Pivot to Cron?

I assume you're aware of the DLSS 5 shitshow but I'll send some links anyway (I'm helping!).

NVIDIA revealed DLSS 5 at their NVIDIA GTC conference. It's slop for video games. Game goes in, AI "enhancements" come out, game looks "better" than ever before.

Digital Foundry's video shamelessly glazing NVIDIA's newest tech to slopify video games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZlwTtgbgVA

Literally everyone hates it and a layperson can see it's shit. That DF, *the* "video game visuals and tech analysis" guys, who count framerates and are aghast if a game's 1080p upscaled to 4k instead of true 4k, apparently see no problem is mindboggling. Favorite YT comment: "I can't believe the words I'm hearing over the footage I'm seeing."

This isn't the first time Digital Foundry's been uncannily positive on NVIDIA products. Being independent is expensive, it turns out.

Is NVIDIA releasing AI slop? No, it's the gamers who are wrong: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/jensen-huang-says-gamers-are-completely-wrong-about-dlss-5-nvidia-ceo-responds-to-dlss-5-backlash

Digital Foundry's Q+A/Apology Video afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dTTfjBAFzc

Funniest observation: "We should have waited to see what the reaction would be" Ah, yes, if we knew everybody hated this shit and we'd go viral for being tasteless, shills, or both, we would have not shared a video of us being tasteless, shills, or both.

If you want randomly generated ideas so bad, don't turn to AI. Just do drugs. That shit's been time-tested for millennia now. Get on some fucked up shit and check out the diarrhea your brain creates.
with new "justifiable true belief" reasoning models, ai can reach a thinking-while-thinking state, reaching a fractal intelligence humans could only dream of [forgets to remove pants while on toilet, shits self] noooo!!! the haters got me again!!!!
trained my own llm model off my own writing but no matter what i say to it all it outputs is "balls" repeatedly (sometimes just one, often more. one output was 3814 instances of "balls"). maybe i just need to adjust the weights. [10 minutes later] no now it's just saying "piss"
folks, it's time to get serious about fartwanker. the fartwanker library has become too ingrained in our codebases and it's time we find a better solution. the maintainer of the fartwanker library has abhorrent political views - this is not news! we should not be supporting this person much less making fartwanker a foundational library of our language.
which languages can i code in without being racist

New Linux users migrating from Windows 10 to Linux: welcome! Here are some important tips the Linux community would like you to remember:

- You don't actually need that software that doesn't work on Linux, and actually it's your fault for needing it and a sign of your poor character. What's wrong with you? Why is your life lived so wrong that you need software that doesn't work on Linux anyway?
- Wanting things to work out of the box is a sign you're a lazy entitled Windows user who doesn't deserve a computer anyway.
- Any and all expressions of frustration with your OS will receive at least three pithy one-liner workarounds or "just use X software". You are to accept these gratefully and never, never talk about how the one-liners or recommendations aren't what you want.
- Decent UI is a privilege, not a right, and you're kind of a gross person for complaining about it anyway. It's being provided to you for free under a license you don't care about. Why do you hate freedom? Do you like licking proprietary corporate boots to get a coherent menu design?
- Really, anything that goes wrong with your Linux installation is your fault. It's your fault if things don't run. It's your fault if you have to finangle around to get something working. Why are you like this? Why can't you just be happy?
- Further, any complaints will be dismissed because you should have contributed to the code to prevent the problems in the first place. Why aren't you helping? Why aren't you giving money or time? Why are you such a disgusting leech?

Enjoy your time on Linux! And remember: if it's not what you need, you are wrong.

Retro is the most useless Twitch category. Streamers set their channel to Retro so they never have to update what game they're playing. It doesn't let you check out a specific game nor is it following a specific streamer. You might as well rename it "generic content lol"
