Congrats to the devs. Biome is awesome, and it’s been a pleasure to use it

It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about

A lot of really bizarre choices there.

With MauiKit essentially depending on KDE frameworks, abandoning Plasma 6 is a nail in the coffin.

I was never a huge fan of the NX design philosophy, because it felt quite disjointed, and not very well suited for neither mobile screens, nor larger ones, with how tiny yet spaced between everything is, but at the same time, variety is a good thing for people who did like it.

That being said, without first-party MauiKit support, Nitrux has no real benefits to offer, so it’s unclear what their plan is going forward

People will inevitably die as a result of this change. Call your representatives

Bloodthief ended up being exactly as fun as I’ve expected

At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense

Probably not. Steam for macOS still has no SteamPlay support, so your best bet is installing the regular Steam through a separate Heroic prefix. Works great, but it does still require Rosetta.

That said, Box64 and FEX are both making a lot of progress, so it’d be awesome to see these in action officially soon

If this were an optional “skin” of sorts, it would have been completely fine with me. But this is a forced redesign, and a really bad one at that. There will likely be changes before the GM release comes out, but overall I just don’t like the design direction, nor the performance implications

Was this not already common sense?

Still has an LCD panel, and still has regular sticks. I guess saving 0.10$ per unit adds up

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that they should just say okay, installing instagram from a Limewire download is the intended path now.

Using AUR or Nixpkgs to install your stuff is perfectly acceptable to me, for these exact reasons. You have a choice, you’re choosing your preference, and at the end of the day you get a vetted source from a trusted repository.

Choice is what matters to people, and it’s being taken away from them. But even beyond that, if i wanted to install an “unsupported/untrusted” app on my device, that should fully be my choice

I still hate the term “sideloading”, when used in this context. You don’t “sideload” anything on your computer. You just install things, from wherever you damn desire.

They only started using the term here, to gaslight people into thinking that installing mobile apps from sources, other than the ones that give Apple money, is somehow insecure

One time I’ve lost around 200gb of data, by accidentally removing a folder, instead of its symlink. Didn’t have backups either, but it wasn’t anything I couldn’t get again

I use Nix on my M1 Pro machine, and it’s by far my favorite laptop yet. The company and their business practices absolutely do suck though.

That said, there is certainly a middle ground for software there. I hate windows as much as the next guy, but macOS is at least Unix-adjacent, so it’s not a complete pain

I understand that the overwhelming majority of people will still continue streaming at 16:9, or the vertical equivalent. It’s not just about ownership of ultrawide displays. It’s about support for such output format, for people who do want it. But even going by your own example, a ton of phones are 19.5:9, with some models straight up being 21:9

We’re getting vertical streams before 21:9 aspect ratio support. Come on

And we’ll just watch them either get slapped by an insignificant fine, or watch them weasel their way out of this again, by claiming they made you agree to some perpetual abandonment of rights, like they always do

Why is it never the other way around? I’m sick of EULA updates silently enrolling me into things i never asked for

That’s just the reality of half of these companies. Inflated revenue reports, no actual work done, and at best they are just a shit chatGPT wrapper

Some people continue to gaslight themselves into thinking there is something to be gained from the audience they once had
