There are tools like heroic launcher that let you install and play most games on Epic pretty easily on Linux.

Just look at that guy. If you were to ask 1000 people to describe what they thought a typical CSAM viewer looked like and averaged their responses together you would get something like this photo of Tim Sweeney.

I only have an account to accumulate the games they give away for free every week that I never actually play because they aren’t on steam.

Not all software available on Linux is open source. NVIDIA drivers for example. Hell, most of the games on Steam are closed source.

So, is it just a matter of principle on Valve and AMD’s part that they only want to ship with fully open source drivers?

I’m not technically knowledgeable enough to understand why you can’t just make the HDMI 2.1 part of the driver code closed source and the rest of the graphics drivers open?

I’m far more bothered by them making Brave the built-in default browser, than I am by them charging for themes & tech support.

I by no means want to defend Microsoft. But I’m pretty sure that was said by an overzealous marketing person who didn’t understand correctly, and this was corrected by Microsoft soon after.

Him co-opting Skippy into his bullshit pisses me off even more. What did that sketchy little talking beer can do to deserve to have his name smeared like that?

This looks more like another instagram clone rather than Facebook. Building a following of strangers rather than a network of people you actually know.

I’ve yet to see a proper alternative (fediverse or not) to the way Facebook originally helped to keep connected to friends and family. To plan events. To keep your posts only visible to your friends. That’s the part that is hard to give up.

(Yes, I know friendica is supposed to be the fediverse answer to that. But it’s really not accomplished that yet. It’s just a skin over mastodon.)

We would do something similar, but would make the only gun the farsight XR (the one that could see and shoot through walls.) We would hold up as a team in the central tower with a moat around it on that one map, and go until we hit the 1000 kill limit as a team, then see who got the most.

I’ve always assumed the more a brand needs to advertise, the shittier their product is. It’s a rule that holds most accurately to alcohol brands. (Bottom shelf plastic handles of liquor being the exception.)

It was a vote to appoint an interim prime minister who will facilitate a proper election.

This is just down right sad.

These fuckers played Cyberpunk, and came away thinking it was about a utopia.

This is a more welcome addition than that stupid AI chatbot slop machine.

But I would still like to see them release Proton Drive for Linux already.

They probably are worried about litigation, and shareholder profits. It’s always about shareholder profits.

Yeah, your company IT department probably blocked it with group policy. I suspect most companies will do so if they care about security.

We still don’t have Proton Drive on Linux, and they think we give a flying fuck about some god damn AI chatbot slop machine?

I’m pretty sure I read the other day that it’s the original founders of Digg (Kevin Rose) who bought back the corpse and are leading this with VC funding.
