Yeah this is a big part why I’m very skeptical of Signal. It feels a lot like Ubuntu’s snap store, it’s technically open but you can’t really interact with the main corporate controlled ecosystem.

Did you read the article? It’s talking primarily about how this could be really good for consumers.

The last commit was two days ago and the last update was two months ago (at least for me on Android).

While this is still a massive problem, it does require a public fork at some point. So if you have a private repo that has never had a public fork, you should be safe.

Oh yeah, to be clear I don’t think Macs can’t be good gaming machines, it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be heading that way right now.

Windows has one major thing going for it: it’s best-in-class for gaming. It might even be the greatest gaming platform of all time. Linux and even Mac are gaining ground, but they’ve got a little ways to go.

…is Mac gaming actually gaining ground? From listening to a friend of mine who has a Mac, it sounds like Mac gaming is going steadily backwards. Wine and similar doesn’t work very well for them, and Mac compatibility is happening with fewer and fewer games. Game Porting Toolkit isn’t really for end users, is it? Is there something else my friend is missing?

Even if it wasn’t a gimmick, it still wouldn’t be benevolent. Corporations only lower prices when they think the lower price can make them more money overall.

That said, Valve does not support the official Ubuntu way of installing Steam, which is via snap (‘apt install steam’ will install the snap). So you have to make sure to install the Steam way (manually via the deb) instead.

Yeah, Wine is very strict about this; IIRC if you’ve ever even looked at the leaked Windows XP source code, you’re not allowed to work on Wine.

Yeah, I love my XCover Pro for this.

Eh, IIRC there’s research that if you eat incredible amounts it’ll likely be bad for you. But it’s a lot and the equivalent amount of sugar would be way way worse.

There are tons of x86 Chromebooks still tho.

The first 14 times McCarthy failed to get voted in. They disliked McCarthy so much it took 15 votes to get them in the first place.

Don’t they need to pass another budget before the Ukraine funding needs to be renewed?

Plagiarism isn’t just using someone else’s work. It’s when you use someone else’s work and claim it was your own. The programmers aren’t plagiarizing as they’re being freely admitting it’s not their work.

Worst performance of trying to get your money.

Sounds like the article uninstalled itself.

It even applies to new installs of existing games.
