Opinions exclusively of my own and of voices in my head.

Autism, communism, arthitism, cannabism.

  • Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux

    Jump

  • They paid way less money than CodeWeavers who released their work freely as well.

    I’m not able to use it for games outside of Steam because Steam is a monopoly and loads of games release exclusively for it.

  • Wine is dead simple to use. On MacOS which I use on desktop there’s Whiskey, a free front-end although author of that one decided he doesn’t want to cut into Crossover sales because they contributed so much to it.

    Let Valve pretend it’s their product in their press releases but why do Linux users do this much free marketing for them is beyond me. You’re allowing PC gaming to become locked like Android/iOS for very little in return.

  • The Sovereign Tech Fund invests in Scala

  • Scala is essentially Java so most of Java criticism applies.

  • I thought only the most miserable data engineers are using it.

  • Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux

    Jump

  • All their chips behind would likely be enough to employ thousands of Linux devs with money left to spare for a couple of megayachts still.

  • Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux

    Jump

  • Valve, as in a single paid developer.

  • They fund one full time employee to work on it. CodeWeavers has been at it as a whole company since the inception.

    „Steam bad because Valve is very consciously doing everything to make an impression that Valve is behind most of advancements in Linux gaming”.

  • Vibe coding may be hazardous to open source

  • Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux

    Jump

  • I’m being rage baited by attributing Proton to Valve. Who contributed more to it? Valve, CodeWeavers or volunteers doing it for free?

  • Valve's Proton 10.0-4 Released With More Windows Games Now Running On Linux

    Jump

  • „Valve’s Proton”. At least they acknowledge CodeWeavers exists. They’ve been financing development of Wine for decades and they were able to afford it without taking 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • It would be very hard to imagine that Android would look as it does now 15 years ago when it was almost fully open source and AOSP had all necessities included sans device-specific firmware blobs.

    I haven’t seen any indication that Valve sells their Steam Machine as an open platform, more that they dishonestly advertise it as „runs all your Steam games” (but they don’t include Windows license to actually do that).

    Locking down SteamOS won’t appear as a heel flip when it comes because it’ll happen gradually. Introduce little friction here and there, slowly herding people towards preferred but optional measures, until they’re no longer optional.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • I just don’t like people throwing around terms they don’t understand, leads to weird outcomes like people saying Meta would EEE ActivityPub back when every instance decided to defederate Threads.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • I imagine it’d be more like Android/iOS. Lock down bootloader so you can’t tamper with the OS, enforce notarisation requirement so that apps have to go through them. But Microsoft can’t do that, they don’t have any users vendor-locked to their application store. Valve on the other hand is in a much better position to do this.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • That’s not what EEE is.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • What standards would Microsoft EEE in this case? POSIX?

    Jump

  • Android is a Linux distribution like that and once notarisation requirement is implemented it’ll be indistinguishable from iOS. SteamOS will also likely become gradually more like iOS to appease creators of popular multiplayer games.

  • 🪟 Prediction: Microsoft Is Going To Do The Funniest Thing Imaginable

    Jump

  • Has been predicted for almost as long as the year of Linux on desktop.

    Windows NT kernel was never an issue, Microsoft would encounter exact same issues they’re facing now since the pressure to monetise remains.

  • How does one verify that it is what’s actually running Twitter algo?
