Stupid fucking comment.

I was merely stating in simple words what Apple’s product is and that their customers respond to exactly that. You choice of words shows that a loud fraction of their user base is a cult, though.

People buying Apple products want to be told by Apple what’s allowed. The walled garden is core to Apple’s product philosophy. It’s not like everybody was expecting Apple to be super open and inclusive with anything and then be taken by surprise from the Fortnite situation. Even before they deprecated open standards because their own tech is supposedly evolving faster and are better integrated.

People wanting to play Fortnite on phones can just get a reasonably specced Android phone and install EGS next to Play Store with just a few taps.

At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

I’m so hyped about machine-generated output from copyrighted data being fine. “No, your honor. I did not pirate a copyrighted film. I distributed a machine-generated re-encoding of a film that is a close approximation but not not the original copyrighted film. As you can see, you honor, the copyright information was stripped, therefore it’s fine.”

I will. I promise. I’m also not a teacher.

I always want symmetric licensing for community contributions. I have the same stance for Canonical and their Contribution License Agreement that also gives Canonical the exclusive rights to sell proprietary licenses.

This is a general stance I have, no matter who it is.

Valve does symmetric licensing for their SteamOS components, so there is precedent.

Also, I think you read way more into my comment than I actually meant, as if “sour taste” is the same as making demands.

Do they officially support Linux yet?

Unreal Engine has official Linux support since ages. Unreal Engine running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is what movie CGI creators often use these days. It’s a highly lucrative market they’re not going to give up.

Epic Online Services supports Linux as well: https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-online-services/eos-get-started/platform-support (which includes Easy Anti Cheat)

So when Fortnite and Rocket League have no Linux versions, it’s just because of lack of will, not anything technological.

What is it, like an SDK?

Yes, Valve released TF2’s game logic as part of the Source 1 SDK.

To what?

Read the article and find out.

Despite such stories are a regular occurrence, there’s still a loud part of the user base proclaiming that Proton is better than native Steam Linux Runtime V3 game ports.

This leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Because the source code is not real open source, the contributors of those fixes have fewer rights to their own code than Valve. Valve should have just made the code proper open source. Keep the art assets proprietary, basically what id Software did when they were still cool. It’s not like the Source 1 Engine contains great trade secrets after all those years since release and if it did, the non-commercial license would not keep snooping eyes away.

Just get rid of everything Nvidia. Problem solved.

All power to you. Take your time and feel free to announce it properly to the whenever you’re ready.

My completely non representative opinion is that a WebKitGTK browser that works well and feels fine across desktops is a niche looking to be filled.

Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.

Looks good

Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?

Only if you bring her name up.

Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.

So torrenting movies would be legal then. Great.
