  • As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia’s CUDA dominance could ease over time.

    This seems a bit optimistic to me. CUDA is currently the de facto method of utilising a GPU’s power efficiently. This makes them an easy choice for anyone with serious compute power needs. The other manufacturers are fighting an uphill battle trying to create an alternative that won’t be used until it is definitively better.

    This just seems like a catch 22 to me



  • You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

    As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can’t live without




  • Technically plants do respire oxygen and produce CO2, its just that the photosynthesis process produces more O2 than they need, so its a net offset 🤓

    There have been experiments done since the 1800s proving that plants can survive in a closed environment, presumably by regulating the amount they photosynthesise, so there probably wouldn’t be a global loss of plant life
