“turning to Youtube” doesn’t really say much one way or another. There is a wide range of content from professional media over smaller alternative media outlets over individual opinion pieces to manufactured disinformation from state actors all hosted on Youtube.
Depends on who’s writing the laws. Sometimes crime is moral.
With the resurgence of chauvinist parties who ignore human rights this is important to keep in mind at the moment.
More importantly, they can’t adapt Windows to their needs.
Isn’t that too slow for streaming video?
Oh so that’s where the new porn characters are from!
I’ve tinkered plenty even when using Windows haha. I even have a Windows 98 and Windows XP virtual machine for some old things, but everything I care about seems to have a modern HD release, a userpatch or can be hooked with dxwnd, so I don’t use them anymore at the moment.
But yeah probably the long term solution is Linux. Personally I wouldn’t run Windows 7 anymore. The unfixed CVE list has become quite long. I just went checking for the above titles out of principle, because I don’t like this conflation of PC gaming with only Steam.
I still haven’t made the jump to gaming on Linux, unfortunately. Although I’ve been running a dual boot for the last 8 years or so, because I used Linux for my studies, use it for my work, and for hosting my game servers on a second computer, so I would be in a prime position… but so far I have just gone the way of least resistance, which is still Windows 10 at the moment.
But I have a deadline now: October 2025. Just need to figure out the best distro, I don’t think I’ll use my existing Fedora KDE install for this. Maybe Arch, or one of these new immutable distros, that might be neat for when different games require different versions of libraries.
Ah sorry I hadn’t heard that they switched to Java 21 with 1.20.5
The title of that article is kind of weird. It’s just wrong to claim they are dead for gaming because of a lack of steam.
Anyone can just get Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Stardew Valley, or Anno 2070 from GoG and for each of them you can game for another 50 hours without needing steam. Or get Minecraft from their page directly and play for 100 hours. This is all without going to any retro titles.
looks like a console from a 90s pop music video
We just discussed this a month ago in the [email protected] community if anyone wants to check it here’s the link: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/23083174
Sure, but that’s not a woman, that’s a drawing.
Comparing the evolution of art styles to the evolution of dog breeds, doesn’t strike me as problematic.
I also prefer coming late and leaving late. After finishing my formal education nothing forces me into the rhythm of the morning larks anymore. I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit.
Check the date
Depends on the day I’d say. Option 1 if they’re feeling row major, option 2 for column major days
Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.
Damn that’s a spectre that I hadn’t even thought of yet.
I’m guessing here, but the only thing that makes sense in context is Fixed Wireless Access, FWA.
Maybe some error with the initialism snuck in because Shimitar is from Italy. I could see myself doing something similar, since in German we read W as “vee”.
Well, maybe now with a republican FCC
lol, no
All these shady things started happening after he left.
Not really, they have a history of this kind of thing. They just calmed down a little between roughly 2005 and 2015.
The big antitrust case when they killed Netscape was in 1998. Bill Gate’s deposition from that case is kind of interesting to watch as a historical document. It’s on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL90W55zhFBOuZuhgxBsjpgDy0o3ll1PSz
In that lawsuit their “Embrace Extend Extinguish” strategy in which they tried to smother open standards became public too.
They tried with Java and their J++ language too, but failed luckily. And lost a lawsuit against Sun on the way.
Maybe I’m desensitized because our group address is published in multiple places on the web, but that email is not even slightly noteworthy. This November we’ve already gotten 7 emails that said our mailbox was full or we needed to change its password.
To me this is just background noise of the Internet.
