aluminium,

Powershell, but heavily customized.

aluminium,

He reads article or forum thread. Thats it.

aluminium,

A CPU instruction set that is governed by the RISC V International organization, a nonprofit organization which also holds all the RISC V related trademarks.

It has nothing to do with open source really, it is a open standard that anyone can create compatible products for and those products can also be sold commercially.

Really the difference is that the organization verifying your that your CPU correctly follows the instruction set so you can sell it as such, has no profit motive, unlike ARM or Intel/AMD who either outright block any meaningful competition in the case of x86 or want a nice share of the money your gonna make in the case of ARM. Not to mention that ARM and Intel/AMD sell their own CPUs, so there is a big conflict of intressts going on.

aluminium,

No, open source means that its public HOW something is done, down to every single line of code (along a lot of other things when it comes to licensing, redistribution, … but thats not the main point)

With a open standard its public WHAT something is doing, but HOW its achieved can be public or not.

To give you a example, HTML is a open standard for displaying Webpages. Somewhere its defined that when a <button> element is found, the browser has to render a button which looks a certain way behaves a certain way when interacting with the mouse, keyboard, javascript, css … . This is WHAT your browser needs to do.

But HOW you do it is up to each browser. Do you use the CPU or GPU to render it? Do you first draw the border, then the text or the other way around? It doesn’t matter to the standard as long as the end result complies with the spec.

With open source browsers like chromium and firefox it is public HOW they are implementing this feature, down every line of code.

With a proprietary browser like Internet Explorer which follows (or rather followed) the same open standard nobody knows HOW they are implementing it. We only know that the end result is adhering to the HTML Standard.

The hardware equivalent it would be someone releasing the exact schematics of for example a RISC V CPU where somebody could see HOW they implement the specifications of the Architecture and where someone could without much hassle go to a Manufacturer and get the chip into production or make modifications.

aluminium,

Bruh, another game that has been remastered in twice.

Looking to get into android development

I want to start learning android dev and I understand that I’ll need the android sdk and cli tools. I want to try it in a kvm because even though it is open source, I would like to keep it separate from my main system. Which distro and vm settings do you suggest I use? Any other tips or your experience with android development...

aluminium,

I used garuda for a while when doing Android stuff and was really surprised that a lot of things like adb, fastboot and all the filetransfer stuff was working out of the box without even having to setup any android sdk, drivers, … . Not really a distrohopper however, so I can’t tell you if this is a common feature on other distros.

aluminium,

5$ for less than a half liter. My lord…

aluminium,

Oh, I see.

aluminium,

2015 Tablet specs with 2012 CPU cores at the helm. Yay.

aluminium,

No shit. PC these days is also less annoying than a console. Like I don’t need to renew a stupid subscription to play online and I have way less unskipable updates under Windows than a console.

aluminium,

Anyone remembers the In-Game Billboards in their older racing games like NFS and Burnout?

aluminium,

You haven’t missed much

aluminium,

neat. I think ads CAN be done right, but it sure is a fine line.

aluminium,

Depends on the genere. I think a very immersive game like Metro Exodus benefits a lot from its graphics and wouldn’t work quite as well without them.

aluminium,

Now? Bro should have been gone since he came up with the “BuT ReDFalL HAd GooD inTERnaL ReVieWS!” crap after crying a bunch around.

aluminium,

You close Tango the developers behind your only recent good game, but keep 343 open. Ok Phil.

aluminium,

Xbox is a reverse midas. Everything they touch turns into shit.

aluminium,

Nothing at the moment, I’d wait for the Nvidia RTX 5000 and AMD RX8000 cards. They should release later this year.

aluminium,

Origins from BO2 - The game

aluminium,

Make the 7700 XT 350$ and adjust the reset of the stack accordingly, problem solved. At this point you’d actually be offering a noticible better value than Nvidia.

aluminium,

MiUi for sure

aluminium,

yeah, also the constant wait times when you install APK… it used to be a decent OS but starting with MiUi 11 they started really enshitifiying big time.

aluminium,

Never - they are a reverse midas. Everything they touch turns into shit.

aluminium,

Maybe that fact that nearly all first party games mid at best, you still have to pay a monthly fee for multiplayer games, the terrible UI and the fact that 1TB of extra harddrive space costs 200€ have something to do with it?

aluminium,

I get why publishers want their own launcher, steams’ 30% cut is insane, but why not split the savings 50/50?

aluminium,

Seems very modest for the most powerful positon on earth

aluminium,

no I’m from austria.

aluminium,

3 coffees, 3h sleep, 0 breakfast, 0 launch. Thats the live

aluminium,

No x86 is pretty much the only Platfrom I’m aware of where you can build a generic Kernel that will work with pretty much any hardware configuration out of the box.

aluminium,

Wow, I only discovered it 2 years ago but its indeed a great Software.

aluminium,

Why not? If you jump in now and get a deck you get better, more up to date hardware, as it should be. Also with a better chip its probably up to you if you want to use that to chase higher FPS and graphics or longer battery life.

aluminium,

Probably not what you wanna hear but a Galaxy Tab S6 with Termux, Dex and Keyboard is pretty great.

aluminium,

Go to Sjewjerodonezk to claim a free deck

aluminium,

Might as well allow me to install a other OS at this point

aluminium,

POV : You are overpriced artisional consumer product that has been locally produced.

aluminium,

Imagine walking to the beach

aluminium,

I’m more concerned that the web will get even slower and bloated. We are already seeing the first frameworks that ship a webassembly .NET runtime, Python runtime, JVM, … . I kinda fear that in 10 years when you visit a site you need to download runtime xyz in version abc for the 1000th time. All because some people or companies just can not be bothered to learn any new technology.

aluminium,

Looks like a giant Samsung phone.

aluminium,

Any App that shows any ads gets deleted right on the spot. Simple as that.

aluminium,

I 100% agree.

Love it or hate it, Android is extremly fast, polished, stable and easy to use, not to mention it has gigantic library apps that are built to work perfectly with a touchscreen.

I honestly don’t really get what there is to gain by using “Desktop Linux”. I mean sure some proper Programs offer way more features than Apps but using them on a 6.5" Touchscreen sounds like pain.

aluminium,

Sounds a lot like the Android 4.X and 2.X days. Its unfortunate that Google over time has locked down Android more and more. I mean having the option to do wild stuff is better than not having it.

The only real usecase I could see is with a proper Desktop Mode like DEX on High end Samsung phones or Motorola’s ready for. Where you can plug your phone into a Monitor and attach a physical keyboard and mouse. In that case, yeah it would be neat to break out of the Android jail.

Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been ‘mostly negative.’...

aluminium,

This game also brilliantly exposed how easily certain YouTubers get corrupted.

aluminium,

The UK - nah they are too weak and small. But I could see a world where a U.S. leader claims that they are the successor state to the british empire and thus have the right to reclaim the land.

aluminium,

We need more funny architecture

aluminium,

yes

aluminium, (edited )

They made the logo more complicated and playfull. Is the long awaited counter-trend train to ultimate minimalism finally leaving the station? I certainly can’t wait!

aluminium,

I’ll wait anyway. And I’m most definitly not gonna preorder after the mega fail that was the GTA Trillogy.

aluminium,

Ok, I think you got a point there.

But Franklin is a very plain yes man character.
