This article isn't saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it's also absolutely taking too much money to run
And if these AI companies aren't capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren't able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be
Yeah there's a decent ton of them out there, each player can find the one that resonates with them!
Something I think worth doing is searching "in 40 rhythm games" on YouTube to get a quick compilation of a bunch of unique rhythm games , and importantly it gives a little preview of their gameplay, usually at a high level
Rhythm Games in general, but specifically osu!mania taught me that I can, like, actually get good at completely new stuff no matter how much I suck at it to begin with
It also taught me that I really like Hardcore EDM, before hand I wouldn't really listen to music cuz I wasn't sure exactly what kind of music I was drawn to
Absolutely agree, I use to get excited for new updates to anything, cuz like "yay new things" or "old things but less buggy"
But recently I've been absolutely sulking over the modern software updating paradigm of shipping perfectly fine updates with completely useless UI changes that absolutely nobody wanted so tech companies can justify having an in-house UI team
Like my phone, on Android 11 I set the custom color to a really nice red color, i matched it to my wallpaper and everything, I loved it
And then Android 12 hits, and that lovely red gets replaced with some bologna enthusiast's spamcore aesthetic
I'm sorry, Material "You"?. Nah this is Material Somebody Else fr
And I can't do anything to change the colors of my own phone
I hate being a slave to UI teams, let me change the colors atleast, damnit
More content than you could possibly read, short reads typically, you learn stuff, and you can make games out of it
A game I like to play is to come up with 2 completely unrelated things, start on thing 1, and see if you can get to thing 2 on Wikipedia in 6 tabs or less, using Wikipedia links only
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at, proprietary software on Linux is just a step forward towards a fully FOSS future
For the most part, there aren't many professional fields that have a good FOSS option, so in the meantime their only option is to keep using the industry standard until a good alternative matures like Blender has
At the very least, people would have the freedom to not use microsoft or apple while still working professionally in their respective industry, so that's more free overall
Why not both? I don't see how proprietary software on Linux will slow down FOSS at all, and it'll only bring more users to Linux who otherwise have to use windows for their software, so overall more FOSS users in the community
And programs like Blender have already matured to a professional level, so I'm pretty optimistic that other FOSS apps will eventually follow, too

What good is a ginie if you can't get the lamp?
