Comment Re:do they have the USB logo on the system? (Score 1) 68

Not sure if it counts because the wifi is only used for peer-to-peer connections with other Nintendos or Nintendo servers. There's no stock web browser or generic media players or such in the store and no way to connect to unlicensed 3rd-party applications or make generic ad-hoc data transfers of any sort, so it might be arguably still a closed ecosystem.

Comment Re:Meanwhile, I expect 0 minutes of Ads and Traile (Score 1) 174

To be fair, AMC tickets are usually the cheapest of all the still existing major theater chains by far. I'm sure that by doing this they're just trying to balance the budget. Don't forget that not long ago they were about to have to close their doors permanently until they were saved at the 11th hour by a meme-stock craze. Will it work? Who knows... but I'm sure you can still find more expensive theaters showing fewer trailers.

Comment Re:Why is 32bit needed? (Score 5, Informative) 61

Nobody makes or sells 32-bit systems anymore, but despite this many people make and sell 32-bit games, or (even worse) games that require a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Because of this, Wine and Proton have to also do the same thing, and the basic development culture of doing this even infected the Linux Steam client itself, which requires a mix of at least some of both types of libraries as a bridge to graphics drivers and certain system libraries. Even current 64-bit copies of Windows still keep and maintain a set of 32-bit libraries and general compatibility because Windows developers seemingly can't be arsed to figure out the difference. Gentoo made this change a couple years ago and it pretty much ended their consideration as a gaming distro overnight, and as far as I understand it, the Gentoo leadership did this specifically to isolate themselves from the gaming crowd and their contingent support requests. It would be pretty dumb for Fedora to do the same unless they were expecting the same results, but I can't speak for their leadership's intentions or awareness in this matter.

Comment Re:CEOs gonna CEO (Score 1) 30

Keep in mind that shortly after that all happened, we discovered these assholes were short-selling their own stock while purposefully trying to drive their own company out of business for a quicker short-term cash-out. They don't give a fuck what those investors (mostly kids who were their primary customers, spending a few dollars of allowance money naively thinking they'd be lauded as heroes by the company) think and in fact they resent them. I, for one, hope this fucker just loses interest and sells the company at a loss to someone who gives a shit about the economy.

Now you're anthropomorphising a piece of software while trying to mischaracterize my argument as being against the software rather than the company of the same name that created said software; this is both stupid and dishonest, which is about what I've come to expect from you AI fanatics.

Oh no! Your shitty attempt to muddle the definition of the relevant list of participants has completely derailed the moral compass of the entire discussion! I guess now we'll all have to just let this rampant automated theft and plagiarism continue unabated! Oh well! /sarcasm

Midjourney, the ones being sued currently, are clearly the ones who should pay, and you're a shitty person for even making this argument.

Additionally, in the odd case where DPI auto-detect fails catastrophically in Xorg, you can still just manually specify it and then everything works correctly again. The fact that large swathes of users who don't know this are demanding Xorg be completely discarded over it says everything about them.
