This. All of this. It’s fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn’t mean much if people can’t easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

It’s been great, honestly. I had Garuda on a laptop I was using to stream from a local Desktop, and it worked better for Remote Play than Windows 10.

You gotta be on the nightly-builds repo to get it.

Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.

I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.

I don’t think it’s an agenda, I think it’s just poorly delivered. The facts are:

• Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

• Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

I think it’s safe to assume that he’s intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone’s Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.

She fell prey to one of the classic blunders.

That was my thought as well. Maybe she knew she was close to getting caught and hoped to be labeled criminally insane for some kind of imagined lighter sentence.

In the US, at least, being deemed insane by the courts lands you in unpleasant, secure psychiatric facilities whose patients are often forgotten and abused worse than inmates, but maybe it’s better in the UK…?

It all has to do with evaluating flight risk, with his lawyers asserting a reasonable belief to the judge that he’s not one (prosecutors likewise can make their own recommendations). Bail can be denied, but from what I understand from legal podcasts, most cases have release conditions.

The fact that he skipped town means his lawyer might get in some trouble, but it almost certainly means this guy is royally fucked when they find him. It doesn’t look good to juries when you run away.

As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I’d like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA “Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition,” but there’s lots of gems out there that don’t require the latest GPUs.

But as for realistic graphics, there’s actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.

Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I’ve seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don’t feel those improvements were wasted effort.

Does anyone know if there was a motive? I didn’t see one in the article, but maybe I missed it.

Either way, she deserves permanent incarceration away from society. “Fucked up” is an inadequate description.

Real talk: what does “leading” actually mean? Because if it’s like 4% of the generation, it’s not much of a paradigm shift.

I was told not to talk to strangers.

No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it’s something I’m interested in.

It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it’s actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won’t be around to know!

The D’ni.

Jood. The further we stray from Jod, the jreater this society will jet.

I’ve heard from other evolutionary biologists that the next gen will be homo sapiens sapiens, and we’ll be renamed something else.

This current version of humans? No. But could it ever happen? Absolutely, if we assume our future evolutionary human descendants survive and provided we can supply everyone’s needs.

Their games are great. Their lawyers can go skinny-dipping on Pluto.
