- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 4 days ago:
Out of all the services that Valve offers, you decided to compare their checkout page?
- Valve offers to devs, completely free of charge, full access to their matchmaking network, across any platform
- Valve has vastly improved Windows games compatibility on Linux, by developing Proton. Epic locks users to Windows, because of their anti-cheat.
- Valve revolutionized handheld gaming, by bringing desktop games to portable devices
- Valve requires devs to show in the games’ store page whether it contains AI slop. Epic is a supporter of AI slop

- Comment on Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMs 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to Altman lobbying towards considering AI training as fair use of copyrighted material.
I know that pirating is not fair use. However, AI companies seem to rely on pirated copies to train their slop machines, and they are trying to justify this behavior.

No, it’s fair use

Maybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?

When you create VMs/containers, there is an option on the network step to set the VLAN tag to use
- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 2 weeks ago:
We didn’t hid our heads in the sand. Your comment serves no purpose, besides being a rant about how Linux cannot work for you. You could at least be more polite.
No one forced you to use Linux, and probably no one will. It’s your setup, and it’s your responsibility.
If you want to keep being an asshole, you will only get more down votes. If you need help transitioning to Linux, you can politely ask for it.
There is no point attacking random people for not “acknowledging” your issues.
- Comment on F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email 4 weeks ago:
Can you elaborate? To me, Go seems to have less boilerplate.
- Go does not have access modifiers
- Go does not force you to put everything in classes
- Go does not force you to declare every exception that may be thrown by a function

Go is verbose? Have you ever written Java?
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 month ago:
It’s free until you start wasting money on hosting and domains, for websites that no one will ever visit.
I don’t want to know how much I would be paying, if I didn’t have a home server with fiber internet.

I have managed to get to locked out of my own Nextcloud. It was encrypted, and I didn’t know that I had to keep a backup of the keys in its config files. I only had a RAID1 for the user data.

- Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing 2 months ago:
Keep in mind that a lot of webpages block traffic from datacenters, as they are trying to protect themselves from AI scrappers. I recently had an issue with OpenAI making thousands of requests to one of my servers.
- Comment on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs 2 months ago:
blocked in acpi
install Linux
Huh? How could Linux solve an ACPI problem?
- Comment on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs 2 months ago:
This doesn’t answer the Linux part of the question.
What does “licensing issue” means for the laptop itself? Is HEVC disabled at BIOS/firmware level, or it is just disabled at Windows driver level?
In the latter case, HEVC should work with Linux, as it uses generic Intel/AMD drivers, instead of specific Dell/HP ones.

- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 2 months ago:
Did you bother to read the 3rd part of my previous comment?
- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 2 months ago:
If I understand correctly, those mirrors will reflect sun rays, that would otherwise be wasted across the universe, to earth.
So, you are fundamentally wrong. The very idea is to reflect sunlight that wouldn’t otherwise hit the planer. This WILL add extra energy to the planet.
Even if they used sunlight that bounces off earth, they would still cause issues, just a little less serious. This is because they would be trapping energy that tries to leave the earth.

- Comment on The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow) 3 months ago:
I think that you misunderstood my comment.
The video shows how SLI makes the frame pacing more inconsistent, which is a known issue when multiple GPUs work together to solve the same problem.
What I am talking about is more like Nvidia Optimus. This is a common technology on laptops, where the display is connected to the low power iGPU, while games can use the dedicated Nvidia chipset.
I don’t know about potential frame pacing issues on these technologies, and it seems like it was not addressed in the video either. However, I know that newer laptops have a switching chip that connects the display to the dedicated GPU, which, I think, aims on lowering the latency.
- Comment on The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow) 3 months ago:
You can still use such GPU as an accelerator either for running AI, or for gaming. In either case, given that you workload is Vulkan-based on Linux, you can use vkdevicechooser.
Of course, you will need a second GPU (even the CPU’s integrated one) to connect your display(s).
