I think at this point it’s not about money, it’s about sending a message.

I mean switching to OpenCL and not relying on CUDA would be great but I don’t know how I feel about it.

Qualcomm is getting close with Elite series, but Apple still has the lead. Others are pretty behind in performance. Mediatek is fine if your only use case is watching YouTube.

But, but I want my stuff to work perfectly without me putting any effort or paying monies 😭

Deep Rock Galactic and especially Helldivers 2 gave me the most positive interactions with random strangers despite lack of dedicated social hubs or lobbies.

Yes. At this point they are pretty much trying to fail but failing at that.

Even some Windows rootkits work well with proton. For example Helldiver 2 with nProtect work perfectly since release.

Early this year Rümeysa Öztürk was kidnapped and deported from USA with precisely that excuse. Anti-Israel hence pro Hamas hence enemy of USA.

My young colleagues (early 20s, I’m in 40s) found some real cheap beyblades in nearby Lidl, set up an arena and started fighting at breaks. They asked if we could 3d print custom parts. I’m not that interested in participating but I’m very interested in engineering the shit out of them.
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 3 weeks ago:
Indeed. I’m not against copyrights owned by individuals. Corporations owning rights is downright dystopian.

Imagine launching weather satellites and there is suddenly a whole new continental society living peacefully by intentionally avoiding rest of the world.
(I know this is absurd at several levels)
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 5 weeks ago:
It wasn’t only in Germany. It first started in Italy as Fascism, and became popular all over the place. As with many Italian inventions, Germans “improved” it and made Nazizm. But they also inspired a lot of similar racist movements, especially around Europe. Captain America was published in 1938 specifically because some comic artists worried Hitler was becoming too popular in USA.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 5 weeks ago:
When a new game costs 60 bucks, just paying for a game pass and have access to a random library seems appealing. It’s also a nice way to try and discover games I guess. I never used it.
- Comment on Reddit stock falls for second day as references to its content in ChatGPT responses plummet 5 weeks ago:
I don’t care about their stock value but the situation fells so weird. So chatgpt refers to reddit less, and that makes reddit stock value fall. This really shows how much of the share value is pure hype and how much of “the economy” is pure manupulation of numbers instead of actual value.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Yes, and most of that consumer base needs to stop tolerating quite a bit of reactionary bullshit (yes, American “conservatives” aren’t conservative, they don’t keep status quo, they actively destroy it for regression, they are reactionary).

LBRY was an interesting experiment but it ultimately relied on their shitcoin for the financial side.

Some creators advertise Nebula, a paid-only service that is co-owned by the creators they host. Ethically and for viewing experience it’s one of the best ways to run such a platform but they will remain limited in size for several reasons.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 2 months ago:
So does Ubuntu, but there is a catch. Secure boot relies on signature checking, so you can manually add the signature of your OS manually to the UEFI db, but can’t do that on locked UEFI. Major Linux providers went another route, they paid Microsoft to sign a
shimbinary, which in turn can verify and boot the matching Linux kernels. Microsoft refusing to sign shims would be a rather crippling move, but they would get a massive backlash from that. - Comment on Inspiring. Innovating. 2 months ago:
