Summarizing documents, writing documents you don’t want to (within reason), and… whatever the hell Neuro-sama is doing on Vedal’s channel, are like the only ones i’ve found so far that kind of work. And I guess image generation.

That definitely is true, we do tolerate a lot of rough edges out of ethics and principals.

Interestingly, the Linux foundation had to remove several Russian maintainers recently because of the sanctions.
I have not looked into the details on the matter, but from what I gleaned it seems like they did not want to (don’t punish the individual for the sins of their government), but were made to. Linus Torvalds apparently made a statement on the matter that I still need to go read.
I could be very very wrong on this and am open to being educated.

A lot of people grew up in a time where the desire for anonymity on the internet was praised and respected, reading usernames unless you had a specific reason to do so was considered strange.
I know I at the very least have to force myself to look at them if it’s something that needs doing, as I am conditioned specifically to ignore them.

My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.
The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn’t feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 3 weeks ago:
I actually hand-typed it, thank you very much.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 3 weeks ago:
I listed a bunch of things that have been said by the community in the past, and pointed out that he made a statemen that fell into that larger bucket.
So, i would be willing to concede that I lumped him in with the greater whole. But: I did not start with the aggressive namecalling.
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 3 weeks ago:
Read the first post again and tell me how what i just said is a backpedal.

I accused the community as a whole of goalpost moving.

I think that talking about how you want to switch but then claim the thing you want to switch to sucks because of totally fabricated reasons is cringe.
I don’t think everyone should switch, but i do think that people walking around spouting out bullshit that they clearly have no idea about should be called out and shut down.

So the projector thing isnt from DXVK, but rather from the Windows Media Foundation library. Basically, there are a bunch of video codecs that are completely illegal to reimplement locally because of the patents on them.
The good news is that Valve is working on a major workaround, and just pushed it out to Proton Experimental recently. They’ve had okay-to-good support for video codecs up until recently (right around after you had that problem), and now it should be moving towards great-to-perfect.

Honestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.
If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck.

The goalposts have moved to hopefully their final position
-
99% of my games don’t work! I’m not switching!
-
About half of my games don’t work, I’m not swiching!
-
20% of my games don’t work but the ones that do are all perfect, I’m not switching!
-
10% of my games don’t work and Valve is pushing for functioning anticheat with EasyAntiCheat and BattleEye, i’m not switching!
-
You are here → 0.1% of my games don’t work because of holdout companies being assholes and refusing to support Linux despite the massive success of the Steam Deck, I’m not switching!
At some point you have to ask yourself if it’s the companies thats holding you back or if it’s really actually you who are holding yourself back. Switching is gonna always require some kind of sacrifice or another, and currently that sacrifice has never been this minimal.

I dont think that the developers who came up with the processes for LLMs were really targeting that usecase. It just so happens that the limitations of LLMs also lend power to disinformatiom. LLMs don’t really know how to say “I don’t know”.

- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
It is not a conflation. Word is a component of M365.
I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding. Perhaps you should brush up on yours.
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
Do you realize how much data is sent from Word to the O365/M365 service as you type if you have an internet connection?
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
Excuse me but web office apps are 95% on par with their desktop counterparts now. There are still a few power features missing but that gap is slowly closing constantly.
So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
I mean, with o365, you technically do. Your example doesn’t work as well as you think it does.

So you are leaving out the adjective “work” on purpose when you say “not a truck” because…?
Why are you being deceptive? What do you gain from that?

What makes them not real? They’re shaped like a truck and they operare purely on batteries, what more could there be? I get the feeling that this is truck-snobbery like the ford vs chevy guys from 20-30 years ago

kind of
If you download the client, it’s just an electron app, so all of the bits written in js/css/etc are sitting right there in the client itself. People have used this to repackage it with customizations, such as webcord (nicer user experience on Linux) and others.
As for the compiled bits… well, every binary executable is open source if you’re brave enough
