text scaling was always a stupid point against verification honestly. it's just too arbitrary. a bunch of indie games with perfectly legible text might have one line that's kind of small and get a tick off of verification, meanwhile games like Elden Ring are composed almost ENTIRELY of tiny text and are verified. should just be removed from the verification process

Quoting: ShaddycatI imagine they're saying the rising cost of parts made the LCD models unreasonably expensive to produce given their price, hence why the other models remain. Which of course may or may not be true, but I'd believe it.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.
More likely people just weren't buying the LCD model enough to warrant the production costs for Valve.

Quoting: toorthey didn't advertise it, but they did add FSR with this update. Might help with the performance.finally I can view the most eyestraining and distractingly aliased shading ever put to code with marginally better performance and upscaling, thank you sandfall

Quoting: GustyGhostMost people just use distros based on Debian rather than Debian itself. Which is a shame - I love Debian's simplicity and ease of use, and honestly it could probably work as a baby's first distro too. Either way, glad to see it back on the charts, love to see my Debian getting the recognition it deserves.Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town! :heart:I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

That's a shame. Happy they don't wanna do business with studios comfy with AI, but cancelling a project altogether? That kinda sucks. Hope it can resurface without the AI garbage someday, I love this franchise with at least three quarters of my heart

Quoting: eggroleI'm neutral on AI (if the product is good, I don't care either way), but I would like to point out that the example of Darth Vader in Fortnite from the article was, from what I understand, a smashing success that the players greatly enjoyed.Your entire profile on this website is dedicated to defending the honor of AI, why should I listen to you?
You can argue about where the training data comes from and if you don't want to buy it, don't. Heck, I even support your decision. I'd even call it noble, but understand the the vast majority of people simply don't care how the sausage is made as long as it is delicious. Our whole world is filled with literal exploitation for things like rare earth metals in our gadgets, and almost no one even bats an eye.
