Etienne please come back

Exactly, nobody’s gonna wanna pay $20-$80 per month if they can just run an open source version for free

Classic proprietary L, ironically enough for "Open"AI

This article isn’t saying that AI is a fad or otherwise not taking off, it absolutely is, but it’s also absolutely taking too much money to run

And if these AI companies aren’t capable of turning a profit on this technology and consumers aren’t able to run these technologies themselves, then these technologies may very well just fall out of the public stage and back into computer science research papers, despite how versatile the tech may be

What good is a ginie if you can’t get the lamp?

Common proprietary L

I know you say that as a joke but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bethesda splash screen genuinely had some actual performance cost

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting at, proprietary software on Linux is just a step forward towards a fully FOSS future

For the most part, there aren’t many professional fields that have a good FOSS option, so in the meantime their only option is to keep using the industry standard until a good alternative matures like Blender has

At the very least, people would have the freedom to not use microsoft or apple while still working professionally in their respective industry, so that’s more free overall

Why not both? I don’t see how proprietary software on Linux will slow down FOSS at all, and it’ll only bring more users to Linux who otherwise have to use windows for their software, so overall more FOSS users in the community

And programs like Blender have already matured to a professional level, so I’m pretty optimistic that other FOSS apps will eventually follow, too

The 99th article about eco friendly bio-degradable plastic that’ll never see large scale use:

They’re changing their name to “Aylo”, not literal “Total Nonsense” and that makes me sad

Build a Dyson Sphere and make $188 septillion/year

Bots making websites and filling it with bots so advertising bots will buy ads that will only be seen by bots

This right here is one of the biggest reasons I turned to exclusively open source software, cuz man the amount of internal rage I feel any time I have to log into software is unreal, like I open the software I want it to just go

Yeah, I’m personally cool with sponsorships and I rock uBlock Origin

“Unfortunately, looking at the hardware information, … it’s another Realtek RTL8153 …”
