I hesitate to defend this guy, but the way to learn to do complex things with a tool is to learn to do simple things with it. it’s fully defensible to say that LLMs are not a valid tool to use, but it’s not accurate to represent him as thinking that having his stupid bot check the time every half hour is a good use of his money; he’s just fucking around so he can learn things and attract attention.

but OP didn’t specify that they only care about low-“interior”-crime, so what are you talking about then? “interior”, physical crime might be your first thought when you read those words, but OP is very obviously concerned with the overall progressive & ethical situation of the country that they move to, so while the distinctions that you’re drawing are real and could be relevant in some context, they definitely aren’t in this thread.

“equal and just”, “low-crime”

what would you like to learn from that poll?

who knows what kind of time commitment he had to offer them though?

I don’t think I have used a classic cheat in a long time. The last time I actively remember was The Sims 3 (I guess) and it kind of killed the game for me because suddenly everything was possible without any challenge and even a normal playthrough felt like I was missing something.

totally had the same experience! for me it was jazz jackrabbit 2. I totally still remember some of the cheat codes.

I think of my time with devices like a “food pyramid,” as though that concept ever made sense -

• time on phones: designed to be distracting; tightly controlled by corporations; very bad
• using web browser: much better control, but still limited to corporate controlled ecosystems; better to focus on the “tiny web,” the fediverse, and other unique experiences and events like connecting with remote loved ones, Twitch Plays Pokemon, web fiction & art like creepypastas and SCP
• using e-reader: controlled by user and authors with minimal intrusion by corporations; designed for long focus; ties into deep traditions of form while still supporting powerful features like dictionary lookups, searching, etc (emacs might should also go in here somewhere but I am tired)

what’s the easiest client situation for a setup like this? do you basically need to be visiting the server address using a web browser, so you can stream on a laptop or maybe awkwardly on something like a steam deck?
