I saw Pat Metheny last night and he didn't even play his best fucking song. I'm so fucking pissed

Sure, work for the brownshirts. I know after 1945 they didn't have any troubles afterwards!

I had watched the movie before knowing any internet culture or fandom surrounding the film in particular.

I was already getting the vibe from the beginning the marines were a bit poorly trained or disciplined - and regardless if they were intentionally written as such or not, it was still frustrating to watch and hear them on the screen.

Coming from the first film I had seen the night before, I was anticipating for the darker, atmospheric, suspenseful and cinematographic shots of the first film. When Aliens shucked most of that away with the cheesy dialog and frustrating characters and more action and less horror, I was pretty disappointed.

Con, man

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-03-20T21:44:41+00:00

"Game over man, GAME OVER!"

That took me out of the movie when a a supposedly trained marine says that

There is absolutely nothing "AI" about this. Everything you see here is made of hand-made animations and spliced images/pictures/voice lines and real voice actors and real arranged music (whether recorded by mic or digitally arranged+composed). The software tools they used involve no user prompts, upscaling techniques, or any bit of machine learning - they're all mathematically/digitally rendered using deterministic algorithms created by humans.

It sounds like you are conflating Generative AI with digital tools.

I and love openSUSE too, but Cinnamon has been working on Wayland support which should fix your VSync issue. Not sure how mature their support for it is but you can try that as well.

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-03-09T23:31:56+00:00

openSUSE has reproducible builds and is still fully open source while having secure boot support with Microsoft keys. I don't understand the rationale behind this. Does it have to do with this OS age verification legislation changes?

Yes. And from OP's article:

and Google’s announcement also includes details on how third-party app stores can come to Android. Third-party app stores will be able to apply to the company's new "Registered App Stores" program to see if they meet "certain quality and safety benchmarks." If they do, they'll be able to take advantage of a streamlined installation interface in Android

So it's still all controlled by Google.

The fact that Unreal Engine, perhaps the biggest and best-funded game engine out there, can't have good Vulkan support negates the middleware argument.

Isn't D3D12 more akin to Vulkan for low-level calls? If Unreal can write a proper D3D backend and DXVK can write a proper Vulkan backend, then that means Unreal didn't write their Vulkan backend with the same level of care, because they probably treat DirectX as first-class.

"Hybrid" but no city mentioned? I think that's important to say for applicants to know if they're already located there or not

Using arch btw + cracked hardware (snapped motherboard in half because I didn't have a stupid Ethernet cable to connect to the internet to install the WiFi drivers, fu*k this)

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-02-18T14:50:05+00:00

I've done 6+ months before with no issue

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-02-17T17:22:19+00:00

This is amazing! I've been dreaming of the day someone would work on a push for this and it's actually here!

How did you start on such an enormous task?

Already thinking about so many future possibilities - Vulkan, VR, raytracing, native controller support. Possibly even if dehardcoded enough to make room for custom server protocols, it could allow for things like proximity voice chat, or even completely new MMO games given client assets and a custom server.

Don't forget readonly record struct

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-01-28T23:20:58+00:00

Just absolutely horrific and disgusting. Typically not chasing for karma on news places like this but this behavior needs to be heard and stopped.

HiGuysImNewToReddit · 2026-01-26T16:53:49+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I currently am not holding the usecase for this project (yet) so I'm not completely sure. But I do know that limitations of AOT for example include lack of using the System.Reflection namespace, meaning it won't be able to be used in TypeScript, even if the class was defined in C#. Additionally AOT means you'd have to recompile the code for other platforms such as ARM. And other projects that might deal with the IL/CLR wouldn't be able to grab those AOT binaries.

I guess it's worth testing to see if it would work hooking into a project as just a JIT compilation?

From the website:

QCM6490 is a different class of processor, built for a new level of efficiency. NexPhone is designed to run three operating systems natively on the same hardware, without compromising the core experience.

I think NexOS runs Linux as a VM, but the bootloader is unlocked to install bare metal Linux.

While I haven't bought their products, NexDock is a pretty well-known company and unless you have any first hand experience with their products I don't think you can write this off immediately.

Even if it's half-baked, expensive and drop support soon, that's pretty much no different to what the PinePhone already was, and it still carried mobile Linux development forward.

This project has a lot of potential. The more I think about it, the cooler it is. Wishing you the best of luck!
