They're going to fire the managers and the devs will be given even more space to be creative!

Right?!?

A lot of managerial/exec jobs are among the few that probably COULD be automated with AI. I mean, if there's one thing AI can probably do fine, it's belt out a bunch of buzzword bingo that doesn't mean anything in particular, suitable for deployment at a pointless meeting. Probably wouldn't be able to make actual executive decisions, but that's a bonus because when that kind of executive decides the buzzwords should have real-world impacts is when things start going really badly.

3 years into ai bubble, literally zero improvements and usefulness, yet some crazy managers still hype on it.

I think you all didn't read it correctly!

"AI-centric management system centered on Agentic AI" for "automating tasks while allowing employees to focus on creative activities and complex problem-solving".

They're going to fire the managers and the devs will be given even more space to be creative!

I'm waiting for the GOTY Edition to buy it, which I'm guessing/hoping will drop around Christmas or so, and ifs Mesa 26 releases in Jan, that's perfect timing!

I'm utterly disgusted with every new low point Glorious Eggroll is hitting. Can't wait to hear what controversial issue they will sweep under the carpet next since apparently no rules or boundaries need be respected any more.

Promoting cryptobro scam web browser? Check. Fostering a toxic Discord community where it's OK to harass people who dare disagree with GE? Check. Pretending AI code is fine? Check. Being an arrogant jerkface in public spaces? Double check.

Licenses will also be actively disregarded.

Excellent. Disregard all the things!

I know you didn't. I'm mainly just pointing out how overtly manufactured his personalities are while assuming that they wouldn't piggyback on an unlikeable personality to promote a game...thing. So, some people seem to think he's likeable? He seems like a right p... an onboxious individual to me.

Scratching my head at this, basically.

Does the demo support VR (on Proton) too?

For the first treatment of getting older and not being able to read as easy as in the old times anymore, they've got "reading helpers" (cheap glasses) in the drugstores around here, for five to ten bucks.

^ [such] I don't have to like him, or his music or whatever. My favorite music style stopped around seventies with Pink Floyd and the like. Hell, even if I'd hated him I'd still admit that he is somebody, good, bad, distasteful or whatever.
I didn't said likable personality.

Is it just me or the Amazon Luna logo looks like Linux Tux logo might look like if someone tried hard do modernize it? Maybe even futurize?

Several personalities, probably. The gangsta one went away after the murder trial, so now we get... whatever it is that he's doing. Money-loving amoral stoner gamer that sometimes tries to pretend he's approachable for the purposes of public events he's well compensated for?

Clearly, I fail to see the appeal.

Nice. I wouldn't say that the game is unplayable, but the drops down to 10fps are really annoying. It's a shame because performance is otherwise really good on AMD despite the Raytracing (~100fps with 7900XT and Supreme settings on my 1440p Ultrawide, and around 45-50ps with my Ally) Good to see this getting fixed

The caveat is that those fixes (200 of the thousands) come with a massive list of weapons' and stuff' crazy "rebalancing" again -to almost insane (arbitrary?) levels-, showing that almost 2 years later the game is still unstable (= constantly moving) in terms of gameplay, meaning that the studio remains clueless and vastly incompetent in what it wants to do and how to do it properly. Will wait until it reaches 1.0, which will never happen I guess.

I'm not really up on pop culture . . . does Snoop Dogg have a personality?

I think he has. I'm not into that culture, for me is a meteoric mishmash of faces and weird edgy names coming and going, but he's the only one that I can recognize with a distinct yes, personality. I can't for the life of me name one song he made or sung, but he stands out somehow compared with the rest.

This is the correct move. I hope Fedora keep it. Opinions from non-developers and people not understanding how AIs work can be actively disregarded.

I asked GloriousEggroll for their comments on this article. I'd offer a screenshot from the discord, but media cannot be embedded. Quote from GloriousEggroll, maintainer and lead dev of Nobara, a fork of Fedora. Also the maintainer of GE-Proton.

