OpenSuse is essentially free marketing for SUSE, nobody would know them otherwise
I’ve been working for big enterprises for many years, SUSE is used in enterprise environment to run SAP systems because it’s recommended by SAP, OpenSuse has nothing to do with that.

It’s not only the game industry unfortunately, it’s every industry everywhere.
It’s public trading - and all the financial speculations around it - that ruins companies, forcing them to earn more and spend less year after year, and when they have nothing else left to cut, they start cutting the workforce, with all the bad repercussions Swen described, like loss of institutional knowledge for example.
It’s a financial model that’s totally unsustainable, noone can grow indefinitely, they should change the way companies are valued, not looking at quarterly profits but a number of other parameters like respect for the environment for example, security, financial stability, things like that.
It won’t happen tho so the only option today to be a good company is avoiding public trading, not many entrepreneurs are smart enough, or unselfish enough, to do it.
What CA are you getting your certificates from?
If Let’s Encrypt, have you checked their alternative methods to certbot?
I never had to touch anything in uBlock Origin, not even once, I just have to remember to check for updates every now and then. I see some people saying sometimes they still get ads on youtube, not sure if it’s youtube testing new targeting, but I’ve never seen ads on YT anyway, I guess I’m not interesting enough to them XD
Regulating doesn’t mean blocking, AI needs to be regulated, it should have been already done, look at stuff like deep fakes, some done even with dead people, fakes with actors faces and voices without their consent, and so on, it’s not just about training, it’s also about how the results are effectively used.
And the fact the training is expensive doesn’t mean everyone should have free reign about it, especially when noone cares about the reliability of the datasets they’re using, of the ethical aspects of it.
As for reddit, we’ve been already shafted, that’s why we’re on lemmy now.
On our company PCs we have both Edge and Chrome, after the latest Windows update a few days ago, every time I try to set Chrome as default browser, a window pops up saying something on the lines of “are you sure? please try out the fabulous Edge first, you might change your mind”.
That annoys me to no end, first we are in EU, where Microsoft has been fined in the past for not allowing a browser choice, second, we’re talking about Windows ENTERPRISE !!, keep that shit out of it, policies on PCs are decided at enterprise level, you can’t spam users about it.
Appending reddit to google search has become the only way to get meaningful search results, without it it’s a shitshow of clickbait garbage, I can’t imagine what it will become if it’s not allowed anymore to index reddit data.
I understand companies not wanting data to be scraped for AI training for free, it’s not only reddit according to the article, also news sites, I think it’s a legit concern.
I believe at this point governments should wake up and regulate the matter of AI training globally, leaving it to individual companies will only damage users all over the world.
I don’t think so.
I mean, when I was a kid, personal computers didn’t exist, we used to play some tabletops but they’ve never been my favorite form of entertainment, I find them too slow.
That’s not to say I would never do it, if I’m in a group of friends and they all want to play it (so far it’s been usually Risiko), I would join them, but I wouldn’t look for it on purpose.
I have 180 hours. First playthrough was learning DnD rules and mechanics (I knew nothing about it before), I started on the easiest setting, got up to act 3 but I missed a lot of stuff and I wasn’t satisfied so I restarted on normal.
I finished the game on normal, tho I rushed act 3 a bit because I wanted to see the end of the story. Then I started a dark urge run, still at the very beginning, I’ll probably get additional 100+ hours by the end of it XD.
It is, Astarion explains it pretty well, he says that a spawn is not able to bite the master unless the master allows it, and that basically never happens because the master would lose a slave in favor of a competitor.
My tav is fighter, companions are:
I’m pretty satisfied with this setup tho I’m probably missing stuff on the 4th slot so next playthrough I’ll use the no party limit mod to see how good or bad my “instinct” is XD
Won’t you miss the amazing dialog you get if you bring Wyll with you?
Not the best, but one that made me laugh hard, Astarion after recruiting Laezel: Laezel is nice, in a “look at me twice and I’ll dismember you” way.
Astarion is hilarious in general.
Performance improvements was one of the main points of this patch.
Gosh I didn’t know that, thank you! Now I can take my time exploring without fretting about the grove being exterminated lol.
Ah ok.
I simply assumed it wouldn’t work because that’s the case with like 99% of steam games
That’s because the vast majority of games implement DRM unfortunately, BG3 does not, Witcher doesn’t either, any game that does not have any DRM can be played fine outside of Steam, tho there are not many.
DRMs are not Steam doing, it’s game devs.
You can do that with the gog version.
You can do that with Steam too, I know because I’m doing it. I have dual boot, I use Windows very rarely (I play on Linux) so Steam is not installed on it at all, I copied BG3 on it to try out mods because Mod Manager doesn’t work on wine for me.
I can assure you the game works perfectly fine without Steam.
With the steam version it’ll try to launch / connect to the local installed steam at startup
As you sure you’re using the right exe? bg3_dx11.exe and not some launcher?
thought resolving the Grove stuff was time-sensitive
Wait, is it not? Don’t they all die killed by goblins if you wait too much to kill the leaders in the goblin camp?
Many years ago at work, when PCs started to spread, I taught a 60 years old lady how to use one. She never saw a PC before yet she learned pretty well, and I saw much younger people not learning.
Being willing to learn doesn’t depend on age, it’s a mindset, either you have it or you don’t, and if you do have it, it will last your entire life.
