Does Bazzite have good Nvidia support and do they have a good track record with testing updates? I don’t want my graphics card to suddenly stop working after an update as it likes to on Kubuntu.
Yes, although nobody is perfect so it's always a possibility. The difference with Bazzite (and other immutable distros) is if it does happen, all you need to do is reboot and choose the previous version in grub. It'll be like the update never happened, no need to look up or run any magic commands.
Then you just wait until they fix it before updating again.
We are quickly back to the corporate MSFT that doesn’t listen to its users or employees. All that good will has been washed away and now I feel the need to switch off of Windows.
Please cite one example of Microsoft ever giving a fuck about users. Since their inception, Microsoft has always been about gaining as much leverage as possible in every business relationship, and then exploiting that leverage to the fullest. "Embrace Extend Extinguish" is a well documented example of that philosophy.
Anybody who still trusts Microsoft is dumb, or too young to have been really screwed over yet.
Seriously, STOP TRUSTING MICROSOFT. No matter how much the tech industry evolves, that rule is ironclad. It has even outlived Moore's Law.
This is nonsense. Everyone needs the most secure phone possible, especially considering it's the only device some people will ever own. None of the other de-Googled offerings come close to the security features that Graphene offers, some of which are custom built solutions. They go above and beyond what the typical ROM does, which is why it even supports a lot of banking apps that would normally be blocked.
There's a good reason people talk about GrapheneOS a lot lately, and not any of the many alternative Android ROMs that exist.
Also, let’s keep in mind that GrapheneOS only supports Pixel because they don’t want to allow people to run their OS on hardware they don’t think is secure enough
Obviously. That's the point: Graphene isn't just any de-Googled ROM, it's specifically a product designed for security-conscious users. If someone doesn't care about security and just wants to dick around on an old Android device, they can use one of the many toy ROMs out there (like iodé)
The main goal of Graphene OS is to protect users from some very specific attacks like some devices police uses to unlock phones or some targeted hacks by state actors.
That's simply not true. It does do those things, but that's not "the main goal". Not sure where you got that from?
But by definition they are learning and it is not conceptually different from how we learn.
(citation needed)
"Machine learning" is neither mechanically nor conceptually similar to how humans learn, unless you take a uselessly broad view and define it as "thing goes in, thing comes out". The same could be applied to a simple CRUD app.
These AI "coding agents" aren't learning or thinking. They're just natural language statistical search engines, and as such it's easy to anthropomorphize them. Future generations will laugh at us, kinda like how we laugh at old products that contain cocaine, asbestos, lead, uranium, etc.
I paid ~$80 or something for Sublime Text 4 a few years ago, and I can't remember the last time it had an update, yet I am an extremely happy customer.
A text editor should only focus on stability and performance, and Sublime does exactly that, and is why I am "stuck" with it.
But Gram looks like it's going the same direction, and it's open source! I really hope development on it picks up so I can finally gain peace of mind by having a FOSS code editor that can actually compete with Sublime.
Any lawyer who wants to make a shit load of money fucking over a company engaging in these kinds of abusive business practices should look at what Bucher law firm did to Valve.
Was it good? The Xbox 360 outsold it (by a lot), but even that was mostly luck because Sony notoriously fucked up the PS3 launch (and in the end, PS3 sold more anyways lmao). It also had the red ring of death issue.
The Xbox One was when they started the hardcore ramp up of enshittification which never ended even after continually losing in every way to the competition.
The OG Xbox worked well, and at least managed to outsell the GameCube (though not by a lot).
Is the game buggy? Worry not! Microsoft™ Copilot 365™ powered by Azure™ will analyze your gameplay in realtime, detect when a bug occurs, and redirect you to an AI generated troubleshooting page.
I don't. Personally, I don't believe that AI assisted coding has a future, and I don't like the quality of what it produces. Either we achieve AGI or whatever the finance bros are hyping up this week, or we don't. If we do, then AI can write code without having a human in the loop, so "vibe coding" is dead. If we don't, then AI code stays where its at right now, which is garbage quality. After a few years vibe coding disasters, demand for human coding will increase, and my skills will be much more valuable than even before all this craziness. In that case, letting those skills atrophy today would be the wrong move.
And if I'm wrong? Well, if AI code generation makes it so anyone who doesn't know how to code can do it... then surely I'll be able to figure it out? My existing skills wouldn't hurt.
What is this a solution to? You're going to pay high prices even if you don't buy from Amazon, due to Amazon's illegal price fixing. That's what the OP is about.
Things are at a point where the only solution is in the courts.
I don't see anything particularly unique about that WoW editor, as pretty much every terrain editor used to look like that. Nowadays, the focus is more on procedural generation for higher realism and fidelity, but I'm sure there are still plenty of tools and/or plugins for hand painting them.
There are also a ton of different ways to do it in blender. You can set it up yourself, or find one of many plugins that can streamline the process.
A convoluted, impractical, legally dubious, but maximally cool alternative is to hijack a commercial game's level editor. I know at least Far Cry 2 has a level editor with a terrain system. If you can reverse engineer the level format, you can write a script that'll convert them to whatever format you need... Just make sure you don't keep the meshes and textures from the game.
Time to coin a new term. The "bus factor" is the risk of a critical maintainer being hit by a bus. We need one now for the risk of them developing chatbot psychosis/brainrot.
