I’d be happy if they did and adopted Heroic as an official launcher. However, if that happens, I’d still want proper controller support to be added so that browsing the GOG store in Heroic doesn’t require mouse and keyboard bindings on something like a Steam Deck.

Because I use a Steam Deck and having a launcher for third-party stores is the easiest way to install games.

Additionally, the reasons mentioned in the other comments.

Anything but properly supporting the Linux community 🤡

How have they still not learned that the largest intersection of the people that care about their core value proposition (game preservation, DRM-free, etc.) are Linux users?? It’s not like they have to create the compatibility layers from scratch; Valve did it for them.

If they provided a launcher for Linux users, I’d actually buy shit from them. Yes, Heroic Launcher exists, but I’m not paying GOG for the work that the Heroic dev did. I want first-party support.

You can just write bash scripts in your actions if you want them to be easily replicatable on your local machine, so you don’t really lose anything with that system.

Can someone explain why, and what to use them for?

HelixWiki when 😭

Unfortunately, from trying this myself, I don’t think you can forward port 53 to the Android host, so that won’t work (easily). It seems that privileged ports aren’t allowed to be forwarded.

3 absolutely did. But that said, not all of the original tracks made it into the 1+2 remake, so I wouldn’t base whether or not you buy it on that.

I’m very firmly in the Rust for Linux camp because I am in the “make Linux better” camp, and I don’t see why eventually getting Zig in the kernel would be a problem. If Zig solves problems that C and Rust don’t, by all means, it should be brought in.

However, one of the primary reasons Rust was chosen is that it is memory-safe by default. Zig, on the other hand, has opt-in safety. So unsafe Zig should probably only go in very specific places where C and Rust can’t do the job. And ideally, there would be some rules that require the usage of safe Zig everywhere else.

Ignoring Zig, the language, Zig’s compiler toolchain is hands-down, the best I’ve ever seen, and I think introducing Zig to the kernel by making “Zig-built Linux” a thing, would be a really natural way to get that process going.

I just cant wrap my head around why they’re willing to go so far to gain good will from people by having such a generous free tier, but somehow licensing the code under a FOSS license is out of the question??

Why not just go all the way and make sure everyone who cares about reading the souce could also give you free contributions?

Yes, because private property is theft. But unequal enforcement of copyright law is worse. Right now, LLMs are just lying machines trained on pirated data and the companies that run them are acting with impunity for doing something a normal person would get put in jail for.

Copyright is immoral, but as long as it exists, the laws should be extra strict on companies that steal others’ works.

After reading the lkml, it really does seem like the C dev just being hostile to Rust. The C dev just outright refuses to accept any of the compromises from the Rust dev, and is pretty rude about it.

Idk why, but some of these people need to hear that languages are not a team sport and fighting and being hostile to people about it just makes the Linux kernel worse.

Helix is best editor 😏

journalctl and binary logging are annoying bullshit.

Nah. Even if the Snapstore backend were FOSS, you should still avoid Snaps because the way they implemented sandboxing subtly breaks many applications.

Not to mention, they dishonestly co-opt your apt install invocations to sneakily install the Snap version. Actual Microsoft behavior. If a company is that eager to deceive you and shove their tech down your throat, you should avoid it at all costs.

Good things take time. But it seems close enough to ready if you didn’t accidentally by a Nvidia garbage GPU. You can already run the Steam Deck image on most AMD hardware just fine.

Does Mistral actually provide the training datasets, or are they using the fake definition of “”“open source AI”“” that the OSI has massaged into being as megacorp friendly as possible?

They would still have disproportionate control over web standards. They should not be allowed to keep Chrome/Chromium under any circumstances.

“Banned” used to mean “you’re done”. Now every little time-out is a “ban”. Can we use words correctly instead of lying for clicks?

Flood it with nonsense questions asked by shitty synthesized voices from the 90’s.
