now-retired German chancellor Angela Merkel in a red blazer and asked the bot to show us what she would look like in an** almost transparent mesh top**. It generated an image of Merkel wearing the sheer shirt over a black bra that revealed an AI-generated chest.

First, why do such a request on Angela Merkel at all? Also isn't the output what they requested in the first place?

Oh wait, if you are not familiar with Vim or Neovim, then this won't be for you probably. It works completely different compared to a regular text editor and is somewhat complicated and for terminal. There are benefits to it why that is, but just so you know its not a "normal" editor. This is just a warning. :D

In example the keys h, j, k, l are used to move the cursor in the editor and every key is a special command basically. You have to switch into editing mode to type in text.

Fantastic list. I just want add one to this sublist. I use these often:

9. Find files tips

    
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf '%f\n'

  

-printf '%f\n': This is a function to print in a formatted manner, typically used in C or other languages. %f means here print the filename only, without directory or slashes. And add a newline off course, but you could also print it by space enclosed between quotes: "%f" I prefer this over executing separate echo process.

-type f: This will limit the output depending on the filetype you define. Here f means files only. This can have multiple types too, in example directories or executables.

-maxdepth 1: Do not search subdirectories, only look in current directory like ls does. You could specify more depth too. And there is even -mindepth 2 in example, if you want to skip some top level directories and only search somewhere deep. This makes sense if you have organized structure of directories in example.

I use Neovim, BTW.

The thing is, they seem to not block Linux entirely, as it runs (and is officially supported) on Steam Deck. From the outside it looks like the anticheat tool works only on certified devices or configurations when they use Linux. Maybe this is the first game that only works with a specific Kernel. This would make sense, as this is a Kernel level anticheat that would only work with known or whitelisted Kernels in example.

I'm just speculating here, so don't want to spread false information in case this is wrong speculation. But the official support for Steam Deck is correct.

I wouldn't experiment with renaming or deleting such files to trick an anticheat tool. There could be a potential to flag and ban a player account. It's too risky to me.

We assume its probably the anticheat, because its a Kernel level anticheat. Maybe it only works with an unaltered image of the Steam Deck OS and Kernel. This is highly speculative and it might be just a bug on the game or Proton side or something. This is still beta and the first day, so they collect information and see what the users have to say. Hopefully they will address this issue. At the very least being open and explain the situation, so we know for sure.

SteamDeck=1 %command% was the first thing I tried. Marvel Rivals has not a similar problem, because Marvel Rivals supports general Linux and the Steam Deck. The reason why the SteamDeck variable is needed is, because with a recent updated of the game the launcher does not work properly in Proton. And in Steam Deck mode the launcher is not used.

But with Splitgate 2 it seems like they deliberately does only support the Steam Deck itself. So setting a variable to trick them is not enough. At first glance it looks like a similar problem, but only the outcome is the same. The problem is different.

It just says only Steam Deck and Legion Go S are officially supported. But you can install it on other devices too (people did already).

If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

The update is that you can officially download and install SteamOS on other devices.

Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device?
 We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.

We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.

You mean an L-take? I'm not sure why. SteamOS is a gaming oriented os, with specific user interface and update cycles and features towards that. I think its the right call by Valve to put this note that this is not a general purpose desktop os meant to replace it. I know about the desktop mode (have Steam Deck myself).

The point is, the goal and usage is not meant and to be considered a full replacement for a desktop. People can decide themselves to do it anyway, its just not the goal. So totally not an L take here. Unless I misunderstood your point.

Thanks, I see. I'll research and learn more about the differences. Thought this was an writing error and didn't research yet.

Netscape asked Brendan Eich to develop a scripting language that looks like Java, but be object oriented rather than class based.

I don't understand this part. Isn't object oriented also class based?? I mean that's the entire reason why classes exist, to create objects. Isn't it? How is this separated here?

The generation that grows up with Ai won't know what real is. For them, the Ai look is the one they are comfortable with, and the real videos are the odd looking ones. Man I wanted to make a joke, but this is scary as hell. Hope I'm wrong with the future...

Why not use simple bookmarks?

Valve Time. Finally.

Here is how the film could look like:

Getting Naked in the Middle by Deerstalker Pictures, YouTube - 2:54min

They do more than just autocomplete, even in autocomplete mode. These Ai tools suggest entire code blocks and logic and fill in multiple lines, compared to a standard autocomplete. And to use it as a standard autocomplete tool, no Ai is needed. Using it like that wouldn't be bad anyway, so I have nothing against it.

The problems arise when the Ai takes away the thinking and brain functionality of the actual programmer. Plus you as a user get used to it and basically "addicted". Independent thinking and programming without Ai will become harder and harder, if you use it for everything.

Mostly closed source, because open source rarely accepts them as they are often just slop. Just assuming stuff here, I have no data.

what’s up with ending FakeSpot? They just bought that.

Assuming the tool was not accepted and used well enough by the user base. Also Mozilla got all user data and the technology. Maybe they plan on a new project that implements part of it in the future? Mozilla is currently experimenting a lot. Shutting down lot of services should be expected.
