Of course and undeniably, he did because we asked him.

Seriouly, though:
Thanks Joshua!

*edit* This could be good for native ~~ports~~ versions. Yes, I still hope for native.

I look forward to all the improvements KDE Plasma will get with the Steam Deck
11 Aug 2021 at 8:00 am UTC

Quoting: BielFPsI'm not a kde user, but I am a fan of some of their software like Krita and Kdenlive, so I'm happy that their efforts are being recognized and hope that those improves include their wayland compositor too.

The biggest success story of KDE though (if we like it or not) is KHTML, which as base of Chrome took over browser world domination.

Quoting: F.Ultra
Quoting: dos
Quoting: EikeAFAIK the main Linux developer at Valve doesn't like Debian's package format.
If that's true, then I don't think it's worth discussing any other reasons. This one is the only one that matters :P
Would be interesting to know the details on that however since it doesn't make any sense.

Still waiting for someone to jump in and show the source...

Quoting: nobody_importantIf that's the case, how come they didn't decide to use Debian Testing instead?

AFAIK the main Linux developer at Valve doesn't like Debian's package format. While I'm on Debian's side, I don't care too much which one they use.

Embracer Group swallows up even more developers and publishers
6 Aug 2021 at 6:51 am UTC

Quoting: elmapulhere on my country many people believed that covid was just an conpiration to break the economy and implement comunism or something like that...

I fear those exist in most countries. Of course, they're not conspiracy theorist, it's just a counter narrative (including a huge conspiracy). When I show them the death toll, they usually insult or ignore me. They're not able to put facts above their cemented world view. And at the same, they praise their open mind and critical thinking...

Quoting: LoftyThere's no effort required. Just choose a counter narrative and your given a special shiny hat and told to sit in the corner whilst all the big kids walk themselves off the edge of that existential cliff.

I've often heard this claim, but never actually seen anybody called conspiracy theorist that didn't actually tell, well, something that was a conspiracy theory in the end. I don't care if that was "effort" or "counter", it was nonsense (and it included many people doing secret stuff over them normal people).

Total War: WARHAMMER II - The Silence & The Fury out now for Linux
5 Aug 2021 at 12:05 pm UTC

Quoting: CatKillerIt's not Feral's decision, though. They need to persuade game developers to give Feral a cut of the income in exchange for making a handcrafted artisanal boutique Linux/Mac version out of their Windows-only game and providing full support, rather than the game developer relying on Proton (which doesn't cost them any money) and telling their Linux customers to go stick their head in a pig if there are any problems. The lower the Linux market share, or the better Proton is perceived to be, the harder that is.

To the best of my knowledge, Feral buys the right to port the code and sell the result. So, it's of course still the publisher's decision, but it doesn't sound too dangerous.

I love that Valve let some space in there!
Are their other useful gadgets to put in?

Quoting: The_Aquabatyep I was checking my weather forecast and tomorrow it will be 25C and it's winter :dizzy:
but last week we had below 0C temperatures... global warming sucks

Yes, well, for a little while a few weeks ago, here in British Columbia there were places with the third highest temperatures on Earth. That is not supposed to happen in Canada. One town beat its previous climate record by 4-5 degrees C for days on end, hitting mid-40s, and then spontaneously combusted and burned to the ground. Really, WTF?!

Canada has made it to German news (which doesn't happen too often) with both incidents.
