so, they show an video with a few details then the guy on stage repeat the same details... what is the point?


Quoting: buckysrevenge
Quoting: soulsourceSorry, but this presentation feels a lot like they took the German Manjaro guy, and forced him to present slides that were originally written in Chinese and translated to English via Google Translate. The horrible AI voice in the advertisement video at the beginning of the presentation doesn't help it either.

I love the Denglish though: "Millimeter-Quadrat".

I was wondering why they didn't include any of the speaker's speech in this one that came out earlier... https://youtu.be/fxgxD7hClBc

at least this one looks more like an ad, but the music is bad and the audio quality is also bad or its my headphone ?

the Queen of copyleft now is a guest character in an game that support linux natively, that is just perfect!

"Canonical maker of Ubuntu Linux have now decided to manually look over submissions."

Quoting: legluondunetSteam has a similar service with Geforce Now, but you do not have access to all your games, it depend on devs authorizations.
Soon we will no more need a gaming console, nor install or tweak them, to play games on Linux, we will just need a good internet connection. And we will no more need to buy expensive graphic card, with Geforce Now you can play on your TV in 4K/60fps/RayTracing if you have a good internet connection.
Before that, we need all these streaming services to stop screwing with Linux giving us a lower resolution.
wich make no sense, i can understand netflix giving us lower resolutions thinking it may be easier to break their DRM and as result this content leaking on pirate websites with max resolutions... (it leak anyway, at least make sense they try to prevent)

but gaming? the resolution dont mater for an interactive exp, pirating the imagen isnt the samething unless you are talking about cutscenes (maybe music as well).

Quoting: yndoendoThe only business I do with Amazon is take their money and never give them a penny. I will not fund billionaire Jeff Bezos and how his company treats their employees! Good example of economics where one sees value and another sees something completely worthless.
its becoming harder and harder to boycot those companies since they can do deal where we pay despite our consent.
(eg: you dont chose what games will enter an subscription service or not, in that case we didnt chose to give the money from or gog purchases to amazon in that deal... or maybe amazon paid then)

the kings of video game preservation teaming up with someone developing an tech that may kill video game preservation...

im not sure how i feel about that.

this might go 2 ways, either cloud gaming sucess can become dependent on an guarantee that we will have offline drm free ways to keep acessing our games...
or the new generation of gamers may grow used to not downloading their games, not even having an hardware capable of runing then and gog change their policies in the future to backstab us (maybe not for old purchases but for new ones) and people who are used to not own anything dont see the issue until its too late because we already have tons of cloud exclusive games that disapear by the time they realize that was a bad idea.

Quoting: CatKillerIt very much sounds like a scam to extract money from venture capitalists.
well at least it will be from venture capitalists lol

Well, sadly this money isn't their own but from the small people in search of a way to invest a little money to supplement their pension, whom they sell shitty financial products with big promises but no real return.
yeah you probably is right =\

Quoting: benstor214What's with the words popping up in the video? Am I supposed to karaoke along?
they tried to provide their own captions with some tech, i think (the tech) is open source, i remember that someone was developing an great tool for that, but the fact that they let one word at the time instead of one line or two make it harder to read, not to mention this tool dont know the word godot and write it differently each time this word appear.

they should soft sub it instead of hardsubing it.
