Quoting: Tethys84I think BG3 winning Labor of Love is absolute BS. No Man's Sky has been releasing FREE expansions every year, sometimes multiple. I can't see BG3 having done anything deserving that award. 100% feel like people just vote for what's trending.

Literally lying the people about the features of the game before the release, then subsequently adding them years later is not labor of love. It is called BS. No Man's Sky was released such a bare bones state that they had to use stickers on physical copies to cover non-existed features. I would call those free expansions lawsuit evasion at best.

BG3 devs kept listening its community, improving the game by the feedback and even offered a native Steam Deck port. Here is gamingonLINUX, ofc will care the game and its dev who cared them in the first place. Not to mention, almost all previous games in the series were updated for modern OS and received Linux native port. Now, THAT'S dedication.

Sorry, but COMPLETELY disagree with you. That argument is BS and EXTREMELY TIRED at this point. Move on already. You people are so f***ing ridiculous. I'm done with these conversations. I have better things to do, like trying to find reasons to keep living in a world that's completely falling apart more and more every day when I turn on the news.

Maybe I am of an older generation, but why this on/off view?
Mozilla says they going to do AI in the future somewhere, it's not clear exactly how or what this exactly means or how it will be incorporated but you drop it like a hot potato and suddenly overnight they are evil.
The world is many shades of gray, not just black and white, see how it onfolds and then take a decision.

It means you will use AI and you will like it. There is no escape. Consume!

I mean I know the Mozilla hate train is always loaded with pitchforks and ready to leave the station, but isn't that a bit disingenuous? So far Mozilla have stayed true to their first statement and AI is always optional. Should that change I will uninstall Firefox in a heartbeat but until then I'm perfectly happy with it as my default browser. I don't see AI being any different from other services like search, email etc in that I will use it if it respects my privacy.

Well no, because right now it's just words, the settings to turn it all off are hidden behind flags you have to know how to find to disable.

Quoting: scaineHard to get excited about this when not only is our O/S not supported, but the features are largely locked to the underwhelming 9000 series of cards.

It promises a nice direction of travel, but there's just nothing really tangible yet.

While I do agree with you on the first part, I don't find the 9000 series to be underwhelming at all. On the contrary I have been very happy with the performance of my 9070 XT which I picked up for a decent price on Black Week. It was a good jump in performance compared to my 5 year old RX 6800 and has been working great under CachyOS.

But I guess it largely depends on you expectations and what you compare them to.

Good point! It's underwhelming (for me) because I have a 7900xtx, so not much a performance jump.

Quoting: chrI haven't donated this year to open-source, since I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and family keeps borrowing from me as well. But I really hope I can give something again next year.
