If Linux Kernel 6.6.6 isn't named "Kernel of the Beast" I'm quitting Linux and switching to FreeBSD
Here's my theory, the whole Chinese spy thing is a diversion and never the point, the goal was never to steal Nvidia secrets (Nvidia is already doing backdoor deals with China, Gamers Nexus dug into this a year ago). The goal was actually to comprise Jensen with an affair so someone could oust him from the company. Why is a question to still be asked.
There's this funny cope thing I've seen from people who desperately want to be anti-AI but still have some attachment to reality where there say generative AI is bad, but other AI is not.
I don't want to be the one to break the illusion but using AI to automate mundane tasks or find software bug and using it to generate art are under the same technological banner.
You can absolutely have preferences for different use cases, but when I see someone using the term blanket term gen-AI it immediately flags what they're about to say following that.
I have plenty of issues with certain uses of AI, but it's far more productive to talk about those uses than trying to mental gymnastics yourself into describing how something that does code generation, and speech synthesis is not generative AI, just because it was used to find a bug

Absolutely phenomenal timing, I hope every indie dev you love uses AI and simply never tells you anymore.

How did we not see it, it was right in front of faces the entire time, Jensen Huang is a cover name, his name is actually Jensen Hung.
I'll see myself out

I will drag itadakimasu kicking and screaming into becoming a loan word.
(Obv exceptions for stories not set in Japan/series without otaku audiences.)
The alternatives always draw too much attention to themselves or make no sense ("Thanks for the food"? Thank who? You made it!)

29 days until Path of Exile 2 full release. Fact of the day:
Alongside the Duelist and Swords comes a slew of new unique items related to both, here's one such example: Agnar, the 2-handed sword wielded by Count Geanor, act 1's final boss.
Let's set aside the pure aura of wielding this and look at the mechanics here: we get a special skill, which is simply Geanor's ice wall skill that ALSO shatters the walls dealing immense area damage, an implicit of excellent life leech w/ cold damage, terrific added cold damage per level, and a slew of other cold-focused modifiers, which meshes extremely well with arguably the best of the elemental damage types in PoE2.
I'm already picturing using Werewolf skills alongside this to deal tremendous damage to frozen enemies, it also fits thematically SUPER WELL.
Agnar also has a decently high base critical hit chance which is something KEY to weapons with the 1.0 changes to criticial hit chance being gone from the passive skill tree.
If you'd like even MORE PoE2 1.0 facts before and after full launch, follow me here and on my other channels, this is ONLY the beginning!
Turns out being exclusive to one platform means you make less money, now that you're not you make more money. Wow more people means more potential customers, who would've thought

Magic Knight Rayearth, magical girl series to political mecha.
Shadowbringers was the pinnacle of Final Fantasy XIV, maybe Endwalker could have been better if it wasn't wrecked by COVID development, who knows, we don't live in that world.
Whilst it may be standard practice to keep CoC decisions private, I don't believe for a second it's to protect the people involved, it's purely about liability and reputation management, you can flip a switch tomorrow and publish the reason for every CoC action. Again let us not forget what happened with Sonny Piers who got booted out of the foundation after demanding an explanation for why invoices were not being paid discourse.gnome.org/t/2026-b…
GNOME Foundation can no longer afford to be private about CoC actions, no one trusts them anymore, people in the project don't trust them, people outside the project don't trust them, the only people who trust them are the inner circle who are all in on the charade or people who aren't paying attention
GNOME Foundation needs to commit to complete and utter transparency, explaining why they have taken every controversial action they have taken these past few years if they want to have any hope in rebuilding there reputation.
Drop the HR speak, drop the corporate wording and start being brutally honest about what is happening in the foundation and the project at large.
I don't think this series has the ability to take it self seriously for more than 10 seconds at a time
