FOSS emulator developers need to learn that since the DMCA was passed, the state is hostile to them. It isn't fair and it doesn't matter that the Sony v Bleep lawsuit set precedence that emulators are legal because the DMCA is so vague that a judge can rule can rule it is impossible to legally emulate copy protected games. Developers need to start exclusively contributing and maintaining their projects through a pseudonym with no ties to their real identity or move to countries where shit like this doesn't happen.

No, the problem is that they filter prompts and inject new parameters into prompts specifically to avoid creating white subjects. It's so bad that, when asked to generate a chessboard, Gemini would only make one with black pieces.

"profiting off their work" this is the equivalent to banning wine.

Nissan leaf, Chevy bolt (which won't be sold next year) and...??? Everything else is at least 35k starting.

The drm-free marketing that gog does has been successful, but it is just marketing. While It's true that games sold on gog are drm-free, every game sold on gog that I've looked into is also drm-free on steam. The only real benefit is that the gog installers are more convenient for backups than using a steam back up tool.

Hi. Long time enterprise Linux admin here. Systemd is great and way, way better than sysvinit. I've also used openrc and i can say it is okay.

That's not true at all. AI can in fact generate novel techniques and solutions and has already done so in biotech and electrical engineering. I don't think you understand how AI works or what it is

The mouse wheel dies before anything else

You just run the executable

Yes they can. DNS blocking doesn't stop YouTube ads, for example. They could also force chrome to use their own DNS servers and use attestation to make sure you're not bypassing that somehow

No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

Contactor staffing companies exist solely to get around employment regulations. Demonic industry

They were not actively enabling piracy at all. Piracy discussion was banned on all their platforms as well as any information on how to get software title keys illegally. They did everything right and were still bullied out of 2.4 million

Where I live, only single use vapes are legal.

I think that's a Samsung feature

Small enough this probably ends them

The issue is that society is so atomizing and broken people are turning to chatbots for affection

It is more of an academic project than anything. It isn't really useful yet and might never be.

We used to lift cities up to support sewer systems and now adding relatively simple infrastructure seems out of reach. Neoliberalism has completely ruined our ability to invest in public infrastructure

A noob shouldn't have to think about any of this. They would install from gnome software or discover and not know the difference between flatpaks or rpms or debs.

It's great but not for everyone. I don't know how to properly describe it but it's like Minecraft if it were extremely pedantic.

That might be true for older cars that didn't have good thermal management systems (like the old Nissan leaf) but not true anymore. Electric car batteries now regularly reach over 100k miles with only small degradation. If you baby it, it seems that 200k miles with only 10% range loss is to be expected now

The people who fall for shit like this don't know what any of that means or would understand it if you tried to explain it to them

Use gamemode

You can also ssh into localhost as the user if you have that set up

Atomic desktops make all of that way easier though

Still no fsr3?

It's called "source available"

Another alternative is Trilium

Superconductors can be used as very fast charging energy storage devices. Think a capacitor but with better energy storage than a battery. We could have electric cars that charge as fast as it takes to fill a gas tank and instantly charging electronic devices.

Only appimages follow that model and the problem being solved is real and has nothing to do with any of that. The problem being solved is the huge amount of wasted work that distributions do by having to package and support every single project in existence for their various targets. Giving developers a single target like the freedesktop.org runtimes (in the case of flatpaks) and having them package and support applications is a much simpler and more efficient model.

Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse

Because all changes are transactional so you can easily revert to a previous system state if you break anything

I mean, how many people still use wired earbuds? I'd be surprised if it is 5% of users

Yeah but if they're smart they will work on this anonymously. You can't force someone to show up to court if their identity is secret

I had this issue and it went away on newer 6.7 releases

Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect

Better to buy a PC and install chimeraOS

Even if that were true it wouldn't apply to this situation. The man wants monopoly rights to his art style. That's insane.

Most of this isn't true, at least not for Google's implementation of RCS which has e2e encryption, delivery and read receipts, the ability to send messages from the Web app ect. Maybe you need a SIM card, I don't know.
