  • Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

    Jump

  • You know what would impress me? That I would be able to start using my computer when I boot it in the morning.

    As it stands I have to wait some 5 to 10 minutes before the mouse pointer decides to cooperate with me. And god forbid I attempt to start a Teams meeting, either the camera, mic or screen share will not work at all.

    What the hell is this dumbass operating system doing that is more important than responding to the damn user?

    Same machine, booting Linux, lets me start working right away. No stuttering, no freezes. Go figure.

    Elon Musk suggests AI will make work ‘optional’ and money irrelevant

    Jump

  • Excellent. I'll text you my IBAN so you can transfer me some of your irrelevant money.

  • System keeps freezing

  • /me quickly greps the logs for "nvidia"

    Yep, thar she blows.

  • Paul McCartney joins music industry protest against AI with silent track

    Jump

  • I'm not a musician, but

    Exactly.

  • 'Agentic AI' is current industry buzzword - but what does it mean and should we be cautious?

    Jump

  • I agree with you. I don't mind local AI searching the web for topics I'm interested in and providing me with news and interesting tidbits. I'm not OK with AI having any kind of permission to run executable code.

  • May I join you?

  • I wish the rapture would come already, so all the religious extremists gain their wings and leave me the fuck alone.

  • Steam Machine is huge for indie development

    Jump

  • Mark it up as an advantage of getting old. You get to sit and eat popcorn while people debate issues you've already debated.

    I still want to buy one, mind you.

  • What old movies hold up because of a lack of special effects or because clever use of effects?

    Jump

  • Blasphemy! It is a great movie.

  • xkcd #3166: Big and Little Spoons

    Jump

  • But do you want to be right out do you want to sleep on the sofa?

  • What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

    Jump

  • I have the opposite opinion. I avoided it for years because of the hype (and not having proper hardware to run it).

    Now I have almost 900 hours in it, and sometimes I jump in just to walk around and revisit some places.

  • Moving to linux at home has me using the command line more.

    Jump

  • The command line is perfect for lazy people like me. You spend a bit more putting together a little automation and shove it in a script in ~/bin and you can forget about how it's done.

    Example: I have a small script that does the backup for me using Borg. It backups only the directories I want, ignores a bunch of stuff and keeps 6 months of backups. I spent some time crafting that but now I just plug my external HDD and type backup.sh. or if I'm feeling extra lazy I just click the desktop link.

  • Which year was the most stacked for game releases?

    Jump

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • Keep spreading the good word, brother. Amen.

  • Finally switched my fiancee to bazzite, fuck me was it a trial

    Jump

  • My suspicion for Nvidia not opening their drivers is that they have something shifty going on, maybe benchmark "optimizations" or some other trickery.

    That, and they're plain evil.

    I think it was a Finnish philosopher who once said it best: Fuck you, Nvidia.

  • 72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study

    Jump

  • I'm expecting that to be the case, so I hedge my bets by also buying from GOG and praying for Gabe to have a long life.

    Jump

  • As long as Steam keeps giving me a great platform that doesn't suck, as long as they continue to push Linux gaming forward, I'll keep sending them money.

  • What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?

    Jump

  • Portal and Portal 2 are packed with passive aggressive remarks. One of my favorites:

    Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: "A horrible person." We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep.
