I think there’s definitely an element of “the people in charge know what to do”, or that it’s a transient problem, not one which locks us into effort for centuries.

If there was a word for “genius” but for being a good person instead of smart, she would be that.

Overall the issue is that they’re not a “like” technology for ICE cars. The transition won’t happen without regulation. In Norway the vast majority of new car sales are EVs. China too has basically moved straight to EV infrastructure rather than ICE. It can be done but the government has got to do the job. In countries where they are unwilling to, this isn’t going to work.

The olive oil is an example.

I’d like to fix climate change instead?

Honestly I think walking in with a friendly way to explain climate science to a layperson is a bad strategy with politicians. They should come with full technical details and use precise scientific terms. Expect politicians to learn that shit if they want to argue.

Seen this in olive oil prices. It’s already happening.

Idiots don’t realise that hurricanes are controlled from Australia, from pine gap.

I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.

I’ve given up. I’m going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.

No, it’s another company, but I know nothing about them.

This is fine. I don’t mind a diversity of opinion here. I agree that Proton is a stop-gap solution, and that most older games are going to need it, and newer AAA games are not going to support Linux all of a sudden.

However, I do think that we should continue to encourage developers to create native builds when they can. Indie devs tend to do this and it’s a pretty great experience. Not only that, it often enables playing on unusual devices such as SBCs. For example, UFO 50 was made in Gamemaker, which offers native Linux builds, and it’s already on Portmaster. You basically can’t do that with Proton.

My problem is calling people who want Linux native games misguided or wrong. I really don’t think that’s helpful.

I wish he wouldn’t repeat the idea that Proton is acceptable to game devs and Linux users shouldn’t demand native games. I’m much closer to Nick’s (from Linux Experiment) idea: That these games work as long as a company like Valve pays for Proton. The day Valve stops is the day these Proton games start to rot. For archival, for our own history, and for actual games on Linux, we should want Linux native games.

The thing is, the “no tux no bucks” crowd doesn’t advocate for other people to say the same. The proton crowd is actively telling the “no tux no bucks” people to shut up, and it’s not very nice. We need a multitude of views to succeed in the long term as a community.

Oh wow this is Bevy and Rust?! RIP to everyone saying no “real” games are made in Rust.

Bespoke

Yet another reason PC is superior.

I remember thinking this in 2005 odd. I said something to the effect of “If you think Climate Change doesn’t exist, start an insurance company” Unfortunately, turns out all insurance companies weren’t really pricing in climate…

Not a premium user but Youtube has poisoned its own waters with its algorithm. You can see the “top” content basically gaming that algorithm as well as it can. Literally every part of it from the title to the thumbnail to the content itself is hollow except for the skinner box.

Bit of both. Actually I think ARM the ISA overall is in good (even great!) shape, but it’s the GPU and other SoC functions which cause the most headaches.

Qualcomm had an exclusivity deal with Microsoft which has expired. I think that’s what is causing them to put relevant code in mainline.
