box86 is younger than FEX i think? maybe it’s just that when they decided to fund FEX box86 didn’t exist yet?

Isn’t GOG part of CD Projekt? Not a behemoth like Valve, but not a small fish either.

i am a fan

No, all client side anti cheats are bad and won’t work. The user space ones are still privacy risks and most importantly is absolutely useless against someone who is determined to cheat.

Enabling anticheat means the user must sacrifice many of their core freedoms just to play a video game. And in principle anticheat will never fully prevent cheating short of pointing a camera at the user and watch them the whole time they are playing.

I hope Linux community can push back. This whole thing is idiotic and harms the consumers.

Look, you obviously don’t hate AI as much as the next person.

Not quite true. Rechargeable AAs aren’t as durable and Li-ion battery packs. So you would still end up replacing them more often than you would replace the internal battery.

I mean, Linux player base is only .01%, even if they are all cheaters, they will literally have no impact… You can’t say “Linux user base is too small”, and “if you support Linux you want cheaters” at the same time if you want to make sense.

I am not waiting for it because I personally want to use it. I’m excited for the industry shaping power a Linux OS released by Valve will have.

It’s basically steam deck minus the screen. If you are used to the steam deck it’ll be fine.

Finally some good fucking news

So 93% of the Linux users use English steam. I wonder how much of that is because Linux users just don’t bother to set system language (I am one of them), or maybe the language was not detected correctly.

Linux on exfat?! Do you mean ext4?

I don’t get you people. The founder of FUTO literally platforming a fascist is beyond just purity test level of bad.

I can call Eron out for being a supporter of fascists, while using FUTO keyboard because it doesn’t spy on me, that’s perfectly fine. I don’t get why using their keyboard means you have to defend the horrible position held by the people behind it. Sounds like cognitive dissonance.

I mean, if this helps fund Firefox and is not too intrusive then I am fine with it.

We don’t look at car features in isolation. e.g. seatbelt or airbag could cause injuries too in a crash, but we have them because it’s better than not having them.

In the same token self driving doesn’t have to be perfect, it just need to be better than humans. I don’t know what Tesla’s number looks like, just speaking generally.

Idk the exact criteria but being a war criminal gets you fast-tracked.

P.S. you are right. Google has gotten so much worse compared just a year ago. I had no trouble finding this back then, now I have to dig.

There are a whole bunch of distros and window managers/compositors that aren’t developed by nazis. I think we will be fine if we exclude those that are.

The hyprland situation is waaaay more than just that. And it’s not hard to find with a search.
