  • The Gram Editor - ZED fork without AI and other commercial stuff

    Jump

  • it has some recent commits on github. I think it can regain momentum. nothing compared to zed. This Zed fork may be suitable but I think it'd be better if community members went and gave lapce another go rather than continuing to base on and effectively be contributing to zed

  • VideoLAN Publishes Dav2d For Open-Source AV2 Decoder

    Jump

  • I think first would be wait to see how well it can be decoded/transcoded on CPUs for peoples current equipment. Won't be able to have as many concurrent streams as codecs with hardware support. AV2 hardware is probably years away. I'm certain AV2 hardware will succeed unlike VVC which had a blip of support with Intel then abandoned the next generation of Intel chips. I'll switch to AV2 once it has similar adoption to like AV1 today so like 8 years from now I guess. I'm guessing similar amount of time for hardware support to be as ubiquitous. Not sure if it should be quicker with how dead in the water VVC has been for 6 years or slower because people upgrade hardware less frequently now and honestly h.264 is still good enough and AV1 is really good enough so any rush to AV2 will mostly be hyperscalers trying to cut down on bandwidth and storage costs

  • McDonald's is a premium product now

    Jump

  • McDonalds sucks. back on reddit I do enjoy the fastfood reddit for the nostalgia but that subreddit reminds me how many people only eat what they're comfortable with or are too scared to even try cooking for what seems like performance anxiety. Also the regular posting of someone buying fast food through doordash and getting trashed for doing so. Both marked up doordash price compared to the store or the restaurant app and the fees from doordash. A lot of people use doordash to order fast food. I've caught my friends doing that rather than using the stores dedicated app with better deals. Even for pickup. It's insanely lazy and short sighted. At least download their app rather than using doordash

  • I'll try it. I still want to make a move off of vs code/codium. I keep zed and lapce installed to keep an eye on but at work everyone uses vs code and its familiar to everyone. I don't know why more people don't give lapce a try or more attention. Zed seemed like it would be corporatized in some way since the beginning. I can see why editors like Kate aren't super adopted with the lack of plugins like vs code but it seemed like Lapce has a pathway to be as extensible

  • Jensen Huang says Nvidia now has 'zero percent' market share in China — says US export policy 'has already largely backfired'

    Jump

  • Yup. For all the making fun of chinesium (socially acceptable racism often when people talk about chinese products. Very clear when one scoffs at a taiwanese product as being trash because chinese but then walks it back when they learn it's of taiwanese origin), in my life I've seen chinese phones, audio products, and cars go from scoffed at to being well regarded in enthusiast communities.

    I saw it in other hobbies of mine. Not long ago people only talked about Japanese and German chef knives - Chinese knives must be trash. Then eventually people started to try out Chinese knives that weren't just grocery store bargain stuff. Now progressively people are trying knives from Vietnam. Turns out people have been making knives in these countries for thousands of years. Not as bad but maybe worse is when a person I knew told me they were at first surprised to learn movies were made around the world rather than just being in hollywood, english language. Went from American and European made video game peripherals dominating to more and more chinese competitors like 8bitdo, aula, whatever.

    In my lifetime, earlier if it said made in South Korea of made in Taiwan, the assumption was poor quality. Hyundai was scoffed at until like the mid 2010s in my experience. I'm told Japanese products were scoffed at as poor quality until like the end of the 70s and then you had major strikes and violence against Asian American people in the rust belt as anti-Japanese sentiment primarily in regards to competition for autoworkers and steel. Now Japanese made is fully regarded as high quality and the desire to compete in quality+value+parts+serviceability doesn't seem to be of much interest to US or European automakers (that parts availability and serviceability is major)

    I imagine it the same as decades back with Korean and Taiwanese made goods, you get you pay for. If you start on the premise that a $200 Chinese product should be as good or better than like a $500 American product, that's a nonsense expectation to have. People will go from a $1200 iPhone and use a $200 Ulephone and determine that $800 phone from a company with a Chinese sounding name, name of their CEO, are trash unless it turns out that that Chinese sounding name company is headquartered in Taiwan or Singapore

  • Do we think the Steam Controller will sell out/be hard to get later?

    Jump

  • I did not make an argument for why you would not make the purchase. I'm making the argument that it won't be scarce later in the year because gamepads for PC don't sell in the volumes like consoles. They're not used at volume as consoles. People will buy it. People that already have gamepads are less likely to buy it, but they may still buy it. I am addressing the OP who is asking opinions on likelihood of the controller being scarce later in the year

  • Do we think the Steam Controller will sell out/be hard to get later?

