I Can’t Keep Waiting for SteamOS! - Linux Gaming Update 2025 -LTT
  • The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality.

    This is kind of par for the course for LTT. They somehow go the dumbest route in doing things and then wonder why things don't work or break. I'd argue that most of the gaming related immutable distros should provide a decent out of the box experience, simply because that's what they're supposed to do. Maybe not quite as streamlined and fancy looking as SteamOS but functionality wise it should be fine and even more functional / flexible. Though, I'm sure he'll then cry about additional ways to install things that are too complicated, like Distrobox, ignoring his own advice of just sticking to app stores like Discover, which somehow is only valid for SteamOS.

  • Geothermal Power Everywhere: Tech Advances Rapidly
  • This is pretty much the only thing that gives me still the slightest sliver of hope, because if this succeeds, it would have massive potential to turn things around. And the chances for this to work out aren't as far away as something like fusion.

  • Is this a vintage keyboard repurposed for the TV show? (From Silo, season 1)
  • It looks very Commodore but aside from the odd caps on the corners, which may just be custom placed there, the biggest oddity would be the straightly aligned keys on the edges. On the older Commodore boards that share the general design of this one, the two bottom rows are usually slightly more aligned towards the left, compared to the top rows. Atari had some similar keyboard layouts like this but they generally looked different. Maybe some modern retro inspired replica.

  • The tech levels within the silos are purposely kept low. They also forbid things like pulley systems and other stuff that could potentially give them an advantage.

    Would've been nice if you would've stuck with show spoilers specifically btw...

  • UV Light on sister's phone; what's with the blue oval?
  • The point of this community is to identify things, not to have a chat. And given that a lot of people can't even use a regular search engine, I'd say not everyone has access to LLMs now either.

  • SpaceCraft is aiming for the gap between Starfield, Satisfactory and Eve Online
  • The whole pvp / combat section was utterly confusing too. I don't think I care about this at all. The beginning sounded great though, like Starfield without a plot and more focus on exploration and base building. Doesn't sound like they have ship interiors though.

  • Russian records a video showing the outcome of Russian attempts to cross the Dnipro River.
  • People who murder, rape, torture and plunder. They all made their choice, even if that choice was complacency. In the end, they became aggressors, and consequently taken out, as they should. The moment you cross the border into Ukraine, you're an invader.

  • ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down
  • That's why they're popular for chat roleplaying scenarios. They're just good at bullshitting to make you believe they sound somewhat real. I doubt word prediction based "AI" could ever gain any sort of sentience and actually think for itself - assuming that's even possible at all with tech. If it is, it's going to be through different methods than this.

  • Anyone who got The Chronicles of Spellborn to run?

    I got it installed through the old installer, the new one refused to install Edge WebView and consequently crashed when I tried to ignore that part. However, the game itself, while starting, does not render correctly, as seen !here.

    Tried to run it through Wine-GE as well as Proton but both with the same result.

    According to Saint Javelin, Svitlana (the sunflower lady), managed to safely leave the occupied territory.

    Back when the full invasion started and Russian soldiers began to officially occupy new Ukrainian territory, Svitlana was one of the civilians directly confronting & cursing the armed soldiers. She told them to put sunflower seeds into their pockets, so that their rotting corpses would act as fertilizer, and consequently became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance when the videos went viral.

    Trees of Eternity - My Requiem

    Almost a decade later and it still hurts. The first time I heard this song I was immediately captivated, eagerly awaiting more songs and the upcoming album release, just to hear and learn some years later that she passed away and would not even see the release of it. Rest in peace, Aleah.

    Strange rendering issue in Starfield.

    Edit: Update! See comment below! ____________

    So, this has been going on for a long while now but I hoped after a bit of a hiatus it would maybe fix itself when I come back. Basically, the game does not render any of the close up natural ground textures around a certain radius around me anymore.

    It is basically like it stopped rendering the high quality textures for them, as it is literally using the chunk based rendering of the game where it caps out, being affected by zoom / fov levels too. So when I'm in the ship in third person cam and landed, it looks more like a triangle expanding from the cockpit to the back. With the scanner I can even see through the ground and highlight ores or chests beneath, which would normally be blocked, which would tell me that this is within the rendering pipeline of the game.

    And no, it is not my GPU. This does not happen in other games, including Fallout NV, and I even switched out to my old RX 580, which showed the exact same problem. It's also not mods, since I tested it on a fresh installation & prefix, with various Proton versions. So at this point I can only assume it must be something with my OS / system config. But when the issue started, I also tried to revert back to an older kernel, which again, did nothing.

    I'd really like to avoid trying a new installation of my OS as I'm really sick of going through the backup, restoration & setup process again.

    Edit: One detail I forgot to mention. Some single squares do continue to render, even within the invisible radius. But when I go to them and look at the ground, my FPS and frame times start to tank heavily. Unsure if that's related at all though.

    Fediverse is worse than Reddit. Mod abuse, admin abuse, disinformation, and people simping for literal terrorists.
