If you

• need discoverability, or
• don’t need anything composable

then sure GUIs are great.

That’s actually a great question, safer to ask your LLM directly! So helpful. /s

Eh… don’t want to be mean but that’s what’s called an “IP address” for Internet Protocol Address… but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.

So that won’t work, people outside your LAN can’t reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don’t know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :

https://localhost/ and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

Damn… money laundering though LIVE with its “gifts” I never thought about this. Everything else is wrong, at scale, but this surprised me.

OK you can hate HOMEwork and instead do everything at school or work, namely study there, but what genuinely matters for studying is that you DO do the work. You have to do the exercises, over and over again, more and more challenging, otherwise nothing gets through. You only get the “feeling” of understanding without getting the practice.

Learning without practice is like being a theoretical athlete. Hate homework all you want but learn to love studying by doing.

And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

Fucking manipulate idiot.

Classic GenAI marketing BS :

• show a superficial demo (literally it’s JUST the surface of the things you claim you can “generate”)
• imply that we are on the “brink” of radical change so we “just” have to wait then the “rest” will be generated
• move on to the next grandiose claim to make sure nobody goes beyond the surface

It’s so obvious it’s painful. Sure it’s not random, sure there is “progress” but it’s NEVER tackling the hard problem. What makes a game fun or exciting isn’t the generated world, only a non gamer would claim that.

Back to LFS.

I feel seen.

Yep, I guess the way you said it was more diplomatic than mine because with (I believe at least) the same message I’m getting downvoted for asking for more open source but you don’t. I’m clearly missing something.

Edit: my bet is that you mentioned Playnite thus demonstrating legit alternatives do exist, whereas I didn’t so maybe people imagined I just complained asking for something impossible because they didn’t not it already existed. I should have mentioned Lutris.

I didn’t say it was the only motivation, but even if I did, can you please give examples and address the question I did ask?

Steam isn’t open source either

…and? I wish Steam also was open source but I don’t see how that’s relevant here.

We’re discussing about a position for someone who probably likes, or at least understand, open source because that’s the motivation for most people when they consider Linux. It’s important to highlight what it is and what it is not, unfortunately.

There are open source games too, just to give a random examples GCompris is quite amazing and it keeps on growing. Countless examples on https://itch.io/games/tag-open-source

What is the point of this very community? Is it “just” to play (and if so, one can “just” launch Steam on desktop or their SteamDeck, BTW AFAIK Steam does not suggest DRMs, it’s up to the game dev) or rather is it to play better, whatever that might mean? I personally do not believe promoting proprietary software (especially when working ones already exist) helps go further but you might disagree. Can you please explain then WHY more proprietary launchers and games is good?

No mention of open source though.

you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn’t an operating system/browser in the way

Latest cool thing I saw : Doom on my earbuds https://doombuds.com/ which IMHO demonstrate greatly how much more powerful so many tiny things around us really are.

Worst part is … he’s still right according to the stock. That’s just madness.

Yes, that should be done in order to pass national certification and thus before allowing importation. Having cameras is fine when used in a closed loop, streaming data away from the car though, that’s different.

You mean compared to 996? Actually yes probably. Compared to forced labor though, I wouldn’t go that far.

All tech is used as such. You think Apple and Microsoft and Android aren’t …

At least “All popular consumer tech …” then, because there are alternatives already.

Sorry buddy but you are not “smart enough” to use that super powerful tool that supposedly can do everything extremely convenient for you! /s
