Gelsinger has an impressive resume from when he was an engineer but he seems like a poor CEO. They can't even make expensive desktop CPUs that don't crap themselves anymore.

All that talk about going back to being a fab but now they're saying they'll go even more to TSMC for their own chips. Someone offering me to make chips doesn't instill confidence when they can't even make chips for themselves.

How about they figure out how to design great chips and how to make them once again. Then just packaga that into a sensible product and you're good to go. But I guess that would make too much sense for the big businessmen that would rather let everything fall to the deep end.

"AI+" in the name makes it sound like a garbage toy.

Loved GoW 2018, was waiting for Ragnarok but maybe I'll just watch a playthrough on Youtube or see if my boat is still sea worthy.

Well, I think why people get angry is because most mods aren't done for profit but out of love for the characters and stories, and just to have fun. Same for users of mods, they like the characters and want to have fun but then when Nintendo or whoever comes in and says "you'll enjoy Mario when I'll allow you to" it sounds like a big "F you" to the fans.

I don't know who Garry Newman is but he sounds like the typical sociopath executive - everything's a product, everyone's replaceable, it's just business, it's allowed by law therefore it's right. Just because a law allows something doesn't mean it's right, plus those kinds of people usually only use laws when it suits them.

I would've had no problems if they said from the start that instead of native versions they will make sure or at least try to make the game work with Proton but as it is they basically lied to get more money. "Hey Linux and Mac gamers! We didn't forget you but need a little funding to bring the game to you", *gets well above the goal*, "lol no, we ain't doing it". Nightdives trustworthiness just dived for me like for a lot of big publishers/devs.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicAre they just opposed to the concept of 'good things in gaming'?

Unless it's the concept of rising revenue/profits/stock-prices, they don't care.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, I've never really used flatpaks, except maybe one or two that were actually in my distro's repository. So I'm wondering--If you install stuff from Flathub, how do you keep it up to date? Is there some mechanism or do you just have to sort of remember that you ought to, application by application? Do you update, or do you just reinstall a newer version?

I believe GNOME and KDE GUI software managers also manage Flatpaks so nothing specific there if you use those.

If you update from the terminal you can make a simple script to update Flatpaks along with the regular distro updates.

I have this in my ~/bin/pc-update.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Colors
green="\e[;92m"
reset="\e[0m"


echo -e "\n${green}*** Firmware update ***${reset}\n"
sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr update

echo -e "\n${green}*** Flatpak update (system)***${reset}\n"
sudo flatpak update -y

echo -e "\n${green}*** Flatpak remove unused (system)***${reset}\n"
sudo flatpak uninstall --unused

#echo -e "\n${green}*** Flatpak update (user)***${reset}\n"
#flatpak update -y
#
#echo -e "\n${green}*** Flatpak remove unused (user)***${reset}\n"
#flatpak uninstall --unused

echo -e "\n${green}*** System update ***${reset}\n"
sudo zypper dist-upgrade --auto-agree-with-licenses --no-recommends

Doesn't really change anything, publishers have already been doing this for a long time.

I just don't get why would anyone pay to beta test a game. It's like going to work but instead of getting paid you pay to work.

Quoting: legluondunetWhat about Fedora? I would be interested in your feedback.

Haven't used Fedora in a while but it should be good also. It's what I would call semi-rolling - some packages like the kernel get updated for the same OS version and the OS releases don't take that long (I think every 6 months there's a new Fedora version).

Quoting: sudoerLOL @PR bs...
-buy companies, merge into one = benefit
-split companies into many = benefit

"with Embracer you always benefit!"

everything done just with the intent of how to artificially boost/play around shareholders investment.

"offer more differentiated and distinct equity stories for existing and new shareholders" this was delightful to read. It's amazing how many new phrases corporate marketing can invent and yet be so devoid of meaning.

What even is an equity story? A shareholders wet dream where they spent $5, sucked everything out of developers and existing IP, and made millions?
