I’m a dorky inflatable latex coyote! Linux nerd, baker, some 3D things as I learn. Also love latex. The material, not the typography thing.

Bazzite is basically that, with a foundation of Fedora Atomic instead of Arch, but otherwise it’s extremely similar, designed to be super easy. Even as a Linux nerd it was a breath of fresh air compared even to the simplicity of some other distros.
Kind of a wide variety of things that varies from person to person in often absurd ways – broken in ways I’ve never seen Macs or Linux systems be, nor even Windows 10 and older.
And that’s just my personal experiences. The ones I’ve seen others deal with is much weirder.
Honestly I’m buying more into the idea of how ostree distros work; Windows is like a very broken version of that anymore.
It’d have to literally be a full CPU that somehow has only read access to the RAM such that it’d be a genuine feat of engineering. Either that or the whole thing is just a virtualized device, but the cooling demands for either method would exceed the threshold for passive cooling in those enclosures and require fans at that point.
Bloomberg wrote an article several years ago that was absolutely slaughtered for making up from bad sources such a chip concept except even more unbelievable because they claimed it was hidden inside the PCB itself and only like 6 or 8 pins? Absolutely absurd for anyone who understands electrical engineering or microcontrollers at all.
Truly a terrible day to have eyes
I hate that this is the most accurate answer almost certainly. Maybe it’ll shame people into not submitting more often than it would’ve for people sneaking it in.
It may be a reality of the actions, but a lot of this sentiment is rooted in capitalism’s aims of “income = morality”. It ends up being classist often punching downwards to folks who utilize “buy now pay later” services. They operate on the idea of preying on people who aren’t paid their due for the work that they do, and are trying to be able to afford some nice things.
Possible OP isn’t low income and just utilizing it anyway, but it’s a bad sentiment to lever at anyone. Blame the shitty practices and systems designed around fucking over people, not the people who get screwed by the systems designed to do so.
How does that compare to WaterFox or similar? I’m guessing it’s not running a dated framework like PaleMoon?
It’s mostly that a feature on it went from “okayish” to “far more consumer-friendly”, which was incredibly unexpected of them to do. Everyone figured Steam library sharing would die but instead they roll out Family that has far looser restrictions than the system they’d had for over a decade.
Can’t play the same game at the same time unless both own it, and DLC isn’t shared, but my partner being able to play anything I own that I’m not playing is pretty rad of a positive change.
Meanwhile Nintendo’s system got worse instead.
I don’t think “don’t chime in if you don’t actually know, or just ask instead of make a baseless assertion”, is “insulting”. If anything it’s just bluntly pushing for better nettiquette, and coming out swinging in the manner your post did does no favors.
Just take time before posting to ask yourself “is this asking a question, or am I making an assertion I’ll excuse as being a question later instead of just asking?” Your post was very much the latter. I don’t think you intended it, but it’s a byproduct of conditioning short-length social media engagement has kind of created in many of us overtime. It’s healthy to undo that.
The real reason companies do this is to make an example out of someone to other employees. It’s shitty and fucked. They absolutely could have even with the write-up or termination but they have to make everything super serious because management is always on a power trip at the store level.
15 years ago when I was working for Best Buy this happened with a cashier/service rep eating bags of snacks from boxes destined for the shelves. During a meeting where he wasn’t present management let us know it was happening, told us the plan to wait til it was well over $100 total so they could have him arrested, and told us that if anyone told him to stop they’d be written up. They didn’t want him to stop, they wanted an example to make.
Even at the time I thought it was weird we couldn’t stop him. I saw him later eating a snack that week and felt a tug to say something but fear of losing my income, my ability to pay rent and for food, held my tongue. Part of me felt like it was “get him” but I think that was solely a defense mechanism for fear of losing my job.
Fuck every one of those managers, and every one here too.
Skimming cash is a hell of a lot different than food being eaten though. Cash can go to anything. Food just goes to the toilet.
I guess they found out when they saw a couple glow in the shark :3
I haven’t had disk issues, am running a 980 Pro SSD currently, but I’ve definitely noticed other weirdness that sure feels more like that? Half-Life crashing repeatedly in map loads sometimes succeeding fine and other times not. Firefox broke wholesale until I reinstalled it and even then had to do a refresh to fully solve it. I haven’t seen anything else weird thankfully but this definitely has me concerned and glad I’m backing up with a very long rolling period just in case. Gonna uninstall this update for sure.
My assumption was it had something to do with the drivers for the controller, and the update flooding it faster than it could take data and not caching everything it couldn’t cram into controller DRAM, causing parts to just get dropped wholesale.
I think the problem is that you think you’re talking like a time traveler heralding us about the wonders of sliced bread, when really it’s more like telling a small Victorian child about the wonders of Applebee’s and in the impossible chance they survive to it then finding everything is a lukewarm microwaved pale imitation of just buying the real thing at Aldi and cooking it in less time for far tastier and a fraction of the cost.
If you want to argue in favor of your slop machine, you’re going to have to stop making false equivalences, or at least understand how its false. You can’t make ground on things that are just tangential.
A computer in 1980 was still a computer, not a chess machine. It did general purpose processing where it followed whatever you guided it to. Neural models don’t do that though; they’re each highly specialized and take a long time to train. And the issue isn’t with neural models in general.
The issue is neural models that are being purported to do things they functionally cannot, because it’s not how models work. Computing is complex, code is complex, adding new functionality that operates off of fixed inputs alone is hard. And now we’re supposed to buy that something that creates word relationship vector maps is supposed to create new?
For code generation, it’s the equivalent of copying and pasting from Stack Overflow with a find/replace, or just copying multiple projects together. It isn’t something new, it’s kitbashing at best, and that’s assuming it all works flawlessly.
With art, it’s taking away creation from people and jobs. I like that you ignored literally every point raised except for the one you could dance around with a tangent. But all these CEOs are like “no one likes creating art or music”. And no, THEY just don’t want to spend time creating themselves nor pay someone who does enjoy it. I love playing with 3D modeling and learning how to make the changes I want consistently, I like learning more about painting when texturing models and taking time to create intentional masks. I like taking time when I’m baking things to learn and create, otherwise I could just go buy a box mix of Duncan Hines and go for something that’s fine but not where I can make things when I take time to learn.
And I love learning guitar. I love feeling that slow growth of skill as I find I can play cleaner the more I do. And when I can close my eyes and strum a song, there’s a tremendous feeling from making this beautiful instrument sing like that.
I’m surprised it’s white enough.
I’ve seen multiple emulator devs frustrated with how demanding the project itself is, but moreso toxic behavior from the lead developer towards emulator devs and users alike. Can’t handle any kind of even constructive criticism worth a damn and when people understandably are frustrated by him lashing out he then turns it back around to say they’re out to get him.
Agreed really, but less about the RetroArch part and more just in general with the way this person in particular is. In my mind, if you’re not ready to be able to turn the project over to the community to maintain instead of yourself because you’re as much of a controlling prick as this guy, then you should never make it even source-available and should just keep it private source.
Will it make you even more frustrated to learn Steam has a Linux-native build of Substance Painter, but Adobe still won’t support it themselves?
