Good news! On the firmware side there is some serius work being done to support it!

https://www.basicinputoutput.com/2025/01/amd-opensil.html?m=1 is AMDs work to opensource hardware intialzation

https://opensourcefirmware.foundation/projects/ Has a good list of mostly BIOS/UEFI replacements.

Idk about memory, Usb, sata or PCIe controllers though. (something else?)

Anyone make a tool to auto claim free games, download, and seed games yet?

For real GOG supports actual game ownership. Steam supports game flexiabilty of OS with all their linux support (and now arm!). I Patron/Librepay indies/foss devs. EGS’s biggest proclaimed difference is that offer less to devs/customera and offer big studios better margins.

Like why the hell would this convince me?

That makes sense. They’re requiring custom signed boots that only boot to their audited OSs for esports?

oh no, its the fucking useless default keys that can boot fucking anything because shims and Wincrap are signed by it. Just alienating folks that don’t want to deal with that crap. Morons, i swear.

The dog was supposed to be so much more in fable.

Spore was supposed to have simulated physics for the creature phases…

I am glad the Thrive community has some torch bearers still pushing for it.

Listen I love Value over all, a flat org of engineers with a lot of notable contribtion to opensource and gaming on linux in general, but there price fixing agreement for devs is kind of assholy.

Not to mention inertia from studio rep. I’d buy Bethesda hotdog water at some points for those studio. Now they could promise me head from a talented hooker with a clean record and I’d still probally pass cause Id probally just end 39 hours sore, blueballed, and being asked for the next payment.

Captcha or gacha?

Betty Boop grand stratagy game when?

Does this imply it would be better to pool extra resources for a super node versus those same people beefing up their individual nodes the same amount? At least to some level of dimmishing returns of course

Some people drink Pepsi some people drink Coke, but that wacky morning DJ says democracies a joke.

I hate the cynicism though tbh. If it wasnt for “intellectual property” this bullshit wouldn’t matter nearly as much.

Oh I guess I meant the open KDE Plasma Desktop Env. I would think it’s grub bootloader with Arch base again so I would expect other distros to load.

I could be wrong, but it would to more work to make it not work tbh

They did put a desktop is on the VR headset, right?

Do I want EA to keep making garbage and dark patterns in game? No. Do I want them chopped up in box or one the other attrocities attributed to their new owner? Also, more emphatically no.

*were and too many of them still are too pro fascism.

Some are actively fighting it and those are they people I back. They call themselves Democrats, Libertarians, etc etc etc and they are out there marching, they are blockading, they are boycotting, etc etc etc

The resistance is the Democrats, The Libertarians, The Green Party, The DSA, and non partied people that oppose the civil rights abuses and unconstitutional acts.

With the combination of indefinite detainment based on race alone being upheld in court and the administration chooses to ignore the courts and sending people to prisons with no due process proving they broke any laws, its an unconditional ethicnic cleansing, not an enforcement of any border laws.

The opensource engine behind it is really cool. The paint by numbers art used for it is unfortunate

Standards address this issue. Set them, adhere to them, have a mechanism to adjust them or create new ones when absolutely needed

Honestly effenciy, more hardware options and federated are the only real AI advancements that makes huge waves to me. Like getting a reasonable output out of a hundreds of billion dollar DC just isn’t as cool as: your PC, phone, toaster can now do xyz or contribute to xyz

End to end really depends on which end to which end is being connected.

Butt seriously I WANT THIS, I want poop analysis, I want fecal spectrometry. I do not want it to be a god damn enshitifued from the drop app and crapware has to have big “We aren’t recording you TRUST US” stuck to it.

Honestly datacenters almost always benifit from being data sources, which mostly means population centers.

There is almost the cost of networking even if latency isnt a concern. There is just more line of sight with sats and fiber connection near existing places vs far off places.

“free”

Phamsmophobia

Just my friend and girlfriend into it. Theyve added a lot of tools, ghost types, and cursed objects since i lastnplayed

Honestly I was excited about o3de and still follow it from time to time, but the project feels so industrial versus Godots work

Maybe with CXL or infinityfabric that won’t matter as much.

Don’t know what they’re support looks like on the consumer side though

Of course! It’s what got me started!

I love it as a concept, and frankly a dual boot installer (create partitions) that worked from Windows would be pretty useful I think. USB/disk installs add complexity that just hurt the chances.

Oh in his manifesto he describes his mother’s slow and painful death caused by their insurance denying claims, and delaying or preventing treatment.

For real like sure it’s not hearing his mother die in pain because insurance companies and experience the same pain himself, it’s gotta be amoung us that led him to commit murder

Made in game I believe

Exactly I fully expect Russia to continue cutting edge early 2000s os development

Cracks for Denevo games tend to run better from what I hear

Honestly. For one the US is huge. Its like saying “living in Europe” as a shared common experience, two because of our news stations sensationalist stories are blasted 24/7 and on repeat.

The day to day life isn’t THAT crazy. No one I know personally had any personal experience with gun violence at school. 0. Out of about 100 people.

Its still tragic that any kid has experienced violence in school. 1 is too many. Its just not the daily lived experience of most Americans.

I love Morriwinds memory, but the gameplay was so rough to try to get back into.

One reason I mentioned the steam decks FSR feature. Which is a really cool example of this to me. Of wise spread automatic modding making every game that can run on the system potentially better with no additional effort from the dev.

You also have less ability to mod the games so you lose out on some of those features. For example doing is level FSR like the steam deck.

Capitalist want more capital.

They need NEW IP so that they can be made unburdened by the past experiences of a game industry that respected players even a little.

I mean come on a blood Bourne live service gatcha game would be ridiculed, so need a new IP with its own hype for a live service gatcha game.

I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.

Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.

Civ 7: “No more turns” living up to the name

Firaxis’ big swing: End of Civilization

“No more turns”

I still want the spore game he promised. I want the version of fable 3 he promised.

Maybe just go back and finish a game dude
