  • Steam beta gets native Apple Silicon support — the only public Arm version of Steam

    Jump

  • Oh, you were still talking about emulating an x86 binary? That's kind of a weird comparison because if you're running Linux and want to run x86 software you can just do it on x86. No corporation is forcing you off of the game's native architecture.

  • Right, I'm not talking about Steam, I don't think misk was either, the context is Apple transitioning to ARM silicon.

    Also Steam definitely runs native 64 bit on x64 systems. It's intended to run in either environment, and so will have 32 bit deps, but if you start Steam, the actual executables you're running (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper) are 64 bit ELFs when needed. And, of course, games run in 64 bits and link to a 64 bit steam client library.

  • Linux on ARM is stuck in the mud? Huh? Everything works fine on ARM, including the desktop. There are like a billion ARM devices running Linux right now.

    Or did you mean Linux on Apple hardware? Because that's by design.

  • Mario Kart World | Review Thread

  • Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I'm pretty sure these games aren't even in the same genre.

  • Elon hits the red button

  • I always love this meme. The way that dude is simultaneously smiling, hitting weed, and in an action stance in case shit comes his way just makes me laugh.

  • I had to give up on Soulslike games. It's not that I can't do it, it's that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I'm cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I'm supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

  • Steam deck or micro ATX or looong HDMI cord?

    Jump

  • Not sure it's really relevant to OP, but I'll vouch for Moonlight. I use it to stream from my beefy desktop to my laptop/Linux tablet that both have weak little integrated GPUs. It's not perfect, need a strong internet connection, but it's 100x better than Steam's integrated version and for remote desktop access too.

    A handy tip is that you can fake second monitors without any extra hardware so you don't have to give up a connected screen either.

  • Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year

  • Pace makers keep you from dying so they're sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you're probably not around to buy another.

    If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for "monitoring" your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

  • I'm with you on 1 and 2, but "reduced lingual skills" I think is a bit of a stretch. Becoming fluent in another language takes a lot of effort and people only do it if they have a good long term reason.

    I think it's more likely this would cover the vacation / short term business case that is already covered by human interpreters (or apps already) instead.

  • Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?

    Jump

  • Hey, that's great. I'm not sure it's a way to reach full communism, but good on them.

  • Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?

    Jump

  • Perfect example. Insurance is an entire industry of blood sucking middle men producing absolutely nothing.

    Good luck to your friend. Sorry they have to support a useless leech corporation instead of, you know, paying that money to actual workers.

  • Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?

    Jump

  • It's really hard to generalize about leftist groups. The communists that feel this way have formed co-ops, or are cooperating with anarchists to do something like syndicalism (focused on unionizing existing businesses).

    But the methods to start and grow businesses in a capitalist country inherently rely on acting like a capitalist. Getting loans requires a business plan that makes profit, acquiring facilities and other businesses requires capital. Local co-ops exist because they can attract members and customers that value their co-opness, but it's very hard to scale that up to compete at a regional level. It's not impossible, but it's hard to view it as an engine for vast change.

    Communists that focus on voting are delusional (in my opinion) but like all reformists they view the existing government as the mechanism to make widespread change.

  • Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?

  • I thought it was great, premise and execution.

  • Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this time

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was part of those arguments too. In a perfect world Linux would have enough market share to warrant native ports, but Proton getting Wine one-click integrated into Steam and easily targetable is a more realistic bridge to that scenario than holding out on principle. As it is Linux gaming is in the best shape it's ever been in thanks to Proton.

    I also think the argument held more weight 20 years ago, before we started packaging up end user apps in giant self-contained images regularly.

  • Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this time

    Jump

  • This is a non-issue. If you're a gaming company in the era of Proton, it makes more sense to just focus on Windows issues than to open yourself to support requests from people running any brand of Linux. Proton is just so much easier to target than standalone Linux and you can serve the Linux community / Steam Deck users without needing any actual expertise.

  • Use the 'scaled' sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.

  • Whose the worst workplace bully you've ever met?

    Jump

  • It only looks that way if you're dumb. There are only two types of society in this world: racist, and racist but trying to deal with it.

    It's why I have a lot of schadenfreude for Sweden/Scandinavia as well. Enlightened multicultural social democracy for everyone... Until migrants show up with the wrong race/religion then suddenly a fascist contingent of your population materializes and there's a "security crisis"

  • Meta could take a $7 billion hit this year because of Trump's tough China tariffs

    Jump

  • Any billionaire would take this deal. The hit is in imaginary money (i.e. stock/corporate assets) that won't affect their daily lives and in return they get unspecified favors from the (other) oligarchs.
