Offline content as an app without extra permissions seems pretty justified. This is a curated Flipboard or subreddit with the ability to buy tickets, which maybe you could do on Flipboard/Reddit, but then Flipboard/Reddit would profit from the curation, not the person doing the curation who made an app.

If anything, not breaking things makes you more careful about what you put in. I feel like that's not a bad rule to go by.

Might as well make it a trifecta: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/western-megadroug...

> I can accept and respect not creating Linux builds as engineering (using Windows only APIs, libraries, etc.) and business (not enough market) decisions..

Yep, and if somebody made your game work under Wine/Proton or Bottles/Heroic, just pay them to support it or create an AppImage/Flatpak and that's the easiest way to get compatibility.

Flatpak is basically Docker for linux, there are layers and everything. What you're saying should be possible if you make a AppImage/Flatpak out of the Steam Runtime+Proton(if needed)+Game, it should run anywhere with the right drivers.

That's fair, I do agree with the article, people work on what they want to work on. If happiness is $70k+hobbies, so be it.

I think there's money left on the table in both cases. Community funding will hopefully grow as users grow and the value grows, a reinforcing cycle, though projects might take time to get there I think. Projects like firejail could do commercial work, but don't.

Except projects like Blender, Grafana, and others like it started small and became big. Building something commercially successful is an additional step, it's optional, but totally doable. There are distros and open source apps/games that charge on stores, which have developed a commercial component. Paying for work is a good thing to be doing.

The untainted kernel is reason enough to go Nvidia if you don't think ROCm is up to the task.

We're far from the days of getting a free Redhat CD in a book, just popping it in a drive and restarting to have it start a Linux install. You're lucky now if you don't have to enable USB booting, register a hash/key, turn on a 3rd party cert or just turn turn off secure boot to get a USB drive to boot.

I think it was too easy.

Maybe I'll switch for the Zenfone 9, it seems Nexus 5x sized. I just put Lineage on a 3a for some family, so them's the breaks.

All walls must fall looks cool, I'll have to check it out.

Great game! Assuming you made the Inked game.

I remember buying $2 codes from ebay to unlock $30 cellphones, good times. Also: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/fraudster-sentenced-prison-lo...

You're asking for density or cheaper prices, but neither happened. The endurance improved, the IOPS improved, even latency a bit, but density didn't. Or it would've been cheaper than it is. I want to relate this to other forms of storage that went by the wayside, but I hope someone else will try again with a different roadmap and make it work.

FGPAs or SOCs with Optane for instant on/low latency applications would've been amazing.

Perhaps incentivizing better methods is more helpful than an outcomes in this case.

To be clear, any OS can attest they're running signed kernel/modules, it says nothing about how determined an attacker is. If you just want some confidence a user isn't a bad actor, there are other ways of doing that.

DRM is separate from security when the user has control of what exactly they want to run and how much data it may collect.

RA is a shortcut companies are taking to market for privacy and security while not mentioning lock-in, network effects and DRM. When pressed, they will ultimately still say privacy and security aren't 100%.

That said, could a Linux distro come out with the same thing as these PATs using IMA/EVM/TPM/ME/PSP? Probably (Graphene has some support for RA, but I haven't looked in depth), and as long as Cloudflare had multi-platform support, and the implementation still allows letting me have control, I wouldn't see the problem. Bugs can be exploited by anyone with the know how, and I see no reason why I should give up control because companies want to take a shortcut instead of designing proper systems.

We see Epic has already said they won't support Linux because of anti-cheat, so that scapegoat exists, but there are other games that didn't go that route! Porting costs, and size of install base are real excuses among others, but anti-cheat is a BS excuse. No shortcuts by companies and no short cuts by platforms, but we know lock-in, network effects and DRM are too good to let go.

The fit in my pants is honestly the biggest problem I've had too since getting a Pixel 6. The one-handed keyboard/screen mode works fine, the battery life is nice, and the bigger screen I mostly don't care either way about. It's big in my pants though, when I'm not using it, I think only folding phones will really solve this.

They have a backup option built into the Steam client, so you're free to do that anytime. Offcourse, there's no guarantees with multiplayer games or always-on DRM as that's always been the case with publishers who choose to go down that route.

Did you consider letting people add topics they're interested in to things like the topics proposal? Context-based ads, some random ads, and just serving me ads on topics I opt-in to would be enough for me to turn off any ad-blockers, save for fingerprinting, but I believe some standards-based progress is being made there as well.

They've added some keys to keep BR discs playing in recent updates, and apparently you can't create a PSN account from a PS3 anymore. There were "quality" and "performance" fixes until 2020.

It's my last console, the first was a SNES followed by a PSP. I used OtherOS but then upgraded anyway when it was gone. The Youtube/Netflix apps still work fine. I'm going try CFW one of these days on my early slim, just to know the temperature. https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Thermal

The PS3 got an update in may.

It's still TLC, so it should be pretty decent.

I've never had any problems with Intel drivers on their current Xe SOCs (ie. i7-1165G7), so the discreet GPUs with Xe should be pretty good I would think.

We are seeing calls to regulate TikTok more, and I wonder how many countries have laws saying user data needs to be in local countries. I think Wyden in the senate has a bill on this.

There also seems to be plenty of local competition from Flipkart, Xiaomi etc.. that might not be as big, but effectively competes, if not as broadly. I think as the other reply cheekily points out, regulators around the world have been more effective at making sure the market stays competitive and preserves privacy etc..

The pirate party FTW!

Even India has three gauges with local/intercity trains. Narrow gauge, which is mostly used for mountainous terrain (2% of the total Indian rail network), and meter gauge (3.5% of total network) which is being converted into broad gauge (5' 6").

It's interesting that the the new Marin train[1] is standard gauge, and the connector train in Pittsburg[2] too. Amtrak in the bay area is standard guage, as is Caltrain. Bart is coming to the south bay, but I wonder if more expansions wouldn't be better off going with standard gauge. Bart transfers aren't too bad.

Hey look, sys-admining your phone, but it's Apple style sys-admining, so it's ok.
