This is your second warning to not break our CoC (3.2).

A third warning will result in a temporary ban from programming.dev.

Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

There’s way more to a game’s look than textures though. Arguably ray tracing will have a greater impact than textures. Not to mention, for retro games, you could just generate the textures beforehand, no need to do it in real time.

I’m pretty sure it’s generating racially diverse nazis due to companies tinkering with the prompts under the hood to counterweight biases in the training data. A naive implementation of generative AI wouldn’t output black or Asian nazis.

it doesn’t have EQ or sociological knowledge.

It sort of does (in a poor way), but they call it bias and tries to dampen it.

And if Google went nuclear and starts embedding the ad into the videos themselves?

Kaedrin mod manager, runcher, Prop Joe’s manager and a deprecated one by a user on the modding discord. We got plenty of mod managers in development but nothing as developed as vortex.

Vortex allows for profiles, configuration during installation, easy install for central “mods”, very visible mod version, etc…

I’m sure runcher/Frodo’s new mod manager will get there, but my point is vortex got everything a user and a modder may want for that game.

Also, I’m not sure if Kaedrin is actively developing his mod manager, he doesn’t seem very active on the discord.

What’s the problem with vortex? As a modder for total war, I dream about the day total war would get a mod launcher like that.

What issues are you encountering on android Firefox? I’ve used Firefox + ublock for years and I don’t think I have ever encountered an issue that was fixed by using chrome instead.

Downloads and Documents starting with a capital letter is my biggest pet peeve with Ubuntu. It makes it a lot more annoying to navigate through them than if it was all lower case.

I have no idea how to install all the different program types (flathub, db, appimage, etc.). Windows has exe. I click “install” and boom, it’s done.

That’s strange, I’ve always felt that installing stuff is a lot easier on Ubuntu than windows. It’s just apt install <program> and apt remove <program>. Having to manually download and run an exe feels outdated in comparison.

I can’t even select a file because there are no previews. Just a gazillion blue squares with names like “dlcosn_3947912947”.

Curious what distro you installed that had that issue. The only preview issue I’ve encountered was on win10 where I had to pay for windows to support H.265 to give me previews of H.265 files.

Things are constantly breaking. When they do I look up support articles that are written in fucking Klingon and sent to the terminal to type in commands that always return some sort of generic error “command not found” or some shit because the solution is written for a different one of the 862700422 available distros.

That’s a fair point though. If you aren’t willing (and most aren’t) to learn enough to be comfortable with the terminal, it can be very easy break something when you are forced to interact with the terminal.

I don’t see any compelling arguments to migrate away from GitHun honestly. MS seems to managing the service quite well.

How exactly would a federated forge guarantee the safety of your repo? With GitHub/MS you can be relatively confident that your private repos won’t be leaked or that your repos won’t dissappear due to server/backup issues.

Its massive user base is also conductive in getting other people to contribute to your project.

And if the safety of your repo and/or community size doesn’t matter, why bother all that much where it’s hosted, might as well run git locally.

And I’m saying all this as someone who migrated a few years back to GitLab due to it having a better offering for my specific needs. I personally also think their website is far superior to GitHub’s messy design, but that’s certainly not a compelling reason for someone to migrate either.

The owner is retiring and seems to want to shut down the business. Their latest power supplies are only given 3 years warranty despite the standard being 10 years.

These news doesn’t come as no surprise unfortunately.
