Games and multiplayer have existed before any of this mess, so it is evidently not necessary. If a publisher thinks otherwise, they can’t continue to make multiplayer games. Sucks to be them I guess, I’m sure others will pick up the ball
Multiple approaches have been suggested - from local multiplayer (which can potentially be extended to the internet) over releasing server binaries or source code, to providing documentation that allows to recreate a server.
Say it with me: KDE neon is a testing ground; there is a reason people work on KDE Linux; Ubuntu LTS itself is already a frequent source of problems; KDE killed LTS releases for pretty much the same reason - backporting stuff sucks.
I’m wondering what the problem even is. I mean, can’t you just put all the stuff relevant to 32 bit gaming into a ‘retro-gaming’ package and be like “there, now if you want updates, better find maintainers”?
If you have an old game, chances are you won’t need many new features. Only problem could be other packages or the kernel becoming incompatible. I don’t know how relevant that is in this instance.
To be fair, I doubt AI could much worse than Intel’s current marketing division.
Although I have seen little marketing bs by Intel recently, maybe they stepped up their game by not doing anything
Can’t tell if that’s another misuse of ‘quantum leap’ or an intended pun so I’m going with the latter
X11 is dead, stop wasting time on it
I mean, black holes are pretty future proof
I’m sure laptops with only 1 NVMe slot exist, but you can just not buy them
Maybe the even more important question: Why can you even opt out? Why is this not done on-device, without anything going anywhere to begin with?
I mean, I know the answer, you know the answer, everyone knows the answer. If this was truly privacy preserving, there would be no need to opt out.
Hasn’t Huawei done this for ages? And Samsung attempted the same? I mean, it’s still news, it just feels weird that the Pixels are pointed out of all things, even when ignoring Apple.
Any intel on affected, high-profile software?
Plug and play mostly, think you need an extra one for the media engine
I think the main complaint is that it seems like Canonical is trying take control of Linux packaging. Don’t they handle their stuff in a way that pretty much prevents third party ‘Snap Stores’? Like, their backend being closed source and their software only accepting their own signatures?
TSMC is working on channels for liquid cooling build into chips, so we’ll probably submerge future ones
Imagine having a thing like that but with a touch screen. Like, a rectangular assistant you can always carry with you! Oh, wait…
“That’s neat, I wonder whether I can configure it…”
Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn’t. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.
Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.
Package: Uses version of other package dev told it to
User: Complains
Now that’s what I call… Hard evidence.
I’ll show myself the
