Excellent explanation. Thank you
Mereo is a sociologist who is also a nerd. He believes in open-source software.

Excellent explanation. Thank you
Haha. we’re officially old. I was an extremely competitive gamer back then. I played Quake 3, UT 99, Tribes 2, America’s Army, etc. I was even in a Tribes 2 squad and we basically practiced for tournaments every day.
But now that life is stressful enough with the responsibilities I have, I just can’t play competitive games anymore. I just want to enjoy the story. I no longer have the stamina and the reflex for competitive games anymore.
I use Proton Experimental to play my games and they all work without exception. I’m in my late 30s, so I no longer play competitive games that have a kernel rootkit, I mean kernel anti-cheat.
Basically, Linux gaming is like this: If you want to play competitive games with anti-cheat, stay or play in Windows. For all other games, play in Linux.
This is what happens on my phone when I update apps at the same time:
Wait? What?! Android didn’t support this basic feature? iPhone did for quite some time now…
What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.
This is fuged up.
Another service to the graveyard: https://killedbygoogle.com/
Nevertheless, they will need legal guidance to navigate this issue. These Lemmy instances are run by volunteers.
If anything that just makes you more suspicious.
Nah. I work from home, I need to use my work’s VPN to access resources that are only available to those on the network. VPN use is now generalized.
It’s all about the social capital. The social capital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_capital?wprov=sfti1) of someone born in jail is going to be less than someone born outside of jail.
Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.
Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.
Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.
I just love how professional the Lemmy instances have become. They went from having stability issues to being extremely stable. I love our Lemmy community.
Keep up the good work!
Run them in Bottle, then disable internet access for the games.
sigh. Most people will just accept the new default permissions without blinking an eye. They’re taking advantage of people’s ignorance.
Thank God I switched to Linux. Windows 11 is a glimpse of what’s coming in Windows 12.

Explain your thought.
Slowly but surely. Reddit has had 18 years to build a base of 500 million.
A little explanation, there are two different types of drivers:
Kernel Drivers: The low-level software that directly controls your Video card, managing essential functions like memory and power.
User-space Drivers: The higher-level software that translates graphics commands from applications and games into instructions your video card can understand.
Here NVIDIA wants to kill the proprietary kernel driver and have the open source kernel included in the kernel by default. This means that the distros or you simply need to download the user-space binary blob driver without having to recompile the kernel driver every time the Nvidia drivers are updated.
