I didn’t mention obedience, I mentioned pleasantness. Not sure what you’re on about with reports either. You ok?

I feel like the best lesson in here wasn’t numbered, but in the opening statement: > the longer I’ve stayed, the more I’ve realized that the engineers who thrive aren’t necessarily the best programmers - they’re the ones who’ve figured o

I don’t feel like a hostage on any of my OS’s to be honest, even windows.

Yeah I’m not surprised, the steam deck hardware was picked with the best compatibility in mind. I’m aware in my case I have non-ideal hardware for Linux, such as an nvidia card.

I believe that’s their point

by jama211 10mo ago
Yup. They’re not stupid, they’re sunsetting that pandering to consumers OS market.

by jama211 10mo ago
Depends on your hardware. I have a pascal era nvidia card, and everything _supposedly_ works, but games have issues for me still that aren’t concrete, e.g. cyberpunk crashes in specific and repeatable locations for seemingly no reason and i

In general I agree with you but there is one difference - a sneaky user with physical access can read it and _not_ change it, vs changing it. The latter is more detectable. But this is minor.

So you’re still rolling a 6 sided dice every time you try a new game as to whether it works at all, and half the time you need to tweak it still? That’s a reasonably large barrier to entry then. I have arch Linux but I still boot into windo

I dislike windows 11 also and mostly use a mac these days and my gaming pc is dual booted with arch… but windows 10 and windows 11 for me are so very similar that I’m confused about the outrage between them. In both situations I turned off

Why not? There’s a known way to skip the security thingo that complains and it works on basically anything that runs windows 10

Depends on how you count it

Sure, they’ll gain more of the gaming enthusiast segment for sure this way, and it will be a tipping point for those users. I just hope that there are ways beyond the gaming sphere to create converts though, as enthusiast gaming is still a

Windows doesn’t really have an enthusiast community, it just has users.

Steam users represent well the pc gaming crowd, but they don’t represent well the majority of the mac or Linux user crowd, of course. But you raise a good point that some users will stop using windows without ever picking up another desktop

This post does examplefy what we’re seeing, a general indication of some swelling of momentum but I bet it’s still going to be from 2% to maybe 3 or 5% at most until Linux can fix a few things about the community, issues with install diffic

Cool, I have a friend who always mourned the loss of his physical keyboard, I will tell him. I wish it could run standard Linux though (perhaps it can) - would make it a sweet little cyberdeck…

Oh great, now you’re insulting me. Brilliant.

Yeah you’ve lost me here I’m sorry. In the real world humans work with AI tools to create new things. What you’re saying is the equivalent of “when a human writes a book in English, because they use words and letters that already exist and

The difference between the performance of models between 2024 and 2025 has been so stark, that graph really shows it. There are still many people on these forums who seem to think AI’s produce terrible code unless ultra supervised, and I ca

This article right here even sane washes their words, if you can’t see that I don’t know what to tell you.

They’re no where near critical enough until they start calling a lie a lie.
383.
by jama211 10mo ago
No I genuinely think that whilst they might be critical of trump it’s not enough, they’re sane washing the words of this administration as if we can _even take them at face value_ and frankly I’m sick of it.

by jama211 10mo ago
I suspect you’re not asking that in good faith.
385.
by jama211 10mo ago
Right?
386.
by jama211 10mo ago
No, I read the whole article. I’m allowed to have an opinion on how an article comes across with their reporting without being accused of being ignorant thank you very much.

Wake me up when an industrial revolution brings wealth back to impoverished states. I expect I’ll be asleep for some time…

The original topic was whether we can trust anything they say, and we absolutely can’t. No one is wishing it fails, only either predicting it could, or assuming the goals are made in bad faith.

by jama211 10mo ago
I do assume evil not stupid, which is why I don’t believe any of their stated goals for even one second.

by jama211 10mo ago
The current administration has proven you can cry wolf or lie 19 times a day and their support barely wavers. I take their stated goals as far as I can throw them, remember when they had a stated goal to build a wall and make Mexico pay for
