Sure, that’s fair, but 1) you’re just one user out of many thousands, and 2) stuff like “multiple 4 minute ads in a video” is usually rolled out through A/B testing, so many users probably never saw it.

Apps and video games have been thoroughly enshittified, at least on mobile, but also partially on desktop. Amazon Prime is also still very successful and people have not stopped watching Amazon shows entirely.

Do you see the major difference? In audio streaming, most providers have most content. In video streaming, single providers have most content. That means video streaming will get enshittified much more quickly.

It would most likely still mean less engagement overall. YouTube recommendations are strongly based on interactions and momentum. If part of your core fanbase watches & interacts on other platforms, you’re recommended to fewer people outside your fanbase, so over time your viewership shrinks.

My friend, please run to the next available doctor

If the story is true, I’m guessing this was mistranslated & it could have cost them millions if the cats damaged the equipment. If it really cost them anything, they’d have mentioned what happened.

skong release when??

Is there a RISCV chip available with comparable performance & efficiency to current ARM chips? Seems like Valve would kill any chance their headset has if they unnecessarily reduced time between charging cycles.

I haven’t had any issues with my 8BitDo controller on Proton 10.x.

It can be, spinning iron has pretty bad throughput.

First, it’s not true that there’s no protection - various anti-cheat solutions do support Linux.

Second, “strong” solutions still let through cheaters, because client-side anti cheat is an inherently unwinnable cat-and-mouse game. It’s better for everyone to block kernel-level AC and instead force better backend solutions.

Not sure I understand - games with kernel-level anti cheat also still have cheaters.

Currently kernel-level anti cheat isn’t available for Linux, so games that are released with multiplayer support don’t require it (e.g. games that enable Linux support in EAC).

If kernel-level anti cheat is supported by Valve, many of those games will start requiring it. So if you don’t want kernel stuff, there’s a real chance this development will reduce the number of available games in the future.

Fixed save points in general.

To be fair, non-fixed savepoints introduce a bunch of additional work, especially on the gameplay design and testing sides, and for some games that work is better invested into other aspects of the game.

But if savepoints are fixed, they have to be frequent enough to not become an issue.

Well yes, after all they only have two layers of eyelids. That’s nowhere near enough for a good nap!

Ya know… you can take down the curtains as often as you’d like, yet they won’t call you “curtain take-down”.

You can fall off the bed every day, yet they won’t call you “bed fall”.

But imitate a dung beetle one time…

This one?
