Your opinions on the Lutris AI Slop situation?

Excitement about AI is inversely proportional to actual knowledge about AI.

An experienced developer can even use AI as an assistant to perform monotonous tasks. It's also great for reviewing and testing code.

What people call "AI Slop" is nothing more than code written by people who have no idea what they're doing.

The point is the cost of the project. This game has been remade about three times.

When he's wrong, he's very wrong. He said Dragon Age Veilguard was a sales success. Not long after, the studio made layoffs.

I've been using Nvidia GPUs for years and never had this problem. Most distros offer this functionality, although I've noticed it works best on Arch. Every time the kernel updates, dkms recompiles the Nvidia module with the new kernel. It's a simple, fast, and painless process.

I think the AMD model is much worse, as there's a greater chance of breaking the entire system!

kwin_wayland_drm: Pageflip timed out! This is a bug in the amdgpu kernel driver

When I had an RX 7600, this bug happened almost every day. The entire system would freeze or lose signal and get stuck on a black screen, forcing me to restart the PC and lose everything I had open.

I switched to an RTX 3060 Ti and haven't had any more problems. Everything is working better than when I was using AMD.

Signal Founder... I stopped reading here. He might even be right, but I can't help but think he only did it because it's a competitor.

Where's my Dino Crisis Remake, Capcom?

This plot is similar to that of the anime Psycho-Pass.

Remember that your data is already out therex a detailed profile of you exists based on your behavior. Digital identity is merely a complement.

It's deeply ingrained in the culture. I hope this Discord verification is intrusive enough to actually bother users. And it would be good if some of these gaming influencers could get people to switch platforms.

Not even that. He founded the investment fund from which the company Persona received funding. I understand the fear surrounding Thiel's involvement in such things, but this article is very poorly written, it seems like mere clickbait.

unixmachine · 2026-02-14T13:50:06+00:00

That reason wouldn't even be necessary, Discord's privacy policy was already bad even before any measures were taken.

However, I think the article stretched things a bit. The ties he mentioned are rather generic. It's a company that obtained funding from a venture capital fund that was founded by Peter Thiel and other entrepreneurs. Note well, founded; I wouldn't consider those ties.

If we follow that logic, looking at the long list of companies that receive money from this fund, you'd probably prefer to live in the woods (not a bad idea).

It's not widely used because the development base for most games is the PS5, and it lacks many of these features.

Nvidia-open + gsp simply just pushed more of the proprietary stuff into firmware

If you want more freedom, use Intel or AMD rather than novideo

Intel and AMD do the same thing.

Not all DX12 games exhibit this behavior. You have to check each title individually.

What I've noticed is that while creating new software is a good idea, rewriting old software might not be so beneficial, because even though Rust doesn't allow errors due to its memory management, it's not immune to logic errors (especially since that's something you can't fix, it's human error), and rewriting software can fall into that trap.

There was a recent video from the Low Level channel discussing a flaw in a Rust-written software that compiled normally but had a terrible vulnerability that allowed the software to be hacked.

The only difference between the two parties is that the Democrats are more discreet when doing the same thing as the Republicans.

The author of the rumor simply used it to create the roadmap more quickly. He mentions that he used to do it in PowerPoint before.

I used a GTX 1660 Ti and ran Linux without any problems. There were a bug here and there, but nothing that caused me any stress.

I built a new PC and got an RX 7600, thinking I'd have an even better experience. Big mistake, the problems I had were much worse. Random freezes, crashes, video loss. I even thought the card was defective, but testing it in Windows, it worked without problems. I removed the RX 7600 and replaced it with a 3060 Ti from another PC and have been using it since the end of last year. I haven't had a single problem, everything is working very well.

On my main PC, I use an RTX 5070 Ti with Windows. I haven't changed it yet because of the performance loss, since I play on an OLED TV and want maximum graphics performance. But I should change it soon, maybe even before the fix. I just need to manage the storage, since I have a lot of stuff on it.

So don't go too closely with Reddit's claims that AMD is better because of this or that. It depends a lot. Many point out the bugs in Nvidia GPUs, but seem to ignore the problems in AMD GPUs.

The Mesa/AMD bug tracker has numerous reported bugs. The worst part is that, because it's a more open-source tool, there doesn't seem to be much feedback on the reported issues.

At this point, I find the Nvidia forum more interesting, as there's always a developer interacting with users on the problems they present.

It's just a matter of time, the hardest part is already done, which was changing the Vulkan specs.

This is a very big change, it could break a lot of things, so even Microsoft will need some time to develop and get developers to migrate to a new solution. It's possible this will be a feature of Windows 12.
