Depending on the holes you count that’s anywhere between two and seven wolves needed, but my math could be off

Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

Well, you haven’t seen what’s under the skirt

Oh, you have more than 4GB of RAM? Looks like the Linux Starter Edition subscription won’t be enough for you. You’ll need to upgrade to Linux Pro Home Studio with Copilot Standard for $35 a month

As a software engineer who’s recently been using the latest advanced models in my workflow, I think that’s where it is most useful. It’s generally great for more tedious and mundane tasks like writing documentation, or building small functions with explicit inputs and outputs. And while that’s not crazy impressive, that previously was taking up a much larger part of my time, leaving me more time to focus on bigger picture stuff.

That being said, it’s definitely wildly overvalued, and being shoved into everything, often where it makes no sense and is just a glorified chatbot.

Maybe anecdotal evidence from any single person isn’t enough to go on either way, but the topic at hand that video games need access to secure encryption hardware to run probably isn’t super cool should be the discussion

Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

yeah a fresh windows 11 install has like 20 different control panels, all built at different times by different teams using different UI toolkits. It’s basically their philosophy to not unify anything but instead just keep bolting new things to different pieces of the OS, no matter how similar

yeah many linux systems will run fsck on mount as well if that same thing is detected, it’s not a windows specific thing

Well yeah, it’s built to run proton which is wine to emulate windows games. I’m talking about using it as a Linux machine outside of purely steam / windows games. Try to install megasync, for example

no, then he would have said snapcraft

Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub

Yeah my old apartment had one shared old ass boiler in the basement for the whole building, like 35 units.

I would have to wake up super early for my job, and in the spring/summer when the boiler wasn’t on to heat the radiators, I would often be the one to kick start it by turning my hot water on.

It would take like 10 minutes to heat up so I’d just run the shower on low pressure and get a few more minutes of sleep

The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps

Because it avoids this

It’s the baseline of UNIX, with Linux maintaining most compatibility, meaning servers around the world, desktop environments including MacOS and GNU/Linux, gaming machines (including video game consoles like PlayStation and Steam Deck), mobile devices like Android and Apple Devices, mainframe computing systems, embedded systems, so on and so forth. It makes up the backbone of our technology infrastructure. It continues to be iterated on, and is tightly bound with the C programming language and its improvements and iterations.

But also super far into cogdev because the largest investors in those efforts by far are the established tech giants that have been around for years, so they are directly supporting the biggest players getting bigger
