It’s able to apply those things because it’s read millions of sci-fi stories, and can make an educated guess. It’s also able to produce an image od an astronaut on a horse because it’s seen lots of images of astronauts and horses, and people sitting on horses, so it can once again make an educated guess. I don’t think it’s right to call that creativity.

Fine, but I’m still not happy about ‘performant’

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I would probably say fast, efficient, high-performance, or optimal, depending on context. Or just “it performs well”. But I recognise I’m in the vast minority - just one of those new words that bugs me now but I’ll eventually accept

I will just say that I don’t think Steam et al. are equivalent to logging onto your device. The account I use on my computer is… just that, a local account for my computer. So, if the Quest requires some sort of authentication, why can’t it be local too?

I have the same argument with consoles as well, but at least with the Xbox One, login still isn’t required unless you’re playing digital games. You can play all the disc games you like without any account.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No no, I was saying the account for my computer is local only. Steam, being a separate application, makes sense to have a separate login.

And I don’t remember anything differently… I don’t really have a horse in this race, just playing devil’s advocate.

How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer (fossforce.com)

It’s become clear to many that Red Hat’s recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it’s fallen from its respected place as “the open organization.” SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat’s errors. We connect the dots.

For some, that’s a benefit

So am I stealing from my employer because I earn more than the cost of my bills?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

But where do you draw the line? Don’t get me wrong, I am against the idea of, as you say, “excessive wealth extraction”. But what classes as excessive? If I ran an independent Etsy shop making cards, and I had an 80% profit margin, is that stealing?

I should also like to point out:

I define all excessive profit as stealing.

All profit is excessive by nature, isn’t it?

I’m not sure the NES was affordable per se. On release, it cost about $500 in today’s money. And then you had to buy games at extra cost. In a world where you could go to an arcade with your pocket money and have a decent amount of fun, I don’t think it was a great value proposition in the eyes of many.

Apologies for being out of the loop, but… queue? Isn’t it single-player? Or were they throttling downloads?

What makes it unsuitable?

Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now (www.eurogamer.net)

This really does not sound healthy. The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it....

Not at all. Just because a CRT is inherently fuzzy, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a nice sharp source image.

It’s a very old meme… and not especially applicable here

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There have been two distinct Windows updates in recent memory that have broken things.

  1. The one that stopped network printers from working, and you had to change a specific GPO setting which was not available in Intune at the time, meaning I had to do it manually on each computer.
  2. The one that removed all shortcuts to Office 365 apps from the desktop and start menu, necessitating a repair… manually on each affected machine.

So it does happen on occasion. It’s not as bad as in the XP days, but it still can be a little sketchy at times

This was before proactive remediations were a thing. Script probably would’ve worked, although I find them a bit vague as to how they work

I’m a big fan of the 8bitdo Ultimate C, but my favourite may well be the GameCube controller

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Not really, I just think it’s the best controller. Ergonomic shape, octagonal stick gate (which is a criminally underused feature), good button layout… the only thing wrong with it is that the analogue triggers have a bit too much travel on them.

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I know the topic isn’t about HR, but as a huge fan of that game, I recently replayed the non-DC version and found myself really appreciating the yellow tint. It ties the aesthetic together, and the DC always looked a bit flat and unfinished without it. But that’s just me.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

“Jank and unfinished” sounds like it fits the immersive sim MO to me! (I mean this with the utmost respect)

How many headphone jacks do you see today? All it takes is one big player, and adoption can fall just like that.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

But adoption has fallen so significantly that you have to rely on listicles to find what you’re looking for. The same could very easily and quickly happen with optical discs, and if I may be afforded an anecdote, I’ve seen exactly one optical disc brand in the last decade (Verbatim). And that’s when shops have them available, which is extremely rare nowadays.

They might not go away completely, but just like with headphone jacks on phones, you’ll have to scrounge for them. Same with if you want a display that’s less than 6", or a physical keyboard. (Or a floppy disk…!)

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....
