You don’t seem to allow much of anything, lately. It’s all remove this, ban that.

Your instance truly makes Lemmy feel like Reddit at its worst.

Dragon 32, if I recall correctly.

Mostly try to learn some basic (probably was too young for that), play some games, and try to get the cassette to work. It almost certainly wasn’t the right computer for a kid my age.

Later, if I recall correctly, some model of Atari ST, which again was mostly wasted, though it introduced me to graphics editing, and some 16MHz (with turbo on!) 286 computer with a 65MB hard drive and CGA graphics (later upgraded to EGA and eventually VGA, though that might have been with a later 486), which introduced me to DOS (and extended and expanded memory), WordStar, dBASE 3, Lotus123, LucasArts and Sierra adventures, Wing Commander, a multitude of CRPGs, and eventually Windows 3.x.

I didn’t really get online until I went to the university, back in the glorious days of Yahoo, and the much superior Altavista, surfing on Netscape, before Internet Explorer ruined everything.

There were some great SGI Indigo machines (my first contact with a Unix type OS) and a prehistoric VAX machine with actual dumb terminals (never saw the actual server, sadly) for us to practice with there at the university, though, so that was great (though it didn’t make up for the Pascal).

By any civilized standard democrat politicians are far right extremists (a few token exceptions are closer to right or even center-right on some points, but they have little effect on the whole). Republicans are outright deranged lunatics, mixed with a worryingly increasing percentage of fascists.

Seems like a reasonable demand.

Don’t the Asari just seem to look like whoever’s looking at them’s wet dream, due to psychic shenanigans…?

There were several on /hfy and /humansarespaceorcs.

Seriously, I’m sure we could find some shark with a faster terminal speed if dropped from high enough…

Must be a tumour, then. 😞

Good, ban boomers too, then.

Yeah, it’s called clinical depression, it’s entirely normal, happens to everyone. 🤷‍♂️

Might be that the training set is too old; “That one with the fat dragon” got me Kung Fu Panda, because Po, while not a dragon, was fat.

Similar prompts (see my other replies to the OP) for older films seem to work, so Honour Among Thieves might be to recent. (Which would highlight one of the main issues with these large language models: they have to be periodically retrained with new data for them to remain accurate and practical.)

OK, last last one; “That one with Bill Murray and the gopher” got me Caddyshack, which I haven’t seen but does seem to be a better match than Groundhog Day, which is what I was going for (trying to see if the AI could figure out I was mixing my rodents; turns out there are too many Bill Murray rodent focused films for that to be a valid test, my bad).

I had to do it in a third browser 'cause the login prompt came back, though, so I won’t be doing any more attempts, between that and the GDPR prompt it’s pretty clear they don’t want people using their site. Shame, as the tool seems pretty good, but what can you do. 🤷‍♂️

OK, last try: (spoiler warning) “Turns out he was Jesus” got me The Man From Earth.

This shit would be good, if it weren’t for the login prompt.

OK, opening it on another browser worked. “why it was so easy to blow up the death star” got me Rogue One. So far 3/3, plus a login prompt which drops the score to 0/4.

Third try got me a login prompt (how about no). Definitely not good.

And “horse drowns in quicksand, very sad” got me The Neverending Story. Also good.

“Pigs and diamonds” got me Snatch. Seems good.

Yeah, sorry, I was thinking from a PC standpoint and sort of ignored the whole console perspective (though, frankly, the console market seems to have been absolutely fubared from its inception, from a consumer standpoint, so anything Microsoft does will probably be as relevant as farting into an ocean of shit…)

Activision Blizzard was already about as anti-consumer as possible, so in this particular case at worst nothing will change, at best Microsoft might actually clean house and there might be some improvements for the consumers…
