Ye, my dirty little secret is that I'm still running kubuntu on my main laptop (which I do a lot of gaming on as well fwiw.) It's what it shipped with, and it works just fine. I can't say I would have actively chosen it, but It's also not bad enough to make me want to go through the hassle of installing something else

Gonna repeat something I said a little while ago.

If you're planning to try Linux but have no experience with it, the best piece of advice I was given is this. Learn how the filesystem is structured. It will make everything else you try to do easier.

You're also going to get a ton of conflicting advice on which distro to use. Pop OS or Mint are my suggestions. !linux_gaming@lemmy.world is a good resource to know about too

Has there been an r/place since 2023's epic FUCK SPEZ?

sigh all I'm hearing is prices for every fucking thing are going to skyrocket... globally...

re: The warning/grammer checking system.

What you're describing is called a linter, and they've existed for ages.

The only way I can really think of to improve them would be to give them a full understanding of your codebase as a whole, which would require a deeper understanding than current gen AI is capable of. There might be some marginal improvements possible with current gen, but it's not going to be groundbreaking.

What I have found AI very useful for is basic repetitive stuff that isn't easily automated in other ways or that I simply can't be bothered to write again. eg: "Given this data model, generate a validated CRUD form" or "write a bash script that renames all the files in a folder to follow this pattern"

You still need to check what it produces though because it will happily hallucinate parameters that don't exist, or entire validation libraries that don't exist, but it's usually close enough to be used as a starting point.

Cool! What's VR on Linux like generally? I'd like to get a headset again, but not if it means going back to Windows

I really feel for federal workers right now.

Some of us even voted for Trump this past election.

I really feel for most federal workers right now.

I think others have said it better than I could, but yes, I include the blatant cash grab that the sims has become.

In case you weren't aware, Paralives is a thing and looks really promising

Everything EA touches dies. Fuck EA

Oh, the movie! I was confused as hell for a second there. I thought there was a remaster or something that I'd missed...

...dear universe: I would buy the shit out of a well made Sonic 3 remaster

Ye, I guess that's plausible, but what I don't find plausible is the the author didn't pick up on it! Or any of the editors!

You're right though, maybe it wouldn't really fit that sub

Do we have an equivalent of r/thattotallyhappened or whatever that sub was called?

What? I respectfully disagree. The reason I struggled to stay on Pixelfed, and recently Loops too, is because as a new user all I was seeing was classical art, and landscapes (and the odd weirdo) but nothing actually entertaining. Loops at least has people copying stuff from TikTok. I'm not condoning that behaviour, I'm just saying as a casual new user, that was pretty much the most compelling content.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but IMHO the content creators are the core of any social media. Pixelfed and Loops will both live or die by the creators they attract

ETA: I love weirdos by the way, that wasn't meant as a negative. If anything, more please!

We'll figure that out later. In the mean time, lets just keep them concentrated in one place, like a resort... or camp

LLMs not being able to tell us what bread tastes like has nothing to do with intelligence. it's a qualia. I think you meant it cannot KNOW what bread tastes like... although I still don't understand why you'd think that's a requirement for intelligence

I apologize for my last comment, I was drunk when I wrote it. I'd rather not put that kind of negativity into the world.

I do still disagree with you though.

On paper or not, the system supports it, which means that they are very likely NOT supporting two lighting systems, which means that, yes, my point still stands. The series S is only 5 years old. The minimum system requirements are for 7 year old hardware.

EVERYTHING else is a matter of optimization, which no one here can comment on until the game is released. You just cannot know the game will perform badly until it is released.

As evidence of this, I will again point to the Indiana Jones game which is a) Ray Traced, b) Runs on the series S, and c) runs at 60fps (although, admittedly it's apparently blurry)

This is my last reply because I just can't with you anymore.

Those are some HELLA cherry picked examples. Both Dragon's Dogma examples have the games running at MAX SETTINGS!

Even the Cyberpunk example, that was RAY TRACING on Medium.

I can't read german, so no idea what is actually being said in the Indiana Jones article, but the closest equivalent I could find is this video which, frankly, tells me you're completely full of shit.
