An just 30-something Software Dev that enjoys gaming, woodworking, electronics and plenty of other hobbies. Too many hobbies.
I understand it’s not the best source but it’s not like I was pulling it out my arse. It seems like the situation is very nuanced over there but no matter what, the US shouldn’t be involved in whatever mess is happening regardless.
Also I would say he’s no longer a comedian first and has primarily been a travel documentarian for about 50 years now, one who pioneered the format in fact. He also puts a big focus on the culture and the people of the places he visits.
It wasn’t from the US I heard this from, it was from locals interviewed by Michael Palin. Didn’t really take him for a US stooge

I don’t think I could ever have an AI actively modify my code. I use one semi regularly but just for the first steps of research and brainstorming ideas. It often never lands exactly on what I need but the process helps me think a bit better and to avoid the shortcomings that the AI often produces in responses.
I like to download the memes of production
It’s for a torrent, so in a torrent client
I agree, it’s just nice that they chose a platform that others can use what they’ve implemented whilst they’re still around and if they somehow go tits up on Sunday.
Their decision to do it open source is the nice guy side but you are right they have ulterior motives that just make perfect business sense rather than it just them being “nice”.
That’s why i said a virtual monopoly not an actual one. Their prevalence in the industry among pc gamers makes them seem like a monopoly even though there are choices. The rest of my comment also explains why people choose them over other options so I don’t know what your trying to get at…
Fostering developers to go ham on windows to Linux comparability and now the same for X86/64 to ARM is much more than nothing. Valve have actually been the ones doing the most to pave the way for theirs and anyone who follows’ future.
I’m not too jazzed about their virtual monopoly but that’s sadly because they’ve just been working for consumers in more ways than the others. They’re not the best at everything like GOG trumps then when it comes to actual ownership but it’s sum of all of their parts that puts them head and shoulders above the rest.
They’ve done so much that they’ve paved the way for non gamers to be able to switch over to Linux much easier (I wouldn’t say it’s all on them but they’ve helped foster cross compatible development on Linux in general). I don’t think you could say the others have done as much to affect the space outside of gaming as valve either. Except Microsoft, but their decisions have been much more controversial.
I hate to see myself glazing valve as much as I have here but it is what it is. I’ll criticise them when the context allows and praise them like this in other times.
Wouldnt 2x4 actually equate to 2 * 4 * x not 24 * x? So it would be 8x?
Steam deck has popped up on mine even though i don’t have a steam deck because Bazzite in Gaming mode is detected as steam deck.
I personally prefer to put my money where my mouth is on the things I’d want to see more of (even if my contribution is technically negligible nowadays). So I get the 4k blurays of my favourites. And since I like going to the cinema (I just pay monthly to see as many films as I want), I’ll have already seen the films to know what are and aren’t my favourites (most of the time) so I don’t need to pirate movies.
I don’t care for streaming that much anymore, especially for movies. I rarely watch movies at home, and when I do it’s my favourites on 4k bluray with Dolby atmos. Every other time it’s going to the cinema usually once a week if I can. Netflix have always been shit when it comes to the cinema.
I think it’s at 5 now is it not? Or was that just steam specific stats? (Which are obviously skewed in their favour because of SteamOS)
Yeah that’s mostly what i use it for. A way to search for things that i can’t describe well enough for a traditional search engine so I can find out at a glance what it’s name is and if it’s valid for my situation. If it is then I go look up documentation. Any time I’ve stayed in the LLM past that I eventually go down a rabbit hole of wrong ideas that aren’t always obvious until you get a bit too deep and you’ve wasted an hour with an incorrect solution.
But he should be given the Nobel peace prize… /s

It seems to fail with some files. I think 4k and/or .mkv ones. I’ve had to use Kodi during those times instead. I’ve not going a great simple media player to use on Android tv yet. They all have their caveats. Unless there’s a better one I’ve not found yet.
Shame it’s shit on Android tv
The cult might fracture a bit though which is something we could hope for.
