And I ran…

I ran so far away…

Could never get away…

Mmmmyeeaahhh, maybe, but I am a couple decades past trying to read the tea leaves with that guy. If that’s what he really meant, he could’ve come out and just said that – but he didn’t. He was intentionally ambiguous, mostly because I think he’s just tired of dealing with the issue (and an increasingly cunty crowd), and wanted to push the responsibility of making a decision off of himself and back onto the users. I will admit that he is far more composed than I would be in his position.

On one hand, I don’t blame him, but on another hand, I really wish he would’ve taken a stance (prefer preferably anti-AI).

He gave a professional response to a gigantic community because he has a professional responsibility to do so. Personally, I think he gave the only response he could. What does he personally think? Like I said, I’m a couple of decades past trying to read the tea leaves on that guy. But you could be right.

LMFAO

Linus:

Wow, that brings back memories

Loud, screeching memories

Not what I thought they meant when they called them “flock cameras“

pico!

But nano will do ;)

FYI, on Lemmy, we don’t have “subs”— we have communities or “comms”

Piefed supports tagging as part of the platform. It runs as part of Lemmy, but the instances use a different software like mbin does

The bootloader has already seen fixes because of issues asahi uncovered.

Oh, I didn’t know that.

You know what they say: a rising tide lifts all boats

Also, Apple was questioned about this when the project started, and they basically said that they wish the project the best of luck and that Apple isn’t going to do anything to stand in their way.

As absurdly proprietary as Apple‘s hardware is, they’ve never explicitly done anything to block others from running different software on it. Yes, it is difficult to do so under certain circumstances, for all sorts of weird proprietary, Apple reasons, but to explicitly go out of their way to block it? Certainly never on their computers.

Although they do completely lock out their EFI and boot controllers, but they say that strictly a matter of preserving system security or whatever, and that’s believable. Inconvenient, but because that is also extremely proprietary, I believe them.

After all, I have fedora running on a 14 year-old iMac, and it was surprisingly easy to install. The only issues I had related to a dead internal display, but I would imagine I would also have similar problems with any other all-in-one computer with a dead internal display.

I discovered that when I ended up buying Ultima VII next lol

Sadly, ultima underworld ii did not come with a fabric map, but one printed on paper 😔

Yeah, when I’m traveling, the one thing I need to be rock solid reliable is the place that I’m staying. I can’t constantly have some anxiety about some bullshit shenanigans with that. No thank you

I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb, and after everything I’ve read online, I can’t think of a compelling reason to.

Edit: my goodness, such evangelism! Perhaps I should reconsider my position

This reminds me of when Ultima Underworld first came out in 1992, and it came with a map of the first level printed on a piece of fabric, and it looked hand-drawn. I was 13, and I have never played a complicated adventure game like that before, so it was extremely extremely helpful in figuring out how the game worked and how to visualize the levels of the game moving forward. Plus, as the character had a map just like that one, it really helped with the immersion.

Considering that, 34 years later, it is still resonating this strongly in my memory, I’m definitely in favor of maps being included in fantasy stories.

Wait, what?!

On another surface or material? Maybe. On a Walmart backpack? I wouldn’t even risk it.

Recently switched to Fedora myself, and I could not be happier ❤️

Curious about that one too

Ew…
