Well Valve should sell an optional DisplayPort adapter then, right?

The Steam Machine is supposed to be plug and play, and not getting VRR on your TV is a huge compromise.

+1

For stuff like editing massive files or huge folders, the least stuttery, fastest IDE for me is... VScode. Jetbrains (last I tried it) is awful.

Code may not use 1MB of RAM or idle dead asleep, but it utilizes the CPU/GPU efficiently.

Now, extensions are the caveat, like any app that supports extensions. Those can bog it down real quick.

I buy this.

I think publishers looked at Fortnite, Overwatch, Call of Duty, PubG, GTA on a superficial level, and concluded that their customers don’t care about comprehensive immersion. Gamers (presumably) like “serious” yet shallow, not quite tongue-in-cheek and not requiring much attention span.

I’m not sure if that’s the bathos you describe, but it seems close.

Hence publishers tried to reconcile that “Fortnite style” (an expansive, flashy veneer of lore, art, and cheese without anything beyond that) with traditional RPGs, and ended up “neither here nor there.”

I mean, many forums are still live.

The problem is engagement. Discord, YouTube, even Lemmy all ping you in your pocket and offer more “instant” dopamine hits than a forum or news site, hence they’ve sucked all the attention.

It works. I’m guilty of falling into it for sure, even when I keep telling myself I will change my information diet.

Well, this is her record label:

Now that they're public, I doubt they want to start a legal spat with the Trump admin, even if they are European.

You know what’s stupid?

Paying for a blue checkmark.

And her source is a Facebook post about an architect pointing out discrepancies in the plans and budget. But it isn’t linked.

It’s misleading.

IBM is very much into AI, as a modest, legally trained, economical tool. See: https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite

But this is the CEO saying “We aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid.” It’s shockingly reasonable.

I’m not impressed with the video. There’s nothing substantive or sourced, no expertise, other than a Facebook post she didn’t even link.

…I mean, it’s plausible, and I’m all for ballroom conspiracies.

But I guess this is just a (now) old person shaking their fist to say this isn’t real journalism, and it’s sad millions of people treat it as such.

That’s interesting.

I dunno if that's any better. Compiler development is hard, and expensive.

I dunno what issue they have with LLVM, but it would have to be massive to justify building around it and then switching away to re-invent it.

And the discoverability pipe is breaking.

• No one reads oldschool curators like RockPaperShotgun anymore. They're barely afloat.
• Generic algorithmic social media like YouTube tends to snowball a few games.
• Forums are dead. Reddit is dystopian.

That leaves Steam's algorithm, and a sea of sparsely seen solo reviewers. But there are billions of people oblivious to passion projects they'd love, and playing AAAs or gacha phone apps instead.

I consider the "year of linux" when OEMs ship it in laptops and desktops, in volume.

In other words, it's when I see several linux laptops in Best Buy.

Sadly, we might 'miss' that window. It seems like regular folks are moving to tablets, phones, and Android PCs for home use. Business will be stuck on Windows forever. So it appears the future we're barreling to is iOS/Android for the masses, laptops (mostly) as pure workplace machines, and then the PC gaming sector essentially depreciating Windows and migrating to (in delicious irony) Windows APIs on linux.

I mean, it makes sense inside like a docker container or VM.

...Not like this.

Ahh! Yeah, there's some great-looking 'western' animation now.

Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra is the Dota animators' claim to fame, with the same style of painted backgrounds:

FYI the 'official' butter beer in Universal Orlando is a butterscotch flavored, usually served hot from a tap, and ridiculously sweet.

openSUSE is GOAT.

I'm a CachyOS shill, and I'd recommend Tumbleweed to anyone. It's criminal that folks use stuff like Ubuntu or Manjaro over it.

3% is insane.

I am not a "year of linux" huffer. The majority of the population doesn't even know what a filesystem is, much less (for example) how to get to the BIOS setting they need to even install linux.

But 3% is absolutely a threshold for "viral social spread" amongst those that can.

Stellaris...

What a mess. I've played on and off since release, and somehow it just keeps getting jankier, the AI more and more broken. Community fixes/mods don't last since they keep rewriting the game a-la-carte.

I really want to try it again, but it just doesn't feel like a "space sandbox" when the AI is so dumb, and I know it'll slow to a crawl by endgame, even on a 7800.

I'm late here, but you need technology, friend.

This for example:

But when there’s mold starting to grow between the tiles in the bathroom I probably won’t notice it for a long time and, once I do notice it, ignore it :P

Or, it took me over a year to finally get rid of our broken washing machine. My wife has asked me to take care of it and I said I would but then months passed and nothing happened.

Set reminders on your phone. Get it to NAG you. You don't have to do this stuff immediately, but trust me, setting the reminder is doable.

Default calendar apps are good, but there are more complex notification systems you can use as well.

Sometimes it really isn’t (last week I almost set the oven on fire)

For big events like this, write it down in a journal. Then go back and read it every once in awhile; it keeps the mistakes 'fresher' in your brain.

There are tons of little things like this, but basically, whenever you run into a failure, reach for a tool to compensate. Don't just wish your brain can do everything by itself; it cannot.

Maybe, as sad as it is, we’re better off apart and would be happier on own own / with someone else.

Finally, I find its easy to be in a "negative trap" with ADHD. Make small positive improvements, like highlighted above, and consciously keep a more positive attitude.

...Also, your SO should encourage you when improvements happen.

If she doesn't, talk to her about it. Express that you're making these habitual improvements, and ask her give little bits of encouragement, to nag you about setting reminders; whatever you need. External praise (even in tiny amounts) is very important.

And pure negativity is a trap.

If she can't stay positive about small improvements, that's a problem. You two should talk about that in therapy, or at least have a deep, calm, planned chat about it.

I mean, it has a lot of 'LLM speak'. Tons of headings, bulleted lists, markdown, em dashes, bringing up philosophical concepts out of the blue then going on about them.

I am not part of the 'Fuck AI' lemmy crowd; I don't mind LLMs, I use them a ton. But this smells like substack LLM spam to me.

That aside, yeah, DC is great for long distance transmission. I'm all for that.

...But low voltage/short distance? That doesn't make any sense.

And that's what confuses me. The article is not even clear (to me) about what it's advocating for, other than bringing up the cost of machinery for (long distance?) AC transmission.