"blowing shit out of proportion. news flash: I built flatpost and nobara-updater using assistance from chatgpt. as long as you are reviewing the code and know what it should or should not do and it's working correctly, and you're not blind just shoving copy/paste bullshit everywhere i could care less. im here to make something i enjoy that works, so that i can spend my free time doing other things, not groaning or doomsaying about AI or politics or the state of the world or anything else".

All spelling and grammatical errors are reproduced faithfully.

Fuck you Fedora. Fuck you Red Hat. I'm so sick and tired of all this shit I've lost my "be nice" filter and I just hate all of it so much. I hate this AI garbage shit SO much.

So so so so so sad for 11th hr. Seriously used to be one of my fav devs. And now I can never play Last Epoch ever again, and it really was one of the greats. I fucking hate ai so much I swear.

edit: I would just like to link to back to this post I made back in July LOL:

I actually love Snoop being involved in ....... *waves hands* ....... everything everywhere. It means I can can safely ignore it as pop culture garbage nonsense. It's like hearing a song where the intro does one of those annoying rapper things. Just change the song!

I played the demo and, it have problems. Not only things feel generic, but it also have two major sins in a beat'em up game: you cannot grab a opponent and the strike's sound is very disappointing, like punching a pillow.

And looks like this is by design and they will not change it. Which is a shame, because it had the potential to be better than the TMNT game they released a couple years ago, but it is not.

It just seems to invite an uncessary risk for fedora at this point. Humans breaking copyright is something that courts have dealt with and we have good idea for how that will work out, but AI? The wise and responsible thing to do is sit quietly in the boat until courts have decided how to classify AI generated content and who is legally responsible for the output.

I entirely agree, and the entire copyright aspect of things would on its own be enough of a reason for this policy to cause a lot of issues.

To be clear though - while the comparison is apt when taken at face value, I also think it's a good comparison in a more abstract way. More specifically, I think that the FOSS community really ought to be reacting to this kind of policy in the same way as to a policy that overtly allowed proprietary code copied into Fedora - not just because it's similar in practice, but more importantly because it is equally violating of Free Software principles and ideals.

Beyond the matter of copyright, there's a huge array of issues with LLMs, their development and history, their application in practice, and so much of this is directly tied to things directly antithetical to libre software development. One can discuss the technological, functional, ethical, sociopolitical etc. aspects of generative AI and there's clearly nuanced arguments here in places, but when looking at it specifically through the lens of Free Software it really should be a complete non-issue.

Of course it isn't, and I understand why, but it's a shame.

This policy is comparable to saying "You're allowed to copy-paste parts of proprietary codebases into Fedora contributions, as long as you leave a comment saying which proprietary product you are copying from"

It wasn't very evident from what I skimmed through yesterday, might have missed something, but yeah, that bit seems to not have gone past legal at all...

Regardless if one agrees with the courts future decisions or not, or agrees or disagrees with copyright in general, it is the law of the land and one can still be held responsible for breaking a law they don't personally agree with.

This shouldn't even be a contentious matter, and the Fedora Project's take is honestly mind-boggling.

This policy is comparable to saying "You're allowed to copy-paste parts of proprietary codebases into Fedora contributions, as long as you leave a comment saying which proprietary product you are copying from" - which is clearly ridiculous. That's not to say the use of LLMs (and other generative AI technologies) is literally the same thing, necessarily, but it absolutely violates Free Software principles in a comparable way.

Amazingly, the policy even partially addresses this where it specifies that assistance such as grammar corrections do not need disclosure. This part feels reasonable, and somewhat comparable to say, allowing the use of proprietary IDEs to write the code that is being contributed to the project. Obviously some ground has to be ceded, and while some (myself included) might take issue even with this usage of LLMs, this nonetheless feels like where it is realistic to draw the line.

If this policy had ended things there, and simply stated "any contribution of LLM-generated code is prohibited, except for grammar corrections and similar clarifications", that would have been an unfortunate but understandable compromise for the project to make. Looking at the actual policy, though, it's legitimately hard for me to grasp how it was approached from a Free Software perspective.

Of course the Fedora Project is not, say, the FSF, and decisions have to be practical as well as ideological. To so openly invite technologies so hostile to fundamentals of Free Software, however - heck, going as far as specifically suggesting OpenAI's ChatGPT, a proprietary product from an extremely user-hostile corporation, as an example in the policy - makes me think we likely haven't seen the last of conversations around this change.

