Cool cool, what’s the constitutional penalty for Treason again?

I’ll eat my car is there is a single Billionaire spends any amount of time at these protests

“Chat, this position is aGPL so feel free to incorporate it into your sessions”

Intrusive? You’re not talking about AI itself. I have a 8GB model file and it is not intruding in anything. It’s actually just sitting on the hard drive not doing anything intrusive at all.

What you’re talking about are things like Microsoft’s CoPilot AI, or Apple’s Siri integration or whatever other chatbot service that people pay for. Those service are intrusive, but they were intrusive before AI was invented.

I knew it was a lie

I mean, you did imply that I make people who disagree with me my personal enemies based on me commenting “Fuck gen-AI though”.

I didn’t say you were not a bot, I only allowed that you were possibly a regular human. Though it is sus that you’re anti-AI and also being offended on the behalf of bots, hmmmm

And why should LLM-bots post anti-AI messages?

The same reason an LLM does anything, because a human prompted them to.

I sed what I sed

I sure did insult the anti-ai bots, you are right about that.

That should not offend people that are not bots.

You may have your opinions and be a human, but that is not true of everyone who posts on this topic.

If you’re reading ‘bots’ as ‘people I think are dumb’ or ‘NPCs IRL’ instead of ‘automated posting done with the use of LLM augmented human agents coordinating in teams’ then we’re probably having two different conversations.

Yeah well, I don’t like crunchy peanut butter but I don’t make it my entire identity or treat anyone who disagrees as a mortal enemy.

It didn’t, but EAC added Linux support a while ago… so any game dev can choose enable Linux support (and most do in my experience). I play many EAC games on Arch(, btw) with an NVIDIA card, HDMI 2.1, HDR works, etc. I have a working VR (Index) setup, a gaming mouse with better customization software (imo) than Windows, etc.

Most of these things had various minor issues even a year ago and now the only thing I can think that is non-standard/requires tinkering is that I’m using beta drivers to have Vulkan support on NVIDIA. This provides a good HDR implementation. Once the Vulkan support is released in the official driver then a user could get all of the same features without ever needing to do anything but update their system and install Steam.

Progress in the Linux gaming space advances every week. Things are approaching perfect, outside of structural issues (such as kernel anticheat). I have 213 games in my Steam library and the only game that I cannot play is Apex: Legends.

Apex runs just fine, but EAC is configured to kick Linux clients if you try to connect to a match. This isn’t a Linux issue that can be patched, this is a developer choosing to not allow Linux.

If you haven’t tried gaming on Linux in a while, you should give it a shot. I’ve long since ditched Windows in order to have more free space.

anti-ai bots don’t understand humor, just hatred and outrage

The siren call of enshittification-driven short-term profits was too strong.

A leader doesn’t seem necessary. The leaderless nonviolent resistance movement has been winning in the court of public opinion.

100%

In some sense, they’re using modern technology to mass produce propaganda but the people actually directing things are still stuck in the 1900s mindset when regards to thinking about power.

Communication Technology has made these kinds of diffuse movements possible, that’s why they’re trying desperately to create an ‘antifa’ to fight against. They want a conflict with a target that they can slander/attack and instead they’re just getting shit spontaneously from every possible angle.

They’re fighting a 20th century battle with 21st century technology. Like Russia using armor to invade a country armed with Javelins.

Steam? We had Wine launch scripts AND WE LOVED IT.

If our DXVK and Mesa versions were not compatible we just kernel panicked like a real OS. Kids these days with their GE-Proton and NTSYNC don’t know how good they have it.

Kernel synchronization primitives? ABSOLUTELY NOT, we’ll use file mutexes in userspace like Linus intended.

If they didn’t want to be looked down upon then they wouldn’t be using inferiour software.

Space Marine 2 works just fine on Linux, I was just playing it last weekend. It has a gold rating on Protondb.

Kernel anticheat games can die in a fire, with all due respect to them.

I’ll worry about them when I get through my backlog of games which grows faster than my completed game list.

The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.

The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.

Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux’s growth than Microsoft’s complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.

Life ain’t fo’ hatin’, life is FauxLiving

They don’t need to target everyone, just the people with the aptitude and inclination for leadership and organization.

The goal wouldn’t be to arrest everyone who doesn’t like them, just to prevent that anger from leading to the creation of a real political opposition movement.

Yeah, this isn’t any kind of crazy technology there should be a way to do it with any device that has bluetooth and a processor.

All it does is listens for devices, almost like it would when you’re trying to pair your earbuds. It just compares the detected MAC addresses vs a list and sends you a notification/alerts you if there is a match.

You can do the same with Wifi (the kids used to call it wardriving, back when modems were a thing and pringles cans had appreciable metal contents) but the people for whom that information is useful will know how to do it on their own.
