I'm not saying you should, I'm saying it doesn't make them villains or a bad company.

But it does, paying third parties to not publish on your competitors platform is the oldest anti-competitive behaviour in the book.

It would have been completely fine if they started out with actually funding development of new games and only releasing them on their store.

I would have even given them some slack for their bad launcher since they were new to this.

Instead we are here, almost 6 years later. Their launcher is still trash, their exclusive deals were a complete money sink, EGS is still not profitable, they burned all bridges to Valve and are not one step closer to their claim that 30% is too much and they can do it with ~~8%~~ 12%.

They should have spent those millions to fund development of a store that can actually compete with the competition and studios that produce games, which they then can sell on their own platform.

Instead they snatched up every new release on the way to Steam while still not being able to provide the basic necessities of a modern PC store front.

So why should I bother purchasing something from them? They have nothing to offer and actively make it harder for me to play games through their store with their anti-Steam Deck stance.

Yes, because Docker becomes significantly more powerful once every container has a different publicly addressable IP.

Altough IPv6 support in Docker is still lacking in some areas right now, so add that to the long list of IPv6 migration todos.

Flathub is actually fairly strict with its submissions, probably too much work for most fake submissions to follow the PR guidelines.

Steam is only DRM if Steamworks is required for the game to launch, e.g. I can copy my Baldur's Gate 3 files to a different PC and launch them without Steam.

It's up to the developer how they behave if Steam is not present.

Fedora:

  • Put H264 and H265 hardware video decoding back in
  • Make Flathub the default Flatpak repository
  • Make the installer easier for beginners by hiding advanced settings most won't need
  • Make their KDE spin more prominent, currently you have to look for it to find it

when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption

At the current speed that would approximately be in 2087.

I tried it on a 6900 XT recently and generation time was well under half a second.

Results are not as good as with SDXL but for the time it needs it's very impressive.

An IP address is no longer associated with just one website/domain name. There could be thousands of websites running on a single IP address.

As is, anyone can currently look at your encrypted traffic and see in plain text which site you're surfing to. So this proposal is long overdue.

Docker! I have never experienced a more unpleasant software than Docker for Windows.

It's nitpicking, whether it runs at 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 does not matter. Same goes for calling it 4K or UHD, even when one is technically incorrect.

If even Sony calls their 3840x2160 blu-rays "4K UHD" I'm fine with the average person using them interchangeable.
