AI assisted coding is okay as long as you’re transparent about it and don’t do this shit.

It allows idiots like me who cannot program for real to make some useful tools (I use it to make Basic scripts for my own use in LibreOffice, for example). That said, IMO it’s crucial that these things are self contained, at least for now. So far all LLMs are way too error prone and no way is the Lutris author reviewing all generated code. Nobody does. All productivity gains are lost then.

I guess we know where to fork from.

Honestly: Why? Lutris Gnome headerbar UI sucks anyway. Looks and behaves like crap especially under Gamescope but in non-Gnome desktops it’s not too great as well. GloriousEggroll and team created umu launcher to make creation of that sort of graphical front ends much easier and a bunch of those popped up already. Might just as well migrate to one of those than to maintain yet another software fork.

If that AI slopper freaks out about alleging conplete lack of threshold of originality, it’s already a win.

Just assume everything is AI generated and feel free to ignore the GPLv3 because generated code doesn’t have any copyright. See how he reacts.

The OLED Deck is easier to repair yourself if that is a consideration.

Now if only Unreal would do the same

UE hat excellent Linux support. They need it for VFX production because that world runs on RHEL. Epic and their licensors just don’t care for Linux games.

Mastodon.social is so much larger than other servers, that other servers have become afraid of defederating it.

Sounds like a way for users to protect themselves against random admins who might defederate a whole server on a whim.

The article’s author made an argument against the point he’s making.

Wonder what Zak Brown will say about one entity owning two teams now. I assume nothing because he’s a Mercedes customer.

Race direction was definitely a bit lacking

Nah, it was gripping getting to watch a lonely Mercedes instead of Bortoletto’s battle.

There will always be limitations unless massive changes occur such as Google open sourcing their Play Services as part of AOSP. MicroG has limited resources to implement compatibility.

Then you are off-topic as well.

No. Pelespirit asked about Jolla which is mentioned in the article posts’s text body. I gave context for Jolla’s Android compatibility. It’s 100% on topic.

/e/OS is based on LineageOS.

And: “The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.”

I don’t see it really as a downside compared to Android, since no OEM is running clean AOSP.

This article is about Fairphone with /e/OS, not some other OEM with a proprietary Android variant.

I think if they find a solution to whatever is going on on the straights

Solutions exists since a long time. The teams vetoed front axle recuperation.

Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

SailfishOS userland is proprietary software. AOSP is more open than SailfishOS. The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.

Upside of SailfishOS: There is a decent chance that the upcoming Linux ARM version of Steam + Proton will run directly on that device.

No backups, no pity.

Could you give examples?

AMD, Intel. To a lesser degree Qualcomm. (I wrote platform designer, not notebook manufacturer.)

I don’t really understand which models to look at specifically.

As long as it’s without NVidia graphics and WiFi/Bluetooth not by Broadcom, it should be alright.

I’m not sure Newey had any oversight into Red Bull’s Powertrain division.

Neither had I and I still learned about the broad strokes of the personnel transfer of Honda to Red Bull PT. Pretty big thing to miss when you’re in the top 5 of that company.

IIRC Red Bull were recruiting heavily from Mercedes and other teams PU divisions too, not just bringing in everyone from Honda.

Honda’s UK team was for the hybrid unit, the Mercedes HPP poaches for the ICE. That’s well known. In fact, only a year ago (pretty late) Honda bought back their original UK factory from Red Bull https://www.motorsport-total.com/formel-1/news/fabrik-von-red-bull-uebernommen-honda-legt-wieder-in-europa-los-25030404 (in German, the first source I could find).

Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey said Friday his group was blindsided by the fact its then-incoming works power unit partner Honda had only retained about 30% of its original world championship-winning staff going into the project.

He was at Red Bull when they bought the entire Honda/HRC UK facilities and workforce. How on earth was he blindsided by this after moving to Aston?

Fully agree.

Last year’s DTM finale was among the most gripping motorsports events ever and they race GT3 cars without any hybrid unit. Not even a second of that race did I think “ooooh, that sound” (especially not on TV because I didn’t attend that race). Great action speaks for itself.
