Sounds like a skill issue. If that ruined the game for you, I dunno what to say. Might be a replicant?

I agree with them, that game is a masterpiece. Didn’t you love it?

The direct connection is cool, I just wonder if a P2P connection is actually any better than going through a data center. There’s gonna be intermediate servers right?

Do you need to have Tailscale set up on any network you want to use this on? Because I’m a fan of being able to just throw my domain or IP into any TV and log in

I just use nginx on a tiny Hetzner vps acting as a reverse proxy for my home server. I dunno what the point of Tailscale is here, maybe better latency and fewer network hops in some cases if a p2p connection is possible? But I’ve never had any bandwidth or latency issues doing this

It gets around port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with. But putting it behind a paywall kinda kills any chance of it being a benevolent feature.

The last time I had fun with LLMs was back when GPT2 was cutting-edge, I fine-tuned GPT2-Medium on Twitch chat logs and it alternates between emote spam, complete incoherence, blatantly unhinged comments, and suspiciously normal ones. The bot is still in use as a toy, specifically because it’s deranged and unpredictable. It’s like a kaleidoscope for the slice of internet subculture it was trained on, much more fun than a plain flawless mirror.

It’s a Windows Subsystem that is responsible For (Running) Linux. Yes, everyone thinks it should have been called Linux Subsystem for Windows.

I mean the specific issue about the binary blobs. Something that might set off alarm bells for you or a security-focused group may not do so for some dude working on a passion project in his free time.

Maybe they weren’t working on it.

Software to create bootable usb drives. It’s handy, you just copy ISOs into the drive and pick which one to boot into instead of overwriting the drive with a single ISO.

It’s a different situation, as a dev I’d happily bet my life on this assumption.

Dropping support for that stuff means breaking 95% of the websites people currently use. It’s a non-starter, it cannot ever happen, even if you think it would be for the best.

The standard .NET C# compiler and CLI run on and build for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can run your ASP.NET webapps in a Linux docker container, or write console apps and run them on Linux, it doesn’t matter anymore. As a .NET dev I have literally no reason to ever touch Windows, unless I’m touching legacy code from before .NET Core or building a Windows-exclusive app using a Windows app framework.

Ok, there’s no such thing as native Windows apps for Linux, but there are cross platform GUI frameworks like Avalonia and Uno that can produce apps with a polished identical experience across all platforms, no electron needed

It’s fully cross platform with .NET Core and later.

Nice pic

I’m with you until the lockin. How does that happen?

Yeah, specifically for something like coreutils I can’t see the malicious endgame that is suggested by others here. Is the fear that a proprietary version of cat or pwd or printf takes over the ecosystem and then traps users into a nonfree agreement? Or a proprietary coreutils superset that offers some new tool and does the same thing? Or a proprietary coreutils that generates profit for businesses without attribution to the developers? What would stop anyone from just writing their own proprietary set of tools to do the same thing now, even if uutils didn’t exist? Clearly not much, since uutils did exactly that (minus the proprietary bit).

I personally don’t see a compelling reason to change to MIT, but I also don’t see the problem.

It depends on if you use the “relay” feature. If your server is accessible from the outside it shouldn’t be using this though.

Code is easy in a vacuum. 50 moving parts all with their own quirks and insufficient testing is how you get stuff like this to happen.