    Jump

  • I didn't say it would be a rare thing. The question is whether someone believes the steam controller will be hard to get later in the year as stated in the OPs post. I do not believe it will be hard to get

  • Do we think the Steam Controller will sell out/be hard to get later?

    Jump

  • what percentage of the 10 million people do you expect to buy a steam controller and how much would that compare to playstation, nintendo and xbox owners? That's 10 million steam gamers that already have gamepads to play on steam and the other 85% playing with I'm assuming mouse and keyboard. PS5 has sold ~100 million where each package in a gamepad plus all the additional that you see in stores and have been purchased. Do you believe this steam controller will be hard to find and why? It seems to me that the manufacturing of gamepads is not a struggle considering how many are available and that the steam controller has a release date already rather than the machine or frame

  • Hoping that Graphene Motorola partnership ends up making Graphene some really well supported target for bank/finance apps for those that make that a part of their required features for a phone. I can live with Firefox. Many seemingly can't

  • Do we think the Steam Controller will sell out/be hard to get later?

    Jump

  • I'm certain it won't be a problem past a month. Primary input on PC is mouse and keyboard. The primary users for this gamepad will be steam machine owners. The controller for now requires steam. Some sunset of ~150 million people will buy this. I'd be surprised if this sold to even 10% in 5 years. It'll be competing with the likes of 8bitdo and others that while they may have less buttons, no trackpad, it's the amount of buttons devs design around. Steam controllers until they become overwhelmingly popular along with other controllers that mimic it, those rear buttons won't be essential for gamepad native games. Steam controllers have nice to haves rather than being the minimum needed. Vast majority of gamers would be served by a $30 8bitdo perfectly well for their uses

    I'd expect the PlayStation and Xbox regular first party controllers and maybe even the premium first party consoles controllers to sell more than this and they don't seem to have supply problems. Those are essential to the console experience. Steam controller is not to PC gaming

  • Gabe Newell was an enthusiastic supporter of OpenAI in 2018, donating $20 million and even acting as the sole member of an 'informal advisory board'

  • We acting like people in the art community weren't hyped up over AI until they started generating images. Before chatgpt, it was all about automating coding/it and other jobs that arent considered art. Back then it was all about how everyone could pursue their passions. The only people not excited were all the transportation employees and factory workers that had been told by the general public how excited they were to replace them

  • Apple is giving up on the Vision Pro after weak sales and high return rates

    Jump

  • Too expensive. Too insulting from the rest of the VR ecosystem. Would love to have a display like that but not worth it for how limited in software it is compared to other headsets. Steam Frame will have games. Quest has the price. Display, there's Samsung Galaxy XR that gets you the great display without being stuck in Apple land. There's going to be the Pico Swan. Vision Pro didn't spark major software development. Its hardware advantages have pretty much already been mostly matched by Samsung and soon others willing to put out mico-OLED display headsets

  • Democrats Introduce Bill To More Than Triple The Minimum Wage

    Jump

  • This may be for show but that's more show than they were willing to show 2019-2021. Republicans were throwing out certain to fail bills constantly for at least the last 25 years. It at least throws people a marketing bone and also any that make it out of committee to a floor vote, it puts on record/something to market for/against an elected public servant. Republicans effectively steer public opinion against their own to their advantage for getting stuff passed and who they want into office. Democrats do not.

    It's one way to craft a publicly recognizable party ideology that the democratic party has failed to build up these last few decades. The we're not republicans, we looks and sound more professional doesn't work. Something like this is a major improvement. If it makes it to the floor for a vote, which democrats and republicans will vote against or abstain. We should want that for potential future primary challengers and be encouraging these

  • Schedule I dev confirms they're working on gamepad support and Steam Deck certification

  • After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all

    Jump

  • Media coverage of Linux today is wildly different than the 2010s. It used to be vitriol to entertain the idea of using Linux. It was hoping that complaining about Windows enshittification and Apple pricing while still buying them would produce any results. More and more people will learn that they don't need the software they grew up with for their hobbies or indie projects. Don't need o365 to write your novel

  • GIMP rebranding as WLBR?

    Jump

  • I suppose so. I'd rather they spell it out for simple readability. Like I don't know what Krita means but easy to read. Kate text editor may mean something, I don't know. Kdenlive is easy to read. Don't know what the 'den' part is supposed to mean

    Apparently it's "KDE Non-Linear Video Editor". At least kdenlive is easy to read in my opinion
