  • Steam Deck Sales Reportedly Plunge 80% After Price Hikes

  • Lol no they won't. Consumer buying power keeps diminishing as a % of the overall market. Businesses just sell to each other and everyone outside of mass ownership is being turned into a surf for feudalism 2.0 (now with digital circus slop).

  • Nvidia finally reveals what controls devs actually have for DLSS 5, and don't worry folks, there are TWO main sliders to control the AI filter

    Jump

  • It is reasonable to want a good product that makes you happy, I get and support that too. Games are meant to be fun.

    But games also have another nature, which is creativity and artistic expression. When you buy a game copy you're just witnessing another person's or teams vision and you either appreciate or you don't. It's like paying tickets to see a painting or art installation, at least in part.

    You can absolutely go see the mona Lisa while wearing distortive funny effect glasses (mods), all the power to you for doing so.

    But DLSS isn't just that. It's the guy who was sponsoring the painter now demand that he not only uses his own BrightColor TM. dyes, (which is mostly reasonable) but they are now saying the artist should give Mona Lisa a wider smile and colorful blouse or paint a 2nd version with those attributes because "people find it pretty".

    DLSS 5 is genAI pushed into gaming and genAI in art is terribly problematic anti-humanist process that kills the creative soul of human work and promotes whatever the capitalist free market considers "good" at the time while oppressing anything alternative as an instrument of the elite class.

  • I'm not going against mods simply because this level of control I'm taking about exists. Gamers want thomas so they make Thomas as an option, everyone is happy.

    The problem with DLSS 5 is that it's being marketed as an upscaling or even "an improvement" which is frankly insulting for everyone who works on the art and visuals of a game.

  • The point is for developers to have control over their own vision. If you want to be running a real time AI generated visual for a "pick your own adventure" document then I don't think "video game" is the proper term for it nor should it be corroded into that.

    Creative works are dictated by the Authors and makers. If you want something tailored to your specific taste go make it, don't expect others to serve it for you.

  • [SOLVED] How to set resolution to a portion of a screen or just screen share part of one?

  • Not OP but this actually looks really nice! Good job mate, I will probably DL later to try it out.

  • Official Linux position on LLM usage in kernel development

    Jump

  • I'm not absolving governments at all so I'm not quite antithetical to this position either. I understand that a GPL license might have meant less corporate incentives but I also do despise how most corporations are moving these days so it is what it is I guess.

  • Drilling machines are not made by forcibly kidnapping diggers and making them motion-capture their movements for a robot that pollutes and consumes water by ignoring previous green regulations.

  • If they're gonna make proprietary black boxes of spying, I'd rather they spend their own money for it rather than using the code created by the selfless FOSS contributors, ngl.

    Just because fascism-lovers desire a dystopia doesn't mean we have to make it easy for them.

  • Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse'

    Jump

  • Googling is easy. We had mostly capitalism before, the industrial evolution just pumped it even more.

    Plus the IE wasn't a single date but a period. And my point is that previously held ideas of how markets work affected People's hopes of what competition in a capitalist market would be like.

    ...in spite of how the industrial evolution created industries (lol) and markets so vast that they became larger than any human or any family trade ever was, intergenerational behemoths that are simply too resistant to competition because of how it takes literally multiple lifetimes to reach their level without already being a competitor.

  • A.I. Is Running on Borrowed Money

    Jump

  • At a quick search the total debt for all US households is 18.8trillion.

    For AI tech companies that is 0.7t, though this probally doesn't include shadow banking credit, which reports say is estimated to be dangerously high.

    The that that these numbers are only one decimal order apart is despicable. We're talking a handful of AI megacorps vs literally every single individual.

  • Even if it worked it wouldn't. Neoliberals and free-market advocates will tell you that competitors would rise up if there were no regulations.

    But some industries (like silicon and microchips and other advanced tech) are just impossible to breakthrough without years or decades of setting up and operating without profit vs current players.

    And those current players, given no market regulations, will still use their money to do anything possible to stifle upcoming competitors or buy them out.

    The dream of capitalism was born pre industrial age, under models of "apples sold at the farmers' market".

    The reality is we have advanced a lot and need mixed economies to keep things fair for most people.

  • All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes

    Jump

  • Many TVs these days form a mesh network using the TV of your neighbor, or his own neighbors until they find a device with WiFi access in order to call home.

    No reason why cars can't do that now that they've been made into computers with wheels. A trend that I absolutely despise.

  • We need to ban hardware stores. For the children.

    This is literally the endgame for fasc-flavored feudalistic capitalism.

    No tools, only products. No ownership, only leasing.

    At least for common folk. The Aristocrat trillionaires obviously have royal blood that makes crops grow and current run through PCBs, therefore rules don't apply to them and they get to have anything they want while everyone else is a slave.

  • Fraudulent elections is not the same as "exclusively, full-proof, fraudulent elections".

    We know that Musk has affected at least one election and one is more than enough of a spit on the face of democracy.

  • Samsung announces UFS 5.0 storage, and it may be in your next phone

    Jump

  • After experiencing the terrible security standards around eSims I crave dual physical slots like nothing else.

    Apparently most carriers won't let you manage a sim via your account (because people often get them hacked and lol we're not gonna implement better policies) so instead you need to visit a store if you want it unlocked or moved to a new carrier. Which defeats the entire purpose of it being an eSIM in the first place.

  • Something more libre would be ideal ofc, I'm just afraid we're more than a couple years away from those.

    Linux/FOSS adoption is fine on desktop because you can always have another PC at home as backup.phones are a digital lifeline though. Most of us need a greater stability and reliability from the software in such devices, as no one wants to be carrying and charging two phones.

  • At this point the only phone I would be excited for would be the Motorolas with GrapheneOS. Wouldn't mind paying a little premium for them either.

  • Low-skilled attacker used Claude, Codex to breach 14 companies

  • It is significant because a random teenager can't google "download exploits" and have them available 5mins later.

    Powerful AI models and agents though are on your fingertips without you even asking.

    Sure, people can buy guns. But what if every person could materialize a chainsaw instead regardless of their skill, maturity, age, or criminal record? 🤔
