Spot on. This is Biden’s policy extended. We’ve been a slow rollout in the recession for years. It’s just affecting more people now.

At least Dems and the media will acknowledge a bad economy under a Republican president.

I’m looking through my comment, and I can’t imagine what you would interpret as undue stress or emotion.

K. And what massive vulnerabilities have been introduced by that? I’ve seen no articles or sources backing that claim.

Sure. It risks introducing vulnerabilities. It needs to be implemented very carefully. I think a built in version, with security in mind, is a lower risk than relying on users to implement their own solution, and risk them picking the wrong one or setting it up incorrectly.

Every user convenience introduces vulnerabilities. The users are the weakest link in every system. It’s a balancing act, and one I don’t think Linux has never balanced well for usability. But server core has shown there’s no reason for the service to be on by default. There’s much more dangerous Linux features that are switched on by default configs, like root logins and password authentication, so let’s not pretend Linux has ever taken a hard line on this.

I understand where a lot of the opposition to AI comes from. I get it. But when you’re so deep in the opposition that you’re saying it’ll never do thing that it’s already doing, you’re obviously just pushing an agenda without facts backing it up.

This is like arguing calculators sully math, because it should be done with an abacus.

I mean, it’s a tv app. I kinda feel like it’s on the developer of the app if their feature can’t be used without a touch interface or keyboard.

But my biggest reason for using Steam link is couch play from my computer in the other room. And Steam link allows you to emulate keyboard and mouse from the controller.

Respect.

Yeah, I know suggesting UI and user experience improvements spooks Linux diehards.

The biggest issue for me was their tvOS app. If you can’t tap the screen with three fingers, you can’t bring up alternate controls when you run into a problem.

No need to discuss it in future tense. There’s already mods that incorporate AI into Skyrim NPC’s. It’s impressive as hell.

I’ve gotten it working plenty of times. Still doesn’t hold a candle to RDP.

I actually just tried moonlight/sunshine this past week for gaming, and I was disappointed. The interface is missing critical components that Steam link has. Makes it almost useless unless you have a keyboard attached in many cases.

But I hadn’t thought of using it for Remote Desktop into Linux. Sounds a lot better than No Machine. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, I know. Same on Windows Server Core I believe, but the option is in there to enable it.

I admit I don’t know the technical details well enough. But I know the user experience difference is ridiculously bad trying to remote into Linux. My workflow now is mostly using my tablet and remoting. If Linux had better Remote Desktop protocol, it’d also be my go-to for a desktop experience. Right now, if I can’t use the terminal app for something, I’d rather just remote into a Windows box than feel like I’m using a computer from the 90’s with Linux Remote Desktop options.

That’s also my go-to on Linux, but it’s still clunky as hell compared to RDP.

The protocol, yes.

I just wish both these platforms would get some modern remote desktop support built in. Remoting into Mac/linux vs Windows desktops feels like dealing with tech from completely different time periods.

Thank god most of my Linux remote work is ssh on the cli.

I’m imagining a sci-fi spin on this where AI generators are used to keep AI crawlers in a loop, and they accidentally end up creating some unique AI culture or relationship in the process.

It’s not the tool that’s the problem. It’s the capitalists controlling it.

The luddites didn’t oppose technology just for the sake of it. They opposed the use of it to displace workers. And there is absolutely a role for AI in all this that doesn’t involve anyone losing their jobs, if we can change who is in control of it.

Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done with the tech to make each person’s experience unique, with bespoke quests and dialogue. Maybe one day playing a game like Skyrim for 10 years doesn’t have to mean playing the same quests over and over. It’ll be cool comparing how our playthroughs differ from each other, as the AI changes the game to suit each person.

This is so disappointing. So much wasted energy, so Bernie & AOC can do as they always do and redirect activism to the party to die.

I hope at least this helps people make connections, and realize how strong our numbers really are.

We don’t need the party, and we don’t need to wait til elections to get this boot off of our neck. We can overwhelm with our numbers, and put a stop to this now.
