I got app-emulation/proton-ge-custom-bin from the kzd overlay. The overlay is in the eselect repository list.

It’s Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.

Yeah, Gentoo isn’t exactly an out-of-the-box gaming distro. But having all the gaming stuff (including GE Proton and Steam) managed by Portage is pretty neat.
And don’t worry: When you are done hopping, Gentoo will always be there to accept you back without any judgment. It’s all about choice after all…

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.

It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn’t that good. When you don’t properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you’ve ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

Sounds just like the usual crazy to me. Better stay away. It’s not worth it if you aren’t also crazy yourself.

Nah, Linux isn’t made by Apple.

Distros basically are OSes. You get some choices of kernel with some choices of userland and some choices of desktop environment. Additionally, you get some update mechanism and optionally some customized looks, tools, and/or sets of settings. That’s all what an OS really is.

To be fair, I did recommend Window 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7 to random people. It somehow stopped.
I play on Gentoo, btw.

The owner of Valve and therefore Steam.
Steam is a typical middle man business taking 30% (unsuccessful games) to 20% (extremely successful games) from the overwhelming majority of all PC game purchases.
Not selling on Steam is basically financial suicide for game devs because Steam is a quasi monopoly. Most PC gamers only buy there (rather than on a dev’s own site, GOG, Itch or anywhere else). So game devs pay the Gabe toll - just like almost all phone app devs pay the Apple and Google tolls.

Big media calling her a communist is all it needs to destroy a candidate in Murica.

Computing was never as great as it is now. Never before did we have so much free open source software at such a high level of quality to use and tinker with. Never before was it this easy to find help for the most obscure problems. Never before was playing on Linux a viable option.

But online and offline social networking really got enshittified a lot. 3rd spaces online like offline are fully commercialized. Online, everything is remembered and if it can be used against you, it will be used against you either by the government or some rando just because they can.
But you can use a VPN and as many pseudonyms as you need to properly separate your community-specific personas. And if you live in a city of religious fanatics, the internet also is a great to find like-minded people. There are communities for everything.

Nothing wrong with “vibe coding”, “prompting”, “generating” or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something.

If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it’s AI slop.

“Observation” or “measurement” actually means interaction. We literally can’t measure anything without interacting with it. If you place something at the slits which is able to detect a photon going through, it can only do so by interacting with it.

The common way seems to be that the passing particle induces a tiny electric current in a wire loop. Obviously, that takes energy away from the particle (that energy is now in the movement of one or more electrons in the wire). And that means, its wave function in that very moment is one locational probability of 1 - it is collapsed.

Grats.

I don’t watch movies or series often anymore. But when I do, I just go through the streaming sites section in the r/Piracy megathread until I find what I search for on one of them. Most of them let you search for a specific title or prefix. Some mimic the Netflix browsing experience. Some also have a download button for offline-watching. If it’s out for a while and has some mainstream appeal, you will probably find it on one of these.

When the slow moon passes the lion’s third claw, And the basin of Venus is drained of its tear, The great vessel of men shall split without war, Not by fire, but by silence, shall vanish their fear.

I am honestly surprised, paid video on demand even survived the post-Netflix fragmentation. YouTube is free. uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock make it usable. Illegal streaming sites exist and are trivial to use without any risk.

Why even consider paid video on demand services?

Most people with the right hacker mindset and skills aren’t billionaires. Those bots are a pretty beefy force multiplier when they suddenly obey someone else.
