This is amazing. Love it :) such a cozy vibe

I found this bot often lacking tbh :/

Be a bit careful on what you read on the Internet regarding performance of either of the two. For some reason there is a lot of tribalism around people's favorite DEs which leads to a lot of misinformation.

Gaming Performance is almost the same, just pick what works best for you: https://www.phoronix.com/review/kde-gnome-wayland21/4

Across all the games tested both native and titles via Steam Play (Proton + DXVK), the GNOME Wayland session most often was showing the best performance and across the wide range of tests carried out came to about 4% better performance than the GNOME X.Org session. The KDE Plasma Wayland session tended to perform slightly in front of its X.Org session as well for these Linux gaming tests but there were a few games still running into problems with the KDE Wayland session.

In case you're also interested in what's actually been agreed on...

The exact language of the contract is yet to be released. But from the WGA summary, it appears the union was successful in its effort. The MOA includes increases to minimum wage and compensation, increased pension and health fund rates, improvements to terms for length of employment and size of writing teams (which had been shrinking drastically in recent years), and better residuals (which are like royalties), including foreign streaming residuals.

The MOA also lays out terms for artificial intelligence, with an agreement that doesn’t prevent writers or productions from making use of generative AI but prohibits using software to reduce or eliminate writers and their pay. “A writer can choose to use AI when performing writing services, if the company consents and provided that the writer follows applicable company policies, but the company can’t require the writer to use AI software (e.g., ChatGPT) when performing writing services,” the MOA states.

Additionally, “the WGA reserves the right to assert that exploitation of writers’ material to train AI is prohibited by MBA or other law” — a major issue given many authors’ recent discovery that their work is being used to train AI owned by Meta and other companies.

I found pinta useful. It was once forked from paint.net when it was still open source. easy to use

It is not common, true but yoshis crafted world is another ue example. It might get more common

What important advances are we talking about. Would be honestly interested, though I have to confess that I feel it might not be that much or big of a practical positive effect for society?

I mean Pikmin 4 has AA

thanks for sharing! the offline translation is interesting.

https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator in itself is such a cool project. I think I read about it a while ago, cool to see it in action, even though the quality is not quite there.

If google is dominant enough, everyone needs to follow. Or get left behind.

I think the main problem that remains is that all those chromium derivatives strengthen googles position as the de facto standard. It is not only about chromium, but also web developments outside of that browser, like DRM, SEO, AMP etc. Websites might adapt or tailor towards that browser or google created standards/tech. And thus, everyone (including Brave and all other, including firefox) needs to follow. Or get left behind.

If Brave, and all other chromium derivatives, don't agree with the direction chromium takes, can't they remove that code? Every deviation from chromium is going to cost resources, so they have to pick their fights. And if google/chromium is dominant enough, you will have to compromise on how much you can deviate. Brave needs to follow chromium or get incompatible.

Using Brave strengthens chromiums position as the de facto standard. And Google getting more dominant.

Absurd is too strong of a word, but 100$ ain't nothing. Not for everyone.

Oh that's surprising, sad to hear. But at least, as others wrote for understandable reasons. I loved shadow tactics. It felt like such an alive little world and had a surprisingly enjoyable story and good characters. And then Desperados 3 continued to deliver on that. Hope the people find good positions elsewhere or manage to build something on their own.
