Comment Re:Upgrading to Linux (Score 2) 116

I don't have the same luck. I have a RTX 3060 (NVidia) video card, it doesn't play well with Proton and Bazzite (AFAIK). Also, the games I play the most have anti-cheat software, which again doesn't run on Linux.
I had to accept privacy invasion and log on Windows 10 with a MS account and setup backup, which game me one more year of security updates. Let's see what happens until then, maybe these problems would be solved (go go Wine/Proton devs!) or maybe I dual-boot Win 10 just for gaming these Windows-only games.
I'm not even a Linux guy, as I think Windows is (was, until 10) much more friendly and "just works" than Linux. I played with Linux occasionally, nice and good but hard UI/UX, compatibility issues and Linux nerds (yup, they're hateful) drove me out of it.
But Win 11 is cancer. It sucks so hard it's the first time I'm really considering migrating 100% to Linux, with all it's problems.
I'll resist Win 11 as much as I can. I'd only use it (dual boot for gaming only) if someone make a hacked version of it, with all the BS/spyware/bloat cut-off.

Check out Meltwater Pulses 1a and 1b.

Just did, from what I've read, MWP 1a took around 500 years to happen, 1b took even more. Not as fast as what's happening nowadays, nature had more time to adapt.
But I'd not even compare both events to the global temperature rising which is currently happening, they're different phenomena. Global temperature rise is more troubling, and this rhythm is, AFAIK, unprecedented.

Climate change never happened before fossil fuels.

It did happened before, but not on this scale and speed.
And not while knowing why it's happening and what to do to at least to mitigate it.
And not with so many people ignoring the problem and betting on doing nothing.

Comment The only reason (Score 2) 19

The only reason I see it's legitimate to revive this Chernobyl-level disaster of a game is... historical reasons.
Sure there are plenty of videos showing how the game was, but there's this thing with videogames, no video can replace hands-on gaming.
And this game is such an infamous chapter of videogame history I think it's a good thing someone keep it somehow playable.
OTOH, RIP The Crew, a good game that hadn't such fortune.

It's not like a Uber driver would like to make a lifelong career out of that. So they'd train their future robotic ov, err, substitutes for a few dollars more, no problem.
But yeah, it looks pretty dystopic.
On the other hand, I doubt automated delivery would succeed, there already experiences that automated delivery vehicles constantly malfunction, get stuck, get vandalized/robbed, etc.
Waymo taxis already cause trouble in dead-end streets and other atypical scenarios.

Comment They're just buying artist's support (Score 1) 144

They're just buying artist's support for their agenda, whatever it is. With taxpayer's money, of course, not theirs (LOL).
And why artists? Well, they're natural influencers, digital or analog, since ever. They're really good at it, in fact they're the best electoral campaigners money can buy, bonus points if it's with other's money.
Actually it's a pretty classic move, at least in very corrupt countries like mine.
