You mean that's how Bill Gates gives your baby autism.

Fuck that shit. I'll release all Microsoft code under GPL so people can figure their own shit out. As for people who built their business on Azure? The will reap what they sowed.
Make me your king, and I will take us to the GNU-Slash-Linux holy land.
and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.
This is misinformation.
KDE users got a broken Nvidia driver.
It's kind of romantic. Thinking of all the hoops they had to jump through to get this intimate setup just right brings a tear to my eye.
Around $3 trillion dollars so that I can buy Microsoft and shut them down, paving the way for the GNU/Linux desktop.
All single board computers have driver problems because they require custom kernel forks that can't or don't get mainlined for whatever reason (usually laziness), but Raspberry PI is actually the best when it comes to that stuff.
So when you buy an SBC, you need to ask yourself: will the company continue to develop/update/patch their custom kernel fork now that they shipped? Or will they just abandon it and move on to the next product? 9 times out of 9.01, it's the latter.
Tell me you haven't used Linux in the past ~20 years without telling me you haven't used Linux in the past ~20 years
Oh shit, you're actually a modder! Thanks for helping to keep these old games alive, and keep up the good work!!
I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
I don't remember all the steps I had to do, but I do remember it being a pain in the ass. I downloaded the black edition from myabandonware.com and installed a widescreen mod (which messed up the UI since some elements were slightly offscreen, but it didn't bother me).
Besides that, the only other annoyance was the controls. There are actually a lot of community layouts for this game, but the ones I ended up using were a pain when navigating the menus. You'll definitely want to try a few.
FWIW, here are my current working launch settings for it:
- Proton 8.0-4
- Launch Options:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
So I guess if you get past the installer, those should get it to launch.
Even Steam themselves say it sucks for preventing piracy:
The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not an anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.
Plus, it's optional for devs.
This is far from the first (or last) time he wrote something like this. This was just a regular thing in the kernel world for a long time (until Linus matured a little).
Whether or not it was a good thing is up for debate I think. Yeah, it's very rude and unprofessional (and discourages new contributors who don't want to risk getting chewed out), but considering the importance of the Linux kernel, it's good to know the lead maintainer is doing too much of the right thing than not enough (i.e. being lax with bad code in order to be respectful). I'm fine knowing that a few tech workers got their egos smashed if it gives me confidence that the code powering civilization is high quality.
