I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.

Yeah, my parents are still basically the same liberal Democrats they were when I was a kid. Meanwhile I’ve gone farther left and the rest of the family mutated into a virulent strain of fascist.

I had no idea that this was coming out, and it sort of makes me want a PS5… And then I check the price and I think I can wait a couple of years until it’s on PC.

Seriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.

I don’t think AOC has that baggage. Democratic voters want someone that isn’t a corpo-centrist running like being not-Trump is enough. Every argument that can be made against AOC could have been made against Obama in 2006 too, but he had a message that resonated and won. AOC could be in a good position to do something similar. I’d sure vote for her, even if she’s become more mainstream she’s still miles ahead of every other likely candidate.

In a weird way this makes Linux a microkernel. They’re “macro” but isolated and cooperative. Coolest patch set I’ve read about in a while.

Yeah, I also have this question. I loved playing 1 and 2 co-op but 3 and pre-sequel didn’t hold my attention at all. I’m happy to see good reviews but I’d like to hear a review from someone that doesn’t lose their access if they pan it…

You are getting this from Xwayland, so you’re running a rootless X server in the background. It’s nice that it works seamlessly, but it’s not really Wayland doing anything but managing the X window.

RIP.

I don’t really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

Agreed. It’s one thing if it’s climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there’s zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don’t bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.

This is about Linux kernel driver maintainership… It’s all open source.

On the one hand, this is sort of what betas are for.

On the other hand, doesn’t this game require secure boot for anti-cheat? I thought making your multiplayer game enforce security policy meant it was impossible to cheat!?!? Get fucked EA.

There’s just no reason to do this work. Even if you ignore the fork’s controversial maintainer, and just favor the fact that it’s maintained at all (which is what the proposal’s author is suggesting) just… Why?

X11 is basically over at this point, why throw a last minute wrench into the existing, working Xorg infrastructure?

When we dropped XFree86 back in the day there were license issues, packaging issues and a real alternative didn’t exist - all justifying the effort to switch. None of these are a problem today.

It’s more of an issue with torrent seeding. You need to be able to accept incoming connections to seed, so you need a VPN/router to allow incoming traffic to a certain port to reach your torrent client.

So, not a problem for leeching, but if you are trying to meet ratio requirements, could be a big problem.

Sports gambling is just terrible for everyone except the bloodsuckers that run it. Sports teams don’t want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games. Personal bankruptcy and domestic abuse skyrocket when people lose money they can’t afford to lose. Now the apps feed an unstable addiction literally all day long.

Thanks to the Supreme Court for pulling a bullshit ruling out of their collective asses in 2018 that makes everything worse for average Americans.

Shit, I don’t even gamble and I’m just sick of their logos and ads all over every thing when I watch a game. Used to be they had “Gambling Prohibited” up around the stadium, now they may as well own the teams.

They really did you a favor by breaking your existing, paid for software and then designing a chip to emulate another processor to fix the problem they made.

Anyway, enjoy your low power draw. I’ll be over here running my whole Steam library on a handheld device that costs less than your RAM upgrade.

I mean, yeah, that’s what happens when you still want to be 32 bit compatible. It’s also why I said they were ELF64 when needed. My only point was that it’s not like Valve just shipped a bunch of 32 bit binaries and called it a day or x64 support was some kind of after thought that needs future support.

Oh, you were still talking about emulating an x86 binary? That’s kind of a weird comparison because if you’re running Linux and want to run x86 software you can just do it on x86. No corporation is forcing you off of the game’s native architecture.

Right, I’m not talking about Steam, I don’t think misk was either, the context is Apple transitioning to ARM silicon.

Also Steam definitely runs native 64 bit on x64 systems. It’s intended to run in either environment, and so will have 32 bit deps, but if you start Steam, the actual executables you’re running (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper) are 64 bit ELFs when needed. And, of course, games run in 64 bits and link to a 64 bit steam client library.
