From the article…

The AI priest also told one user that it was okay to baptize a baby in Gatorade.

Okay, this one made me laugh, in an Idiocracy movie sort of way.

From the article …

Older PC games have also received some love, as the new version addresses the issue of playing these games on high-core count CPUs. Proton reduces the number of CPU cores observed by games such as Far Cry 2 and 4, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Dawn of War II, Dawn of War II—Chaos Rising, Dawn of War II—Retribution, Outcast—Second Contact, and Prototype, allowing them to run more smoothly.

Anyone know of any details as to why this becomes an issue, why many cores causes older games to not work properly, requiring proton to hide extra cores from them?

Thank you for that reply/write up!

I am not aware of any games having a problem with too many cores*

I’m making that assumption, correctly or incorrectly, based on this portion of the article…

addresses the issue of playing these games on high-core count CPUs. Proton reduces the number of CPU cores observed by games

It seems to me, based on that description, that there’s some kind of quantity issue going on, with games, that made Proton fixing it needed.

Basically, a balancing act problem, that’s fixed by just limiting how much balancing you need to do. Using your analogy, making sure there’s only X wrenches available to assemble that Ikea furniture.

But thats just a guess on my part.

Doesn’t The Witcher 2 support Linux natively anyway?

You’re assuming the Linux code base for that game doesn’t potentially have the same issue. How much of the two code bases share common code, etc.

@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, but then that would be an issue for CDPR to fix, rather than Proton

Yep, unless it has something to do with how Proton does its emulation/layer work, vis-a-vis quantity of cores, etc.

I personally don’t know enough about it to say, either way.

Happen to know of any ETA of when it will be?

I really wish they’d get specific about streaming dates

I’m guessing they’re not specific because they don’t know when the Blu-Ray sales will taper off. We are just waiting for those sales to dry up first. Just a guess.

That’s not a lemmy.world link

When you hit reply to a comment from the web client, there are several editor buttons you can press, like ‘B’ for bold font, ‘I’ for italic, etc. The farthest to the right is a circle with a ‘?’ mark in it. The link I supplied is the same as pressing that button.

So if you don’t trust the link I gave you, go to lemmy.world in your web browser, and hit the reply button for any comment, and then press the circle with a ‘?’ inside of the circle button, and you’ll be taken to the same page as “join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/02-media.html”.

Right, so it’s a Lemmy thing, not a Lemmy world thing,

It’s a Lemmy World web client editor thing.

It’s a help page that shows how to format your comments.

I feel like you’re missing the point. Maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, Lemmy World does use it, however it’s a feature of Lemmy itself, not just of Lemmy World. Lemmy World is just one instance of Lemmy and they all use the same markup.

My point is calling it the Lemmy.World markup is inaccurate and potentially misleading. Lemmy is more than just Lemmy.World.

I understand, but also, I was speaking directly to the link that exists in the Lemmy.World’s web-based editor, I have no access to any other web-based or otherwise editors from other servers.

If the Lemmy.World web-based editor is maintained by the Lemmy devs themselves, then it is a Lemmy editor, agreed.

I’m not aware either way though if it is/not, and I’ve been arguing with people that take any slight ambiguity from me as ammo to attack me with, so I was being very specific, based on my own personal use-case and the specific server URL of the link I was speaking of.

I’m sorry if I made you feel that way.

I appreciate that, thank you for saying that. And no, it wasn’t you, its just been a ‘busy’ week for me here on Lemmy is all.

And TY for the education on join-lemmy.org.

“Someone else did it so it must work”

lol

Well, if its ok/works for ProPublica, then that’s enough for me. 🤷

That still doesn’t help, dude its annoying af

Feel free to block me.

and what the original commenter said is right.

/disagree

No actual bot will give a shit if you add a link pretending your comment has any weight.

ProPublica seems to disagree with you.

CosmicCleric,
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Well, if its ok/works for ProPublica, then that’s enough for me.

