@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

EA seems actively hostile toward Linux. My gut says its more about a general aversion to open source among the c-suite, but I could be wrong.

@bruce I know less than nothing, because I barely play any games like this. But if I were to hazard a guess, I can think of 2 reasons that feel way more plausible to me than the cheating BS.
Anything you build, you have to support at least a little. And they probably see the labour (I.e.cost) of Linux stuff as not worth the revenue. All tech companies are in a firing mood right now. They only support the middle of the bell curve. Innovation is gone. Return-on-investment is the only game in town.
Steam is a competitor. So hurting the steam deck doesn’t really hurt EA?

@paco there's a youtuber retrofitting a car like this with an electric powertrain
it's diy but it can be done
actually easier in those old boats, there's so much room you don't need for other stuff

@paco apparently the regenerative braking is so effective you barely need real breaks
(you still need them but)

@moira I have a really good car for this and I wish I could find someone that could do the work. I'm handy around the house and with computers, but I would never drive a car where I had a hand in fitting the engine.

@paco lol

@paco oh no, fish sticks got to go, go go codzilla!

@paco I would watch him try to speedrun this

Now people who know very little in a domain feel like they can skip learning that domain and just make a personal tool with an LLM that will meet their needs.
That's what I do with 99% of the objects in my life? Everyone does? I have almost zero knowledge of how my clothes and car and house and prescription drugs are manufactured. I just use them and focus on what I happen to do for a job (computer programming).

@deafferret I think you missed the point. You don’t MAKE car, house, clothes, or drugs. And you don’t think you can, either. You use the ones others make.
But people think they can use an LLM to make software, when they’ve never done that before. And not just any software, but software in a domain where they have only cursory knowledge.
Like a person who has never designed a game and has never made a mobile app (and maybe has never written code at all) thinks they can use an LLM to make a mobile game.
If you said you could use an LLM to make your own prescription drugs, when you’re a software developer by trade, then you’d be like these non-programmers who think they can write software now that they have an LLM.