Hopefully some degree of sanity will prevail.

No. They should fix the native port. Maybe add a Vulkan renderer if possible. Proton (Wine + DXVK) is a great thing for running Windows games on Linux (SteamOS), but it should not be a replacement solution for actual native ports.

If there already is a native port, it is always better to fix that port (if possible/feasible) instead of just nuking it and relying on the Windows version running using Proton.

yea but no, It was a fairly mid port to say the least. In some circumstances you would be correct when talking about a performant native game released only a few years ago, but in the context of this game topic your not imo.

yet id go further and state that i actually prefer Proton releases over native. for a variety of reasons.

Thaaaat... looks like Venom is a playable character!

Venom is actually in the demo if you want to try him out before the release.

The only thing that puts me off is the small screen. My eyes aren't getting any younger.

I feel your pain - I'm in my mid-40s and am desperately in need of glasses, because my eyes are getting so bad... I work around this by having my Steam Deck connected to to a projector - which then projects onto a wall - most of the time.

I still wish Valve would adapt the Deck technology to a laptop form-factor. A 14" or 15" screen would be great. Economically priced like the Deck, of course.

I'd rather they package it up in a "mini PC" or console-like system... Either way, it'd give them more physical room to integrate better components (e.g. a better CPU and / or CPU).

I'm in the same boat, unfortunately. While glasses obviously help, I've actually started using XR glasses more and more with the Deck and it's quite enjoyable and even helps avoid shoulder/neck pains from looking down as well!

Are you talking about those "glasses that act as a display" things like Goovis?

i think its a bit too late for that, because the competition "can play everything", and its geting close price-wise (i mean the rog xbox ally normal edition, not the x version), this will help sell those games that get verified but not help put an spotlight on the deck, valve time is killing the deck/steamOS momentum.

100% This.

The longer Valve Software hold off on a "Steam Deck 2" with a solution to the anti-cheat situation, the harder it is going to be to actually convince Everyday Gamers that the "Steam Deck 2" is the superior choice... As it is now, you can purchase a superior alternative to the Steam Deck (from a hardware perspective) for not too much more than the top-tier Steam Deck model, and it can play almost every game in the Steam catalog.

Obviously us Linux gamers are always going to keep coming back to SteamOS - but how do you sell a "Steam Deck 2" to the Everyday Gamer twelve months down the track, if your competitors have been offering an alternative that plays almost everything for not much more?

That and Valve are going to need to strongarm the anti-cheat situation somehow.

This is a non-negotiable for Everyday Gamers... A "Steam Deck 2" must have some sort of solution to the anti-cheat situation, if it is ever going to be a serious competitor to everyone else.

If Valve Software can't come up with a solution to this, then the Steam Deck will remain a niche product, outiside of Linux gamers.

Fascinating idea. Glad it works for you, but ... the price! It costs the same if not more than the Steam Deck itself!

If you mostly use your Steam Deck at home, just get a projector - you can pick them up for cheap-ish these days, and use them with other devices, too... In saying that, I would probably use my Steam Deck outside of the home if I had glasses like this.

It's a surprisingly mature take on their part, actually. Instead of rushing to the popular "AI bad" mob mentality, they are gathering data on different levels of AI contribution and models used. If they have the time, power and patience to do this, good for them, and the best part is that they can always run back the rules, with examples and data to back it up.
My personal expectations? Bad contributors will show off how bad AI currently is without/minimal human touch, but both those who don't use AI and those who are using the AI as a proper tool will do just fine. In the way they are doing this, Fedora will have the receipts to throw at bad/lazy actors' faces when this is all said and done.

Everything you said is true, yet I still disagree because this is not an ideal world; If they can more easily support linux through proton and are willing I think that's the better path. At the end of the day linux versions are nice, but often times when the dev teams are small I'd rather them focus on adding stuff to the game rather than focusing on making a linux version for a game that already works without one, honestly from my point of view there's no reason to make a linux version unless the performance is bad with proton or there are severe bugs or just does not work.
