Honestly shitting himself in front of cameras is the least of our problems.

Ah yes, makes sense. Well overall if there is a lot of text it’s tiring anyway. Maybe if you are already familiar with the content skimming is OK.

Probably a SteamVR bug, might want to check https://wiki.vronlinux.org/ there might some useful hints. I encountered few hiccups but so far nothing from preventing me to play.

I didn’t suggest they are exactly the same. Since I don’t have a benchmark, can you please clarify for example which popular game would be playable with one but not with the other? That would help the rest of us better grasp how very different it will be.

FWIW I have a SteamDeck so you could also use that as a metric if that’s useful.

My point isn’t the availability of settings as a meaningful information but rather if somebody did change a setting, or not. If somebody changes a default setting, or a default OS, they are radically more likely to be a power user.

Very finicky but feasible. Yes I imagine once the Frame is out that’ll be a lot more convenient and reliable.

Wondering how it’d benchmark against https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-Nano-Pro-Gen14-AMD.tuxedo in an even smaller form factor and similar price range for specs.

Yes… it’s like default settings. The very action of changing a setting on any devices means you are a “power user”. You made a conscious decision on how the device should behave and you suspect it can be done. Meanwhile the vast majority of users do not even consider this a possibility.

Windows users are not using a computer, they are doing another task that happens to required a machine, they don’t learn about what it is, how it works, how it can be modified.

IMHO it was perfectly in the 70s when there was no laptop, desktop, mobile phone, mobile data. Now that one needs to use such infrastructure to interact with others, vote, pay bills, get access to culture, etc then I do believe computer literacy is not optional anymore.

That’s not what they said. Free software can be paid for, either via users or via subsidies. Nobody in this thread suggested that developers starve.

To be pragmatic here are ways free software can be monetized :

• get a salary from a company or institution that relies on free software
• ask for donations via e.g. https://liberapay.com/ or Patreon or OpenCollective
• get money per project via CrowdFunding platforms e.g. KickStarter or for hardware https://www.crowdsupply.com/
• get subsidies directly, e.g. NLNet (International, no need to be European), or https://www.sovereign.tech/programs/fund or by being part of a consortium, e.g. public/private partnerships on a theme e.g. https://www.ciiic.nl/en/calls/learning-communities

I professionally do both, namely I get paid to develop free software but I also pay free software developers, e.g. https://gcompris.net/ via their https://www.patreon.com/animtim . I also until recently worked in a public institution and was paid to write free software.

I think it is important not to conflate free software with free of cost and indeed free of production. Free software developers, like me, need to pay their bills but that does NOT have to be opposed to your freedom in using and modifying that software. By implying a false dichotomy by software being either proprietary or funded somehow you are in fact sadly promoting proprietary software, please do not do that.

I just want to play No Man’s Sky on linux VR.

Should work already https://www.protondb.com/app/275850 if you have a Valve Index and a good gaming Linux desktop.

Corruption in play sight, terrifying symbolism for all to see. Washington is more transparent that people think.

Good thing movements reclaiming streets back for citizens already exist. In fact even businesses who initially opposed this actually realize it’s better for them too.

Looks at photos of Amsterdam and Paris just decades ago. It’s like smoking in planes.

We as a society try, fail, learn, and overcome BS.

Indeed, classic. AI isn’t good enough for THEIR domain, their expertise, but for stuff they know NOTHING about it’s somehow OK. Total lack of introspection and Dunning-Kruger effect.

Ugh, people with those pesky facts, very inconvenient! /s

I bet someone from HN is already “generating” that brilliant idea thanks to their SOTA meta-harness right now using Claude Fable. Or something.

home automation server that doesn’t connect to the internet?

Well if uses wireless connectivity with either range broader than your place or is connected to a device that is itself online it can still be a risk. Sure it’s very VERY specific but scanning techniques also improve.

I agree… but beside the point I have access to a dedicated workshop and a tool library https://www.tournevie.be/ which challenges this whole setup. It’s relatively unique though, unfortunately, so your example still stands, thanks for sharing.

Yep. That’s exactly why I tend to never discuss “AI” with people who don’t have to actually have a PhD in the domain, or at least a degree in CS. It’s nothing against them specifically, it’s only that they are dangerously repeating what they heard during marketing presentations with no ability to criticize it and, in such cases, it can be quite dangerous.

TL;DR: people who could benefit from it don’t need it, people who would shouldn’t.

Mostly because the model is incapable

There, fixed that for you.

That’s their question too, why the hell did Google makes this the default, as opposed to limiting it to the project directory.
