  • It seems like common cynicism. Mozilla adds this feature, as not to yield major features to other browsers. Mozilla's lets you natively have lots of different AI solutions to pick from.

    Not every feature is for everyone. Not every feature is done being improved on at release.

    And in spite of popular opinions, organizations don't do just one thing and then do just the next thing and the thing after that. Organizations can and do focus on and prioritize many things at the same time.

    And for people who are naysaying AI at every mention, it has a lot of great and fascinating uses, and if you think otherwise, you really should try them more. I've used it plenty for work and life. It's not going away, might as well do some nice things with it.

  • Plenty of distros are set and forget and there's no debugging necessary. Bazzite for example. No coding, no CLI.

    Steam Deck, with Steam OS is a great example. Bazzite OS, Fedora, etc.

    Linux today is not the same as it was years ago. If you think otherwise, a video on YouTube demoing something like Bazzite would be a great demo. Bazzite and other atomic distros like Aurora are fort Knox.

    I have a friend who still games on windows 11 and he has headaches playing things too, like freezes, CTDs, audio issues, having to reboot, etc. A lot of that comes with PC gaming and isn't just a Linux thing.

    You can stick to Windows but do it on the basis of what-is, not what-was. Valve and other companies in the Linux community have invested a lot of money and resources getting things to great shape, and they're continuing to do so

  • Yeah they could have a full bar with it being two-tierred

  • Me too. Fortunately, Linux can play plenty of games. I've put hundreds of hours into each of Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Path of Exile and countless other games

    It can't play every single thing, but I'm cool with that.

  • Irregardless and inflammable add two unnecessary letters and one unnecessary syllable. Society cannot afford this gargantuan waste!!

  • She should be okay if she's wearing one of those hair things underneath. I forget what they're called. It bunches up your hair like a shower cap and keeps your hair from getting in the armor

    Edit: the girl here is not wearing one it seems though

  • Is it super bright there or is that a high exposure pic?

  • Is that not what KDE Discover and Gnome Software Center do? Or is this a new one for Gnome?

  • When you have millions of players, .03% is 300 people per million. Consider the fact that the .03% of people in this figure are those who report this bug to Riot.

    Perhaps not included in the .03% are people who lost their install and:

    • are not tech savvy enough to even file a report or recover their computer
    • gave up or quit trying
    • haven't yet recovered their PC to file a report the usual way
    • stuck to reporting issues and seeking help elsewhere, such as on Reddit, perhaps even PC subreddits
    • quit when they realized how insane the Vanguard saga is

    Riot is has a colorful history and a future of misuing and abusing statistics across the board. It's practically their modus operandi.

  • They put some under-the-hood improvements in 10 that they didn't put in 7, such as a new display driver model and Directx 12.

    But that does not make a difference to most people. Industry desupporting of Windows 7 is the biggest con to it.

    Eventually, 10 will share 7's fate. So you'll have both 10's regressions and 11's and so forth to live with as long as you're on Windows. You can't stop Microsoft from desupporting and killing their software in the long run.

    Microsoft has a multi-decade history of enshitification when they do not perceive any major threats. Internet Explorer, DirectX, Windows Server, etc. all rotted. Some of these are still active and supported, yes, but they all peaked years ago and are aging poorly. Microsoft doesn't really do the labor of love thing much when customers are bagged.

    Linux may be able to dethrone them to an extent if it can reach an ease of access/UX that most people are comfy with. And it has made huge strides over the years. It can also run most Windows software very well.

    Mac is still priced very high and still feature-limited and a 2nd/3rd-class citizen when it comes to platform targeting. Offering lower priced conputers would make them a pretty big threat I think.

    I think ChromeOS is a decent threat to Windows but it loses tons of features vs all the other options. At least it is really cheap and easy to use.

  • I've had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn't know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

    Not saying it's a bad thing, I just decided I'd stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

    I'm also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.

  • Yeah, but what if I want:

    • pre-2010 graphics
    • a free rootkit
    • a single ugly stagnant map with no skins
    • a single and unchangeable and uninspired drone of an announcer
    • a game whose bug-ridden, laggy client leaks memory and processes
    • a game whose client prevents you from spectating pro games, past and present
    • a pro scene rampant with match fixing and ads injected into the horrendous casting

    If not League of Legends, where else am I gonna get all of that from?

  • Using swap isn't always a sign you need more RAM. Typically, if you use a computer for a while or have a lot of IO operations going on, Linux will decide to swap some things to make more room for cache.

    Sometimes Linux just finds that you have a bunch of inactive app memory and it can swap that out to cache way more stuff. That's just good memory management, but it's not worth buying more RAM over

  • What is a cache file?

  • I'm not saying it's wrong if Fabián Basabe (R), (allegedly better known as the 'funnel-cake', and 'sea-men fairy' to his alleged, countless, male romantic partners) likes to save dinner till after sex. That's between him and the many men in his life to decide.

    And who are we to judge if he prefers body-building men who can carry him to bed and who can appreciate his wispy pillow-talk.

    I'm happy he gets to have these things in his life

  • TVs have a history of listening and collecting a lot more data than a smart device.

    With a TV device like an android or Linux box, you can prevent that as well as ad-injection because you can install whatever you want on the device and it's not as locked down as a TV. You can even disable or physically remove recording devices if you'd like, and many smart boxes do not even come with them.

    Also, a pihole does not guarantee you filtered out everything or prevented the TV from interfering with your experience.

    A TV can also change its policy on the fly and suddenly start injecting ads. Many TVs do this to add additional income after your purchase.

  • Not condoning prison vigilante/revenge behavior, but if this guy's fellow inmates find out what he did, and that is very easy to do, he may be in for a horrible time in prison. Not sure if he will be put into a 'special-cases' prison for his own safety or whether he'll just go straight to a general public prison.

    He has really bad paperwork and fellow prisoners always find out what your paperwork is as soon as you land in your new prison. Torture of animals is among the worst things one can do.

    Again, I'm not condoning any of this. It's just the reality this guy faces in American prisons

  • What do you mean Albuquerque has fewer people than NYC? One time I was at this cafe in Albuquerque and it was packed!
