For personal projects you can either just use git locally or make them source-available with a restrictive license. If you don’t even want the source to be available then why use a public repo?

It’s a tool for the owners, it’s a trap for the users. The sycophancy and malleability of the chatbots makes them not just unsuitable as replacements for therapists, they can be and often are actively harmful, validating problematic, spiraling or psychotic thought patterns.

I know that therapy isn’t accessible for everyone, but any actual human you can talk to is better than a chat bot in this context.

I would rather someone vibe code critical infrastructure with a chat bot than use it for mental health.

No one should be using a corporate chat bot to “figure out who they are”.

Chatbots? Basically nothing. Any interaction I have with one leads to spending more time verifying its output, inevitably finding many mistakes, and eventually finding a primary source for what I’m actually looking for. The best actual impact it has is forcing me to narrow down my nebulous question into what I actually specifically want, but the bot itself is contributing very little to that.

Neutral nets in general have limited real usefulness in analyzing large batches of data when other purpose-built analysis software doesn’t exist.

“AI” is a misnomer and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that we’re even on a path toward actual AI, sometimes called AGI, though they’re also changing that to just mean a profitable LLM which is fucking hilarious.

Any task you use a bot to do, you will become worse at that task. For mass data analysis, that’s fine, poring over reams of data is already a skill that other technology has largely obsoleted. But using it to do research, to read or write for you, or god forbid to make actual decisions and think for you, are very slippery slopes that are already causing a lot of the general public to seriously erode their basic mental capabilities.

That is literally because they don’t have the missile range. I also assume they have far less warheads stockpiled.

Wow no one’s said emacs yet

Have you ever used Linux?

You seem very misinformed so I’m just providing you with resources.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope

Getting hung up on feature parity with Windows and Mac is both a waste of time and literally impossible given the major differences between those two UIs. KDE already does most of that legwork anyway, and you can disable middle click paste easily.

IMO your time would be best spent making GUI tooling that doesn’t already exist. Identify a pain point for you that forces you to the terminal and start there.

On many distros it is.

Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.

You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?

There’s really no reason to use it on a general purpose desktop. It’s designed to basically make a PC into a console. You do still have full access to the (mostly) normal Linux system behind it, but it’s not something I’d use unless I was setting it up for someone who didn’t want to deal with any of the behind the scenes stuff.

CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite all should get you the same level of gaming support with more flexibility as a normal OS, and they can all run Steam Big Picture which is basically the SteamOS UI.

It is and it isn’t. There’s a ton of tech waste and lots of people get rid of systems that are still quite capable. Obviously there’s less power but even a 6 year old gaming rig can still run most games, just at lower framerates

They’re designed to run constantly, and your GPU is designed to run with some heat. I highly doubt you’re maxing out either like you would with a demanding game. Fans are much cheaper than a new separate device, and your GPU will become outdated long before it dies to wear and tear.

Literally all of the arguments in this post apply equally to people freshly out of high school, except that most of them won’t have well-paying jobs already. But then again, if an adult has a well-paying job why are they thinking about going back to school?

Why will using your PC “run it into the ground”? Unless you’re trying to use it for something else simultaneously, it seems like you’ve already got a solution there.

To be fair trial and error and RNG are just par for the course with classic roguelikes, but learning how to manage all that is part of the appeal. Nethack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are probably the two best-supported old classic roguelikes out there. Honorable mentions for Dwarf Fortress, which basically abandoned its roguelike mode in favor of a fortress simulator, and UnReal world, which is a weird outdoor primitive survival game that’s a testament to one man’s obsession.

There are also more modern offerings like Tales of Maj’Eyal, Caves of QUD, and Dungeons of Dredmor that are fully faithful roguelikes with either more modern graphics or QOL upgrades.
