Do you remember this technology news site? It was recently sold to an AI slop generator. Martin, the author of ghacks, said he'll post on chipp.in now. It's still sad. ghacks was my main tech news site in like 2010, and now it's over. What are your favorite technology news sources?
>>107739357as far as i remember. wouldn't ghacks has been sold for long time ago? you said recently which company bough it?
>>107739357Were they any good?
>>107739415Yes, it was sold to Softonic in 2019, but no one clicked on their malware links or installed their adware. They sold it a month ago to a "digital specialist who has worked with computers for over six years and is obsessed with PC gaming and AI tools.">>107739455Yes, but it gone downhill since 2019.
>>107739357Quality of posts on that site went downhill the moment he sold it to pajeets
how the fuck is it so fast
>>107738945You think lunix is better?
>>107738055?? its slowhas to recache all new files every time you open it
>>107740149>recache all new files every time you open itskills issue, run it as a service and let it do it's thing
>>107740209sooo..... like windows search? lmao
>>107740227>like windows searchthats what it was designed to replace, so yes.
>A fix was merged recently to the XWayland code to avoid sending incorrect pointer coordinates to X11 clients on pointer enter events, namely around the cursor/input returning to an XWayland window. The patch now ensures that the pointer sprite coordinates are correctly updated when the pointer enters an XWayland window.https://www.phoronix.com/news/XWayland-Pointer-Enter-CorrectThis is what you people are using?
>>107740141Yeah, this kind of shit is why I lost complete faith in the Linux desktop. Sometimes I do wish I was a 100.000x developer that could get a distro done in one month. I would build a distro with win32 as userland. and an NT layer ontop of the linux kernel to make it more accurate, boom we have the solution.
>>107740141Jannies should get rid of all bot posts. /g/ fucking sucks it's all either AI coomers or thing bad spam.
>>107740218They'd be better served getting rid of phoneposters whining "bot post" every time their brain feels upset at what they've seen

Is anybody here able to get any of the edit models to properly edit only the breasts in an image to be smaller or flat, preferably while keeping the outfit the same? I've tried a lot of different prompts with varying levels of detail, but nothing seems to work. Making breasts bigger is easy, but it seems like you can't really do the opposite.

>>107735671"just buy more hardware" shouldn't be the solution for this. Linux just werks, until it doesn't because the maintainers forgot/refused to include software? that's an oversight, and plenty of distros are guilty of this

It's never coming out. He has been in the cuts with this specifically since the first time that Trump was in office and he now looks like a 58 year old backup guitarist for a Rush coverband. Him and Casey who I'm not sure is going to be able to finish that came before he starts collecting old age security.

hes gaining weight he looks like alex jones

>>107735826He talks too much. He's mega insecure like most game devs in general but he's practically at the limit of it. He's found his hole and he's not getting out of it. Put this guy in a legacy php/java/C++ codebase written by retards and he collapses in max a week.
>>107733422the funny thing is you can tell he's mellowed out on that. Nowadays he says "Just use Unity if you're making your first game because games take fucking fover to make" and "vibe coding is okay if it helps you get things done more efficiently". This project broke him.
Give your best recommendations for libraries to create and edit PDFs. Is there anything out there good at handling complex flow and formatting, especially cross-page text flow, without resorting to LaTeX?

>>107731743It's made by gamers for gamers, not some corporate slop like epic, xbox, ea, ubisoft, etc. That means you have features gamers want with only enough restrictions to not piss off developers and moral busybodies.Others:- Itch.io and GOG don't have DRM so it's less appealing to devs.- Xbox and Epic are not trustworthy because they censor too much and are sketchy for devs with free games, games as a service, no Linux support, etc.- EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard stores have the same problems as Xbox and Epic but worse and are limited to their games.That leaves with only Steam being appealing to gamers and devs despite the flaws.
They still want $150 for one of these things, even after all these years.
>>107723564>better user experience.this is precisely why I use a physical calculator>>107734530I don't need more power. I want something that makes it very simple to get the answer I want very quickly. For 90% of small computations I can pick up my cheap casio and get the answer in less time that it would take to open excel or start r studio and dismiss the annoying update popup or launch windows' awful webshit calculator app.If I need repeatability or documentation or to do something with lots of data or calculate something that I need the specialist software to do I'll get out the big guns but a lot of the time I don't and the calculator is just better.

There exists some merit in purpose built machines. Also the ENG button on my 991EX is a blessingThis my personal opinion but it's cool to have a pocket math machine that will work essentially forever, unless my retarded ass forgot the battery in and it leaked.
Have you ever considered the possibility that some day normal consumer won't be able to afford a computer anymore?With GPU and RAM price increases, this nightmare scenario seems likely.Wireless Internet connections might also get so full of traffic that one day fast Internet will be a luxury as well.1. Give people cheap tech so they get dependent on it.2. When they're addicted, start ramping up the price + scarcity3. WinMe? I'm already learning ways to survive without technology. In a few years you might have to live without tech.
>>107739312Even if all the costs 2x, computer hardware will still be relatively affordable unless you replace the whole computer every couple years.People will adapt by keeping their rigs for longer or will sacrifice on a bit of performance, but I don't see PCs going away completely unless the cost difference between them and cloud computing is huge.Urban normies will probably gladly pay for a 500 bucks or so terminal with a 20-30 buck subscription though. Hell, they already paid that for a console + internet subscription.
>>107739312So long as they do stupid shit like putting an embedded processor into e-vapes, i think i'll be fine.
>>107739923>Even if all the costs 2x, computer hardware will still be relatively affordableI wouldnt pay 5k for a computer. I simply wouldn't.All I do is browse the Internet and play old games.
none of this is possible with proper anti-trust laws that promote healthy competition. donald cheeto is a fucking corrupt moron though so who knows.
