Colm Meaney Isn't Sure Star Trek Needs an Old Man Miles O'Brien
EHhhh, I love O'Brien, but lately I think Trek has been relying way too much on nostalgia. I'd rather have new characters instead.

Gen Z is choosing not to drive
You could say Gen Z "chooses" a lot of things. Gen Z "chooses" not to buy houses (we can't afford them) Gen Z "chooses" to be mentally ill (not even 10 years ago, "autism" was just "the weird kid") Gen Z "chooses" to rent Gen Z "chooses" not to buy food Gen Z "chooses" to let climate change fuck the earth Gen Z "chooses" to not have kids (although here we actually don't want them, but also couldn't afford them) and so on.

Obvious one? Twitter. Youtube comments are pretty awful, and a secret third one, steam community comments. LORD they are so awful. Full of bots/people who just have awful takes or argue over the most benign shit

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged!
God I fucking hope so man. I'm so tired of Nvidia not working on Wayland properly. It'll be so nice to have VRR and gSync on Wayland without the awful flickering.

It would simply be too good for this universe to handle
Technically we did get hl3 with alyx, and technically we got portal 3 with lego dimensions

Micron just demoed the world's fastest SSD with PCIe 6.x tech, a sequential read speed of 27GB/s, and yes, it's just a prototype for now
The next monster hunter is gonna require this in the specs

I'd have rather had the wooden spoon
My only thing with these kind of generational blaming memes is that it wasn't "the previous generation" that fucked us, it was the rich and powerful. It ALWAYS has been and it ALWAYS will be. The average Joe in 1960 wasn't wringing their hands like a bond villain going "nyeh heh heh, today I will invent CLIMATE CHANGE!" It was the CEO of companies like shell who knew about stuff like climate change and lied. Generation blaming isn't productive and your aiming at the wrong people! Although the child hitting thing is actually just abuse and fucked up, THAT you can def blame the boomers for.
Funny meme tho, sorry for the rant

Nah. I'm not going back. Even IF they walk back ALL of their bullshit, Reddit has proven to be utterly incompetent. And that is a BIG if in the first place.

I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?
Really recommend mint, or ubuntu. Please for the love of god stay away from arch and all of it's derivatives, or at least try Ubuntu/Mint first. Also do NOT use manjaro it sucks, it is not maintained well at all

Monolith Soft says procedurally generating assets in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ‘reduced man-hours considerably’ | VGC
Reply in thread
Okay, both of y'all are wrong on this one.
"Ai firms"
Procedural generation isn't related to generative AI, as stated in the description. Daggerfall, released in 1996, used procedural generation to generate it's dungeons and world map. It has continued to be used since, in games such as No Mans Sky, Minecraft, Valheim, and many more.
"Not the developers and employees whose “man hours” they’re “reducing”"
I'm not even sure why this would be a bad thing given that developers are overworked, unless you're thinking they're going to use this technology to replace developers, but that isn't happening. It streamlines the creation process so that developers aren't creating literally every blade of grass or bush manually. For example if you created a patch of grass X size, the generation will automatically add some flowers or some such. If anything, this probably gives developers MORE work, because now that this process is streamlined, they'll be expected to do even more. Hope this clears things up, procedural generation is a good tool when used correctly!#

"I'll move to Linux if it runs every game I want" just say that you never will move
Im ngl, I feel like its posts like these that make people dislike Linux users. Expecting every game that you own to run perfectly isn't some insane requirement, its totally reasonable lol. I get that its kinda frustrating people won't ever switch, but lets be real, the only way Linux is actually going to gain new users is by having it come pre-installed on devices. Look at the increased Linux use because it's the default OS on the steamdeck. It just needs to be the default on more devices, and be solid enough that people don't even notice they're not on Windows. The amount of people who will actually go out of there way to switch their OS is so negligible it may as well not even count. So who cares about these people who will never switch, because they probably won't matter much in the end anyway.
--And I say this as someone who has been on Linux full time for a little over a year now.
