I use Boost. I tried a few others, and wanted to pick an open source option, but I never found one with UI I was satisfied with.

I think its partly because the Federation process takes time (which can throw off any more precise notifications between instances) but much more significantly because many of the most active Lemmy users really hate bots.

Basically, the actual processor on the card is made by Nvidia and sold to card manufacturering companies like Asus, Zotac, ect. Those manufacturers will then build the rest of the graphics card around that processor. Most of the card will be very similar between manufacturers, as the processors require very specific card designs but some layout details, cooling, overclock specifics, and appearance can all be changed by the card manufacturer. As well as that, different manufacturers will have different design and quality standards, and different support systems.

Dota callouts have some interesting ones.

“I gooed the squirrel a bunch, catch her and let Lion finger her.”

Edit: And considering that Lion’s “Finger of Death” ability is shortened to “fingering”, you can guess what the callout is for its upgraded form, “Fist of Death”.

Really? When I was trying to get it to run a little while ago, I kept running out of memory with my 3060 12GB running 20B models, but prehaps I had it configured wrong.

For most of the good LLM models its going to take a high-end computer with a top of the line GPU. For image generation, a more mid-range gaming computer works just fine.

Edit: correction. You don’t necessary need a good GPU specifically

Unfortunately, neither fixes this. Grayjay seems to work, but its inconsistent in my experience, often repeatedly returning to the beginning of the video part-way through.

Honestly, I like the look of the leader/civilization changing and mixing. Looks like a lot of fun, in the “late-game rogue-like”, “Break the game by amassing synergies” type way. Its a different appreal than 5, but that just means I can enjoy both rather than picking one. That said, given the price, the DRM, and the reported buggyness, I’ll probably still be waiting a few years at least. At least that gives modders time to get to work.

I saw this posted a couple days ago which pretty succinctly summarizes the current state of the market.

Commented this a year ago, and its just as relevant today.

The disbling of lifesteal on Bristleback’s Bristleback feels like it destroys him as a hero. I have no idea how you’d make a viable core build for him now.

Generally, its because people don’t know its an option, or how to do so. Like, even knowing its a good idea, I have no idea where I’d start looking to buy one and I’m fairly informed around tech.

I was kinda suprised too. I know someone else was saying they’re popular in developing nations, because of better regional pricing, although I can’t confirm that. I also know that they were a popular choice for crypto grifts and similar shady and scammy games, since they had less moderation than Steam, so its possible some of the income also comes from stuff like that.

In comparison, spending on third-party titles declined by 18% to $255 million

Some key context from the article.

Basically, profit from Fortnite increased significantly, although the store itself isn’t doing great.

Given that its $255 million in customer spending, not revenue or profits, and Epic reportedly takes only 12% plus reduced fees on Unreal Engine effectively lowering it further, I can’t imagine its profitable. If we assume 10%, that leaves revenue of $25.5 mil, which doesn’t seem like it’d be anywhere near enough to cover exclusivity deals, and giveaways, nonetheless infrastructure and other factors.

Thanks for your thorough answer. That was my understanding from the research I was doing as well, but I am probably even less of a lawer and was hoping someone with more experience could check my work.

I’m a bit confused as to what you’re asking for? Just like, programming project ideas that benifit the Fediverse? Or specifically something related to promoting Lemmy on Mastrodon?

At least where I am, the few that are available are only available in a buggy app that crashes more often than not.

As I said in the post, I understand the technical side. Its the legal aspect I’m asking about. For example, yes, you can freely download a reuseable launcher from GOG, but as its only granting you a licence to the game, that licence can’t be transfered (without GOG’s permission), resold, ect. and if the licence is revoked, continuing to use the installer would be piracy. I’m asking what happens if any of these stores shut down legally. Would licences be revoked/invalidated, or how would that work?

You’re buying a licence either way. Its not like you can resell your GOG games or anything. If that licence is revoked or invalidated, continuing to play the games is piracy. They say you will have three days to backup your installer, but what happens to the licenses in that case? If they end when GOG or Steam go under, legally, it doesn’t matter what DRM is used.

Worth noting that Steam does not enforce the use of its DRM. Like Epic, its up to developers to add it.

As for installing games after the services ends, I’d be curious to know if any have specified what happens to game licences at that point. Obviously, if the licence is revoked, continuing to play it is piracy, but if these services close, are the licences revoked? I couldn’t find anything matching in the Steam or GOG terms of service.
