With god, anime and lemmy on my side, it will turn out differently than last time for sure.

THAT is what happened?! Wow, that is hilarious!

The legal battle is ongoing, but Kim looks set to lose.

I am SO curious what will happen here and what the final verdict will be. Trying to cheat someone out of 250 million has to result in some enormous fine at least right?

That’s a bit different, because he’s selling finished products. He can just check all the boxes from star wars over dnd to collectible card games and order the value pack from a middle man and then it’s all about the location of the shop and the competition in the area.

You don’t have to understand why a specific product works if what you’re doing is essentially providing a mixed physical storefront for a bunch of corporations.

But this lady is now going to have to make important strategic decisions, about which games to give funding, which ones to cancel, what kind of hardware to even envision.

Compare it to valve, who sat down and build their own controller and handheld, because they looked at 20 years of market and product development and thought they could do better and delivered. You have to know a lot about why you want hardware for what purpose and what makes it better or worse for that purpose to do that.

XBOX, theoretically, same as any other big name in media, could be the place where a new media franchise is born that dominates the next 50 years of pop culture. THAT is the kind of position this is.

That they won’t because they can’t “build the next skyrim / WoW” is kind of the problem.

Being a personal fan of video games isn’t necessarily required to succeed in running a gaming company.

What the F***, yes it is.

(that’s arstechnica saying that though, not the new xbox boss person)

openDemocracy’s website has been repeatedly brought down by an army of bots.

This website uses cookies to give you the best experience.

See, from my point of view, the problem is that the website is up, not that it was brought down?

It was literally started less than 2 months ago, it’s going pretty well for a national movement. I don’t think it’s explicitly limited to German only, if you want to do an event, you can sign up on the website and do it.

If I search “Iron” on wikipedia I’m looking for facts

Not what I meant.

The point is: there is an established group of editors, with established rules and preconceptions, an established interpretation on what good sources are and what a neutral perspective is and isn’t, and there is no chance of changing those and that is why I have no interest in interacting with wikipedia in any constructive way.

I could talk about politics too, I picked video games because I know those articles are also bad.

Yes.

Yet behind the celebrations, a troubling pattern has developed: The volunteer community that built this encyclopedia has lately rejected a key innovation designed to serve readers.

But not that one, because rejecting AI 1) is not a generational rejection and 2) it is correct to reject it.

What I think is or will be the generational problem: the community that maintains it and decides what is being accepted or rejected is an “in group” that it is impossible to break into with conflicting ideas. For example, I do think the gaming, game mechanics and game development related pages can be vastly improved. But I don’t think the people responsible for those pages are interested in the changes I would suggest.

All the wikis for different games could just be on wikipedia. But they’re not, probably because they were rejected, because it’s “not relevant”. Well, some people decided they were relevant after all and they made their own wikis for those. The outcome is tribalism based fragmentation, because of differences in opinion of who values what and what should be preserved and what shouldn’t.

Thanks!

But they so generously extended their blackmail ultimatum date support!! Why won’t people switch? It’s so weird. Don’t they know that MS CEO Satya Nadela ($1.1 Bil) has their best interest at heart, always?

This isn’t a rich dumbass like Trump. It’s always interesting to listen to him.

Noooobody cares where the model comes from once it’s already trained and being run in a sandbox.

All he’s trying to do here, is play for time to get people to stay invested in the US but move out of US businesses himself and into longer term assets like gold. He’s playing the “panic” and “china bad” cards to do it. Don’t believe him and divest. Do it before the US crashes.

That is technically true, but

Install GNOME Software Flatpak plugin

The GNOME Software plugin makes it possible to install apps without needing the command line. To install, run:

sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak

I hope you can see the problem with that.

It did read that page, it just didn’t register because it’s more command line stuff.

That’s a good idea! but it doesn’t work for me.

This is one of those intentionally misinterpreting posts that I really really… “dislike” in the linux community.

I guess you’ll need to install gnome-software or Bazaar

…which the official instructions don’t mention, so it’s not a valid answer. Again, I can get it to work, but that’s not the topic of this thread.

All the “software stores” I have seen: ubuntu’s software center, flatpack are utter trash. Offensively bad. I’m not sure how you can even get the flatpack store without the terminal.

so, e.g. flatpak tells you to install flatpak via commandline on ubuntu. Apparently it’s built into linux mint.

https://flathub.org/en/setup/Ubuntu

but when trying to install a random app,

https://flathub.org/en/apps/app.curocalc.calculator/install

the instructions are to “download file and execute”, but my filebrowser doesn’t have a “execute this file” option in my right click and double clicking does… nothing? Certainly doesn’t give me a popup with either confirmation or error message.

I’m game to try a few more things, so if you have suggestions what I should try, please tell me.

I’m on xubuntu.

It’s not “bad news”, it’s “negative noise”. Most of the time, reading about any singular instance or event does not actually inform people outside of the US.
