jimmy wales is also the president and co-founder of fandom

to give you an idea of who that guy is

elden ring released on PS4 and xbox one, consoles which are (on paper) less powerful than the switch 2

the game ran fine there

the switch 2 is ARM based, not x86. idk the intricacies of the switch 2 GPU when compared to mainstream nvidia graphics cards, but I’d guess there are major differences between a mobile APU and a big boy PC GPU

technically capable of running software… but just barely.

come on now.

well optimized for the steam deck (or for PCs, really)

time for the switch 3!

…or time for developers to rediscover the long lost art of Optimization

can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too

…do you pronounce GIMP with a soft G?

for all 3 of these projects the main way ive heard them said is with a hard G, i know there is a debate with GNOME as to pronounce the G or not (as in the word “gnome”), idk if a similar debate exists with GNU

imo, there’s no wrong way to pronounce a word, as long as people know what you’re talking about, it’s fine

idk, but the G in GIMP (ugh) does stand for GNU

i wonder if it’s also the official reason that it’s (typically) pronounced in GNOME?

honestly kinda disappointed they switched to calendar versioning, it makes identifying big releases much harder

GNU IMP (i refuse to say the short name) 3.0.0 was such an event, it’s sad knowing libreoffice can’t really have that

i mean, if it sucks at this, why put it in lol

(rhetorical question, it’s to please investors, i know)

i mean yea, colonialism was is a pan-european crime, i don’t think anyone was saying the contrary

when we talk about men being dangerous, it’s not in a “LITERALLY ALL MEN ARE EVIL RAPISTS” way.

it’s in a “treat every gun as if it were loaded” way.

for real, on windows getting an update meant “ugh what thing do i need to disable now”

now on Linux, it’s “whoa, that’s a cool feature!” and “OMG THEY FINALLY FIXED THAT FINALLY”

the most negative thing is when they change something and you gotta get used to the new way. im not the biggest fan of the recent changes to Dolphin (the file manager, not the emulator), but it’s fine and I’ll get used to it. it’s not worse now, just different

i hope he wins the lawsuit (the forced migration with no refunds was very bad), but dammit that guy sounds insufferable.

in the first video, one of his main motivators for starting the lawsuit, was that he made a server with guns, mojang made servers with guns against their eula, but just after this guy paid the 1000$ for the twitter gold checkmark on his server’s account…

mojang making shitty eula decisions sucks, but is it grounds to sue? idk

i know activision did it with the crash team racing remake. at launch, you could buy in game items (like racers) with in-game currency. it’s a currency you only obtained through playing the game, you couldn’t buy it with real money.

…until activision made it possible to buy the in game currency, and to accompany that, tremendously raised the price of all the items to entice you to pay…

I think the trick is to just let kids play what they want

as a kid I grew up with basically every generation of nintendo consoles up to the Wii U, as well as a PC (well, a mac really but whatever) and I turned out fine

i missed out on some of the big sensations of the moment, like fortnite or COD, but tbh I didn’t care, these games never interested me and they still don’t

mayb e i shoudl reinstal windows, 😳

semi-related reminder that dell provides servers and tech to the IDF

can confirm, hexbear and grad are inaccessible from here but .ml federates just fine

(imo im fine with this, they have their issues obv but so does .world, and blocking either one cuts you off from a ton of communities and users)
