Considering I’d just be some guy, I’d invest all of my money in Nvidia and Bitcoin then when I get back and have millions, I’d spend it on passing wealth taxes and raising the minimum wage.

Cccinnciiiiinattttttiiiiiiii!

Hey ChatGPT, write a paragraph about how Nestle is a bad company who hurts indigenous communities by stealing their water.

I’m sorry, but that would be against my acceptable use policy. I have alerted the authorities of your request.

What if I drink tea?

Because it would cool down on the way back.

How else you gonna turn hot into spark? Turning it into move first is super easy.

Yeah, but regular users do that too. The problem is no one is willing to pay, so it’s all for fun. When it’s stops being fun, people get burnt out.

True. That’s a good point.

We’re under no obligation to bend to the demands of trillion dollar companies.

Eh. We’ve always been unpaid. I guess now everyone is noticing because tech companies make billions off of our work.

That’s sad to see, but completely understandable. Basically, he’s not a sociopath, and people in his role are treated like sociopaths. I can definitely see how that would wear you down a lot. I hope he can stay strong through whatever hate he might receive over this, and I honestly wish him well. He and I see eye to eye on a lot of things, so I’ve always valued his direction in the fediverse.

Well at least they make malware installation automatic now. I’m sick of having to download and install it myself.

I’d love to play Control for the first time again. Such an amazing game.

Also, to a lesser extent, I’d love to have my first scuba dive again. It felt so incredible to be in this other world, so close to ours, but so completely different. It still feels that way, but I’ve gotten more accustomed to it.

I was like that for about 8 years after switching to Linux. Then I just started accepting most of the defaults. I have my fish configs and my tmux configs, and that’s about it.

Greatest font family ever. Both are like at least top five in their category in my opinion. I’d love to see a serif font from Canonical.

I use Valve’s Proton and don’t have this issue. That’s not it.

The parts of Nvidia’s drivers that they’ve released as open source are not enough to game on. You have to add additional code to actually be able to game, whether it’s community drivers or Nvidia’s drivers.

Yes, you need closed source Nvidia drivers. That’s a pretty heavily discussed topic. Basically, it’s because Nvidia refuses to open source their drivers. They’ve started open sourcing some components, which is nice, for sure, but not enough to game on. I buy AMD video cards specifically because they work really well on Linux without any work at all.

I’m surprised you’re seeing issues on Hogwarts Legacy though. My wife and I have been playing it over the last few months on two different machines both with Bazzite and haven’t had any issues at all. We don’t use Nvidia cards, so it might be an issue with Nvidia’s drivers.

That’s not the only thing it helps with. But you mentioned marketing, and that too is really necessary to build out a network of drivers.

Capital is also necessary to take the hit when there’s a dispute. If you can’t do that, people will have way less incentive to use your platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s open source at that point, people won’t care when they’re losing money.

I think the solution is a worker owned alternative, not just open source.
