I’d rather have SteamOS officially support more devices including desktop. Good on Valve for giving people options though.

Great news! The more devices running SteamOS the better

It was a joke on the dual meaning of “user repository” which I didn’t think about that deeply but that would have been smart.

And the Arch User Repository is really handy when you need some more users.

Somebody set us up the mandatory online accounts and telemetry!

All your PCs are belong to us. You have no chance to back up make your time.

Last time a batch of these popped up it was saying they’d be bankrupt in 2024 so I guess they’ve made it to 2025 now. I wonder if we’ll see similar articles again next year.

Oh nice that sounds awesome! The only similar kinda thing I remember from back in the day was Microsoft Zone. Used to play a bit of Total Annihilation on there.

I don’t but it’s probably pretty region dependent. In Australia I used to play on Internode servers a lot.

Those were the days for sure. Dedicated servers were fantastic, you’d often run across the same people in the same server as well and get to know folks. A community, like you said.

It’s quite sad that a take like “if you find LLMs useful you must have a bullshit job” is getting upvoted in a technology community.

Things are either wholly good or wholly bad. Don’t confuse people by trying to pretend like there’s such a thing as nuance.

Microsoft set themselves up the bomb

This looks pretty interesting! I haven’t used fedora before either so could be good to give it a go. I’ve had some issues with my Pop OS install so could be a good excuse to try something new.

If only every journalism team was as honest and tenacious as the Gamers Nexus folks no matter what the subject matter the world would be a much better place.

Huge respect to them for consistently calling out bs and using their platform to advocate for customers and hold these companies to account.

Been using this recently and it’s great. I have it on my Mac for work but I should really set it up on my personal Linux PC as well because I really like it.

Get it to debug itself then.

Or filter it in

Sure but… what do you propose? Saying be mindful of our energy use isn’t actionable. Are you saying we should cap energy use and have a bidding system for industries who want to use new capacity, have a carbon price so industries are encouraged to use non carbon producing energy? I still don’t understand what you’re suggesting. Or maybe if you think entertainment is a waste of energy we should ban non educational use of video on the internet as I’m sure that is an insane amount of energy use worldwide.

What do you propose, exactly? We have the technology right now to decarbonise our grid, it’s even the sensible move economically now. Are you saying we should all stop having kids and building anything new that uses electricity? I’m assuming that’s not your position but that’s what I took from reading your comment.

I have no idea, that’s kind of my point. I’m not trying to argue that it’s not much, or that it’s a lot, or that it’s worth it or not, just saying I have no idea and neither that article nor any of the ones you linked gave me the answer.

I think it’s an important consideration, so I’d love more information but it seems that it’s not available. Maybe it’s hard to calculate because things like the energy used and exact amount of compute are trade secrets or something, I don’t know. It’d be nice to know though.
