  Yeah this. You’re telling me this isn’t just an OSS project by some mel in their basement?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s pretty cool. Also given that it’s ffmpeg, I assume they did it in an agnostic way where you can toss any model at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate AI because it's everything we hate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Today, AI is the voice in the drive-thru that can’t hear our orders. It’s killing the livelihood of creative workers. It’s the thing you have to do at work, whether you like it or not. It’s making search engines unusable. It’s a justification for corporate layoffs. It’s plagiarism. It’s killing information access. It’s taking credit for the work of visual effects artists. It’s a serial liar. It’s harming our critical thinking and memory skills. It’s mecha-Hitler. It’s the really annoying popup. It’s wealth inequality. It’s a crutch for the loneliness epidemic. It’s the industrial polluter. It’s the scammer faking your voice for predatory phone calls. It’s the military-industrial complex. It’s the book that could kill you. It’s exploiting social media algorithms with fake content.”

  If they depend exclusively on the Google safety net attestation service this is true. GrapheneOS supports even stronger attestation though, they just have to choose to implement it properly: grapheneos.org/…/attestation-compatibility-guide

  Religious extremists.

  Yes. Clickbait shit

  I can’t wait for mine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Messages testing RCS’ new MLS encryption, Details page redesign⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Now if only Google would open up RCS to non Google messages apps. It’s just another walled garden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paying the Subnautica 2 team their promised bonus would be "embarrassing", Krafton's CEO allegedly told the game's chief over lunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they’re doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.

  Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success

  I love graphene.

  I stream from my PC with moonlight / sunshine and it really is a game changer for AAA games. I.E. oblivion remastered ATM ;)

  Valetudo is the only high end vacuum I’ll ever want.

  And there it is. Fuck xfinity/comcast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So you CAN turn an entire car into a video game controller⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just a VR headset

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Fairphone turns into a dumbphone at the flick of a switch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.

  Honestly it’s insane. Esp the I still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stalker 2's broken A-life system is finally working as designed, according to GSC Game World⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I held off on buying this. Does it feel good / worth buying now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So… You can cheat then.

  Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | House Bans WhatsApp on Congressional Staff Devices Over Security Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it not actually an allow list vs a deny list. They should be clearing apps that can be installed and not the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Return of the Pebble Smartwatch Is a Sign People Crave Something Unique⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I can’t wait to get mine and be in complete control of my data. No cloud bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Marc Andreessen’s Signal group chats helped spawn the tech right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah idk why people are caught up on this. Encryption is good and absolutely fundamentally important to society. And yes, shitty people can use it too, it doesn’t make it bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨V Rising's first big post 1.0 update brings a bevy of additions, combat reworks, and Steam Deck support later this month⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading the reviews, I can’t believe the devs don’t make saves forwards compatible or have a migration process.

  Would pick this up but that part is just insane. Unable to migrate your castle to another version of the game with new features…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS alternative Bazzite adds support for OneXPlayer plus improvements for ROG Ally⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great! Competition is wonderful.

  To be fair, I think the true heart of steamos (besides arch and just being great) is what they’ve done for proton, which all of these alternative distros benefit greatly from and make them feasible. It’s like X or Wayland. Proton is just foundational (thank you wine) to gaming on Linux being successful. So even if they don’t spend the time to support other handhelds running steamos, they really are with what they’ve done with proton.

  They put pcp alongside shrooms and LSD. That’s insabe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I even missed the reference of the Callisto Protocol being a horror shooter akin to dead space. Makes more sense now. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Callisto Protocol’s action-roguelike spin-off is to Hades what the sci-fi horror shooter was to Dead Space⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed terrible. Tldr: In the same way that dead space defined a genre of horror shooters, Hades defined a class of rogue likes. The makers of calysto protocol are using that formula in a new game codenamed project Birdseye.

  And it looks fun!
