I don’t really feel like going down the rabbit hole of trying a hundred different distros to maybe find one that works. My experiences with those two were that things were completely broken, randomly. Like just trying to boot the USB installer would lock up half the time, the installer itself would fail partway through most of the time, when things got fully installed, trying to update or install new things would just fail randomly. The kde desktop would crash just from me changing settings in the kde menus.

They are ranked number 3 and 13 on distro watch, so they are hardly unknown. And lots on Linux YouTubers were talking about how great they were.

My priorities are being able to run Davinci resolve and Steam games. Nobara ticks those boxes while advertising itself as user friendly. I have heard too many stories of people having trouble getting this stuff running on something like Linux mint, so I didn’t go in that direction. I need to do more with my computer than just view web sites or write code.

A couple weeks ago I attempted to switch over to Linux. Tried installing both Cachyos and Nobara. It was kind of a shit show, nothing worked correctly, stuff was erroring out and crashing left and right, and after a couple days I gave up.

Today I went ahead and installed windows 11. There were some issues… It wouldn’t recognize my CD key, and I accidentally wiped a partition from the wrong drive. But as for the os itself, I spent a few hours getting things set up, and it’s not as horrible as I thought it would be. I was able to simply turn off most of the shit like copilot and recall, and all the advertisements, and I pretty much have it working as I want it to.

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

I dunno, all I see on Roku is an image banner on the home screen. I never even look at it.

Yeah, normal YouTube is totally unwatchable. If you have a Roku device, the Playlet app can let you watch without ads. There are probably methods for other devices too.

AI often gets painted as people vs businesses, but that’s not necessarily what it is in many cases. The EFF is arguing for fair use, which is something that they have stood for as long as I can remember. As the article argues, the businesses creating AIs can easily abide by this law, it’s the little guys training things that would be impacted the most.

Anyone have a link to the text of the bill?

I’m confused, isn’t the translation just on phone, not on the earbuds themselves? What does this have to do with the Airpods?

I’m not going to download and install an app for every damn restaurant I want to eat at.

Hopefully they will finally announce some kind of a proper remake. I thought the dragon quest xi engine would have been perfect for it, but I would settle for one of those hd2d things.

And we are still waiting on the day when these models can actually be run on AMD GPUs without jumping through hoops.

Would it be possible for a browser or extension to just provide false metadata in order to subvert this type of fingerprinting?

Per the article, they just developed a faster algorithm for a specific type of material simulation.

This looks like it has some potential. I’ll probably give this a try.

I’ve been playing this game ever since beta and have enjoyed it. It’s a shame to see it go, but I guess I got my money’s worth, since I paid nothing. Still, I can’t understand why they can’t just let people keep playing online like every other fighting game out there. I would even be willing to pay a one time fee if I knew the basic gameplay would remain available.

I feel like if an NPC doesn’t have something meaningful to say, then they may as well not exist. Otherwise they just serve to waste the players time.

I eagerly await the announcement of a 32 inch handheld next year.

LOL, their demo shows Cyberpunk running at a mere 27fps on the 5090 with DLSS off. Is that supposed to sell me on this product?
