Oblivion Remastered looks aweful, particularly the NPCs, most of which look like skincrawlers

Looks like it’s got a lot of stars, so it’s probably solid

You’d be surprised. I’ve run into some really dogshit books that somehow get >4.5 on Goodreads.

Programmers already spend about as-much of their time, if not more, reading other’s code as they do writing their own.

And how is this an argument in favor of AI code? If 5-10 percent of you job used to be writing code and now you dropped it by half, that’s not very effective of optimization. Especially if the code you now have to review takes more time to review due to it being generated by AI.

and its clear you have negligible programming experience, or creative experience for that matter, to be coming after the concept of sharing code like-so.

As someone with several years of experience as a programmer: fuck off with this elitist nonsense

Did you lick him?

I find it fascinating to think that you could ruin a competitor now simply by hiring a ransomware as a service outfit.

If only someone would do this to the AI companies

As an American, I’ll admit this one is a good dig

mandating in-office for everyone.

I’m not suggesting it should be mandatory for everyone. Just pointing that the office is preferable for some

I live 15 minutes from work. If I got out of bed early enough I could easily bike there (and have done so).

Really the only thing I miss from work from home is the ability to take a short break once per hour to do some bodyweight exercises or kettbell swings during lunch.

But on the flipside, it’s hard for me to stay concentrated while at home. I personally get way more work done in the office.

Just go after every C-suite exec of Fortune-500 companies or has more than a billion dollars. You could find enough info on nearly all of them, and you’ll get >90% of the problem

I now also want Argentina to lose

He originally died at 34, so when he was 6yo as Rudy he was 40 in his head

Not yet, but yes

I don’t care who wins, I just want England to lose

Linux’s “security through obscurity”

I lost braincells reading this. The entire point of open source software is to have it visible and auditable, aka the exact opposite of security through obscurity.

If you want to bash OS’s for relying on STO, go after iOS and Windows. Those OS’s, being closed source, are the ones relying on it

Keep in mind that the rate of errors caught by AI will not be consistent. It will drop off over time.

While I’m no fan of AI, that has nothing to do with it. Adding AI to error detection suites is (mostly) fine so long as you don’t remove more tradional methods like code review, manually set up unit tests, and properly reviewing each failed test instead of just letting the AI slop in a patch.

My point is that any test you add to an existing codebase is going to catch a decent number of issues at first, then over time it will drop off as pre-existing issues get resolved. Then you’ll be left with the lower rate of new issues from updates.

AI isn’t a silver bullet. It (sometimes) is another tool in the toolbox.

Here’s my main questions:

• What brand of graphics card do you have?
• Do you primarily want to play games?
• Do you want to tinker?
• Do you prefer the look/feel of Windows or MacOS?

While most distros support Nvidia cards, manually updating the drivers via CLI is a pain, especially the first time when things randomly break and it takes you 4 hours going through Ubuntu forums to find the answer because you don’t know what to ask. For new Linux users, always direct them to a distro with Nvidia drivers baked in.

If they want to primarily game, I’d recommend pointing them to a distro with gaming optimizations and pre-installed gaming packages. This narrows it down to CachyOS, SteamOS, Bazzite, or Nobara. If they mainly want a PC to do work, I’d recommend Mint or Fedora.

If they don’t want to tinker, I’d recommend Mint, Bazzite, or SteamOS, depending on what their previous choices are. If they are fine with tinkering, or at least have the option open for a particular edge case they have, then I’d recommend the other Distros.

Look and feel would determine which desktop environment to go with. Many of the above distros have multiple options, and thankfully CachyOS supports all common DE’s.

While not every combination of choices is supported, you can get close enough to prioritize one factor over another to get a happy compromise.

PS, I personally wouldn’t recommend Nobara, but I’d still include it in a list with a precaution. It works, it’s my current distro. There’s a couple minor annoyances than can be mostly avoided, such as the default “Nobara” theme having global menus enabled by default. If someone was really interested in Nobara I’d try to nudge them towards CachyOS with KDE, but it’s best not to push people too hard if their heart is set

Eat my ass you say?

“Pokemon baiter”? Wtf kind of clickbait headline is this?

Edit: Here’s an Archive link for those who don’t want to reward clickbait: https://web.archive.org/web/20260710162937/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/after-years-of-nintendo-lawsuits-and-many-millions-of-sales-pokemon-baiter-palworld-is-out-in-10-today

The ones who aren’t were already lost causes, meaning they were already fascists.

The series isn’t sarcastic like Starship Troopers or Helldivers. And yes, sarcasm is problematic because it’s supposed to be subtle enough that psome people don’t get the joke.

Instead, this show is really in your face about how Tanya is the villain. You won’t have the same problem

So 720p streaming and a lot of maintenance.

Video frontends like GrayJay and Revanced let you pick streaming resolution and it actually gets followed. Plus they work for multiple services like Youtube, Patreon, Nebula.

If you’re not happy about getting 720p from Netflix in a browser, that’s from Netflix being cunts. You’re better off voting with your wallet and dropping them.

Also, maintenance? It’s minimal. You get an update popup in the video frontend maybe once per week and wait 30 seconds after hitting “yes”. And you can add an extension on Deckyloader to autoupdate all of your software in the background each day without needing to do anything
