Quoting: hell0

Quoting: GeamanduraThe name is just so idiotic. Imagine if Blender was called Open 3D Editor. Or Audacity was called Open Audio Player. No imagination, no energy to live, this comes straight from the desk of Toby from The Office. [...]

Counterpoint: I use openstack, every component has its own cool name unrelated to whatever it does: neutron, nova, cinder, glance, octavia, heat, magnum, designate, gnocchi, horizon and so on. Heck, even versions have names instead of numbers. Know what? It's effing annoying and serves no purpose whatsoever aside from confusing newcomers and making my life miserable.

Absolutely on the same page of being overwhelmed by versions having non-number designations. In today's expansive landscape of software components, it takes some oversized ego and self importance to ask of your ecosystem to put the effort to memorize codenames that are then officially used as part of repo paths etc. -- looking at Ubuntu and their code names for example. Leave the animals and adjectives for your megafans who feel entertained by that, not by regular folk who have to open Wikipedia to consult the correspondence between codenames and numerical versioning every single irritating god dang time they have to interact with your software.

The name is just so idiotic. Imagine if Blender was called Open 3D Editor. Or Audacity was called Open Audio Player. No imagination, no energy to live, this comes straight from the desk of Toby from The Office. Even Vulkan which is meant for low level ubergeeks has a cool name, although it could have been called Open Multiplatform Graphics API, but they chose a name to excite people and make them interested in it and want to work with/for them. This Open 3D Engine is meant to attract corporate lawyers and handshakes and press releases like flies at the public toilet.

Great! Is it able to count play time on GOG though?

Representing all the noobs out there, and taking one for the team.

Could anyone kindly explain the difference between this, and DosBox? As long as I can run Transport tycoon and Sim city 2K and Mortal kombat in DosBox, what can I use this tool for?

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: scaineHuh, I'm getting "Confirm your age to watch this video". Almost as if Google don't know that I'm a 50 year old man who's been using their products, including Google Pay, for decades. Despite being signed in to multiple Google products when I visit Youtube, where I'm also signed in. Jesus christ.

Priorities, priorities. They have to concentrate on important things, like knowing if you've recently bought a pair of slippers so they can try to get you to buy a bunch more, even though obviously you don't need them now since you already have a pair.

You clearly don't understand how marketing works and this is why you will never be anything more than just a consumer of slippers, and not an actual big bux marketing specialist over at Google/YouTube.

Pentium, lol, at 450 euros I'd rather get a Ryzen 4xxx laptop.
