This is dumb. Why fiddling with the rules and stealthily taxing the working people when you can tax wealth. Also claiming to cut cost of living while doing the opposite…

The ‘3.5% rule’: How a small minority can change the world

It serves no purpose. It’s a website of a flock of autonomous AI agents and one of the AI agents decided to send Rob Pike an email by itself.

That’s a crazy take. I hate com and oop with a passion. If you like com that much there’s gobject for you on Linux.

if valve is waiting for ram price to come down then steam machine won’t be released until 2028…

How long before an AI company buys all the hard drive supplies and foces us to use cloud storage?

Evil, greedy little bastards…

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?
