  • Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has replaced the Hide Desktop icon with Copilot.

    Jump

  • Linux exists people, without copilot using your information for training data and if you game, has Valve releasing updates like crazy for proton making it easier and easier to use Linux for gaming. The only thing I use Windows for is GeForce now as the windows and Mac apps are the only way for me to play 1440p 120fps with their service.

    Good beginner distros: pop_os, Ubuntu, Linux mint, Nobara or fedora, Garuda, Manjaro, solus, zorin. The possibilities are really endless. Just take your pick, make a bootable USB and try it out.

  • OpenAI Gives ChatGPT a Better ‘Memory’

  • I've briefly used bard before they rolled it into Gemini and bard was really quick and accurate. Now that bard is Gemini they seem to have deliberately handicapped the performance of the free product as it really needs very specific prompts to get an answer that's helpful and takes twice as long as bard. Currently I use codeium (not to be confused with codium which is another ai code product) for code reviewing and a linter, and bing AI for general questions. Bing AI is quick, but I've noticed it provides the simplest and quickest answers it can provide, almost like it provides the first answer it finds and nothing else, that can be good and bad. As for copilot, I refuse to pay for it because it really is a good product and should be available to everyone that wants to learn coding, but I get it, they gotta make money I just think it's bullshit to withhold something like that.

  • The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs

    Jump

  • You're kidding right? Bobby Kotick doesn't give a shit, he's laughing all the way to the bank. He's the only winner in this situation other than Microsoft. Regardless of the Microsoft merger, he was on his way out, he would've left even if it hadn't gone through, this just gave him an excuse to leave quicker and get a fat paycheck on his way out.

    It's also not about spending Microsoft's money. Yes they have it, but consolidating so many developers under one roof removes an aspect of the competitive market. Which historically means less competition, higher prices, less innovation and poor quality control.

    But I mean, hey, you get CoD on gamepass now! That's pretty cool right?! Right...........?

  • Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web

    Jump

  • It's ironic yeah, but if trust is the only way to implement something like this, then Mozilla is probably the one company I would trust considering they're a non-profit org.

  • Darknet diaries had a really good episode on this guy and his mod chip business. It's really fascinating stuff, but Nintendo really ruined his life.

  • Microsoft lays off 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees

    Jump

  • https://publish.obsidian.md/vg-layoffs/Archive/2024 not sure if this is what you're looking for but someone has been tracking overall video game layoffs for the past 3 years. 2023 was approximately 10,600, we're halfway there at 5600 in 2024 and it's only been a month. That's pretty fucked.

  • Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX

    Jump

  • Tried using Vivaldi at one point and I really liked it but it was noticeably slower than both Firefox and chrome even though it's just another chromium fork. I've since switched back to Firefox and haven't looked back.

  • Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy, Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source

    Jump

  • Wow, I fucking hate this guy the more he opens his mouth. He can seriously fuck off right now, if he thinks AI realistically needs him at this point he's sadly mistaken.

  • No thanks, I'll stick to dota 2 and cs2. Everyone else should do the same, this kernel level anti cheat doesn't even work. Well, no anti cheat is perfect, but vanguard isn't any better than any other anti cheat. All it's doing is collecting data about your computer and running at an insanely invasive level.

  • Qualcomm will try to have its Apple Silicon moment in PCs with “Snapdragon X”

  • Whoever can make a compatibility layer that successfully translates x86/64 to arm and vice versa and make it widely available will be a major player in the market. Valve has already somewhat done something similar with proton and Apple with Rosetta 2.

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

    Jump

  • Only version of fedora anyone should be using for games is Nobara. The simple fact is fedora may be rock solid, but it's definitely not as intuitive for a new user to add things like the copr repo for additional software etc.

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

    Jump

  • As others have said, Mint or Pop_OS are your best options. It really depends on what you want in terms of layout. Do you want a more apple mac osx look or a Windows look, if you want Mac then pop, if you want Windows then mint. They're both based on the same OS, Ubuntu, and in Mint's case there's a Debian edition. None of these have a price, they're free, you have nothing to lose trying them out.
