That’s a shame, they make fun of how game companies are just enshittifying their products.

How is it a click-baity thumbnail? All of the characters in the thumbnail were in the video. I must be out of the loop on some obvious thing they are referencing with that picture.

Personally, I downvoted this because it’s a community for technology related news and I just don’t think it fits the kind of content that we should be seeing here.

Bad Pathfinding:

• Allies: aren’t getting stuck anywhere near as often at my base compared to what they were doing near launch. I haven’t noticed it recently, but they likely still get stuck depending on how complicated your base gets. Beyond that, any pathfinding is fairly basic, they’re not smart about it.
• Enemies: I’ve seen them navigate through trees and up simple mountain trails when they’re running away from me. And if you attack them, and hide up on a nearby cliffside they usually just get stuck at the cliffside below you trying to walk into the wall.

Dumb/Static enemy behaviour:
Yeah this is still very basic. They usually stay in the same place unless they are running away, chasing you, switching targets, or using an ability that forces them to move. It’s trivial to just hide behind a tree or a boulder and attack them until their health is low enough to catch. They won’t actively try to adjust their angle of attack to compensate for objects between you and them.

Character clipping issues:
The only player structure I still have clipping issues with is one structure meant for increasing your storage/showing off pals at your base. Even then I only saw one player get stuck in it once recently. But he was probably jumping around on top of it for that to happen. It’s rare to see issues at the level we saw at launch.

Really weird physics issues:
The one I can remember off the top of my head was where an attack could launch a character up into the stratosphere and then they would fall and instantly die when they finally hit the ground. I haven’t seen anything like that in months.

I think that’s a fair question given how it initially launched.

I’m no longer falling through the map. I can’t remember the last time that happened (except for the early days of the game).

I’ve only seen other players joining my world getting stuck inside of rocks when they initially spawn in, but you can just get out by spawning a pal that you can mount right next to the rock that you’re stuck in. Edit: Note: This bug is rare and doesn’t happen often anymore.

I looked through a few articles but couldn’t find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.

The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their “Pal Spheres” into “Pal Cubes” or prisms, or something similar.

I use Stealth for any niche groups over there that I still follow, and then if I really want to comment, I’ll login with old.reddit on my browser.

I’m really confused by your comment and it seems like you’re assuming everyone knows what you’re talking about already. Could you provide some context?

What about “Free” are they getting wrong? (I’m assuming you’re talking about Mozilla here?).

What Amazon reviews thing? Who was this “shady dude”, what did he do that was so “shady”, and how does that relate to Some Amazon review thing if you’re not even sure that he was behind it to begin with?

What does “Aled it up” mean?
