> Only obscure titles get truly lost. They are obscure for a reason. They can be obscure for many reasons, only one of which are it's quality as a piece of art. There was an album, "Begin", released by a group of…
> This is arbitrarily narrowing the definition of market as far as possible No it isn't, it's literally a market. Dominos pizzas aren't created and sold by third parties. If you're going to make a comparison, try…
Let's look at Merriam-Webster '1: exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action specifically : exclusive control of a particular market that is marked by the power to control prices…
For fair amount of time Giant Bomb was owned by CBS and during that time I saw plenty of emulators getting used.
Yeah this is the thing. Everyone seems to be forgetting about economies of scale.
A surprising amount of newer-ish DVD players will play H.264 off a DVD just fine and AVCHD is essentially Bluray formats and file structs on a DVD.
It's interesting how attitudes towards this are so different across industries. Jeff Gerstmann is a fairly well known and well connected video game journalist and he straight up does streams where he plays emulators…
They were using the word correctly, "monopoly" doesn't only mean greatly dominant player in an open market. Current consoles are by definition vertical monopolies.
> It makes parts of the CIA look incompetent to the public. This is rare. Iran–Contra? Their cyber espoinage tools getting swiped? The self-admission from the US administration that the CIA failed to properly recognize…
> glass-walled skyscrapers really aren't complicated either Until they become a focusing mirror that turns into a gigantic magnifying glass, see: the Walkie Talkie building. Evidently, glass buildings are hard enough…
Understanding why pain happens is what allowed for anesthesia and modern medicine, which massively improved the quality of life of our species. Did we need to figure out how to do that? Sure, in the same way we needed…
A stylus is crafted, paper in manufacturered. I suppose you can rip off some bark and scribble onto it, but what are you writing? Words. Do you know every word ever? Do you have comprehension of the meaning of every…
> You are making benchmarking WAAAY more complicated than it has to be. We're talking about some dude considering a switch to Linux, but isn't sure the performance is on par. Just load up your game and hit the benchmark…
Just like there's LLM-automated vulnerability fuzzing, there's LLM-automated decompilation. Compilation is no longer a meaningful way to obscure code.
It's features work fine without Steam on Linux.
I don't think I was and I think that you're focusing so strongly on a perceived strawman rather than the actual topic is an admission that you're just projecting.
You were talking to an audience of tech nerds, as was the original blog post we're all discussing. All of your counter-arguments in you original post were appeals to that base and merely suggesting that Gmail users…
I'm grandfathered to get unlimited updates, though if they rugpull on that the drives are just formatted as XFS. It'd be a hassle to move to something like TrueNAS, but I could do it even if the OS stopped working. Even…
Funny you bring up Gmail as a positive example when they reneged on their promise of unlimited storage 5 years ago. Most of my media is backed up on my Unraid server, the most important stuff is backed up on an external…
I'm an Australian and there isn't a single person I know that isn't anti-america at this point, that includes conservatives. This was reflected in the last election, where the party most aligned with the US got…
You're posting in a thread discussing news of a legal outcome that showed that free market competition did not prevent anti-competitive practices and instead required legal/regulatory intervention to solve.
Might be hard for them to do that given this lawsuit is hard proof that it isn't true.
Thanks for reading! I've been following this all pretty closely, it's been exciting. The year of the linux desktop is kind of a punchline, but it's sort of a misnomer anyway. It was never going to happen in the span of…
Steam Deck is an x64-based PC running Arch Linux with FOSS Mesa drivers, which are shared among all modern AMD GPUs. There's extra wrinkles with Nvidia GPUs, but their proprietary driver is the Windows driver with a…
SteamOS is Arch with atomic updates and some custom patches here and there. The system stack is pretty standard; Mesa drivers, Steam Linux Runtime, Proton, it's all what ships on every other distro. The only significant…
