The article is clickbaited with an out-of-context quote. He isn't making an excuse, he's saying that it was worth saving Tango for their originality and artistic value, even though he says it might not technically be profitable from an acquisition standpoint

Tbf this title is incredibly clickbaited. In the actual article they say they bought Tango and Hi-Fi rush because they thought the art was worth keeping alive, not because it would make money.

Probably not great for games but it could totally drive a 1440p or even 4k monitor if you're only using it for web/office/media playback. I'm curious to know if other people are using it as a general computer.

I love falling asleep 1-2 hours after getting in bed and then waking up an hour before my alarm 🙃. I can't help much I can relate!

I did this but I fell asleep an hour after I got in bed and woke up an hour before my alarm and have been sitting here for the past hour trying to fall back asleep. Why am I like this 🙃

Not sure if this counts but (Reddit link warning) someone managed to do it in a VM

I have a Steam deck, here's the answers to my knowledge:

1. Yes, you can connect a keyboard and mouse, and even in SteamOS they let you access KDE in a separate "Desktop mode"

2. Not sure about multiple monitors but you can connect at least one. There are docks made for it to do just that (the USB C cable has display port support I think)

3. It runs a 4 core/8 thread AMD laptop chip so assuming you get a mouse/keyboard it should work pretty well.

4. It has a 5W mode in the power settings in SteamOS so I'm assuming around that much at idle.

5. You can put other distros on it, it's completely unlocked. You could even put Windows on it if you wanted. I'm not sure how easy the install process is though since I've just left SteamOS on mine.

You're just being pedantic. Most autocorrects/keyboard autocompletes make use of text predictors to function. Look at the 3 suggestions on your phone keyboard whenever you type. That's also a text predictor (granted it's a much simpler one).

Text predictors (obviously) predict text, and as such don't have any actual understanding on the text they are outputting. An AI that doesn't understand its own outputs isn't going to achieve anything close to a sci-fi depiction of an AI assistant.

It's also not like the devs are confused about why LLMs work. If you had every publicly uploaded sentence since the creation of the Internet as a training reference I would hope the resulting model is a pretty good autocomplete, even to the point of being able to answer some questions.

That's Annapurna Pictures, which still exists, so that is probably still happening. Annapurna Interactive was the branch of Annapurna that did game publishing, and the rest of the branches still have staff AFAIK

Annapurna was a publisher team, not a dev team (that published a lot of indie teams' games). I'm not entirely sure how this affects the devs though since I'm in general software development and not game development.

When Warner Bros shut down Adult Swim's game publishing team a few months ago, they did at least give publishing rights back to the original devs so something similar might end up happening here.

That being said it's also possible that all of the games Annapurna published get put in licensing limbo and the original devs get screwed over by this if the Annapurna parent company doesn't want to give up their publishing rights.

25565 also gets a decent amount of malicious traffic because of Minecraft though. I'd recommend switching the port to something different at the very least. When I hosted a server for the first time on 25565 my router pretty immediately gave me warnings about attempted network traffic coming from Europe/Asia when I (and everyone I gave the IP to) live in the US.

Don't shame them for procrastinating :(

The T2 security chips on the later Intel MacBooks make this a lot harder on more recent ones, and that's completely ignoring everything going on with the ARM ones (Asahi Linux seems pretty cool! I don't have a Mac so I don't know how usable it is though)

The ability to recognize sarcasm doesn't seem to be particularly developed on Lemmy the internet.

FTFY

TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles 🙃

Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I don't think there's a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but I'm not completely sure if I'm remembering that correctly.

The way I was taught was that you usually start off with only an interface and then implementing classes, and then once you have multiple similar implementations it could then make sense to move the common logic into an abstract class that doesn't get exposed outside of the package

I've been using this one recently on my phone after I found it on F-droid, it's been pretty reliable for me.

There's been a lot of drama with that recently, apparently some of the C devs are making it very hard to get code merged in for rust support, to the point where one of the rust devs is stepping back as a maintainer because of frustrations with some of the C devs

Edit: see this Mastodon post from someone from the Asahi Linux project: https://vt.social/@lina/113045455229442533

Poe's law and all, I could easily imagine someone saying that seriously. That type of sarcasm doesn't translate into the Internet as well as saying something completely absurd and unreasonable. Even then people will probably still misinterpret it. Internet sarcasm is hard.

I think that only happens when one of the phones doesn't support MMS (which afaik is pretty much just ancient flip phones unless your carrier doesn't support it for some reason). Otherwise group chats work "fine" but with terrible image/photo quality

Neither does Jerboa 💀

Mass adoption doesn't necessarily mean Linux newbie. NixOS seems to be targeting the DevOps crowd with its stability/immutability -- that is, people who would be comfortable building their system from a config file that doesn't have a UI. They're already basically doing that with other tools.

Alright screw it we're full sending this, Outer Wilds is a roguelike now

That isn't the reason they stopped, they were tired of NVidia's BS. Nvidia has been slowly trying to phase out 3rd party cards for a while. Since the 20 series they've been consistently raising the cost of the GPU that the manufacturer pays compared to the MSRP (i.e. OEMs make basically nothing if they dont upcharge over MSRP), giving OEMs way less time to properly design/test their cooling solutions before launch, and in a few cases only giving them worse binned cards.

Pretty sure they're talking about the devs, not the users

edit: still kind of weird tho

Steve Jobs was bad enough that his daughter wrote a whole book about how bad of a person he was several years after he died...

Roblox is significantly older than Minecraft (2006 vs. 2009/2011 depending on where you start counting) so the optimistic part of me thinks people won't talk about Roblox like that.

Bold of you to assume companies will release their AI detection tools

Not familiar with how piefed handles it specifically but aren't posts/comments self-upvoted by default?

You could probably figure it out pretty easily just by looking at a user's posts, no?

(This is unless piefed makes it so the main actor up votes their own posts, and the anonymous actor upvotes others' posts, but then it would still be possible to do analysis on others' comments to get a pretty accurate guess)

Worth noting that there is such thing as color deficiency where specific colors appear more dull than they would for others. It isn't technically colorblindness but could still make it harder to read these tests.

One of my friends has this with red colors but could see everything else normally, and he described it as red looking way more desaturated than other colors (almost like a brown/gray?).

I normally just use Jerboa but I've been trying Raccoon recently and it's been really good. It's definitely still beta and some formatting doesn't work but each update has made it significantly better so it's definitely worth checking out because the UI is the best of any of the apps I've tried imo

Jerboa is by dessalines, the same dev as Lemmy and the owner of lemmy.ml so it's basically just all of the drama inherited from that.

I think either works. Crazy how I was born on January 1, 1900 and I probably share an exact birthday with like half of the people here.

Fun fact: chromium has about 1.5 million more lines of code than the Linux kernel (about 32mil vs about 30.5mil), not including whitespace/docs/etc.

Ok I get that open source alternatives are better than Google's proprietary stuff but why are y'all downvoting someone for posting a relevant news article and then not leaving any actual comments about it? Even if the app sucks this kind of seems like shooting the messenger when there could've been an actual discussion here.

I blame this partially on a lack of good video support

Honestly at this point threads federation probably won't even be able to get the first 2 E's because it's opt-in on the Threads side. Most Threads users don't know what ActivityPub is and aren't going to go digging through settings to turn it on. Aside from the POTUS Threads account I legitimately haven't found a threads account I'd remotely care about that bothered to turn it on, even among some of the more tech-oriented ones
