I read online that playing games on a shared screen is better because it establishes gaming as a group/social activity.

A few weeks ago, I installed linux (Nobara, if you're curious) on my PC and hooked it up to the living room TV to use as a gaming console. I have absolutely no regret. I did it ini…

Why are you asking this given what the parent comment described? Are you accusing them of lying or blowing things out of proportion? I'm truly, honestly happy that you have not exp…

I wonder if you can really claim copyright on ai generated music like aiva is trying to do.

You describe the music you want in text and it generates the whole music with or without lyrics (your choice) a la stable diffusion. You can optionally supply it with your own lyri…
