China is on nobody’s side but China’s. They will support any schmuck that preaches “anti-western” slopaganda because it strengthens their position. The second that changes - they will drop them like a wet piece of toilet paper.

While this is also that I miss being able to tinker with “natively” with Nvidia, you can upgrade FSR with PROTON_FSR4_UPGRADE, same with PROTON_DLSS_UPGRADE, limit FPS with either DXVK_FRAME_RATE or something else like mangohud, and ReShade does exist on Linux, you just load it differently, same with stuff like Lossless Scaling. I don’t know what kind of optimizations you use from AMD, but on Nvidia it’s literally just preconfigured graphics settings. Anticheats are shit from a butt, yeah.

Monster cans haven’t been in the game for a while now, because the deal expired.

Meh, I’m not a fan of his stance, it’s the most centrist “I’m not taking any sides, but” nonsense ever. Also don’t like how he calls it “some kind of “social warrior” project”, what is this - 2014? Grow a pair and have an actual opinion - you couldn’t care less about the greater implications of slop machines being used for “good reasons”, because it helps you advance your codebase. Not like we can do anything about it, “fork it” my ass lol, we are not about to have 2 Linux kernels for 200 Linux distros during the time when MS is pulling their slop machine dance moves as well.

They promised show support years ago but for some reason people were really insistent that LB should remain movie only.

Apparently that was satire, but yeah my impression was that someone was trying to scalp physical copies.

Considering there’s that guy who spent his 401k on GTA 6 copies not realizing there’s no disk, they are more than correct in that assessment.

You know how the maga crowd is saying that it’s all just temporary hardship that they must endure for a brighter future? Apply that x999 to russians. As long as they don’t have to accept 2 men holding hands in public, they will bend over for pineapples up their asses and claim that it’s actually more comfortable to walk that way anyway.

There won’t be a nuke, that’s just fearmongering. There will also be no revolt of any kind, the vast majority of russians are ok with the war, they want it to end but only in their favour, because they are always given somebody to fuck over beneath them - ethnic minorities, queer people, ukranians, etc. For a revolt they would genuinely have to start starving (which I highly doubt would be allowed to happen) and even then it would be a revolt against an incompetent war monger dictator, not against the dictatorship and war as a whole. The military would most likely seize the control of the country and we would have Myanmar 2.0. It is somewhat of a collapse, especially if some municipalities decide to go rogue, more so chechnya than any others, but the country itself would most likely just remain in an extremely poor as-is state with crime through the roof like what they had in the 90s, if not worse.

Never heard of IPV6 affecting what websites can and can’t do, sounds wrong to me.

How to get it depends entirely on your ISP. Some ISPs provide 4 and 6, one or the other being the default, some ISPs don’t have 6 at all. If your ISP already provides it then first you would need a compatible router, Windows should adjust automatically.

With the price of Noctua fans you might as well just get another 980 or any other budget/old GPU that’s even better. Some old hardware is simply not worth repairing, especially when software support is also non existent at this point.

I really wish there was some sort of rule that stated that if your proposal failed it gets blacklisted for the next 10 years, regardless of the framing of the proposal.

If by chug along you mean just live and allow you to browse and play some light 2D games - yeah, probably. For anything else bad news for you, not even Nvidia is going to update drivers for it anymore. I survived on 980 for over 10 years until the fan bearings died.

And the dumbass will still boast about it like it’s the greatest achievement of the century, also please please please give Nobel peace prize pretty please

Still don’t understand wtf do you want people to do with Tor if Tor itself gets blocked (yes, their obfuscation methods are also very trivial to block), not to mention the reality of some countries not allowing any cross border traffic.

You didn’t come up with the name and it’s perfectly realistic to imagine more than 1 person coming up with a similar idea based on the same concept. Even if someone “stole” your idea - do it better than them and you’ll have nothing to worry about. I’d be more understanding of your concern if a big AAA studio happened to make this release so close to yours, but even then not much you can do due to aforementioned reasons. And while Steam lets you use any name you want, even if it’s already taken, it will put your game first on the search list if more people interact with it, which will naturally happen if your game is good.

Slop detectors might as well be random number generators, it will never give you 0% because it’s slop in and of itself.

Quite literally the plot of Altered Carbon

If you observed anything the right wingers did in the last few years, you’d know they already are doing that themselves. Vance literally wore his South Park baby face photoshop for Halloween. They are perfectly ok with everything you listed, in fact they believe it’s a huge own that it bothers you and they get away with it. Trump said he could shoot anyone in the middle of the street and not lose any votes the first time around, this time he could literally nuke the US and still keep his voters.

Unless there’s also a flawless system that can decide what is and isn’t AI generated, it will just be used to shut down anything anti government, while keeping pro government slop up. The way EU did it sounds better, but could still be abused in the same manner - just take down anything the government doesn’t like and say it was because they didn’t label it as AI generated, have fun going through the court system trying to prove it wasn’t.
