It doesn't have to be this way. The mistake is using centralized non-user owned platforms.

Quoting: Liam DaweIt doesn't really matter what alternatives there are - anything chat / social media will end up having to use these types of controls. Otherwise, they will end up getting blocked by various governments.I disagree. Self-hosted platforms are basically impossible to control in this way. I would like to see the government come for MY Mumble server. Libera already issued a statement saying that the odds of them requiring age verification is incredibly slim. And even if it did, somebody can just spin up a new IRC network that hasn't had the restriction imposed on it yet.

The art for all current Cygames games and other products is crafted from the technical know-how and manual work of our many staff members.I find this line to be suspicious to say the least. One could argue creating AI art does require "technical know-how and manual work", even if it is far reduced from hand drawn art.
Valve discontinuing the last Steam Deck LCD model

More likely people just weren't buying the LCD model enough to warrant the production costs for Valve.

Quoting: elmapulAI claim one more victim.What does AI have to do with the LCD model being discontinued? AI isn't affecting LCD production at all.
not that i wanted the LCD model anyway, but not only AI is taking people jobs now its making everything more expensive for the people who still have jobs.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelI updated with the driver tool provided by Mint.Quoting: ShaddycatDoesn't work on my machine. I get stuck at a super low resolution and 76 Hz. Using a GTX 1080 on Mint. Anyone else have a similar issue?Did you manually upgrade from the nvidia page or did you use the driver tool provided by Linux Mint in combination with the ppa [External Link]?
I'll just stick to 450 for now I think.
