Maybe Linux is considering prioritizing consumer hardware (safety, less room for human error)? Android is already a thing, so maybe there is pressure for prioritizing consumer hardware?

I’m tolerant of jank if the game is well-structured or made by a small team. It doesn’t mean it has to be cheaper, but the price really helps and shows how greedy those big AAA titles are.

Some AAAs fill the game with functionalities or characteristics. It creates intricate stories supposed to please everyone. Gaming is becoming a culture asset.

I feel the same way about indie books. The “AAA” books tell stories about worlds that I really don’t care about. It doesn’t matter how much money you put into it, they were just not made for me.

Indie titles (and books) fill this gap. I feel welcomed by some games and this matters more than any attention-locking they could put into their games for gameplay, or stories they construct.

Books (and therefore stories) are Supposed to reach just some people. How the heck could you create a story that satisfies everyone? It just doesn’t happen. It’s culture.

As an article that was published here on Lemmy talks: “When you read a book, you’re conspiring with the author” for a reality. So it is with some videogames. And as I said, videogames are becoming culturally relevant, so all the big companies got their claws on it, you can’t expect it to be untainted.

The Universe has a past, but also a future.

Well, it’s clear Linux is getting a lot of attention on the desktop side of things. So it’s important that all organizations involved make the right decisions for the public interest and the environment of Linux.

That means a community level of compliance that matches Big Tech capacities.

A “EE” degree won’t get you into poking the right things into memory using BASIC. How about your “EE” programmers try that understanding of hardware?

I think this is important. Many science history textbooks highlight that the ancients got the measures right by 5% off or that the modern era scientists got the quantity of oxidation (phlogistic) off by 5%. So it’s important to note that we are actually advancing in Science and that we are finding new horizons, not just repeating what the ancients or modern era scientists did.

I’m kind of curious as to what I could do with Proton Drive SDK.

This is just incredible. I am at a loss for words.

I just wish I didn’t had to cite Lovecraft for this to be cool.

Onboard the train to dystopia.

Sadly, testing a Linux distro isn’t something you can do without having unused SSDs laying around or reserving tens of GBs in space. Else I would try it and see how it is. It seems to be missing some visual identity, though. That’s always nice. It got the spirit of what to do right, though.

Very nice achievement, favoring and stimulating FOSS use. OpenSCAD no less.

What happened to China going for Open Hardware?

I personally find weird the read on web mechanism.

ChatGPT is worse. The others not so much.

I think owning a platform like GitHub and acting like you can profit out of your code (not your product) isn’t good news.

What wouldn’t I be able to access without compatibility investments? Spotify, LinkedIn? I think I’m fine.

Besides, what’s the point of OSS that is owned 85% by a big company?

I don’t think being afraid of it is the right way to go. But that is really convenient for Big Tech isn’t it? At least as of now, being online (or a digital being) means you only see what Google or the LLMs want you too. There is a complete detachment of local culture to give in to this global vision, but as envisioned by Big Tech.

I’ve searched for local newspapers using Google Maps localization, which is far from perfect, just to see if my local culture is still there. If people actually live like they lived 10-15 years ago. And they’re the same. It’s just that, as incredible as it may seem, the local physical culture of the city is getting superseded by digital realities. The people are the same, but they’re more or less invisible now.

It’s crazy the way things are going, but I think the response should be technological also and not avoiding knowledge or the effort necessary for it.

The Court doesn’t even hide its unfairness. This isn’t good.

I can ask AI things and then check if it is correct somewhere else. It’s very good at guiding you towards knowing things. Sometimes it will avoid giving information, but it is always useful at answering things. It’s like someone you can bother without having to resort to forums or other boards. It advanced my knowledge a lot. I already read a lot, but you can’t ask a book to clarify things.

I learn a lot using AI. In a way I wouldn’t be able to learn on my own.
