Valve is paying for FOSS support https://www.igalia.com/2025/11/helpingvalve.html

They, as far as I’m aware, are not reselling like private equity would. They actually take over operations and get ROI through profits.

Thanks. Yeah, increasing revenue generation by increasing monetization is definitely part of their MO.

Can you explain more what and how they ruined something for you? So far I haven’t heard of any real negative change to the applications themselves.

Don’t have a link to the thread on Mastodon, but it was only in Singapore. So it is likely a troll or some glitch.

As of a few weeks ago, a lot of ChatGpt logs got leaked via search indexing. So privacy was never really a concern for OpenAI, let’s be real.

And it doesn’t matter what they think what type of platform they run. Altman himself talks about it replacing therapy and how it can do everything. So in a reasonable world he’d have ungodly, personal liability for this shit. But let’s see were it will go.

And that human would go to jail

Seems a bit jaded tbh. Safari devs were giving tentative support, iirc Mozilla was also down to deprecate further. If you always listened to every user you’d drown in tech debt. Some stuff just isn’t worth it even if 0.5% love that feature.

It is now two years old but this video sums up the challenges faced by Helion and how it is unlikely that they will get anywhere. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3vUPhsFoniw

Well China did subsidize that industry massively, to a point were their domestic market is flooded with very low margins. So the market is already very distorted. But I find it hard to hate on that because flooding the market with electric vehicles and solar panels is better than anything economists are coming up with.

That disregards the massive advancement in technology, hindsight, tooling and theory they can make use of now. There is a world of difference there even with the same hardware. So not comparable imo, it wasn’t for a lack of effort on Nintendo’s part.

I think more like was done all the time for console games. These days that doesn’t happen as much anymore as far as I know. But I think this shows that CUDA is not a good enough abstraction for modern GPUs or the compilers are not as good as expected. There should be no way they got that much optimization out of hand written/optimized code these days.

Well I don’t know what there USP is in world where OneDrive/Google Drive/iCloud exist. And there future plan is a focus on AI, so yeah, goodbye Dropbox is my guess

If AI is only a “parrot” as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that “AI” is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn’t researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with “AI safety” as part of “Alignment”). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make “AI”/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/“AI”. Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.

No, why would I address anything of any subtly or nuance if you cannot even agree to the most basic facts. Facts backed up by your own source?

All you have done so far is back pedal when I try to follow your reasoning. So, please come back to me if you are able to critique anything at all about Putin or Russia. Until then it is a waste of time talking to you.

I see, it happens, apology accepted :)

Well since you love fallacies so much I will overlook your appeal to authority and just quote the guy, who ever the heck he is.

This is not to deny, of course, that Russia invaded Ukraine and started the war.

So yeah. What else did I claim when I said that Putin is directly responsible for the war?

Please enlighten me how I defended anyone’s actions in Yugoslavia or even mentioned anything about that conflict at all.

Rational analysis, where you are incapable of addressing any wrong doing of the one person that declared an offensive war? Please attack me personally instead of acknowledging that maybe it is not so good to march into your neighbors territory and bomb their cities. But you do you. I’m sure you have your reasons.
