And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.

VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

I wonder if at some point we’ll get a good HL3 from a different studio that have passion to make it’s worth.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

So it burns the coffee.

What’s good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.

It’s actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it’s not receiving that much funding.

Yeah, it’s horrible to realise it’s you who are the adult now. But explains why the world is shit.

Maybe they too just wanted to go to your home.

Providing instead of complaining, now that’s something new.

So there are two Japanese companies, what racial bias is there then?

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

That’s just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company’s lawyers, said he isn’t working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.

And what’s worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.

I don’t see a problem with Flatpak in this. It does what it’s supposed to do. You find not using it better? That’s great, that option is the default in all of the distributives.

Is it even a problem for a desktop in 2024? Never had an issue with RAM or diskspace. And even for those that have, they can just not use flatpak until they upgrade, no reason to kill it.

Your SSD will likely live longer than most of the other hardware. 8gb is surely low but quite enough for running Asahi in daily tasks.

Yeah, it’s literally whether the publisher wants to install malware with their games or not.

They are still in the mindset of “we are the only player in the field and people can’t live without us”.

No, they are in the mindset “we are a company selling cloud Linux, our legacy products are money drain”. They clearly state it in their yearly reports.

I don’t think the point is to do anything on sales. Valve profit from sales. It’s to raise the problem so now the managers have to decide on a scale how much they abuse the players. Before it wasn’t even a problem, now it’s Valve: “maybe you shouldn’t wink wink”

I don’t think that’s fair. I “own” GTA5 and don’t really care for the last… 8 years? what they add. I had the full content of my purchase. Why should I be able to gain money for this?
