Wouldn’t it just get forked?

Sure, once it happens they can add more features, but there’s already proton forks today that are recommended for some games, such as https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

Sure, the company is for profit, but I don’t really see a mechanism where a rugpull is possible here.

FTL travel in the series of book “the interdependency” is one of the major plot devices, so it’s one of those that marked me the most.

Without going into spoilers: FTL is limited to using a natural phenomenon that are pretty much akin to space-rivers, so humanity has no power onto what systems are connected to one another.

As rivers do, those “currents” can also shift and have done so in the past: the place where the books happen are completely cut off from earth since pretty much forever, for example.

Just this last month I played “Final Profit - A Shop RPG”: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1705140/Final_Profit_A_Shop_RPG/

An RPG Maker game with no combat, quite a lot of story that’s honnestly not bad and more custom systems than I expected RPG Maker being able to handle.

My understanding is that it was made by a single guy, which for the size of the game is fairly impressive.

You play as the Queen of the Elves trying to fight the embodiment of capitalism by becoming the very best capitalist. I believe there’s some branching to the story, but I only did one playthrough, which took about 20 hours.

For linux only, lan only shared drive NFS is probably the easiest you’ll get, it’s made for that usecase.

If you want more of a dropbox/onedrive/google drive experience, Syncthing is really cool too, but that’s a whole other architecture qhere you have an actual copy on all machines.

I was sure that Nintendo would do kore movies after the success of the Mario one.

My bet was on either Zelda or Metroid, as their universe feels good for a movie storyline.

I didn’t expect a live action at all though and would have bet on an animated movie, I’m honestly not sure how I feel about that choice.

Kid-me would have been crazy about it, but I can’t help to be doubtful about a live action.

The portable part of the console doesn’t seem to matter to you.

So really I think the real question you have to ask yourself is: do you want nintendo games?

If yes, switch 2 seems like a good fit.

Otherwise, most other games are on everything now (PC, xbox and playstation)

Another console might fit your requirements.

If you are willing to disregard thenplug and play, you could also consider a PC with steam big picture: it’s pretty close to a console experience.

“Some places in Quebec” might just be anglophone regions.

They understand French, but don’t like to speak it.

Source: I was born in Quebec with French as a native language, and some people will speak English to me even if I really try to make it French.

You are totally right, I tend to forget most people often don’t know the difference!

Im curious, did you watch the video?

This specific case does seem to be using AI as opposed to classical algorithms and did see an incredible boost in efficiency.

I mean, tech is tech: how we use it is the defining factor.

AI as a whole can have positive impacts: the incredible leaps from the medical field in protein folding being a good example: https://youtu.be/P_fHJIYENdI

Phone or Kobo, depending on source.

I love the openness of the kobo - if you’re a technical user it’s way easier to get it to do cool stuff.

The feature I like most comes from this project: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web

It’s a selfhosted webapp where you can upload your epubs, the killer feature is that it can be a proxy that sits between your Kobo and the official store, so just hitting sync on the device itself will also sync all your 3rd party books.

Not fiddling with cables to transfer the books is awesome.

Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

If you like roguelites ember knights is awesome as a group of 4

Huh, nothing changed…

Weird, I guess.

If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.

From my understanding, that is a thing that actually happens from time to time in real life.

Which is horrifying.

As far as I’m aware, the most impact around EV batteries is obtaining lithium and other componenets.

Components that can and are already being recycled from older EV batteries.

I’m curious to learn if there is other things I’m not aware of though!

I dont think making a parallel between ev charging and hydrogen manifacturing is valid though: my understanding is that electrolysis is an option, but that most of the current creation is a byproduct of fossil fuel refinement, like plastics (which explains why petrol campanies push it).

We can probably improve on electrolysis efficiency, but my hunch is that it simply won’t happen if petrol company can meet demand. Which I’m sure they will for just a bit cheaper than electrolysis costs to keep controlling the market.

If we can produce green electricity, as long as electrolysis efficiency is not as good as the average battery efficiency whatever efficiency of the hydrogen engine itself doesn’t matter: it’s still less efficient than a battery because of the extra manufacturing step. And then there’s transport and all on top of it.

My own prejudice against hydrogen is around manufacturing.

Most of the world current hydrogen made isn’t green at all, and the message is “we’ll figure it out once demand is up”

And the companies pushing the most for hydrogen are petrol companies.

I’m not a chemist, but it doesn’t seem to add up to me.

I say that as an EV owner living in Canada. I need to use a fast charge station about 4 times a year due to cold related battery issues, and all of those time are because of extended road trips.

I work in Montreal.

People biking year round are very rare, and dping so require significant effort compared to using public transit.

I’m all for reducing car usage, but what I am saying is that solutions should be tailored to location.

Bike work for Amsterdam, great!

But I think cities where snowstorm are somewhat frequent should probably focus on public transit instead.

( I’ll admit tough that I assumed Toronto weather was similar to here and didn’t expect that much less snow! )
