There are some questions I think are very hard to answer like this one. If it’s my SO I’ll explain once per month, if it’s a rando I’ll avoid socialising, if it’s a friend I’ll probably mention it once.

It also depends on what the efficiency stuff is, are we talking software use, cutting onion, tieing shoes, work stuff or changing diapers? I’m most likely over thinking this but how can you not, context is so varied here.

I took the test as an autistic person and got more German than autistic.

Wus-ter-sure

Work from home and wear shorts only and drink tons of water.

It’s running through Proton, he mentioned that in the benchmarks it shows up “as playing on windows” because of Proton.

Other than that Nick is pretty transparent about what he does, if something is not mentioned it’s likely whatever is default on the distro when running steam through flatpak (flatpak was mentioned).

You can tune any distro to any degree you want and replace everything including a custom built kernel to get performance. But you know not everyone can/wants to do that, I have a toddler so I’m not going to take a whatever Debian and install a new scheduler and whatever just cause.

You might forget that Linux desktop is growing super fast and fiddling with stuff under the hood is not that common and noobs and people with experience end up fucking things up constantly. Having something that’s performant, optimised for your use case, whatever optimisations baked in won’t break with updates and you can just install it and forget is a really big deal. This is just not something that was available.

I think you should stop the hate and allow people to be happy with the distro they like for whatever reason.

I also think an implementation should depend on how many the developer remembers to change

Canals and trains are still the two of the most important parts of the goods transport network. It’s not a good analogy, cities who finished the canals and trains did better.

Wasps and bees are closely related to ants, ants really go crazy for honey.

They probably really want to verify the face so they can link him up to other people with image recognition and whatever ads those people were shown recently that actually resulted in clicks.

If they lose 10% of users but increase revenue by 20% for the ones remaining then corpo gonna corpo.

Must be a troll comment.

I play indie games a bunch, here’s my shortlist:

• Factorio (factory builder)
• Enter the Gungeon (bullethell top down shooter)
• Slay the spire (rougelike deckbuilder)
• Subnautica (underwater exploration/survival/base building) - nr 2 is in early access, publisher deal with Krafton so good for the devs they fucked up trying to get out)
• Megabonk (rougelike auto-shooting, 3d vampire survivors type)
• Outer Wilds (space mystery exploration)
• Chants of Senaar (language decoding)
• Return to the Obra Dinn (forensics)
• Dave the Diver (dive fishing/sushi serving)
• Celeste (2d platformer)
• Neon White (speedrunning FPS)
• Papers Please (soviet style document checking)
• Cuphead (metroidvania)
• Magic Archery (very short and solid incremental, free and unmonetized, very rare)
• Inscryption (deckbuilder)
• Schedule I (drug dealing sim)
• Hollow Night (2d platformer Soulslike)
• Hades (roguelite)

All of them are good and they’re mostly different types of games. All are tons of fun to play and most of them have a very charming art style (schedule I, and Megabonk Notably lacking there)

Out of these the absolute favorites are Factorio, Outer Wilds, Return to the Obra Dinn.

Side note, very important you stick with Outer Wilds until you find a major secret, people sometimes bounce off it and miss out on a once in a lifetime gaming experience.

Just to add, finding good wayland support can be more important for gaming depending on your hardware. You get HDR, variable refresh rate, fractional scaling for monitors and other goodies.

Price per intelligence benchmark has been going down though but openai killed 4o mini which was the absolute cheapest smartish model.

The writing is not on the wall just yet, but with some players dropping out and some enshittification I could see models becoming very expensive.

Overkill for the use case, great deal for the price. Also will last forever with 4 battery cells.

Honestly, I also felt like it was boring starting out since you’re just exploring aimlessly. Then after a while of just flying all over and looking at shit it starts clicking, the pieces start falling into place and the enjoyment of the game grows. Revisiting old places doesn’t feel like a chore anymore because you’re using new knowledge and instead of aimlessly wandering you’re on a mission to explore a nook that looked off limits.

So yeah, if you started it and didn’t get far it sucks, if you finished it then it’s amazing.

As a counter example MonsterSSS has a lot of fun.
