Being in (important) need for a job doesn't make it any more legit to blindly spam others - especially those in the same boat.

That sounds great but I can't find any information about it. Do you have a link, please?

It depends what are your expectations.

I thought it was fine, until a competitive player, friend of mine who has a machine comparable to mine saw the game running on mine and noticed a lot of stuttering and framerate loss. I don't believe it is a machine performance issue (Threadripper Pro 3XXX with a 3080p), and I was running a pretty standard Gnome Fedora 43 with NVIDIA drivers.

So if you are into competitive gaming, I guess it is debatable.

I started giving a try to Zen (based on firefox) a few days ago. I like it especially while heavily relying on a tiling window manager.

So Artificial General Intelligence and Cascading Style Sheets are not joining forces?

A tool might not be the best tool to build itself, doesn't mean it is not good. You don't use a screwdriver to craft screwdrivers. Doesn't mean screwdrivers are inherently bad

Despite the lack of transparency, is this so bad? Players are being given a game in exchange for collectively building a database.

Yes, this is a very poor way of handling the issue. It's not like those 1 year vouchers have been stollen from them, they have been handing those out like candies and now they realized it wasn't profitable, they back off without any consideration for their customers.

It's been pointed out on Reddit that this move was not even legal in most EU because they have not been able to point out which of their ToC has been infringed (their official motive for cancellation). I am tired of companies behaving like cowboys...

They have been receiving a lot of hate on Reddit for a few weeks, since they started mass canceling Pro accounts. What seemed to be initially an attempt at preventing illegitimate accounts (aka those using coupons from grey market for instance) escalated into wavesof random accounts suspensions just for not having a credit card set, including legit ones that came as a package with ISP, bank accounts, etc.

You may want to have a look to Moonlight, that's more performant than Steam link. I haven't tried it on Xbox but used it on a Steam deck and between PCs. It worked flawlessly on a not-so-good WiFi.

This is a fallacious argument that has been thoroughly debunked countless times, and frankly it has no place on a platform where we expect a baseline level of digital literacy. Privacy isn't about hiding crimes, it's about limiting how much power one government has over you. History has shown stuff that’s totally fine today can be treated like a problem tomorrow. A surveillance system built under a “good” government can be handed to a shady one.

This makes sense. Community driven websites need... a community. Same reason why it is hard for subs to move away from Reddit.

I agree. The "advanced" leetcode is about those last % of optimization. But when network latency is involved in a flow, it is usually the most obvious low hanging fruit.

That sounds like the typical workflow while NOT working with LLMs?
