Ow lad he’s coming

Gigachad

I’m a game dev, so I’ll have to at least keep around either a Windows VM or a dual boot system, since Windows is still very popular.

Issue is, a lot of people still using Windows, and Linux pro-audio is still questionable at best (lack of drivers, etc.).

Just ban any instance of generative unconsentual generative nudity, AI or not.

I was so heartbroken once I saw the Mastodon handle of Jack Saint (leftist youtuber), only to the last post of his being “I’m moving to BlueSky”. I’m also asked WhiteLeaf (worker coop behind leftist streamers’s stuff) if they thought on starting their own Mastodon or other instance.

They’re a terrible idea.

Even the plagiarism machine gets plagiarized nowadays…

Elon be like: “What if I got OpenAI’s chatbot and disguised it as mine?”

The “superintelligence” in question: the same old tech, but with a larger context window, which will make it hallucinate a bit less often.

Also GPU drivers.

If you’re mad at NVidia for their closed-source drivers, then remember that ARM seldom makes their Linux drivers available for free, so you have to either have to deal with absolutely no GPU driver while the CPU does the graphics rendering (might not be a big deal on a NAS though), or with open source drivers that are less capable than the Nouveau drivers and even fiddlier to install. The ARM Mali driver issue is so bad I was legit thinking on a solution to run the Android binary blobs (which at least are available by ripping them off from the Android kernel) on regular Linux, a lot of function call redirects would likely take care of that issue.

ClosedAL

I’m from the generation that used to have sound cards, and I’m very sad about what Creative did to the industry…

If-Else spaghetti with Markov-chains!

Butlerian jihad noises intensifies

My first encounters with it were very rough to say the least. Developers getting used to the jankiness of the graphical user interface (if they had one), was commonplace, and often I was pulling my hair when I was forced to use older versions of Blender and similar productivity software, and any suggestions for UI improvements were met with massive resistance from the developers, due to wanting to avoid “spoonfeeding”, and “not introducing users to write their own shell scripts, thus making them lazy and never discovering its feature of automating complex tasks”.

However, this changed when I started to get into drawing and downloaded Krita. It showed me that open source software doesn’t have to be an absolute nighmare to use, and not hiding handy but less-commonly used features behind a barely documented CLI. Even Blender became more usable in my experience than many more expensive 3D rendering software.

I already have a Raspberry Pi and a Linux VM for development reasons, but I also need Windows for that very same reason. Sometimes Windows APIs are much better than what we have on Linux (ALSA is a janky and laggy mess), and some dev tools are nicer there too (at least with VSCode, one can have some GUI for gdb).

I may replace Windows as my daily driver with Linux.

Desperation is high!

I personally refer the term Butlerian Jihadist, especially when it comes to being against AI generated content.

Or any country for that matter. Hungary isnot much better, save for the lack of people falling out of windows (they only fall out of jobs so far).
