  • The bloody lights everyone is obsessed with nowadays caused me numerous nights of shit sleep. Some devices designed by companies who clearly think too much of themselves decided that they would keep their LEDs on despite the computer shutting down.

    If anyone else is experiencing this issue, look for ErP in your BIOS/EFI and then turn it on/enable it.

    Caveat: you won't be able to charge your USB devices using your PC USB ports while the PC is shutdown if you change this setting.

  • Thanks. Just installed a new OS and I'm still working out the kinks. I had that extension installed previously but because it just works in the background I didn't even think to re-install it.

    Ah, yes. Truly, I cannot argue against this impeccable logic. I am swayed.

  • How I use Kate Editor

    Jump

  • I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.

    I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there's an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)

  • product could be on market in five- to 10 years

    For a laugh, I occasionally review the 'Market entry' column on the table in this article.

    I've been hearing this '5-10 years' lark for '5-10 years' now.

  • Heard of them, but couldn't name a single song or pinpoint their genre.

    Checked out a song on YT to get an idea and it was literally just a generic boy band. I mean... I guess their songs rhyme? But then, so do nursery rhymes, and they haven't been my thing for quite a while now.

    To each their own.

  • Carmack defends AI tools after Quake fan calls Microsoft AI demo “disgusting”

    Jump

  • I'm not opposed to either. I think of this a bit like procedural generation, except better.

  • Speak for yourself. As an avid gamer I am excitedly looking towards the future of AI in games. Good models (with context buffers much longer than the .9s in this demo) have the potential to revolutionise the gaming industry.

    I really don't understand the amount of LLM/AI hate in Lemmy. It is a tool with many potential uses.

  • I take posts like these as an opportunity to block people who spam Lemmy with stupid nonsense. I'm heartened to know I won't ever see a post by this person ever again.

  • I don't mind this. I also don't mind watching a movie in a non-English language so long as there are subtitles (Pan's Labyrinth was awesome).

    What I dislike are movies/series that decide to include a conversation in a different language without providing subtitles.

    I hate this. Spending the next 5-10 minutes searching the internet to find a complete script of a show just so I have a complete understanding of what's going on is annoying, not fun.

  • Jesus Christ can you at least be accurate?

    Speaking of accuracy, your comment seems to identify the wrong issue. Navigating the install menus in a non-Arch linux distro is pretty much analogous to Windows. The biggest difference is that Linux distros don't have 3-4 pages where they sneakily try to include privacy-breaching clauses during the installation.

    The real issue is starting the installation in the first place. Windows is easy, because hardware manufacturer's have en masse bent over to willingly present themselves to Microsoft, Linux doesn't have this advantage and users must figure out how to get around the 7,000 different Secure Boot UEFI configurations before they can even start the installation process.

  • forgot they call weed drug

    Clearly you didn't, because weed is completely unrelated to this story. You saw the word 'drug' and assumed it must mean 'marijuana'.

    Edit: You know what, this response was pretty dickish. Sorry. Ignore the above.

  • The ruling means far-right leader Marine Le Pen could face a five-year political ban if her party is convicted in an ongoing embezzlement trial.

    My dream is to one day read a news article about a court decision that actually has final concrete repercussions, and not something that will likely end up with 2-3 more appeals later down the track.

  • Some people down vote popular things because they are popular.

    Didn't downvote this myself, but I can understand why some people would. I have personally blocked numerous users and communities who post variations of the exact same post over and over and over again.

    There are only so many times I can read the same bloody thing about Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Israel, and Linux.

    I agree. Trump/Musk/Netanyahu are arseholes. Linux is awesome. But I don't bloody well want to read a variation of the same post every single time I access Lemmy.

  • It Might Be Time to Admit the Great VR Experiment Has Failed

    Jump

  • I can't think of a single VR game that has come out that felt like a fully fleshed out game. The games I've played the most have all been ports (e.g. Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Forest) because native VR games are typically only 3-6 hours long.

    Meta really make it annoying to use too. My next headset will definitely not be a Meta.

  • The current model has its own issues. The amount of series that are cancelled after the first or second season is ludicrous. Also, and I'm not sure if it's related to streaming or the constant writer's strikes, but series have reduced from 16-26 episodes per season from the height of the piracy-era to 6-10 nowadays.

    If the reduction in piracy led to this deterioration in quality, then I can't imagine it could get any worse if everyone started pirating again.

    Personally, I reckon it will incentivise the numbskulls in charge that no one is going to pay for 48 separate streaming services and they'll be forced to adapt (likely via packaging/merging streaming services together).
