I don’t think I’ve had one in twenty years and I just got the taste in my mouth reading your comment.

Thanks.

This is the first I’m hearing about models trained on real CSAM.

FOSS, WINE, and reducing tech clutter.

It’s not perfect, but this is the Life of open source and proprietary software.

Linux is so approachable now, I don’t see a reason not to make a full dive.

Yes. In the same way that “Master” and “Slave” have been replaced for racist engineering terminology, “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” are replaced with “Allowlist” and “Blocklist”.

Amazon Prime shows begin to be pirated by Amazon Prime Subscribers, until the end of the billing ear when they are no longer Prime Subscribers.

Free Open Source Software.

Edit: there is also FLOSS which adds the French “Libre” to include “free as in speech”.

Am at the point in life when people start considering kids, and then I see shit like this…

I actually would recommend learning a hypervisor.

Not first. For sure. But before you want to do anything serious.

Proxmox made learning home service hosting so much easier and faster to unfuck.

I’ve been dabbling with Linux for 30 years and it’s only in the last few that it really clicked. I needed a project.

Go start a home server and give yourself projects to work on. Makes Linux very fast to pick up.

Because real manufacturing draws scrutiny, and these companies are audited regularly enough to make licensing fees palletable.

Looks warm, well protected and generous.

When ARMA Reforger released it was chaos, with 95% of the people hopelessly lost at all times. It’s because the game gave you a map, a compass, and nothing else for navigation. Best. Immersion. Ever.

Always on instant GPS with augmented reality waypoints between abstract objectives is what kills player immersion (and developer creativity). If I can just follow an arrow from point to point and complete a game: it wasn’t worth making the game.
