That is so bitter sweet. I got a pizza thief of my own, I hope she has many good years left in her, but I will keep your husky in mind.

I agree. And luckily for Lemmy and all other FOSS projects the worst that can happen is a fork of the project is created with a potentially fractured community.

But that’s exactly what I said in the beginning. The worst that can happen is the original creators take the project in an undesired direction so a fork is created.

I guess the closest I know of is Maps.me and Organic Maps? Maps.me was open source, but got purchased and enshittified, so Organic Maps was forked from it. And now there is some drama with the Organic Maps shareholders/co-founders, so unless that is (or has it already been?) sorted out we’re likely to see another fork of it.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the main dev(s) members of lemmy.ml? So I can certainly see how differing political views could skew the development of the main branch of Lemmy.

The protocol itself could surely start its journey if enshittification? In which case different, possibly incompatible, branches would spawn fragmenting the Lemmy space. Still miles better than the whole thing burning to the ground. But with no shareholders looming around (yet) we can hope it won’t come to that.

I do unfortunately still use it for my VR sim racing. But half of that is because I got a quest 3 as an entry point for VR. I’d love to get one where you don’t have to fiddle around with video compression and WiFi latency.

I don’t mean to “um achtually” you or diminish the point you’re making, but I would like to highlight one example of an ethnically trained AI.

Voice Swap pay artist to come in and record data for training, the artist then get royalties any time someone uses their voice. I discovered it through Benn Jordan’s video about poising music track from AI training.

Banana, Melon, Kiwi & Lemon in my ass 😐

If you’re in a situation where a bot decides to not match with you… well I got some bad news.

I can agree with it for elderly people and/or people with a sever chronic condition who have little to keep suffering for. But for younger people with “fixable” problem I would hope we first male sure they get all the support they could need and want before euthanasia becomes an option. I know we aren’t anywhere close pretty much anywhere in the world, but in the interim until we get there? I don’t know, be angry at politicians and voters until they stop gutting public health care maybe.

I would personally recommend popos or mint. I have varying amount of experience with the others.

Bazzite is very hyped on Lemmy, I don’t quite understand how it works, it seems good for what it is, but I don’t know if I would recommend it as someone’s first Linux daily driver.

Manjaro seems great most of the time, until the maintainers mess something up and royally screw up your system. But that’s just things I’ve heard, your milage will vary.

Nobara worked really well for me, but ultimately I wasn’t very comfortable to use a distro maintained by one guy, even if that guy is glorious egg roll.

I personally use popos. I wish it was fedora based like Nobara, but you can’t have it all. Wow works straight out the box. There are appimages or deb packages for warcraft logs and curse as well, so they work fine.

That’s something that bothers me in the UK. Many businesses are ran out of terrace houses. Especially dentists. They can look alright on the inside, but it really gave me the ick when looking for one and only seeing a dingy row of houses on google maps.

Pen and paper maths I’m pretty decent at, but ask me to calculate anything in my head and it’s anyone’s guess if I remembered to carry the 1 or not. Ever since learning about aphantasia I’m wondering if the lack of being able to visually store values has something to do with it.

Oh, shoot, you’re absolutely right!

He partially has lungs and a vocal chord ?

Though it reminds me of a conversation you can over hear in one of the Divine Divinity Baldurs Gate games between two skeletons, who talk themselves into how they shouldn’t function, and then promptly fall to the floor in a pile.

Edit: corrected the game

Looks like Warzone is one of the unfortunate ones, the kernel level anti cheat currently stops it from working on Linux.

Reka (added to my wishlist 😄) seems to run well. If it will run straight out the box or not seems to be a little hit and miss. You can check any troubleshooting steps on protondb. This shows Linux isn’t quite at the “it just works” stage. But for this title if you do run into an issue it seems like an easy fix.

Cyberpunk runs really well. I haven’t had to tweak anything for my install.

I have a very extensive steam, gog, and battle.net library with all kinda of games from wolfenstein 3D to Baulders Gate 3. The only game I haven’t been able to run is Ground Control 2, but that doesn’t work on windows 10 (possible a USB device issue). Unless you play a game with an anti cheat that explicitly deny Linux (the only one I know off the top of my head that does that is Fortnite) you are most likely good to go. I’m quite a performance/fps snobb, and I haven’t found any game that runs worse on Linux either.

There’s a difference between lossy and lossless. You can compress anything down to a single bit if you so wish, just don’t expect to get everything back. That’s how lossy compression works.

He’s said that even years later it has held up remarkably well. Obviously not millimetre precision, but enough to measure bolt sizes and such.

Edit: I know you said it tongue in cheek, but just an FYI for anyone curious

Right, that makes it a bit easier to go that route. Now I just need to secure a decent domain name that’s easy to spell out over the phone ^^
