That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

CachyOS is adding a dedicated EACv2-compatible kernel plus a Secure Boot setup guide so users can optionally meet Epic’s new EACv2 requirements without changing their normal optimized kernel. (github.com)

Give me a keyboard and mouse and I’ll potentially beat the best shooter champion trying to struggle through playing an fps with a controller.

that heavily depends on the game. the majority of professional Apex Legends players use gamepads because of the aim assist advantage.

would golf tournaments be improved if the ball had a strong magnetic attraction to the hole? lol I don't think so

I'd rather the tournaments banned aim assist

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't doubt that. But it's funny that the reason for it being preferred on console is that you don't actually have to aim well lol. Making it, imo, a shitty shooter.

[–] noodlejetski@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oh, I'm talking about PC players using the controllers.

some argue that the stupidly strong aim assist is a way to give the console players (since there's PC/console crossplay) a chance against KB+M users who get to use some movement techniques that aren't possible on a controller and that make it much more difficult to hit them, but tons of people started using controllers on PC just for the aim advantage, so it's definitely been an overkill.

Ohh, wow. Yeah that is crazy. I get that reasoning, but I would agree it's overkill to go ahead and give the controller a leg up! The only shooter I ever could stand on a controller was Halo and that was after a lot of practice (and not having a choice, playing against friends on their xboxes). Still kinda hated it in the back of mind lol
