I doubt Valve would back of from the openness
Not on the short term, but who knows. If SteamOS becomes a major player in the PC space, at a post-GabeN Valve–
But that will take many more years, if ever it does happen. I do think it is a legitimate reason to be somewhat cautious.
Maybe. As it stands Valve is rather open with their implementation, but who’s to say it will remain indefinitely so.
I do get the desire, though. I’ve gone to Bazzite and Fedora and – even though it’s a lot better than just a year ago – it still requires some commandline tweaking. It isn’t entirely smooth sailing yet.
Will SteamOS be? I do have some doubts.
Those companies aren’t exactly releasing consumer-facing distro’s, though.
If you want to play just controller games, this one is probably overkill and maybe a bit bulky. I guess the HD haptics are neat.
Then again, it likely won’t be any more expensive than the scam amount of money microsoft charges for their basic, non-HAL effect, non-gyro, basic haptics controllers.
They’d certainly have fewer.
I shall make a donation once again
The CEO of brave, Brendan Eich, is opposed to same-sex marriage.
They, too, are working on their own index, but I cannot support that company and would suggest you seek alternatives.
And, though Ecosia/DDG don’t always show what I want, it’s very easy to add a !g to my already existing query and get put through to google. Which is rare, mind you, but comes in handy every so often. Does that mean it sometimes takes a *bit* of effort to get the result I’m after? Yeah, but that is a sacrifice I’m happy to make when it comes to supporting alternatives.
This blacklist is a pretty neat way to block a good amount of those AI slop results.
I think you missed a part of their comment:
Block ads and use a different search engine?
Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo have served me pretty well. Kagi also seems somewhat interesting.
Ecosia is working with Qwant on their own index, the first version of which has already gone online I believe. So they’re no longer exclusively relying on Bing/Google for their back-end.
Search engines will still give Wikipedia results at the top for relevant searches. Heck, you can search Wikipedia itself directly!
Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo support some form of “bangs”, if I tack !w onto my search it’ll immediate go through to Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo has even introduced an AI image filter, which is not perfect but still pretty good.
It’s because during (boasting?) exaggerated claims are often made, so it’s totally fiiiine and legal!
Consumer protection is such a sham.
I don’t think their recent drop is because of that video. Just personally curious, whether I should try to watch again as I did enjoy some of their output.
But if Nick leaves it unaddressed I guess I won’t.
Clean your URL’s, please.
I stopped watching Second Wind after Frost’s video.
Did they ever address it?
That’s from way back when. They shut production for a week, reassessed how they make things, and came back with the promise to be more thorough and not release a video when it’s just not done that day. And they have “missed” some days since.
They’ve got to keep their profit margins, or the CEO’s and shareholders might need to take a paycut.
That does actually export all my tags. To some sort of weird csv-like format, but they sure are exported. Will have to look into the import format if/when I decide on a new service. Thanks again for the tip.
Samsung has a Smart Switch client which you can just install on your PC, so that’s convenient.
To be clear, OCR isn’t out of scope for Immich and we do plan to implement it. It just isn’t part of our pre-stable roadmap, so other things take priority for now. We’ll work on OCR after the stable release.

Something to hold out for
Neat, definitely something to look into
I have a reasonable amount of faith in Valve. I think their rising tide lifts Linux as a whole, so that’s good.
