1080'ties really were legendary cards. Back then I only had a 1060ti as my prior card broke unexpectedly and that was all the money I could spare.

This reminds me of an old thread on a random forum. Just when Sims 2 was released they were speculating what Sims 3 would look like.

Someone suggested that the next game will surely be in the source engine!

While your point is more realistic than that I still don't think valve could pull this off in reasonable time. Translation for games is extremely hard to do right. I think if at all there will be another generation of decks before we see something like this.

Yes, many. It depends on what you are looking for (image generation, text generation, text to speech, speech to text, etc) and what hardware you have.

Yes!

Total mutual destruction is the only way™

That... That is a price I am willing to accept.

Spoilers are not standardized on Lemmy every client can choose to ignore it and there are different syntaxes in use. On eternity it's not a spoiler btw

I think that word is used wrongly here. Enshittification is a specific process and not just a product getting worse.

Yes many. Probably more than I will ever watch :P

If I did not recommend them yet I also can't stop doing that.

I did too much math today....

I was curious not knowing that evince is getting retired and looked into this It seems there was a problem even for established contributors which is why it was eventually forked. This Blogpost goes into detail.

It seems the main maintainer had very little time for the project. I don't know if that was the case 4 years ago but if it was it would explain some things.

No thanks. I don't want nor need to be in the club. Nor will I ever go out of my way to show people that I'm "worth having around" in my free time. I don't think that's healthy.

If they don't see my worth or I am actually worthless to have around I'll search for someplace else. Like I said already: I have never had that problem in any other project.

Also I don't feel entitled to have my patches merged. I can maintain them myself if necessary.

Yes which is why I never said the whole of gnome is like that but what my experience was and why I suggested investigating if the claim has merit.

Admittedly I was completely ignorant of this before but if they switched (back?) to flac then it seems they at least listen to criticism, no?

Or what did they handle poorly? I was thinking of getting tidal but at the moment I am still content with my offline library.

Great attitude! I was the issue all along. Who would've thought.

Strange that I didn't have that problem almost anywhere else where I contributed.

Edit: you do see how your comment matches my experience that it feels more like a closed club of elites right?

Yea I think there is a misunderstanding. My first question was not rhetorical. I was just expressing that my personal experience matches the one described above.

With that both statements could have some truth: 5/6 MRs could be merged and it could still be that they dislike external contributions.

I will not file a complaint or anything like that. It was not that I was insulted nor assaulted just they gave me the vibe that external contribution was not very welcome. While frustrating that is ok, even if it could've been better communicated. Also it was like 4 years ago.

Ohh she doesn't work there anymore?

MRs from who? Because in my experience it often feels like a closed club in gnome land.

I've had experience trying to contribute to evince the gnome PDF viewer. It was so frustrating and I was immediately and repeatedly confronted with negativity and distrust that I quit. That was the only time I did that after making a serious effort.

If you scare away anyone else it's no wonder that it seems like there is no problem.

Hold your horses. An RC is not a release. I don't trust it.

MQA?

Amazon prime video has iirc

Language is flexible. Deal with it.
