The reason is the feedback we got after 10.11.0, which we first raised in January and confirmed in May. A release like 10.11.0 was, by any reasonable measure, a major release - it rewrote the library database - but the version number presented it as a minor update, and people upgraded with expectations to match. The leading 10. never changed and never told anyone anything, so all it did was push the number that actually mattered into the middle position and make “major” releases look minor. Dropping it means the first number moves when the release is big.

lol. All the Jellykins in here lost their minds when this was pointed out.

That’s not how LLMs or coding agents work. They aren’t a database of existing code snippets for it to choose from.

This is Lemmy, which crowd are you expecting to know him, the Marxists, the distro-snobs or the furries?

Image, audio and video generation are not Large Language Models and while LLMs are the money spinners, media generation is what is most visible to most people and referenced the most by ordinary people as “AI”.

It’s not the only effect, but is the cause. Changing to climate change covered up the root cause for the pathetic return of stopping a few Americans saying “huh, pretty cold out there today guess Global Warming is a myth”.

The UX is a mess. Small example: if you try to manually identify a movie against a db, it will give you a list of matches with cover thumbnails and the first 10 characters of the name. So you click one to see if it’s the right match, and it shows you exactly the same information, but in a modal prompting if you want to apply this (you can only nuke metadata, not merge or select values you want). If you’re still unsure and want to see the others, you can click back (in the modal), which makes Jellyfin panic and bring you all the way back to the movie page, your API/DB search wasted and needing to be run again, i.e. starting over from scratch.

Gap year and backpacking, for most speakers of English, also refer to kinds of travel. Other countries have to have multiple words for “missing work” (jesus christ)

How can responding honestly to an unprompted question be a threat?

No, they didn’t. Valve asked Nintendo of America if they wanted Dolphin listed on Steam, Nintendo responded no, Value shut it down. It’s one thing to turn a blind eye to Dolphin for so long, it’s another to be asked to go on record and writing as endorsing its distribution.

As below, Dolphin emulator is running for 20 years and they haven’t “gone after” it.

If you

1. Decrypt games with a proprietary algorithm
2. Charge for access to leaked games

That makes you a target.

Your understanding is correct and it’s literally why Dolphin emulator is still going strong 20 years later, it doesn’t do this.

“Developers” haven’t do this because this is people clicking the fork button or copy-paste-upload. The actual developers have long since moved on.

You know it only needs one copy per book, right? And… then you can print another book

It’s not impossibly complex. You’ve just had it explained to you pretty well and succinctly.

Just confidently stating untruth because the vibes suit

System images exist, but ok? Assuming most people don’t have that technical knowledge, all those non-DRM games still work. I can copy and paste Kerbal Space Program and play it anywhere. The games with DRM I bought, I bought knowing what I was buying. I also bought knowing that what I was purchasing was smooth distribution and streamlined updates and safe and easy network play and not running random Russian .exes with an EDM soundtrack while cracking; but also with trust that those would still exist if Steam didn’t.

Thousands of games are distributed in that form on Steam too. It’s a publisher/developer choice which DRM they use on Steam if any.

And if it’s Steam DRM they use, the solution if Steam goes offline is… the button that says “Go Offline”.

This has 3 upvotes at time of writing in a technology community when it’s so obviously ignorant of the actual technology that it should be an object of pity or mockery depending on the vibe.

Ignorance is a problem only if you are made aware of it and nothing changes.

Maybe some units aren’t words

Well, yeah. You answered yourself?

I’m sorry if this is the worst racism you’ve ever experienced

“I love Linux except for <devastating hardware compatibility issue>”

Sounds frustrating, I wonder if anyone’s ever had that kind of problem?