That’s a big “if” on if it works. So wouldn’t go around saying it works. Just that someone else is doing it too.

Oh I’m using English properly, in the way I phrased it.

And if they, and their lawyers, believe it works, that’s good enough for me.

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en

CosmicCleric,
@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

Did their lawyers really advice them to put it there believing it works?

I wasn’t in the room with them, but IMO it would be malpractice of the lawyers if they didn’t, so I’m going to say yes, they did.

It definitely empowers them to go after anyone who uses their content outside of the license.

And it doesn’t hurt to have it there. There’s nothing wrong with protecting your rights, ever.

Finally, let’s not derail the OP post any more than already has been done. If you wish to continue the discussion, it should be done over here…

You already had the link, as you’ve already replied to it elsewhere, but I’ll just include it again above here for you.

Thanks for the link! Not posted by ProPublica but a random Lemmy user, which means crap all.

Well someone has to post it on Lemmy. So it’s not just some guy.

Look at that above link, it backs up what I’m saying.

People calling you out for being wrong isn’t astroturfing.

There’s been plenty of astroturfing going on in the last week. Not all comments are, but some are, and they have been repeating daily (can almost set a watch to it). In fact, they’ve been kind of sloppy and over the top in some cases. Didn’t think a Creative Commons license would trigger some astroturfer so badly, but apparently they really fear people using a license with their content/comments.

And as far as calling me out, constantly doing so over and over again, repeating the same points endlessly, is not something that is just ‘calling me out for being wrong’, that’s harassment/bullying. I’ve heard/talked to the people who disagree with me, so there’s no reason for them to repeat themselves to me endlessly and following me around from community to community, on a daily basis. Especially when by them following me they derail conversations in posts I’ve commented on (unless you want to explain to me how using a Creative Commons license is related to “What plot holes could be adequately explained away with a single shot or line of dialogue?”).

The place to discuss this issue is here: lemmy.world/post/14942506

It’s not an anti-AI licence and by definition does not restrict use (including AI-related) more than standard automatic copyright.

It talks about non vs commercial usage right in the license, so you are incorrect (and I’m betting not a lawyer also). Also, I got that name from someone else who also uses the license, so at least one other person agrees with me. Finally, it has restrictions in it that are not mentioned in the standard automatic copyright.

Besides all that, WTF is it to you? What business of this is yours? Are you some kind of ‘commercial’ police making sure commercialism is not slandered or something? Its a weird thing to get hung up on, let alone try to abolish/remove.

@CosmicCleric@lemmy.world avatar

it does not revoke other parties’ already existing rights unless they invoke this licence to use your work

You left out the part about the commercial usage. But then again, you are not a lawyer.

From the license…

Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has authority to grant.

Listen, we’re not going to agree on this. If you want to keep replying about it, I can keep telling you I disagree with you, and we can keep just keep going around in circles, forever.

Or we can just agree to disagree, and move on.

But in either case, I’m going to continue to use the license in my comments/content.

If you’re not ready to defend yourself don’t spread misinformation.

I’m not, and debating/discussing is not the same as being harassed/bullied.

There’s already a post in a community where this is being discussed, and there’s no reason to derail other posts in other communities.

If you have more to say to me about the subject, say it there…

The Tv stations play the intermission? I’d think they would just cut that and jam more commercials in there.

It was cable TV (vs streaming service), one of the networks that don’t play commercials during the movie.

TCM maybe, can’t remember which.

you are under no obligation to follow the rules for a licence you did not agree to.

Agree to disagree, and moving on.

As an individual, for comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.

My content is usually more than a sentence or two.

Also, it puts a stake in the ground for any future enforcement done by others than myself if laws change.

Its a low-hanging-fruit way of protecting my content. If it works, great, and if it doesn’t, then I’ll vote for someone else for Congress the next time.

I’ve wasted more time replying on this single conversation/post than I have copy/pasting the link in all of my comments so far.
