To quote the other comment in this thread: "just use Fdroid". No engagement driven design there.

Woah... in Sri Lanka we pronounced it as "Eee-Ah Eee-Ah Oh".

Went straight over my head. Could someone please dumb it down for me?

Aww what, show the view behind you! I want to see the cave, not the forest 😅

Damn, that got me! I was about to comment being like "woah! We get threads here?" when I finally noticed.

I doubt she'll be at the DNC. It won't even be very useful if she does. I don't know how many fans are even interested in politics, let alone watch the DNC.

So, before the invention of the camera, the most valuable and most popular creative skill was replicating people on canvas as realistically as possible. Yes, we remember famous exceptions like Picasso, but by sheer number of paintings the most common were portraits of rich people.

After the cameras took that job away, prevailing art changed to become more abstract and "creative". But that still pissed off a lot of people that had spent a very long time honing a skill that was now no longer in demand.

What we're seeing is a similar shift. I think future generations of artists will value color theory, composition, etc. over specific brush stroke techniques. AI will make art much more accessible once enough time has passed for AI assisted art to be considered art. Make no mistake: it will always be people that actually create the art - AI will just reduce/remove the grunt work so they can focus more on creativity.

Now, whether billion dollar corporations deserve to exploit the labor of millions of people is a whole separate conversation, but tl;dr: they don't, but they're going to anyway because there is little to stop them in correct economic/governance models.

False.

I work for Microsoft and I can assure you that any effort I make to increase code quality or reduce jank (or pretty much anything other than shoving more AI in our products) will not positively impact my bonus next year.

IIRC it wasn't legal action from Nvidia, but rather AMD pulling the funding that killed ZLUDA.

I mean, their official discourse forums have a fair bit of documentation.

But Bazzite's goal is to make things work so that people can spend their time playing their games instead of reading documentation.

That depends on what your use case is. If you're after gaming, I'd recommend Bazzite
