What I’m referring to is the Baldur’s Gate 3 fiasco. I don’t know how things panned out, but people were turning away from it at the time. Admins were aware/involved as far as I know remember.

Wonder how long that will stand. Also hasn’t 1337 been deemed unsafe, or is it back on good terms?

I had a lot of high hopes for what it was striving to be, but it kind of fizzled out and never really excelled at any particular thing. Not saying it’s necessarily bad, I just remember being so hyped about it.

I find it kinda funny. I find it kinda sad he’s got many followers that I wish he’d never had.

Maaaad woooorld

Ugh Starbound was supposed to be so sick. That might be the only time I actually bought into early access hoping for more and got let down.

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.

Lmao wait what? 🎵It’s no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy🎵

Even if you’re gay in Palestine, right now, the biggest threat to your existence is Israel. You support a society where children are murdered by a state for existing.

I still find myself trying to search like that every once in a while :(

This is literally the last thing I expected the thread to lead to. After last, even. I love it lmao

It’s gotta have a massive battery unless it’s running AAA games for like 15 minutes…

The takes are completely dumbass and abhorrent. They shouldn’t get a response.

Oddly enough, I suddenly couldn’t log into my old account today either. I used the word Lemmy in a chat, so I assume that’s it. I literally never post and rarely comment. Right in line for that shitsack site. I don’t know why I expected better from reddit than just straight up locking you out.

Been in the same situation, with closer to mid-level experience. A plethora of companies, constantly hiring for the same positions while rejecting hundreds of applicants, week after week. Makes total sense. I can only hope there’s something illegal about it.

So it’s pretty bad and barely works. And yet, I’m considering it.

Screw the running water and antibiotics. I don’t need no machinery or amenities, give me cheese!

Computers are cool though

The real paradox is this opinion coming from Twitter

Geico ain’t got shit on that

I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)

Isn’t this the/almost the last one, or was that a fever dream I had?
