Do we think it’ll be ready when they can give it specs to match the steam machine so there’s a single target for developers, or the more exciting option of building something arm-based using whatever fex wizardry is going on in the frame?

Amusingly the last Signal outage I remember was actually caused by Musk when he tweeted “use Signal” and so many people did that it took down their sign-up servers

Not even based on, it is Android

Odyssey wasn’t a launch title and BotW was a WiiU game, but I get your point. Plenty of consoles don’t have many unique games at launch.

Since I started [email protected] I’ve not bought a single game but my backlog is growing way faster than I can play through it. Not a bad first-world problem to have, really!

There’s [email protected] / [email protected] which often have some interesting chats about projects like PostMarketOS. I’ve not seen anything that is a viable replacement for a “daily driver” smartphone yet, but if you’re keen to tinker then there’s probably some cool stuff to try out.

The true cyberdeck experience

Solaar is the one I use, it was a Lemmy recommendation and I think there’s at least one other implementation out there

Good point, I’ve used a Logitech mouse and I think that needs software (FOSS implementation available) for button remapping, could be different for a keyboard though

Alternatively, you can assign one of Logitech’s Smart Actions to the key to, say, ask Perplexity for an answer to your query in your browser. Or, you can just set it to be right CTRL.

Entirely reprogrammable though, as with most uses of “AI” it’s just a buzzword to sell to a few extra chumps.

MRW I run git blame to find out who wrote this appalling hack

I don’t know if things are different at Microsoft or across the pond in general, but from people I’ve spoken to who’ve been given similar “mandates”, they’re not as compulsory as they first sound. If you’re reasonably good at your job and your manager is keen to keep you then you can get away with just ignoring these rules. More what you’d call “guidelines” and all that.

Ah, so FIFA but for Americans?

This was quite literally an episode of Black Mirror, I’m sure nothing can possibly go wrong

I saw a similar story about how an open source software project (I think it was curl) have cancelled their bug bounty programme because it’s being overrun with LLM-generated reports and they don’t have enough volunteers to verify them all. The relevant bit is that while many were doing it for the financial reward, some do it for reputation and some genuinely do think they’re helping by adding info they think is missing but not realising that what they’re posting is unreliable.

Almost all I’m aware of are fine with it as long as it’s not hot or alcoholic, and I assume that’s for safety

That’s not really part of the film though. Just go a couple of hours without eating or bring your own food if it’s that expensive, right?

What’s going on with your cinema pricing, I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than £6 for a ticket

Extraordinary!
