Thank you, that makes perfect sense. It’s easy to fall from the outside into the trap of judging it by the “smarter than you club” label, and forgetting that probably isn’t the point for most members, and the club part is the important one.

Is Hypraland the one with the extremely homophobic and toxic community/creator? I remember looking up their discord and he was spewing vile homophobic stuff and people who didn’t like that were getting muted.

And there was something about free desktop banning it?

Looks like it is. https://drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/Hyprland-toxicity.html

I don’t get why something like Mesa even exists. Like, what even is the moment where pulling out your Mensa card is a good idea?

Assuming you are inteligent, you should know that flashing a card from a gatekept “clever people” club will probably not impress many people, just like you should recognize that the test you did doesn’t mean shit and IQ is not a good way how to measure people.

As far as I know monero didn’t really have that issue, of being a pyarmid scheme, while also being privacy-respecting way more than Bitcoin.

Which is also why it’s starting to get banned in Europe. As far as I know, most brokers don’t even sell it.

This is the principle behind the rotor ships. It really is just a rotating cylinder.

That was probably the dramma about Fedora ending support of 32b libraries, which Steam heavily relies on and won’t easily work without.

It’s still being discussed, and even if they go through with it (which is a PR suicide for Fedora), it won’t be earlier than in two years.

Isn’t Aurora still Fedora? Then it probably wouldn’t solve the issue with gaming on Fedora being made so difficult to set up, that it forced one of the more popular distros to shut down.

Bazzite is a gaming focused distro, so I wager that that would be a major problem for a lot of people.

The only choice for a lot of gamers (including me) will simply be to not use Fedora, and find a new distro to switch to, which is a shame. (Although, it will probably just be SteamOS at that point). I’m also worried about my Lenovo Legion Go. It’s unusable with Windows, and Bazzite being atomic is a really really good fit for it, and they have builds specially tailored for Legion.

But we still have two years to go, so we’ll see. I don’t think Fedora has the power and market share to force others to follow with depreciation of 32b, and unless other distros join in, it will just be a PR disaster and people will just begrudgingly move to other distros.

I also really recommend EmuVR, it’s a frontend for Retroarch, that is the most archetypal 80s room in VR, with CRT tvs, your roms as physical disk or cartriges, and each core has it’s physical model you plug into the TV, plop yourself down in front of it, and can play. It makes the experience way, way better than playing on an LCD or a phone, and it’s my favorite VR experience I found so far.

I really like logseq for my personal knowledge base, notes, and in general magaging things from to-dos, reading lists or personal projects.

The way you can structure information relationally, and espetially the “referenced from” preview that’s on each page makes it really easy to get an overwiev of something, and the query language to make your of previews (such as, list every unfinished to-do with a deadline this week) makes it a pretty powerfull tool.

Figuring out syncing, especially on mobile, took some time, since it lives in a git repo, but there are some plugins for it on PC and on mobile I just use Termux with CLI git.

I’m more fan of the https://www.vim-hero.com/.

Also, one think I was surprised by when I switched to Lazyvim/Ideavim/vscodevim setup few months ago - it’s a lot of fun. Learning vim properly is like the dark souls of typing. Sure, you probably won’t be as efficient for the first few years, but learning new motion combos is pretty fun, to the point where the minor loss in efficiency doesn’t really bother me. Blasting out combos you’ve been practicing to do that one move efficiently, or discovering another new cool way how to do something is a continuous and fun process. It’s basically gamifying typing.

So, if you want a boost in efficiency, just learn all the keybinds your current text editor has (jump to next param/function, multi-line editting, go to definition without using mouse, etc.), and start using them. You’ll probably master all of them in few weeks and be much more efficient.

If, however, you enjoy slowly mastering something, vim will give you years of stuff to learn and master. Is it worth it? Probably not, but it’s suprisingly satisfying!

This furniture is actually a sex furniture. At least it’s marketed as such locally, exactly the same shape, and pretty popular at local fetish/BDSM events.

Unless you need to work on a solution with more than a few projects, such as Unity games. Then the LSPs go haywire and eat 20+Gb of memory, while not actually working.

Which, ofc, is Microsoft’s fault, since it’s their analyzer that has had the bug for years now. Rider didn’t have that problem, but it shits itself when you change branches. You can’t win :(

It’s more of a time for a Mexican Joker anyway.

That’s exactly how I found out about this, I was really looking forward to that game.

I think I also saw it somewhere else, but don’t remember what it was.

You are right, edited. I remember reading somewhere that they do hardware-based whitelisting, and that it was based on the screen’s HW, but the point was that they can (and a lot of game unfortunately do) somehow whitelist Steamdeck only, while still not letting desktop Linux play.

It’s even worse.

They are adding Linux support - but only if it detects you are running the exact model of OLED screen as Steam Deck has on SteamDeck, and blocks every other Linux device.

EDIT: There is some kind of hardware validation that can’t be easily spoofed, I vaguely remember reading it was based on the screen HW, but that’s beside the point.

Nope, thermostat (yes, that thing that has one "if temperature < XX, turn on heater) is literally considered an intelligent agent, as defined by the actual field of Artificial Intelligence, it’s one of the first examples taught on the most basic of courses.

You should really go do your homework about absolute basics of AI field before insulting random people that at least have a semblance of knowledge about the field, other than “AI hype, AI cool”.

People like you are insulting the whole field of Artificial Inteligence, so please stop spreading bullshit about it before you get good (or at the very least, don’t be a dick about it, when people try to educate you). You probably had no idea the field even exists two years ago.

Literally yes. Thermostat (yes, the thing that turns your heater on if temperature is lower than XX) is considered an inteligent agent in the field of artifical inteligence.

The fact that you have a bunch of techbros who have no idea about what the field is about and are hyping the words because they sound cool changes nothing about it being a regular established academic field.

Oh boy, you have a lot to learn about what Artificial Intelligence actually means for people who have been in academia or gamedev for the past 20 years.
