Very true.

I would like to read the article, but unfortunately it seems that the site and its 843 partners care so much about my privacy that they want to share my data between them. So it seems that privacy now means the opposite of privacy. Interesting times.

I expressed this view before. Wine and Proton are now the Linux Gaming Layer.

Windows has relatively stable APIs or ABI to serve the third party software and games.

Linux does not. It is however so incredibly flexible that it can assimilate entire operating systems as interface layers. I think it’s absolutely awesome we are using Microsoft’s DirectX tech combined with Vulkan to run Windows games faster than Windows does.

It’s been years since I bothered to check if a game I’m buying is Linux compatible or not, because of it isn’t, it will be soon.

I’ve done my part and closed my account. Those freebies were nice, but I’m not supporting that wanker.

You can have all the opinions you want. In the end, the ecosystem (Linux is an ecosystem, not an OS) evolves by people with different drives trying different things, some aspects are successful and are kept, some are developed for a while and dropped, some are brilliant but never reach critical mass.

It’s a somewhat chaotic mix of engineering and tinkering that ultimately works while embracing widely opposing opinions. This quirky nature provides it with strength and flexibility.

Bottom line: we need strong opinions and people who act on those opinions to build the vision they want.

Thanks, but I’m a single player kind of person.

I find it weird that people prefer staying home to avoid talking to strangers, only to jump into MMOs with a crowd of abusing strangers.

I’m playing Heretic. Because it’s always installed and it’s a quick way to have fun and unplug the mind.

Have you considered, hear me out, that some players just hate playing with other players, because being insulted breaks immersion?

All the other micro transaction fuckery you do on top just makes it yet more unappealing.

I’ve been playing a bit of Entropy: Zero 2. Not much time to play, as I’m trying to push some hobby projects forward.

Is it possible to hate Teams more?

Linux will run on a potato, and it doesn’t even have to have hardware memory management.

Parenting done right.

Turns out that you have to explicitly mount btrfs with the option compress=zstd (or compress=lzo as you prefer) to get any compression done, and I was not doing that. Also, to apply compression to existing data, you have to defragment with compression enabled. Alternatively, you can create a subvolume and set the compression property.

This explains it quite well.

As an outsider watching moronic CEOs discarding people like trash, it seems pretty clear who should be fired first and only.

Hello Debian my old friend…

Challenge accepted.

I’m not a racing game person but I love this one. You can just run around doing stupid stuff. I find that very liberating.

Beautiful game, love it.

I own every game they launched. This one has been on my wishlist for a while.

Otherwise, we’ll all wake up to a world where robots run the country, without a clue what empathy is.

I laughed out loud. Brilliant.

I’ll be away for a while, but I’ll get some stats, because now I’m also curious.
