  • Counterpoint: I anticipate this would cause an over-saturation of the indie film space with poorly made AI generated films and scripts from people attempting to capitalize on the new technology, and further creating a schism with the rest of the art community as generative AI continues to train on other artists artworks and films.

    I think it is a cool tool to be added to the repertoire of creatives. I think it may create some very interesting pieces, in time. I agree Hollywood needs some good competition. I don’t think AI is going to generate that kuch additional creativity, and if the number of super heroes movies is bad when it takes so much work, effort, time, and money to make a feature length film without AI, just wait until the next big fad takes off and see how much AI contributes to adding even more to the pile.


  • Windows Registry

    I had recurring issues with registering Bluetooth devices, where they would pair initially but refuse to connect again after a reboot. I couldn’t remove the device from saved connections, and registry edits wouldn’t save or persist. I’d have to completely uninstall the driver, change the registry, and reinstall the drivers, with restarts between each step, to get it to work for 1-2 days.

    Now, having to troubleshoot isn’t what turned me away from Windows to Linux. I knew I would run into that plenty on Linux as well, but I came to hate the registry. If I was going to have to go through all this trouble to get things to work, I might as well do it on a system I had more control over. I had worked with different distros on VMs and dual booting before, so when I built a new system, I just skipped Windows entirely.










  • I just did this with my desktop pc when I added a second drive for additional storage. Instead of using it as additional storage for windows like I initially intended, I decided to dual boot with Mint on the second drive.

    So far, I haven’t had any issue with gaming on Mint, either! Granted, most of the games I play are through Steam and either work with Proton or are native Linux to begin with. I did install a few games with Lutris, though, and works fine so far. Sea of Thieves, Astroneer, Slay the Spire, Deep Rock Galactic, are all working out of the box.

    Only thing I haven’t attempted yet are multiplayer games with active anti-cheat, like LoL or CS:2. If those are the sorts of games you regularly play, you’ll probably be better off in the Windows partition/drive, but have fun experimenting in Linux!
