I tried mint and had some issues with nvidia drivers, which seemed out of the ordinary since other people were fine with it. I tried PopOS next and it was fine (Bottles had some issues but games through Steam or Heroic worked out of the box basically).

If its by the developer of NPxSB why not just update that one, or am I misunderstanding something in the title?

Sure, but nothing is theoretically stopping them from documenting every single data source input into the training module and then crediting it later.

For some reason they didn’t want to do that of course.

Valve’s Proton is open source but is it also free to use and distribute in commercial software? Cuz if so, there’d be nothing stopping GOG or Epic from implementing it already, they don’t need this project at all

Sounds like this would be easier to setup and use than Lutris though - dunno about everyone else but I’m always so very confused trying to get non-steam games running on linux, with all the custom paths, simulated folder structures and prefixes while steam apparently does it on its own out of the box.

I can still see the value in owning it in this shitty climate however - maybe I want to keep the patent just so I can distribute it freely instead of someone else staking their claim on it and then charging people for the same thing?

Someone else is imprinting their definition

I mean yeah, that’s how words work? AA has the meaning because a bunch of people imprinted their meaning on it.

Open source has a meaning because a bunch of people imprinted their meaning on it too, it has no relevance to actual words “open” or “source”. The issue is that other people are now imprinting their own meaning on it and muddling it instead of following the existing meaning or coming up with their own terminology.

I think the only thing we’re missing is the official OSI definition for open-source-for-reading-but-not-modifying so we don’t use the same name as for the open-source-for-reading-and-modifying code? The issue seems that we don’t have OSI-defined names for both, just for one, so people started misusing it unknowingly while the businesses misused it maliciously.

Am I understanding correctly and this is truly FOSS and fully offline, there’s no remote server or model we have to connect to? What was the model trained on? I’m really curious but I also don’t want to support proprietary unethical data sourcing.

Muddying the waters is the oldest trick in the books, big corporations have even started doing it with “indie” games - Dave the Diver is stylized and marketed as an indie game despite being developed by a division of a multi-billion company Nexon.

I definitely have an issue with it as well, it’s really hard to say whether something is actually FOSS nowadays or not, and whether it can be taken away or acquired by someone else down the line. That could be my fault as well since I never bothered to learn about the licenses beyond what MIT / Apache2 are, and even those I understand superficially.

There should absolutely be more pushback for things like these though.

Fediverse in general really needs to adopt the multireddit approach to feed categories, or in other worlds let us group them properly. Sometimes I want to see news, sometimes I want to hear from some content creators and other times I might want to see what my friends are up to. Keeping it all in one feed (even worse if it’s just chronological) is just a terrible way of handling it.

Dunno if lists are quite that but maybe we’re finally moving towards it at least.

Oh, so he’s just talking about DLSS3 features, gotchya. I thought DLSS 1 performance improvements are also frame generation but I see now thats different

Wait, DLSS doesn’t work on Linux at all? That’s a pretty big thing to gloss over whenever someone is talking about linux gaming and how comparable it is to windows nowadays. I doubt I’d be able to get anything remotely close to a stable framerate on cyberpunk2077 without it, and same goes for other newer games like dying light 2 or starfield!

Yeah sorry I wasn’t clear enough. Basically if you liked the base game, DLC is more of it. If you didnt I dont think it’s gonna do much for you. I’m only a few hours into the DLC but it’s been pretty great so far, but then again I loved most of the core game as well. Worth 30 for me.

Id say 2.0 is worth it alone and all content in PL is icing on the cake, but everyone has a different definition of worth. Some people paid a hundred bucks for starfield for example and I’ll never understand it. I also find it hard to argue against PL since no other game really fits this niche so I’m happy with any extra content we can get.
