One thing I noticed about cross platform sim games is that, frankly, they run horrible on native Linux. I measure like a 40% TPS drop, and even worse frame time spikes, in Rimworld and Stellaris.
The former is Unity, the later an in-house engine (Clausewitz). And they run fine in Proton.
Point being that you still have to be careful with popular engines, as the actual game dev still has to optimize it for Linux. If they can’t… honestly, targeting Proton is a fine alternative.
Not totally, I think? There are so many businesses that will cling to Windows forever, and even an “official” Wine distro would mess them up. Micrtosoft will milk it.
OEMs selling new consumer PCs, though? Their hands aren’t so tied, especially if they get fed up with the enshittification they don’t profit from.
Exactly.
I was also thinking of this lawsuit, which legally paves the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America%2C_Inc.
Windows is all but an API now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Windows, as an OS used for gaming, “dies” from enshittification, OEMs start shipping thier own crappy linux distros built around Wine, and every game dev targets Proton explicitly.
The irony would be delicious. It’s not unprecedented, either.
Just skip it and go straight to the source, lol.
But the caretaker is a slop bot, right?
What’s Facebook?
And Facebook still funds lots of its development afaik
React and PyTorch are pretty neat. Llama is too. So are some smaller software efforts.
Not that I disagree with the meme at all, but there is a tiny branch at Facebook that is symbiotic.
I feel like this is a microcosm of the internet.
There’s like zero trust in letting lifelong experts tell you what’s going on, and how to respond. And nodding your head. I guess people have always had their own takes, questionable sources and such for millenia, but it feels like we’ve passed a threshold.
Tumblr, right? This is so much nicer than Twitter.
The Fallout TV series is a rather explicit jab at Big Oil.
People were pretty upset about it too. Also, it was good.
Some are, or at least don’t store API requests.
But yeah.
ChatGPT is awful.
Use literally anything else. Qwen, Deepseek, Minimax, Llama, Cohere or Mistral APIs, even Gemini, they all have options call Musk a Nazi without berating you.
EDIT: I just asked Arcee 32B on my desktop, had no problem with it.
Even giving them the benefit of the doubt, can’t we assume OpenAI is a massive target of foreign espionage? Haven’t they already had breaches… and that’s just what we know about.
I could see on prem LLMs being a thing for coding assistance, but wtf. This is not going through remote servers, right?
Than Reddit? Yeah.
I still visit some niche subs with old.reddit.com, but I don’t see how users even stand the new site.
Really? Where? Like, can you give a specific example?
As if Reddit cares about long term stability at all? The line must go up at all costs.
Oh, and fuck Spez.
We are screwed if the Internet Archive goes down, right?
Seems like a huge point of failure for one entity.
Windows is definitely, objectively dying.
The question is what fraction is replaced with Android/iOS and what with desktop Linux.
