Valve is working on linux as more of an exit strategy should MS go apeshit and go full walled garden. Their work started following MS floating ideas of a walled garden about a decade ago.

Its less “Everyone deserves to play games” and more “We gotta cover our asses”. Just that we all benefit in the end.

Dude, I’m so mustard right now.

Unfortunately society encourages and glorifies shitty behaviour. So this behaviour is completely normalised for the majority of people who see it as a thing to be desired, rather than something thats shitty.

“You WILL use AI, this is not negotiable”

Sudo what?

It is a 5 minute operation to learn how to use a VPN.

Many are, quite literally, just install and hit connect. Something an online tutorial can teach you in about a minute or two.

Maybe a bit longer to learn the other things. But I can assure you from experience that this is something that anyone can learn about in a short amount of time.

Bit of a far cry from the years of education and training needed to enter space.

You say this as if people are utterly incapable of learning.

Anyone can learn anything of they’re given a good enough reason to want to learn.

If they do outlaw it will likely be banned solely for non-business use for this reason alone.

Some tastes can be poor

Some can be influenced as well.

The wonders of marketing making people believe that RGB vomit is desirable.

The only LED i care about is white.

Wild to me how people can look at companies like activision that a notorious for being extremely greedy driven and then act surprised when they find a new way to be greedy.

What do these people expect when they constantly legitimise these tactics by throwing money at these games and their MTX?

The solution? Quit buying the fucking games.

They only used UE5 for the graphical component. The rest is still the original engine.

A bit like the halo master collection.

I can’t imagine that to be all that comfortable given how thin those controllers look.

Seems like a bit of an ergonomic nightmare

Pitchford allegedly left an unsecured USB drive in a Dallas, Texas restaurant called The Medieval Times. The USB drive contained details about Gearbox plans and a number of its corporate partners, including Take-Two Interactive, 2K Games, Sega, Microsoft, Sony. It also allegedly contained “Pitchford’s personal collection of ‘underage’ porn.”

The Grease Homunculus once left a flash drive behind at a restaurant that allegedly contained CSAM.

Yeah they tricked people into believing that Apple added something that allowed users to charge their phones by microwaving them

It’s always the people that don’t have a clue.

It’s also always the people that think they’ll get some benefit out of AI taking over. When they’re absolutely part of the group that’ll be replaced by AI.

Fuckin’ Melvin

I slapped a picture of a chart into Gemini because I didn’t know what the type of chart was called but I wanted to mention it in a Uni report. I was too lazy to go looking at chart types and thought that would be quicker.

I just asked it “What kind of chart is this” and it ignored that and started analysing the chart instead and started stating what the chart was about and giving insights into the chart. Didn’t tell me what kind of chart it was even though that was the only thing I asked.

Bear in mind that I deliberately cropped out any context to avoid it trying to do that, just in case, so all I got from it was pure hallucinations. It was just making pure shit up that I didn’t ask for.

I switched to the reasoning model and asked again, then it gave me the info I wanted.
