Amazing game, and one of those "video games as art" that is often overlooked. The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about, but the narrative would not have been nearly as powerful if it wasn't completely interactive.

Maybe we could get some young, impressionable, IDF kids to play that white phosphorous sequence so they can learn what it feels like in a video game without having to actually murder countless civilians.

Wish this woman could be our president.

Ooooohhh can't wait to see the idiotic conspiracy theories about this...

Also, just more shit for crystal mommies with no scientific literacy to use to try to explain "energy" to me.

I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I've found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can't get rid of without rooting.

They very explicitly do not collect audio when you haven't used a wake word or activated it some other way.

Lol k

Nobody is going to SIM swap you unless you have a shitload of crypto and let everyone know about it. It's not an easy attack, so it would have to be targeted. Pretty easy to not be a target (not having millions of dollars of crypto on a wallet helps).

Dude, same. I cannot understand it (for games. I'm sure people have valid reasons if they're using the Deck for some other purpose). It seems there is a cohort of otherwise relatively tech savvy people who are just terrified of all things "Linux."

Maybe they heard horror stories from friends or family while growing up and aren't aware of just how close to complete compatibility Proton is. In fact, in some cases, it can somehow run games better than if one were to dual boot and install in Windows.

Even Valve's own Steam Deck verification should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems as though they're being extra conservative with those. I've gotten several "unsupported " games working (very easily), for example , Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition is listed on Steam as "unsupported," but it works great (with DSFix even) on my Deck.

ProtonDB is a far better resource for anyone reading this who hadn't heard of it.

But yeah, it's almost like this subconscious aversion to Linux. And they want to be in their comfort zone I guess.

I feel like everyone is talking about this as if it was a PR thing, but I imagine these guys (and their families) started getting death threats immediately after. They could be getting specific threats about violence at their upcoming concerts. Now isn't really the time to not take that kind of shit seriously unfortunately. Yes, it's right-wing terrorism. Yes, it works. Unfortunately.

I see this as being more about self-preservation, and the safety of their families (and fans), than about PR. But maybe I'm wrong.

Yes there is. It's called: stop being a religious ethnostate. Maybe try being a secular, Democratic nation that doesn't literally have an apartheid system.

South Africa was able to do it. Are you saying, with all of the funding my country is sending Israel (on my dime, by the way) they can't do what South Africa did in the 1990s? Sounds like a bullshit excuse.

Stop buying the propaganda. Both Netanyahu (and Likud in general) as well as Hamas have great interest in preventing a one state solution. It is of one of the few shared goals that they can agree on, and they have been doing everything in their power for decades to prevent that from even being an option on the table.

And they've been wildly successful, as people balk at the very concept of rebuffing religious nationalism in favor of secular democracy with a one state solution.

It's the only possible way to achieve any kind of lasting peace in the region.

Two-state solution is not a viable path to a lasting peace.

Does it mean Nvidia support on par with that for AMD?

I'm probably not the right person to answer this, but my immediate thought was no. I believe AMD allows for open source drivers on Linux, which this specifically states Nvidia won't be doing.
