What is ridiculous about humans writing texts?

It worked quite well the last millennia, and it still works.

What is ridiculous is be blindly refuse to use tools, moreover to actively campaign against tools or anyone that use them

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: CaldathrasInteresting. I was forced to 580 from the 550 series. Wasn't given a choice. Based on the link below, Nvidia no longer supports the 550 series, by the way:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/

To do that I had to drop my kernel to 6.14 (which is now also unsupported I think) and remove one line from the code. But any drive above that messes up my VR (among other things), so it has to be done.

hey man, I'm trying since weeks to get back to 565 from currently 580
It updated automatically and it seems like I have no choice or way back....

I'm on POP OS (No wayland) and kernel 6.17.9-76061709-generic

Is there actually a way to get back to 565.77? Can you please tell me how?

Not exactly and it'll take a bit of doing. But I installed the old packages from the Launchpad PPA. This failed because the glue module wouldn't compile. Then I just went through the compile log and tried to fix the errors. Doing that for a "too old" driver on a "too new" kernel was just too much, so I enabled the older kernel from before my distupgrade. This combo only required commenting out a single line from the driver to make it compile.

There's not exactly a manual for this and if it's still broken after a reboot then you'll have to continue from the console. So if you're not prepared to just do it and deal with whatever happens, it may be easier to just downgrade the whole system.

It was the graphics-drivers PPA that automatically pushed me from the 550 series to the 580 series. I don't think you'll get any joy there.

Keep in mind that the 565 series, like the 550 series, is no longer supported by Nvidia.

That being said, it seems to me that the best chance would be to use Nvidia's installer. You'll need to make sure you have a compatible kernel, however, or the install will fail. I suspect that kernel 6.17 is unlikely to be compatible. The last 565 driver update was in Dec. 2024.

Also, you can look here:

(Yes, Nvidia refers to Linux as Unix.)

Sigh… a fix for the Witcher 3 launcher that nobody uses, but where's the fix for Witcher 3 DX12 freezing constantly?

Quoting: MakiThe big problem here is not so much whether AI was being used for it, but that the AI contributions are being hidden when there's feedback on it.

If it wasn't, then anyone could have forked the project if they didn't want to use the AI contributions.

The forked project could then just weed out the AI contributions in a simple manner without having to go through the code line-by-line to hopefully spot whatever vulnerabilities or bugs the AI might have added.

Start fresh with just the human-made code and fix whatever was wrong with that.

Wherever the rights of AI or projects using AI end up at, it would have secured the potential for a project like Lutris to exist without it.

Lutris' maintainers could have just said "Yep, we're using AI. Fork it if you're not happy with it."

Done.

No knee-jerk reaction. They could have kept up complaining about not having enough contributors as they have for years now.

It's the assholery of it which is egregious and a point of concern for many beyond the use of AI.

Having said that, I vehemetly disagree with the use of AI for any FOSS projects. Please keep it far away from me.

It is redundant to be so against these tools. Also he removed it and put it back because if people just acting like fools about it. There is nothing wrong with ai tools.

My projects all shown what contributed as they are web yhkngs. All show Tailwinds. Symphony, laravel and so on used. Was using grapejs for a bit but just couldn't make it do what I wanted in a clean enough way even with the help of ai.

People that can code and develop use these things as tools and we might be plugging in code bases we already have made or used ourselves and are developing off that code. I took some ideas from other products similar to mine, but my tech stack differs. My architecture differs, my front end differs i have features sets they don't that allow for better SaaS like control and lets multiple people use it etc. Ive painstakingly still had to go test every little thing and fix certain things and so on. There are still little bits I want to add likr revision tracking, two-factor, changing over to industry standards for some stuff. Maybe get translations going and the add on/module support and tracking or a down payment

Quoting: GerarderloperMeh, results matter. But also if stolen code ends up appearing; you don't want that happening.

There is a risk when using AI coding tools where eventually it could turn into bloatware. So hopefully that isn't what will end up happening a couple years down the line.

The bigger problem is that how fo you really even say code is stolen. A website built on tailwinds vs bootstrap and similar setups on both will look very close to the same, minus bootstrap being way more blaoted because it loads in everything.. Their structures can be different and you can even do similar features, bur much of the CSS and visuals for many sites based on bootstrap and css just go default routes and have a "samey" feel even when coded by hand
...

There is only so many ways to do something in code that unless its kike a section by section copy you'd never know and in some instances its going tl be a direct copy outside of naming conventions just because that is the way for it to perform.

The biggest problem claude has really is attribution because most of the stuff they train on is open source

So, basically, nothing changes unless you choose to use Steam or GOG as your download source.

Direct downloads and repositories are not affected.

Good.

It's nothing to do with OpenRCT2. They're entirely different projects based on entirely different games.

Can someone explain to me what this means? What am I not getting? I don't play openttd, only OpenRCT2. I think I must be missing something, because I don't get what the problem is.

Quoting: PyrateWhat's most impressive for me here is realizing the bazillion articles about the infinite amount of roguelikes that keep getting pumped out were all human-written 😁

I am so happy to see this! Thank you Liam for everything you do, and I will keep support this site and loving the community and features here 😁

edit:
please don't throw us all into the sun - I rather like it here :)

That's one of the classics where I'm not sure if I'd actually enjoy it today.

The graphics were absolutely superb, and I guess that might have glossed over the glaring deficiencies in gameplay. The strategy part was fairly minimalist. Firing catapults at castle walls was fun. Sword-fighting was manageable, but don't ask what the best way to go about it was, other than frantically clicking away with the mouse. No clue how to pull off the tournament.

And the major selling point, the kiss scene, certainly hit different at age 12 than it would now :-).

Thank you for this message and your website. Keep fighting the good fight (against AI slop)!

Not only is your stance on AI understandable, it's phenomenal! I'm really glad to see you clarifying your position. Among everything being ruined by AI, it's good to know this site will remain great. Keep on keeping on!

AI can be used to spell GamingOnLinux and Liam so it's technically not entirely useless! 🐧

My only wish is what you used an em dash somewhere in this post to mess with us.

Love what you're doing man!

I didn't know of this game, but it looks beautiful and fun! Added to my wishlist!
