I think stoat would be viable of they had voice chat working with their self hosting option but yeah, right now it’s a no for me because of that.


Gaming with Linux man. Just take the plunge now before AI consumes your rig completely.


Come on, you know damn well that if the bubble pops, the global taxpayers will be bailing them and the rest of the affected companies out with direct payments just like the last global crash caused by corporations.
Executive bonuses and buy backs for corporations and austerity for the working man who just wants to play a video game is always the plan.


Come on, they never were. They’re just another company with no ethics other “make all the money, consumers be damned” and always have been.


True. I mean I love hockey being a minority but holy hell some of the fucked up racist shit I’ve had to deal with while attending games.
And there’s some data to back up why now.

Don’t forget that Persona, the Peter Theil backed company, was found by whitehats to contain a us government backend for them to run facial recognition against government watchlists and scanned your chat history to determine your age and also reported any “suspicious activity” to the government.
The time to delete this privacy cancer is now.


Nah, read the response by their representative and his mother. They’re full on supporters of MAGA and red pills apparently.


I feel bad for those of us who will outlive Trump because you know that this fascist movement doesn’t stop with him and when they can’t coalesce around a weak “strong” man, they will be lashing out.


Religion as a force of good…
Also don’t forget the bible prescribes bitter water for abortions, hypocrites.


Self hosting posted a good example off a recent vibe coding security nightmare.


Honestly I never even heard of this game.


Awww…FAFO. We tried to warn y’all about Stephen Miller and the MAGA mindset on immigrants: everyone’s a criminal. It’s not like they weren’t openly saying this since day freaking one.
I’d say she would have learned her lesson but clearly she hasn’t.


I guess the question is did you set up VA-API and do you have an processor with integrated graphics?
When I set my instance up, I had to do just a bit of ID’ing since my processor/MB has a iGPU at device 0 that was for debugging purposes and wasn’t going to be up to snuff for encoding.


living and growing up for twenty five years of living in the rural midwest, I could have easily told you how this happened and how radio and cable news spread this problem.


Uh duh? And also just one of many, many things that her campaign screwed up.
Like backing away from going after price gouging corporation and ignoring the economic reality of the Average American and speaking of the recovery and inflation reduction in the academic abstract instead of to the average sixth grade reading level American.


They wont abandon the brand but it will be much more focused monetization and exploration of existing gamers. Pushing for more subscriptions, more live servcies, pushing for their streaming services, and using gamers to train their AI.
Given their push for copilot gaming, wouldn’t surprise me if they use the last two to make some kind of claim they’re use AI to reduce latency by having AI “predict” your moves making streaming better.


I think that gamers will fight with and nail to keep the yoke on.
Really reinforces my belief that the stockmarket is driven by idiots.
Reminds me of this old Kal cartoon:
Granted AI will probably doom us all but not how the substance post says it will.
