how about having a separate build of firefox without telemetry and ai slop

making illustrations with ai, instead of hiring artists, is the same as making games drm-free with cracks, instead of buying them from gog. hopefully gog will stop sloppifying itself, because it is one of few digital game stores that actually has its mission, purpose and reasons to exist.

They say this new model for how Ubisoft works will be centred on "Open World Adventures and *GaaS-native experiences

Ah yes the new model, totally not the one that they followed since 2014.

that's why i try to avoid every game-as-service, because committing to it is a waste of time once all of it is gone with a click of publisher's killswitch.

To force tech giants contribute back to open source, the open source projects should force GPLv2 licence. And have actual auditing entity to ensure compliance. EU can enforce that. MIT licence and similar ones won't work, they don't require even crediting authors and contributors. That's why I don't like those "permissive" licences. We don't need another intel management engine, also known as Minix.

hopefully steam will force user-accessible games versioning on all games, because I don't want to download depots via steam console each time fallout 4 or skyrim updates.

Quoting: GoEsr

Quoting: RouhollahWe already have dlss override on linux. Take a look at the dxvk nvapi wiki on github.

Those still seem to just be the original DLSS flags, not the newer ones added in DLSS Override like switching between CNN and transformer models. I'm not seeing anything to change that.

to switch to transformer model, use the k preset...

i can't agree with arc raiders victory in the innovations category, because there were zero innovations in the game. to be honest i doubt there can be significant innovations in video games in general. in the last 30-40 years almost every possible idea has been already tried. not every possible combination of ideas, but combining existing ideas is not innovation. everything else looks okay, at least people voted for it.

Quoting: ShmerlI think it's good — looks like they made GOG private so they can pursue their own vision and not be pressured by shareholders of CDPR.

I.e. may be they can spend on Linux now more, while before shareholders could tell them not to prioritize Linux support. Just my guess. In the end, it's really up to what they want.

yeah, looking at valve and other game companies, private company is a better model for company-customer relationships. it allows for following long term strategies without being pressed by shareholders.

steam on linux will be 64 bit at some point. nice to have, but not so urgent for now, except for distros that dropped 32 bit packages.
