  • Just playing uhm angels advocate? Not sure how to call it, the naive optimist perhaps!

    Not necessarily: the statement (in isolation) is a call to learn and become capable to explain limitations. The criticized effect is basically “people not being able to explain the limits”.

    I suspect that “finding limits” wasn’t incentived though (and I mean things like positive feedback, not money). And then you get shit-in-shit-out factories.

    Or to rephrase your statement: If you want to play a game then stick to the rules you’ve set up - otherwise everyone’s allowed to cheat.


  • Oh SpaceX core business including their numbers are amazing, I agree! But they also disclosed the whole AI stuff, including the madness of “inference in space” - the physics is then only one search away. … PayPal was really cool and solved problems as well - and so did Tesla!

    I think Musk is like a reverse Midas, eversthing he touches becomes shit for everyone else :/

    SpaceX was by far the biggest exciting development in the last years for me … There’s still hope I’ll be wrong though - hoping for it!

    If there are any plans I don’t know but what I can tell you is that there’s currently no way to circumvent these “restrictions” - because there are none.

    Although from a user perspective it feels like something got taken away from Wayland perspective it’s the other way arou d: screensavers want rights that Wayland simply doesn’t provide to any user space application.

    A screensaver needs to track user interaction globally (for the timeout), overlay over existing apps, manipulate viewport properties, manage the session and similar things, depending on the details.

    Depending on what you want there might be ways to hack something together though.

    Then there’s of course the disclaimer that although I’m not ab LLM my training data (aka experience) might be out of date :D








  • Or is the quintessential immutability.

    Yes.

    It’s also a completely different way to handle … everything.

    Do not think about nixos if you want to know what to try for gaming.

    Do look at it id you want to learn the ins and outs of … Well, to be honest nixos. But I’ve learned a lot about standard paths that everyone expects to be there and hell’s loose if they aren’t.

    Python runs amok if it can’t write into it’s beloved lib folders, nginx is utterly confused why it can’t generate certificates on startup (read only folders), deployment dependencies are absolutely visible - and if you fick up the whole system just goes “nah, take a step back and think about what you just did”.

    I’m now pushing two years on my server and I’m still not sure if I’d recommend it - but I for sure enjoy it!
