I am not renting my corporeal existence from a megacorporation. There is no way this is ever affordable to the masses without some pretty huge caveats

There are conspiracies after all, but they’re just the usual ‘capitalist assholes screw the rest of us over’ kind rather than the ‘three-assed aliens kidnapped me and forced me to watch naked while they fed pineapple on a pizza to my dog’ kind.
Crashing has not been an issue on my deck. I’m 3 days shy of my 2 year anniversary with my steam deck. I can recall it crashing maybe 3 or 4 times, each of those linked to some custom game launcher and all in the default mode rather than desktop. For a while it used to hang when woken from sleep, but that hasn’t happened in 6 months so I assume was fixed in an update.
I’m using desktop for emulation and games from GOG and Epic.
The culture novels, such a good pick!
I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn’t match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I’ll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today’s standards.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a movie made yet.
Other people who’ve read it and who I’ve talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?
Game: Super Mario Galaxy
Book: The Rama series, Arthur C Clarke
TV: The West Wing
Movie: The 5th Element
If you’re not using GNU/Hurd are you even trying?
That’s also my Springsteen take
I have it on Android, it feels more like a PC game ported to Android. I quite enjoyed it.
If I’m honest, I just want my creature to learn how to fling it’s shit at the enemy worshippers.
Poke me when he announces a remaster of either Black & White game.
Time to ditch the Guy Fawkes mask for a powdered wig instead
One of the critical differences between FOSS and commercial software is that FOSS projects don’t need to drive sales and consequently also don’t need to immediately jump onto technology trends in order to not look like they’re lagging behind the competition.
What I’ve consistently seen from FOSS over the 30 years I’ve been using it, is that if a technology choice is a good fit for the problem, then it will be adopted into projects where relevant.
I believe that there are use cases where LLM processing is absolutely a good fit, and the projects that need that functionality will use it. What you’re less likely to see is ‘AI’ added to everything, because it isn’t generally a good solution to most problems in it’s current form.
As an aside, you may be less likely to get good faith interaction with your question while using the term ‘luddite’ as it is quite pejorative.

How about, ‘no’?
