  • It worked for me out of the box with no config changes (ubuntu 24.10, wayland, nvidia 565 driver), but there are some comments on protondb about it crashing if you have an integrated graphics card in your machine.

    Suggested solutions there are either disable the integrated graphics card in bios, or use -preferNvidia launch option (presumably only if you actually have an nvidia card, but no idea, can’t test myself).






  • It’s a joke (from the author of the article and not a quote from Zuckerberg). Usually in the format of “xyz will continue until morale improves”, where xyz is something that is likely to reduce morale, thus implying that xyz will continue indefinitely.

    In this case the morale is of those forced to consume meta’s ai slop, i.e facebook users.

    An alternate worded headline would be: “AI content will continue on Facebook regardless of whether users like it”.



  • Defining something as “art” or “not art” seems a rather simplistic worldview.

    Does art need to be “appreciated by anyone” to be “art”, is art only what is popular, or simplistic enough to be understood by a mass audience?

    Is stencilling over/tagging a banksy vandalism, or is it a making a statement on the middle class hypocrisy of its widespread acceptance of street works from one author and the derision of others?

    Which of these are “art” or “not art”…

    • banksy later tagging his own work
    • banksy later tagging his own work but not claiming authorship
    • banksy later tagging his own work, but publicly saying someone else did it, and that he doesn’t approve
    • someone else tagging banksy’s work, and banksy publicly saying that he approves
    • banksy stencilling over the mona lisa (on the actual paint)
    • banksy stencilling on the outside wall of fallingwater
    • banksy stencilling something regarded as offensive by some people
    • banksy stencilling something you like on the front of your house
    • banksy stencilling something you don’t like on the front of your house, but is widely liked by others
    • somebody else stencilling the same thing on the front of your house

    Seems like the rules for what is/isn’t art could be quite complicated. There would be endless possible scenarios to judicate on. Not to mention, who gets to decide? Popular vote, experts, the owner of the substrate?

    Much simpler to let art be undefined and interpretable however one wishes.










  • Here from reddit, play on Odin.

    Originally started playing during 1.0 beta, stopped playing probably within days after the 1.0 launch, then refused to play again until all the hype around Endwalker launch got me interested again.

    Now, other than story content when available, I login solely for watering plants, island sanctuary, weekly cactpot, and queuing for mahjong.
