  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • Mint is the most similar environment for Windows to more easily transfer over and get used to?

    I seems Mint kernel version is rather behind - does it support the latest AMD GPUs out of the box?

  • Pretending to be the average Joe to see what issues may occur certainly does has it's place - before an expert informs them of what they aught to do. That's not to say people creating software cannot do better to appeal to the average user's needs but it's falls on experts to teach them to do tech right.

  • NVIDIA could enter the desktop CPU market with performance equal to AMD and Intel

    Jump

  • I mean if it's 2nd hand.. and the free (libre) drivers are good.. and AMD hasn't gone full Intel.. maybe??

  • EA is hiring a Senior Anti-Cheat Engineer to lead development of a native ARM64 driver for their Javelin kernel anti-cheat system and start laying groundwork for Linux/Proton support

    Jump

  • The kernal provides tools to inspect the system that userspace-only probably never can. So "works" here would be not crashing when it cannot investigate. The dev of the game Rust (which previously supported Linux) has brazenly said game devs are not serious about anti-cheat if they support Linux. Rust still has cheaters on Microslop Windows as kernal access isn't even enough. Linux is better of not chasing the delution that is modern client side anti-cheat.

  • I'm willing to celebrate.. if it's a net positive in the end. Linux gamers being able to play big titles, or game with Windows-using friends is good. Having to run DRM/adware/rootkit "anti-cheat", subscriptions and dark patterns is very bad.

    My outlook on the modern games industry is very low overall and I don't see how to fix it. If I could do anything I'd instead promote and invest into "open source" games (software freedom respecting games).

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • The zed-industries Github repository lists Zed licenses as AGPL, Apache and GPLv3.

    The AGPL refers to the GNU Affero General Public license, which does not limit others from competing. Unless you mean the fact that forks must share source code when accessed over a network?

  • We Overhauled Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy - Another VC funded bait and switch

    Jump

  • Never understood a terms of service existing if the project code license is GPL or such. Can't this just be forked and cured of anti features, if people value it enough to do so?

    Binding arbitration (aka, if we break the law you can't sue us) aught to be illegal in every country.

  • U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material

    Jump

  • I'm not an artist, I just write silly game systems. I took for granted that a handwritting machine was an easy assumption. I doubt AI companies even have the insentive to try and create physical handwriting/sketching but I see no reason to believe it's impossible.

    Here appears to be a handwriting printer "holding" a pen. People can probably tell this was not human written but I just imagine a machine that can replicate human hand motion better - like a robot hand on a robot arm.

  • U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material

    Jump

  • If the training data for "drafts" and "hand written notes" exists then one can train an AI on it, and generate it the same way. Do some artists share such things?

  • U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material

    Jump

  • Instead of considering if the whole work is now copyrightable, consider parts of the work made by generative AI are not and the human parts are (if they reach the minimum line of creativity). Sure there's other helpful tools that do some of the work but unless they're substituting the creativity then they need not apply.

  • U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material

    Jump

  • Seems impossible to me but I'm not an artist - I write code as a hobby and see no way to definitively prove I wrote any code that an AI could also produce. Is there any aspect of art creation that an AI cannot replicate?

  • Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash

    Jump

  • It's where people are, sadly.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

    Jump

  • Probably not if it depends on Google Pain Services?

  • Polish Train Maker Is Suing the Hackers Who Exposed Its Anti-Repair Tricks

    Jump

  • If you post hard enough you can get a company to sue you out of desperation.

  • Which is better, Unity or Godot?

    Jump

  • Godot is yours to control. You, and others, can change the engine and share those changes.

    Someone else controls what your copy of Unity does, and they want to get paid. They can alter the deal at any time. Spend year(s) investing while praying they do not alter the deal any further.

    There are other considerations one can discuss (what do you want to make, user prior coding experince, what jobs want these days) but if you value your software freedom it's an easy question answered by looking at the software license. MIT > Proprietary.

  • Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’

    Jump

  • Please do not, that's disgusting, thank you.

  • Attorney General James Sues Game Developer for Promoting Illegal Gambling Through Video Games

    Jump

  • Even without the chance to earn real money the spirit of gambling still remains. Does buying trading cards (hoping to get one's desired pocket monster) look good on reflection? Companies "creating" value aribtrarily.

  • The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux

    Jump

  • Can't say it's obvious how to change certificates on my motherboard. Just updated the BIOS and had to turn off SecureBoot so it could boot into my Linux install (MSI B450 Tomahawk Max).

  • The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux

    Jump

  • Who decides what SecureBoot considers trustworthy? If SecureBoot is controlled by someone else then it can be used against the user. The aversion to SecureBoot is justified.
