Yes? Ubuntu is the one with an enterprise option. Debian, their free and community supported upstream has already patched this.

It's been in development for 26 years and still isn't 1.0, I wonder what the criteria for that is.

We can use a non-deterministic system because we have test suites that act as validation gates.

Other industries don't, so they have no way of knowing if the AI is bullshitting them outside of manual validation, which makes it more expensive and slower than doing it yourself.

IRS has been starved of resources following the "starve the beast" playbook.

Also the only reason we have to pay for Turbotax (etc) is due to lobbying. We had IRS Direct File for two years and it was great before being gutted by the current administration.

Games have already begun to remove Linux support, most notably Apex Legends and Wardogs. Embark (The Finals, Arc Raiders) recently gave a talk that userspace anti-cheat is dead and they plan to enforce similar requirements.

Marathon having voice chat in 1994 was mind-blowing

Yes. Trump is not a rational actor, it is textbook narcissism, not as a critique of his personality but I think he meets the criteria for clinical diagnosis.

If you don't listen to him then it results in narcissistic injury and he will retaliate.

Your expertise and point of view are feeding the model.

I do think a lot of startups, especially on HN, are in for a reckoning that your new vibecoded product/service or one with an AI feature or two added will survive. Everything you do is going to feed the model, that's the training data now. That's why Claude is so cheap for what it does.

You cannot prompt Claude better than your customer can. There is no realistic moat there. You will not survive.

Revenue isn't profit, inference is expensive

Godot is the best open source engine because it is dead simple to use, comes bundled with its own IDE and documentation, the editor runs on any platform that Godot runs (including the web) and the performance benefits for something like Bevy only apply to a handful of games that really need it.

Godot gives GDScript simplicity for the vast majority of use cases which is that iteration boon, provides C# for games that need the additional guardrails. For performance critical game scripts you can just jump to C++, Rust, Swift, etc.

But most game scripts are not performance critical. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 swept the game awards last year as an Unreal Engine game made using almost entirely visual scripting (blueprints).

I've been on KDE for the past 2 years and it's been a great experience. I wiped Windows everywhere (impractical before).

I keep it installed on a secondary drive just-in-case but I haven't booted into it in months.

I searched for something, it told me that according to a YouTube video, the entire point of my search was wrong. I asked it for the source, I watched the video, it never made the claims Gemini hallucinated. I asked again and it claimed it scrubbed the video and found the point it made multiple times. I said those timecodes were wrong and it admitted it couldn't actually parse videos and just guessed.

What the fuck?

It's stricter than Debian's, which is one of the most conservative Linux distros out there.

Steam Frame has black and white passthrough but it's not good enough for AR. They sell a third party's passthrough camera as an add-on though which is $130 I think and clips on the front. Since the Frame runs open Linux with KDE this is really interesting to me.

Sounds like a trademark issue when Epic ships a wildly popular Unreal Engine

My Volkswagen has ChatGPT and I've used it exactly once, and Android Auto has been pushing Gemini which makes my usual voice commands "play X on Spotify" take longer or fail as it misinterprets the results.

Fun party trick I suppose.

I ran into this too. It blew my mind that I could run Linux just fine but I couldn't even install Windows because it had no wifi driver and it wouldn't install without a network connection.

I tried putting the driver files on a USB stick but the Windows installer refused to recognize those.

The decision to axe it and go with NeXT was widely attributed to Ellen Hancock (RIP)

It's not taxpayer funded, the grid has an overabundance of daytime solar that exceeds their capacity to store it.

Australia would disagree: https://www.energy.gov.au/news/new-energy-plan-daily-window-...

This machine runs Linux, it comes with KDE. This is the open Apple Vision Pro alternative that you can use as a real computer.

It comes with a black and white passthrough camera but you can add on a 5K color one.

There's ongoing work for a full Plasma XR mode, so you aren't restricted to a "virtual desktop" experience: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671

To be fair there because most of the submissions about Windows are negative ones, which means the comments are either "Windows sucks" or "I'm glad I stopped using Windows"

The last time I remember hearing positive news about Windows was the Win 7 launch.

I recently wiped Windows off my wife's machine after the last straw broke with Windows - it gave her a full screen prompt after a reboot that forced her back to Edge and copied all of her local documents to OneDrive.

She only plays a handful of games and browses the web, Bazzite was a no-brainer replacement.

Maybe Aaron Swartz would still be alive if he was incorporated

But the people saying "it'll run fine" are also the people running the store and ultimately responsible for refunds in this situation.

So you expect them to deny refunds and then say "hey you shouldn't have believed us"?

When the company running the store sells three hardware products where they say "ignore that, it'll work on our OS" they need to take responsibility.

Valve absolutely knows what platform you've logged into desktop Steam from even when you're on a mobile device, and can pop up a dialog during purchase saying "This game requires Microsoft Windows, and you have not been active on that platform in the past 30 days. This game will be supported by Steam Play, and developer support is not guaranteed."

That's a totally reasonable ask.

The money was given to Valve, which then gave money to Ubisoft. Valve sells the game and handles refunds.

Valve should. Valve is the one making these games available for purchase on non-Windows platforms. Ubisoft never supported this.
