You don’t need a 5090, 5080, or even an NVIDIA to run games with very detailed graphics.
This means AAA game developers will need to actually sit back and optimise their games, rather than keep producing badly written code and bloated graphics.
What’s going to be down is the consumer segment at NVIDIA, because it’s not making them the money they’d like it to. Last time I read, the consumer segment was far below 5% of their income.
It’s not a spinoff. It’s the story-based groundwork for Star Citizen. It establishes the setting, and the events for the MMORPG.
It has been crowdfunded by all the contributions that went toward Star Citizen, because it contains all the same game systems and mechanics that the MMORPG will have. Except, for the MMORPG they’ll have to work more just to make sure these mechanics work when additional players are involved (network tech is difficult).
I wish them all the best, because quite frankly it’s the biggest crowdfunded title duo (Sq42 & SC) that we’ve ever had - being more than half of GTA 6 budget.
What is this thread even. Blocking an entire instance, because a single community member annoyed somebody? I mean, sure, go ahead…
ML simply happens to be the instance hosted by the developers of entire Lemmy, so they spend the bare minimum on post moderation, because they have the bigger picture to focus on.
Now the screenshots show that a “mod” took action. A “mod” can be literally anybody appointed by the current mods of a community. Anybody can create a community, just like on Reddit, so this could literal have been anybody. You’ll encounter similar bans on other instances in time as they grow too, because people are free to make sub-rules to their communities, essentially each “mod” having their little dictatorship.
Doubtful to happen, unless an ideological change happens amongst the populace. The government has almost consolidated their power over the US. They’re aiming to stay in power indefinitely.
I’d like to be proven wrong and witness a fair upcoming election, but what can I say.
Committed so far! They’re here to stay, whether the US citizens like it or not.
Unless…
Anybody’s still surprised? After Epstein’s island?
Discord is out there tripping itself over, quietly poking TeamSpeak “hey, maybe you could make a comeback to break our VoIP monopoly?”, meanwhile TS sits it out quietly developing at a snail’s pace.
Then we’ve got Stoat, Fluxer, and what’s not currently the trending obscure alternative (think like Guilded was too). They’re all too obscure, and most of time these apps are unsigned & lack notarisation so their code safety is a matter of “trust me” (a wise person doesn’t install random junk on their PC, regardless of it being FOSS or not - one rogue maintainer is enough to bring risk; unless they’ve gone even half as serious as Debian or other highly reputable FOSS). Adding to their obscurity, I doubt anybody is going to materialise new friends into existence by sheer willpower, will they?
Unless something happens that makes the casual Discorders jump off their platform, these hiccups are largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Yes, they’re serious. No, they still won’t make people ditch Discord - at worst they’ll keep obscure platform XYZ for contacting friend group 1, and still use Discord for their daily communities and acquaintances who don’t keep up with any tech news (like privacy leaks) at all.
That’s just some food for thought, I’m not actually going to debate about what I wrote (no time for such things!) Nevertheless, I sincerely hope Discord flops over, and a bunch of better alternatives appears.
Population decline is fine. It’s the population boom driven by World War II panic that was the oddity instead.
In a matter of time, we might return to population levels from the 17th century, and if we do, then so what? A single individual will become all the more valuable, similar to how European nations valued labour more after the Black Death occurred. History likes to repeat itself, even if not necessarily by events like the plague.
Good change.
Software should not operate at a privileged level “just in case”, but rather have a well-defined functional boundary.
Those in charge are as is often the case incompetent when it comes to actual means of running things.
They impose high taxes to offset the losses caused by their corrupt politics and friends & families appointed to public institutions. In turn, they’re surprised that the general populace have started to get outside of the system by living off grid, having money outside of their circle of influence, etc. The population is starting to become ungovernable.
It never was about any sort of safety.
Space is a neutral zone like the Antarctic. Like they have any right to bring weaponry over there.
Rather than having weaponry to protect Earth against external threats like asteroids, they’d point the weapons inwards to oppress the population of Earth.
This administration should be dismantled as soon as possible. It’s toxic to the world.
This is a bit of an overstatement. Brave has competent software developers - they created their Rust-based content blocker, and kept it as open-source. It’s one of the most powerful blocking mechanisms, often working in places where even the rightfully praised uBlock Origin doesn’t (good examples are in YouTube itself last year when they’ve made a big attempt to stop adblocking by changing the underlying mechanism of how ads are being served in videos).
They were perfectly capable of developing advanced software before AI coding agents were a thing. They’re skilled and delivering.
You can’t earn so much money just to expect the responsibility won’t catch up with you. This one is a social responsibility for the impact caused.
If he wanted a low profile, no risk job, he could always opt to not become an executive in the first place.
AI is an effective tool if used correctly. It doesn’t replace thinking, so handle it with care.
Nobody sane would keep bashing a table with a hammer expecting different results than the table breaking under pressure at some point.
You’re not really losing much of value there, Reddit was set on its enshittification course for years.
Turkey wouldn’t need any help from NATO to take care of the Zionist military. And if they’d get even the slightest help, then it’d be over even quicker.
Regardless of the tool, the person in question has killed an innocent human being. They must face justice like any other would for this misdeed.
These are probably my top three. Recruiters who work in company HR, are usually very moody about who they pick, based on personal preference rather than facts. Sole proprietor recruiters are effective though, that’s why only the in-house ones.
The other two are similar, but they’re the “I work in IT” people who neither possess nor perform the technicalities. Actual imposters (unlike many good folk who do fair work but sometimes suffer from the “imposter syndrome”).
And yes, exceptions happen too. I just dislike these three roles in particular.
I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.
I second that. Frank Klepacki delivered some very good tracks on that title too!
