Stage 3 is the default nowadays and not hard to reach. Was this many many years ago?

while I generally agree, this is probably the only case where frame generation is not that awful. the original GTA2 was capped to 30 fps. it was possible to set it to 60 fps but then the game ran on double speed. so with this you can make it smoother without changing the underlying engine’s logic and run speed.

in my opinion, the lighting with this looks very nice and suddenly the game doesn’t look outdated at all anymore, I’m kinda hyped. I never liked any of the 3D GTAs and I take GTA2 out every few years (mostly on small LAN parties). however, we use version 11.44, this seems to target 9.6

for comparison (only identical scene I found, this is probably among the darkest scenes the game has): original remix

I only tried nixOS once in a VM, so I probably know next to nothing about it and I am very happy with Gentoo which I run everywhere (desktops, laptop, VMs, NAS)

Haven’t played that one but I prefer 2D for platformers. Maybe I’ll put it on my RG350m. Also, imo, using save states is no shame. I could never finish Mario world without

well, for one, Gentoo builds it’s packages from source when you install them, so you don’t need a binary that targets your specific version of libraries because it was built with those library versions from that point in time. like with other distros, you have to choose the el9, el10, fc44, fc45 version or the one for “noble”, “forky”, “bookworm” or “trixie”. on Gentoo, the application you install get’s linked to the library version you have installed. (simplified)

for the second part, the “conflict with each other”, Gentoo doesn’t do it like NIX, where you have those unique paths like “/nix/store/ggl4fqsvvlyf1y3rl6mk72nf0dc8c8hr-system-path/bin/bash”. but some packages (but not all) have “slots” that you can install in parallel. (e.g. rust, python, gentoo-kernel, wine, lua, …)

usually the actual binary of those packages is named like the version, e.g. /usr/bin/python3.14 and /usr/bin/python (which is the thing that actually gets used via PATH) is a symlink that you can switch with Gentoo tooling (eselect). another way it is done is: packages you install come preset with what dependency version they like to use and that version gets installed along the already installed version, if necessary. (e.g. they set RUST_MIN_VER=“1.98.0” or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET=“python3_12”)

when a dependency gets updated, sometimes the application also needs to get rebuilt to that updated library version. it happens automatically on dist-upgrade (@world update)

Unless it gets ruined by AI

I see, yes you are probably right

As a Gentoo user, I can relate ;-)

I did not like that condescending wording either, as I was also considering signing this “KDE for People” petition yesterday. (but I didn’t, because I’m not important, not a developer or anything)

I guess he just wanted to make clear, that KDE does not yet have an official stance, and those movements (the akademy talk and KDE for People) are not official kde projects/opinions

literally the next sentence after the reasons, he calls LLMs “bad stuff”. That does not sound like “equal weight on the scale” to me.

So yeah, bad stuff. I completely understand why a lot of people have problems with LLMs. I have these concerns as well.

I agree that the license issue should be enough to not touch anything generated by AI, to not taint the codebase

I always cherished his SambaXP talks

A book from 1920 will probably not get printed again

Portage is the only one that makes sense to me. It doesn’t try to hide it’s internals from the user

Very good news

Gentoo offers systemd and OpenRC, not SysV

Kolf is nice but my go-to golf game every few months is still TZ Minigolf 3000, because of the way putting works (inverted to kolf) and it’s iconic levels (because of nostalgia)
