Based Serious Sam 4 meme

Seems like I've entertained you enough on that front. And thanks for confirming what I said literally at the beginning lmfao.

Get blocked, and get fucked.

Based on what? You brought up stealing information like it's a bad thing, I pointed out that information shouldn't be legally restricted from use when it costs nothing to be used.

Artworks are not "information", and you surely can access em, viewing and downloading and all.

You are telling me that I am not allowed to recreate them, unless I use the exact same specific tool that the original artist used

The idea was to "use the tools artists are using" but you managed to reinterpret it as "you can only use the one single tool the artist uses". :V

I presume I'm also not allowed to take any art classes that the original artists wouldn't have been exposed to either right? Why can't I recreate the painting using chalk? Or ASCII art? Why do you get to decide how I can recreate it?

No one is saying thay you cannot recreate it, I'm just stating the matter of fact that you aren't recreating anything when you enter a prompt on a text box.

You want to be treated like an artist and not a thief? Put in the effort. It is simple as that.

Same as every Photoshop and After Effects tool based on algorithms right?

Or more precisely, what's different about being assisted by advanced computational photometry algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend, and being assisted by advanced machine learning algorithms that you need a PhD to comprehend?

See above, entering prompt on a text box is NOT the same as using the tools given on a drawing/photo editing program.

Also there are lots of tutorials on how to use these so called "PhD requiring tools" out there lol. Once again, put in the effort.

And if I send that image to a friend and make them spill their lunch laughing, and then they don’t send it to anyone and that’s the end of its effect, what harm have I caused the world?

I'm sure we weren't talking about private sharings before. Moving the goalposts much?

What if I don’t use AI but use photoshop and different digital tools and complex algorithms to make that meme? Why is that different from AI?

Simple, it is focusing on ONE specific artwork, instead of millions. Oh, and also it is more energy efficient.

Why should those artists be able to prevent me from recreating their art?

Information should not be hoarded, and capitalist systems of restrictions and ownership are the wrong way to manage it.

Lmfao no one is "hoarding" "information" in the case of drawings. You want to recreate their art so damn much? You absolutely can! Here is the actual tool you need to do so!

And btw, you aren't "recreating" anything when you input a few words into your "eyy-ayy". You aren't spending any effort to do so, it is all computer's doing. So you cannot claim it as "yours". Full stop.

The fact that AI is exposing what a lie IP is, is not AI’s fault as a technology.

I'm sure these fanart makers that your "eyy-ayy" is so eager to steal from were really owning those IPs. So did those people who were drawing original stuff. Fair use is a myth, wake up sheeple!11!!! Lmfao.

Epic Crap Store having one less exclusive is always good to hear about.

Me when I steal from thousands of artists for anime ass looking eyy-ayy image I worked so hard to find the right prompt for (those capitalists were hoarding information and now I, clearly the good guy in this scenario, am freeing em)

It is so funny to see that AIBros are exactly like Creeptobros/NFTBros of their time. Saying that "you're gonna miss out", "you're luddites" and all that jazz. So what's next? They gonna tell me "have fun staying poor" too? Lmfao.

Just like the former, they are completely okay with stealing from others, cuz they are literally worthless without the data they have hoarded outta so many people.

They should keep going, so that more people will see them for what they truly are. :P

Its something happened waaay back during the technical preview days. Just like with this instance, the workaround was to rename the installer executable.

https://winaero.com/microsoft-to-block-classic-shell-in-windows-10-here-is-why/

And I think you should update to OpenShell at least.

This looks promising. I always yearned for Foobar2000 to be on Linux natively.

However layout editor part is quite confusing (adding widgets seem to add them not where I want them at), and I couldn't get it to play any music, as both drag and drop to a playlist and open file option in the menu causes the program to crash. Plugins didn't load at all until I manually copied them to the places fooyin was looking for, though I wonder if this is an AUR package issue or not.

I'll keep using DeaDBeeF despite some complaints I have with it for the time being, and will keep a close eye on this one.

Remember the days when Microsoft would block ClassicShell the same way they did StartAllBack here, on Win10?

Pepperridge farm remembers :V

The reason it is so shit is that because there is NO moderation whatsoever (nor there is any care for having it, as there wouldn't be cases like someone that had done ban evasion twice still being active on the forums otherwise). And I think I can safely say that it is just like the same as other social media:

More heated and stupid arguments = more page clicks and views = more ad revenue (Michael definitely inserts some ads into the forums, like come on now)

I have absolutely no regrets using adblockers on there (or internet-wide), and Michael has the GALL to call his subscription service "Premium"... unbeknownst to him that a golden coated excrement is in the end... still a piece of excrement. :V

seen as a signal of independence from politics

Lol. Lmao even.

 

Surreal Engine is an ongoing project to reimplement UE1, mainly focused on Unreal Tournament v436 and Unreal Gold v226 at the moment.

This one has been discussed in the other linux_gaming community before, more than two years ago. Since then there were numerous improvements:

  • It can now run UT99 maps and Unreal Gold botmatch maps (whereas it was limited to only UT before), and boot up onto the intro flyby of Deus Ex.
  • Colission handling is much better (but not perfect yet).
  • Can utilize SDL2 on Linux for windowing and native Wayland support (previously it'd use pure X11, and actually still does if you don't have SDL2 installed).
  • The menus mostly work now.
  • Initial works for the AI (they will move around sometimes, and retaliate if attacked).
  • Game detection system based on the SHA1 sum of the game executable. This allows us to detect many versions of UT and U1/UGold, as well as Deus Ex, Klingon Honor Guard, NERF Arena Blast, and more!
  • A launcher has been added to select the game you want to play on startup. And lots of other improvements!

There is still a lot of work to do to implement everything though, and contributions are always welcome!

 

Thought of giving it a try myself, after seeing the other NVK Gaming videos by the user Reverse Module in this community. Building Linux 6.7 was kind of a pain though... :V

I happen to have an RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU, so I can try things out with and without the GSP firmware. I had tested a game from the 90s (I don't wanna try out heavier games until the driver is more mature) but still, the performance difference is quite visible.

Edit: I edited the video description to include links to the tests made by the user Reverse Module using an RTX 4090M, I feel dumb about not doing this earlier.

 

Note that I've linked the latest version at the time of writing this (3.0.2), the original 3.0 version with its changelog is available here: https://github.com/LostArtefacts/TR1X/releases/tag/3.0

For a quick rundown of things: Tomb Raider (1996) is the very first game of the critically acclaimed Tomb Raider series made by the late Core Design. Its available to buy on Steam and GOG (as a bundle of the first 3 games), with remastered versions of the first 3 games set to release in Feb. 14, 2024

Unlike the rest of the "classics", Tomb Raider 1 was a DOS-only application, which is rather inconvenient to get it working; or it would be if the fans didn't figure out a way to get the TombATI version of the game (a port made for very old ATI cards) working on the modern Windows OSs.

TR1X is made by reverse engineering the aforementioned TombATI version (by employing the methods from a similar project for Tomb Raider 2 named TR2Main, which is also where the previous name Tomb1Main is inspired from), and vastly improves upon it. The changes are far too many to list here, but the highlights include much further drawing distance, TR2+ style controlling for Lara, a New Game+ option, fully customizable gameflow (both for modding and making self imposed challenges), Gold expansion (Unfinished Business) support.
