So there are two Japanese companies, what racial bias is there then?

But would those 10 people make other 10 posts when they are overrun by posts unrelated to this community by people who don’t want discussion and just want to vent their anger?

my Lemmy feed has been absolutely FLOODED with US political news for MONTHS

Damn I’m so glad that propaganda flow that for some reason was even allowed in most of Lemmy will stop now.

Well she did have a decent chance judging by results. It’s not like it was a crushing victory.

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

That’s just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company’s lawyers, said he isn’t working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.

And what’s worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.

Yeah, it’s literally whether the publisher wants to install malware with their games or not.

They are still in the mindset of “we are the only player in the field and people can’t live without us”.

No, they are in the mindset “we are a company selling cloud Linux, our legacy products are money drain”. They clearly state it in their yearly reports.

I don’t think the point is to do anything on sales. Valve profit from sales. It’s to raise the problem so now the managers have to decide on a scale how much they abuse the players. Before it wasn’t even a problem, now it’s Valve: “maybe you shouldn’t wink wink”

I don’t think that’s fair. I “own” GTA5 and don’t really care for the last… 8 years? what they add. I had the full content of my purchase. Why should I be able to gain money for this?

That’s why it’s a big disturbing banner where most gamers don’t understand the text but know that big disturbing banner is bad. Will it affect the sales? Not at all. But it will raise the problem(mostly Linux anticheat) to the higher standing people in the gaming companies than before because now they require those top level managers to make a decision is it big disturbing banner or Linux anticheat.

Luckily Valve seems to believe in freedom of decision for their users so they won’t do this. There are kernel level cheats so there are kernel level anticheats. Obviously anticheats are mostly lame in what they do so it would probably be better for them to not be kernel level. Still there are “pure malware” anticheats and Valve thinks it’s up to the user to decide if they want one, their job is to inform the user. And that’s the best approach here in my opinion.

What would the answer otherwise be? “fuck your save, start over”?

Isn’t it the usual answer? If there’s any at all.

Well Windows wasn’t an important Microsoft product for like 15 years now. It’s been like 7 years when Microsoft is a company mostly selling cloud Linux services. Ridiculous I know, but that’s from their yearly financial reports. It seems their plan is to cash out Windows as fast as possible before dropping it.

but I would be surprised if someone who wanted a new GPU couldn’t continue to get ahold of one in Russia, given enough funds.

From what I saw recently it’s actually cheaper there than in non-sanctioned nearby countries.

Can we count 10/0 as a big number? Or even just as a number.

0°F is a cold winter and 100°F is a hot summer

Makes sense for some specific location. But in general sense 0°F is not cold and 100°F is not hot.

It’s basically your encrypted file, you are to handle synchronisation yourself.

That’s a small step towards enshittification

Going away from opensource model that you built your business over is a pretty big step.

Imagine being so furious and pathetic to destroy the nose of a statue 3+ thousand years old.

It’s too small for a spaceship but it does have 40k spaceship vibes.
