Probably not great for games but it could totally drive a 1440p or even 4k monitor if you’re only using it for web/office/media playback. I’m curious to know if other people are using it as a general computer.

Kagi is no better than Mozilla though. They even bought a T-shirt factory lol https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

Not sure if this counts but (Reddit link warning) someone managed to do it in a VM

I have a Steam deck, here’s the answers to my knowledge:

1. Yes, you can connect a keyboard and mouse, and even in SteamOS they let you access KDE in a separate “Desktop mode”

2. Not sure about multiple monitors but you can connect at least one. There are docks made for it to do just that (the USB C cable has display port support I think)

3. It runs a 4 core/8 thread AMD laptop chip so assuming you get a mouse/keyboard it should work pretty well.

4. It has a 5W mode in the power settings in SteamOS so I’m assuming around that much at idle.

5. You can put other distros on it, it’s completely unlocked. You could even put Windows on it if you wanted. I’m not sure how easy the install process is though since I’ve just left SteamOS on mine.

That’s Annapurna Pictures, which still exists, so that is probably still happening. Annapurna Interactive was the branch of Annapurna that did game publishing, and the rest of the branches still have staff AFAIK

Annapurna was a publisher team, not a dev team (that published a lot of indie teams’ games). I’m not entirely sure how this affects the devs though since I’m in general software development and not game development.

When Warner Bros shut down Adult Swim’s game publishing team a few months ago, they did at least give publishing rights back to the original devs so something similar might end up happening here.

That being said it’s also possible that all of the games Annapurna published get put in licensing limbo and the original devs get screwed over by this if the Annapurna parent company doesn’t want to give up their publishing rights.

25565 also gets a decent amount of malicious traffic because of Minecraft though. I’d recommend switching the port to something different at the very least. When I hosted a server for the first time on 25565 my router pretty immediately gave me warnings about attempted network traffic coming from Europe/Asia when I (and everyone I gave the IP to) live in the US.

Don’t shame them for procrastinating :(

The ability to recognize sarcasm doesn’t seem to be particularly developed on Lemmy the internet.

FTFY

TypeScript is still built on JavaScript, all numbers are IEEE-754 doubles 🙃

Edit: Actually I lied, there are BigInts which are arbitrarily precise integers but I don’t think there’s a way to make them unsigned. There also might be a byte-array object that stores uint8 values but I’m not completely sure if I’m remembering that correctly.

The way I was taught was that you usually start off with only an interface and then implementing classes, and then once you have multiple similar implementations it could then make sense to move the common logic into an abstract class that doesn’t get exposed outside of the package

There’s been a lot of drama with that recently, apparently some of the C devs are making it very hard to get code merged in for rust support, to the point where one of the rust devs is stepping back as a maintainer because of frustrations with some of the C devs

Edit: see this Mastodon post from someone from the Asahi Linux project: https://vt.social/@lina/113045455229442533

Poe’s law and all, I could easily imagine someone saying that seriously. That type of sarcasm doesn’t translate into the Internet as well as saying something completely absurd and unreasonable. Even then people will probably still misinterpret it. Internet sarcasm is hard.

Neither does Jerboa 💀

Mass adoption doesn’t necessarily mean Linux newbie. NixOS seems to be targeting the DevOps crowd with its stability/immutability – that is, people who would be comfortable building their system from a config file that doesn’t have a UI. They’re already basically doing that with other tools.

Alright screw it we’re full sending this, Outer Wilds is a roguelike now

That isn’t the reason they stopped, they were tired of NVidia’s BS. Nvidia has been slowly trying to phase out 3rd party cards for a while. Since the 20 series they’ve been consistently raising the cost of the GPU that the manufacturer pays compared to the MSRP (i.e. OEMs make basically nothing if they dont upcharge over MSRP), giving OEMs way less time to properly design/test their cooling solutions before launch, and in a few cases only giving them worse binned cards.

Pretty sure they’re talking about the devs, not the users

edit: still kind of weird tho
