I completely agree, and I guess I should have qualified that I meant AAA and multiplayer games. All my other games I play directly on either my Steam Deck or my old 1080ti box.

If a PC game is not on GeForce Now, I’m not buying it. My old gaming PC is on a 1080ti and 16gb of RAM. No way I am upgrading at these prices.

What a shocking turn of events…but not really.

I have been playing Unreal Tournament (1999) since 2000. It is impossible for me to tally up those hours.

Revanced to discover new music, then selfhost what you liked.

Infosec professional for almost 30 years here. I can confirm that the latest iterations of AI models are finding high quality bugs and vulnerabilities in the code we work with. If Daniel has access to Mythos, I suspect his experience would be even more shocking.

The problem I have is that the AI tools can find bugs faster than they can be patched, which is eventually going to prompt companies to use AI to patch bugs found by AI. Before long, no living being will be able to make heads or tails out of the code we run. Just my 2¢.

Hopefully it can be found in the high seas. I have no interest in playing this type of game, but I would like to see it preserved as a thing that existed.

Now I want a Disney themed Unreal Tournament 2026. “Goofy instagibs Pumba”

Copilot seems like an online feature. As such, I hope it requires a GamePass subscription like all multiplayer games do.

Open a terminal and type “fdisk -l” to see a list of your detected drives. If they are listed there but not accesible through the “file explorer” equivalent, it just means they have not been mounted.

YES!!! Ruiner is one of my favorite indie games of the twenty teens.

In your opinion, how useful was Claude in your development process? How did you use it in your process?

Depends on what aspects of Canva you speak of.

• Graphics manipulation, a la Photoshop - GIMP
• Generative AI graphics - There is no ethical alternative
• Printing (t-shirts, posters, etc) - There are many out there, but you will have to create your design in GIMP first.

As long as no innocentworkers just trying to make a living were injured, I’m ok if the machines burn.

LMDE Cinnamon. Boring. Rock solid.

Called it.

I have a Pixel 9 and I had no idea this slop generator was a thing until now. I checked my phone and, sure enough, the app is there. That must be the most ignorable icon ever made.

I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad in 2020 and have been using that install as my daily driver without issue. That includes multiple LTS release upgrades. The key is to stick with LTS releases. It’s boring because you do not get the latest and greatest features, but the payoff is rock solid stability.

EDIT: As far as distros, I stick with Pop!_OS for myself, Linux Mint for my wife (we’re both IT professionals), and LMDE for my servers.

Server or workstation?

I don’t think you understand. Larry Ellison is a Bond villain, but with actual power. Like when he bought a fully armed (and functional) Mig-29 as soon as the Soviet Union collapsed, but the US would not allow him to import it.

A few months back, he was the richest man in the world. He owns TikTok, Oracle, Paramount/CBS, and more.
