I don’t really care that much. I’m quite happy for AI to be used to create more content in my games wherever it’s appropriate. If a company can use AI to create all the mundane background content that nobody really wants to make then who cares? It doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re going to fire people, it might just be the same people making more content.

Also, I know they were using it for translations. AI is actually excellent at translating and it’s better than not having them.

It’s not even clear what changed.

Just something to bear in mind regarding OneDrive; the unofficial clients don’t have access to certain APIs that the official clients use meaning that it only syncs every 5 minutes at best. As far as I know there’s nothing you can do about it.

Linux is way easier than it was even 10 years ago and many games run better on Linux than they do on Windows. There’s gaming distros but I’m not sure what the benefit is other than the built-in NVIDIA drivers. I just game on Fedora. You need to enable Proton stuff in the settings and you’re off.

I get the sentiment but there’s probably bigger things that we should be campaigning for than saving NFS: The Crew.

Let me know if you figure out how to get UO working on Wine. I have to use the online client.

This is just some glitch. They’ve not said anything about watching stuff locally becoming a pay thing.

I’ll probably keep using it and see what happens. To be honest I’ll just go where the content is, and if the new people fuck it up it’ll likely go elsewhere.

I rushed to the comments when I saw a 1.6ghz CPU being called low end but I see OPs already been dealt with. I remember the first ever 1ghz CPU being an overclocked nitrogen cooled AMD Athlon. Me and my mates were all talking about it when it happened.

I think if you wiped everyone’s prior experience and knowledge and all that stuff, like just wiped the slate clean and presented all the OSes for what they are and let everyone choose which on they got to use, things would land pretty much where they are right now. Linux is generally way easier than it was 10 years ago but it’s still far too tricky for most normal users. If it’s too difficult for them to use then they effectively don’t have a computer and it’s useless to them. Linux may be free but after dropping £1000+ on a laptop people don’t mind so much paying an extra £70 for the software.

The two most important things to normal people are good looks and ease of use and Linux comes in last in both of those races.

Linux isn’t for normal people, it’s made by nerds for nerds.

I spent a few years living in a developing country in Africa so I have some appreciation of what you’re going through. I used to find lots of technology shops on Google Maps, etc, then when I got there they just sold phone covers and SIM cards and knock-off iPhones.

I can’t really offer much advice but have you considered just making something based on a second hand laptop? A lot of them are still pretty powerful just with old batteries and they’re designed to run efficiently.

I always thought it’s kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There’s also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that’s 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we’re talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we’re also looking to inhabit other planets.

It looks like the kind of interface they’d use in classic Pokemon or Stardew Valley. I like the colours.

It’s on Linux too if anyone’s interested. I was playing it yesterday.

I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.

Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?

If you download Bottles it has pre-fabbed Wine environments for certain software, including Fusion 360. I’ve used it occasionally for the last year although there seems to have been a recent update that’s killed it. Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.

If you like Zorin and want to support it then just do it. Don’t let other people tell you to switch, more people should contribute.

I didn’t want to say this but I can’t help myself.

It’s addictive, not addicting.

I know but it’s cheap.
