I started with mIRC script editor, which was only a tiny step above notepad.

What, you dont program in binary? What a noob.

Command prompt is slowly becoming legacy. Microsoft wants powershell to be its successor thus Terminal was born.

Nothing stops you from continuing support. It just doesnt make sense to pollute mainstream kernel for a cpu last produced 20 years ago.

Stating facts is not defending. The fact is, if valve didn’t invest into the linux ecosystem, gamers would be force to suck MS’s dick. Which is far arguable amoung the worst corporation in world. I dont think there has been any cases where valve resorted to anti-competition practices.

Yes, their fees are high. But thats the cost to be publish on their store. They know you aint going anywhere else because they dominate the market. And they didnt get there by manhandling the competition, just the first to provide a product people want, and did it so long that they became ubiquitous, and no other storefront can compete. Gog has the most promise, but they havent even bother with a linux client…

So how about you get off your ass and make a storefront to compete with them?

They absolutely do care about linux… sure, they are profit motivated. But they saw microsoft building their own store, and they saw a future where MS builds a gated garden, and linux was a way for them to preserve their existence.

Theres a reason steam is king… noone else bother putting games on linux, so valve brought linux to the games.

And what agenda is that? To mine the planet in secret so not to upset the environmentalists?

When people get upset about pluto, I’ll just tell them if pluto is planet, so is Ceres. Which then results in mindless staring because they never even heard about Ceres…

Unless they’re american, then it’ll be built in freedom units.

*50’s She died in 1962, unfortunately.

You dont need a patent to protect a trademark.

Design patents only last 15 years max. Unless they intend to use it, its just purely a publicity stunt.

I did. Thus my assessment.

His belief that race and ethnicity are transient and superficial, and not essential aspects of the individual,[313] was partly rooted in his conviction that each individual reincarnates in a variety of different peoples and races over successive lives, and that each of us thus bears within him or herself the heritage of many races and peoples.

He presented explicitly hierarchical views of the spiritual evolution of different races,[315] including—at times, and inconsistently—portraying the white race, European culture or Germanic culture as representing the high point of human evolution as of the early 20th century, although he did describe them as destined to be superseded by future cultures.

Sounds like he held racist ideals, that were very influenced by scientific racism. But also contradicting himself as his other ideals of human individuality clashed with his own racism, so at times he ‘seemed opposed’ to racism.

I mean… my 6700xt dont have offical rocm support, but the rocm driver works perfectly fine for it. The difference is amd hasnt but the effort in testing rocm on their consumer cards, thus cant make claims support for it.

I love CachyOS, it’s a great and solid distro and by far the best Arch fork out there. I’ve never had issues with it

As long you keep it updated. I left my machine powered off for 8 months and came back to being impossible to update it because the repo was missing library updates from months prior… I could never figure it out, and just nuked the install with bazzitte.

Thats an entirely seperate issue. If we invested in clean enegry 40 years ago, then there would be far less impact.

Do you really think gen ai is going to replace artists? Its just another tool to use. If anything it lowers the level of entry. You dont need to be a master to produce quailty art. You dont need burn the midnight oil to produce new art with changes the director requested…

Its always the same argument when new technology arrives. Power looms replaced weavers. Did those jobs disappeared? No, it went on to created a booming textile industry. But it didnt stop the hand weavers trying to burn down the textile factories in defiance.

You will never win fighting against technology. You will only harm yourself by not embracing progression. If you want something to fight, fight against the ones that own the automations.

I dont do it because i care about plagiarism… i do it for having a record of what i had to do to workaround an obscure problem… but really one shouldnt copy the random code off the internet directly anyway, since thats an licensing nightmare if you ever publish your code base. Better off using the ‘copied code’ as a basis for your own.
