Contrast with the Dolphin emulator release blogs. I swear I’ve spent more timing reading those releases than actually using the software

New games run really well on Linux. At this point, I don't even check. If it's an online competitive game, I can't play it. Otherwise, it almost certainly will work on Arch Linux

I may be out of pocket here, but I think the Hacker News crowd of tech bros who spy on people for a living have a biased opinion on whether spying on people is normal

I’ve made a point of not installing any AUR packages. It’s really tempting when there’s a package that’s not available via pacman, but at the end of the day I’d rather build from s…

Torment doomers claim that the commodification of humanity’s suffering will usher in a dark age, but quarterly earnings have never been higher. I trust that Death Star Inc has huma…

It’s both “exactly what the EO says” and “I can’t remember what the EO said”. He’s blatantly lying

> In the future, maybe by Thursday, I can have agents do all of that and relax. Wall-E seems like it’s getting closer to reality every day

Does your MBP have 32 GB of ram? I’m waiting on a local model that can run decently on 16 GB

> So their proposal is a superior primitive. This lines up with my thinking. The proposal should give us a building block in the form of the primitive. I would expect the grandpare…

That's even more convincing. I wouldn't want to be in the RoboTaxi that's getting hit by a bus

It’s more that many adult citizens (and increasing every year) have grown up with the patriot act and liberties being stripped away in the name of security. I talked with cousins a…

I loved learning Computer Engineering in college because it de-mystified the black box that was the PC I used growing up. I learned how it worked holistically, from physics to logi…

No more updates in the middle of a multi-player game with friends. How will I ever live without Windows?

Reminds me of when I was younger and thought of companies like Google and Tesla as a force for good that will create and use technology to make people's lives better. Surely OpenAI…

Maybe the AI hype is a misdirect so we will blame LLMs for future tech failures instead of the engineers who built up these services

I was able to hack together a toy game with godot-rust several years ago, and it had some rough edges but I was able to integrate Bevy’s ECS with godot’s editor and rendering. I’ve…

If Microsoft vibe codes a Linux distro and calls it Windows 360 Copilot, I’m on board with the conspiracy theory that the Hadron Collider broke reality

> Most people aren’t here for political topics. Or rather, most people aren’t here to have their preconceived notions challenged by reality. Politics is a nebulous term for topics …

Funny enough, this is the game compatibility that convinced me that Linux was worthwhile switching over to. With Arch Linux + the nvidia-open package, the Linux desktop experience …

I put up with so much Windows crap over the years, and Windows 11 was the final straw. It’s not even the gaming OS anymore as Linux feels snappier and more stable for running games…

If the tech industry leaders demonstrated any amount of responsibility, accountability, or care for the general well-being of people, then I think this would instead be an exciting…

Depending on your hardware and gaming needs, the current state of Linux gaming may already be enough. I run Arch with an Nvidia GPU (which historically had poor Linux support compa…

If there wasn't global-scale theft of art and content or if LLMs could produce something better than an inferior facsimile, I bet there would be less backlash. But instead we had a…

The obvious conclusion to me is that corruption is involved

It's pathetic how many people just shrug their shoulders at it and let it happen. The president is a corrupt clown, and people delude themselves into accepting it so they can line …
