That could be considered (relative) dead, given how many Windows users exist compared to Linux. In more serious note, I just think that Lemmy attracts more Linux users than Windows. That’s all to it.

Why is a MacOS related screenshot posted in a Linux community for a question about Windows?

Good to know. The question is, about the quality of the site (no ads, fast downloads, direct links) and so on.

I also did just upload a copy of a screenshot (not made by me). The screenshot here is the message from Discord or Telegram: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/3ce1c9cc-7332-4367-9acd-ed6948e5e735.png

After some updates, I usually restart. As I am on an Arch based system, its usually at least once per week. Sometimes I am doing some projects, in which I want to leave the state as it is and not interrupt my “work”. Usually this takes at least a few days, so during that period I don’t update anything and continue my work. And sometimes at normal usage I don’t need to restart, but after 5 to 7 days I “force” a restart just to get to a clean state again. Can’t hurt.

We had such issues way before Ai driven development. It might be, but not all problems and bugs are caused by usage of Ai.

Never said its a revelation. I just pointed out an interesting use case, which does not involve content generation like code or art.

I read about what Rubber duck debugging is in the linked article. It’s a totally different thing that what I’m talking about.

I don’t think the case I talked in my post is comparable to Rubber duck debugging.

Ah I see, thanks for the link. I don’t think the case I talked about is the same case as Rubber duck debugging. It’s not to read aloud (maybe in front of another programmer or audience). It’s more like, if your students or end user read the documentation and still have some questions left at the end. And ask you the questions about stuff they did not understand.

I’m not really familiar with Rubber ducky and just quickly searched the web. So it is a tool to create tests? Or what is it exactly? Is it an Ai tool? Can it read the entire code or documentation base and then pretend to be a student or developer that asks you questions about it?

I am not down playing the other issues it has, like licensing, cost, environmental impact, dependency and privacy issues. These are still an issue with such an online LLM tool. But that is not the point of my post and does not take away about a “good” use case. In my opinion.

For those who don’t read the article in its entirety and want to test the feature in current stable Firefox:

Split View can be enabled in Firefox 147 and Firefox 148 from about:config by setting the browser.tabs.splitView.enabled option to true

I tried it already and it works just normal like a splitview would work. I personally don’t have a use case for it… yet. I probably rather would just open a second window instead.

At least for gaming, given that we have AMD (and now to a little degree Intel), it’s not really a monopoly. We do not depend on Nvidia. Unless we talk about the highest end off course, but that is not what the majority of players would buy anyway. Nvidia has a monopoly situation on the Ai datacenters, yes, but not on the gaming GPU side.

Kent is cooked.

This is what Skull & Bones wish to be.

The old game (2013 release) is 1.43 GB small and the new version is 3.43 GB big. There was some speculation to what the changed would include. I speculated about the fast battle options and such, but also speculated that the online server requirement and launcher would go away. I am currently downloading the new version to test this out by disabling my internet connection (after download obviously lol). It is neat we get the new version for free, take that Nintendo and Sony!

• after download immediately disconnect from internet
• run game for first time, it installs DirectX in the background (I’m on Linux BTW)
• I get a Unable to Sync warning for the save files, obviously, click Play anyway
• there is a new launcher… sigh
• but the game finally launches without internet requirement, no more server check! Exactly what I was hoping more, plus the new launcher can be controlled with gamepad
• the sword on the title screen looks ugly…
• video intro sequence still 15 fps, they did not change that

Generally looks and plays fine, no further issues. I still prefer the original game on Playstation 1 (maybe my favorite game of all time?) and prefer to emulate it with RetroArch, to apply quality shaders that mimic CRT. The graphics without CRT shader look ugly to me. But this version seems to be fine to play too. It’s a vastly different game compared to the Remake… At least there is not disc swapping issue.

Actually, I think in one point you are right: Don’t phase out X. Because that would mean all the horrible people would go to all the alternatives and spread like viruses… So leave X there for honeypot of dumb users.

Libreofficedoes, what Nintendon’t.

I don’t think that ease of use is the problem. The problem is, people want an exact copy. Most people don’t like changes, they just hope that the alternative is the same, just without the issues they leaving it. Same expectations for GIMP and Linux operating systems… (for the normie at least).

Yeah, I’m surprised how many go to Bluesky. It’s just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.
