I can’t shake the feeling that Win11 is part of the AI grift master-plan. They’re a big investor in OpenAI, and OpenAI needs to start showing large, genuine revenue. Locking both consumers and business customers into a subscription model for the largest OS by market share to fund this grift seems like exactly such collusion. The required minimum hardware requirements for Win11 feel like the big clue, here.

Great work! I did think that news article was a bit too perfect of an ending

They sell games to people with SteamDecks, I guess. My comment was probably a bit blunt TBF. I think Valve is transformative in the gaming space. They’re not doing it for free though, and I think it helps to remember that.

It’s corporations making money off of OSS all the way down

“… and hoping each time the next leap… will be the leap home”

It’s an old picture. It shows a sign for the Triangle Shopping Centre, which hasn’t existed for ~10 years, if memory serves.

From nbcnews…

The [tech] guild says it has been fighting for a contract to secure better wages, hours, benefits and job security, as well as foster diversity, equity and inclusion among the organization’s workforce.

The guild has accused Times management of not bargaining in good faith and making inflammatory decisions, like firing employees without just cause and limiting bargaining time in an effort to delay an agreement.

Easy Anti Cheat - requires manual removal

Wait, so this sketchy, privacy-invading stuff remains even after a game is uninstalled?! I had no idea.

How is this stuff not classed as malware at this point?

Yo dawg…

You’ll want to download and install the most up-to-date drivers. I believe this model benefits from a slight overclock too, so maybe look at purchasing a decent aftermarket cooler

Watching this gave me Aphex Twin vibes. Then I discovered it was directed by Chris Cunningham. So yeah, that’s why

Wouldn’t there be a lot of displaced water that needs to go somewhere?

What a shame. He was a good man

Void won’t package Hyprland because it doesn’t use a stable/tagged version of wlroots, so it needs a vendored version to build it (ref: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/37544)

This is dangerous

Well, they say you do have to be over 18 to use Concepts

C++: Nuh, uh …

template <typename T>
concept Crackable = requires(T obj) {
    { obj.crack() };
};

auto crack(Crackable auto& nut) {
    nut.crack();
}

Has “laying off staff to focus on AI “ become a common euphemism for “we hired too many people”?

If you’re using Steam then you could try adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to your launch options for the game. This will output a log file into $HOME/steam-$APPID.log ($APPID will probably be 823130 in this case). This log file might show why the game isn’t starting. You could even post this log file here as a pastebin link to see if anyone can help diagnose if you’re unable to see anything obvious.

Are you personally working on NVK? Terrific work if you are BTW! This is really positive progress

Yeah, that’s understandable; there’s probably a lot a proprietary stuff in the cuda sdk / driver.
