Ay Yew Arr

…but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it “eye-urr”


They do a cashgrab bs reboot of a beloved franchise… release a bland, weird AI looking movie… then get caught stealing artwork inside the game itself. “we don’t understand why you don’t trust us!!” fuuuuuckoff.


fedora’s declaration that they’re officially okay with including “ai” generated code in the project has me shopping around for a new distro. CachyOS seems like it’s really soliid choice these days.


Counterpoint… there is no real enforcement beyond the honor system… so it changes very little other than expressly condoning the activity.


Well that’s what “condone” means fwiw.
I see it the same as how steam does the same thing with requiring disclosure of ai use on store pages now. And I treat it the same way if I see it I make a consumer choice to not support the game.
What disturbed me was reading the minutes of the meeting that people seemed genuinely excited to include gen ai code. To me that speaks to an ethos that is highly divergent from what I would like to see and what should be happening. It doesn’t feel like it’s “welp I guess we gotta let people do it” and more “oh boy we can finally use it”. And with all the companies that make llm how long before some back door evil nonsense sneaks in. To say I’m dubious would be an understatement. 🤷


Well sure… the point of a warning label on the side of a product is to allow you to make informed choices if you want to use that product. A warning label saying “we’re condoning the use of unethical practices” allows me to decide I would rather seek a different product.


Doesn’t mean I have to support the ones that actively encourage it.
I guess it’s time for some of the projects to start putting little stickers that say “hand crafted code” on them explicitly.


Unfortunate. Announcing this when everyone is migrating from windows… a lot of which is because of the AI bullshit in it… seems like throwing the stick in the spokes move.
I guess it’s time to go shopping for a new distro :(


Alpine Linux has entered the chat Mr. Stallman…


If “signs of life” isn’t them saying “wow we fucked up by stealing art and changing the type of game the fans wanted. We’re sorry. We’ll make a high quality single player experience instead” then I’m definitely uninterested in their nonsense.

Looks like it’s a couple bucks cheaper elsewhere.


It sounds like it isn’t going to have cross platform play even on PC between launchers… so if your friends had it on steam you’d be sol.
First was technically knoppix because it had a live boot cd function. That didn’t go well. There was some kind of bug where it murdered the bios on my pentium2 and I was unable to recover the system, bricking the computer.
First time I was able to fully install and use was ubuntu warthog… So that’s what… 4.10? I think so.


Using gen ai for any part is a non-starter. Nope. ☠️
I put KDE Fedora on a MacBook Air circa 2013 iirc. It’s old heh. It runs well but it hates the new kernel. So after a lot of poking around to find a solution to the full hardware kernel panic lockups I found it was a problem with the wifi, as usual. You might get luckier than me since it’s only a couple chipsets they use that choke.
That said even with that issue I just locked the kernel at 5.15 and it runs just fine. I started with 38 and I’ve upgraded every release until current without any issue.


FYI, for the same price you could grab it in a bundle right now and get several other games with it.


steamdb only tracks steam directly though, correct? Great site, just doesn’t track all prices if that’s what you’re going for.
re: unixstickers. they got bought by stickermule part and parcel afaik. Their site now redirects to sm. A lot of people won’t be happy supporting that business. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rebekahbastian/2024/07/19/how-a-ceos-political-stance-impacts-workplace-inclusion-and-customer-trust/
