Sounds like flatpaks/appimages with extra steps
Includes all dependencies? ✔️
A single file? ✔️
Independent of host libraries? ✔️
Limited learning curve? ✔️
Not sure how appimages handle it internally, but with flatpaks you can even be storage efficient with layers, whereas 100s of static binaries could contain an awful lot of duplicates.
Can't see why you dislike appimages, sure not 100% size efficient - but for one off binaries youre probably not spending much time optimizing anyways.
Not that you couldnt make an appimage 2.0 solving all your issues, but we'd just be back to that package manager xkcd all over again
From a comment on the article
I love compression, I love ffmpeg and I love more performance, but… FFV1 is ffmpegs own, old lossless compression format for archival purposes. It is not particularly bad, but it is also not particularly good or modern.
Just lost wmr to windows updates too, I'd expect more shit like this now that theyre better monopolized
So?
Doesnt mean expensive ones are an instant success either, if anything I'm agreeing with you that graphics are irrelevant to sales
Honestly looking at the most popular games, I dont think graphics matter to even 1% of gamers. Minecraft, Terraria, lethal company, baltro, among us, all have the graphical quality of a 2 year old drawing.
Publishers are just spending a million to underpay artists solely because 'graphics' worked back in the ps2-ps3 era, so theyre still hitting that slot machine hoping for the same returns.
Edit to add: tunic, factorio (technically) Tetris, temple run, hill climb racing, Wii sports (arguably nindendos entire style until recently), human fall flat all have incredibly cheap graphics
No better way to shit on women who spent their entire lives getting to space than by calling Katy perry and 'icon' for going on a glorified plane ride
Kinda feel like they said something like
"I think everyone should have food"
And you responded with
"you want a Walmart on every block in the world?? do you even know the environmental impact that will have? Poor people are really to blame anyways because they're not voting with their wallets enough"
How an asshole can mess something up is entirely independent of how a proper implementation might not mess up
Edit to say: I think this is what they meant in their comment about (American) capitalist propaganda; You dont realise your implicit bias enforcing that it must be a capitalist implementing it without any external input.
To the rest of the world he's just an infamous citizen in a dying country, who would never realistically have 1/10th the pull needed to enforce that BS internationally; by starting the conversation at best he'd speed up external implementations.
If you've ever used Xbox, its like quick resume
(From my limited understanding)
You looked into flatpaks?
They work using namespaces and cgroups like containers, but have a much more unified system than podman/docker
I mean I imagine an LLM is able to generate more entropy from the sheer computing power put into it, but I agree traditional digital stenography methods are MUCH more cost/power efficient than an LLM.
(Not even to mention the amount of cyclic redundancy youd probably need just to get a message across)
Depending on the environment I suppose texr-based could be beneficial vs (relatively) large media files
GCVE is more confusing if anything
