Quoting: elmapulholycrap! that is impressive! that just proves that apple could do if they wanted but chose not.
Oh, that's because Apple is all about proprietary APIs, cables, etc. I'm honestly surprised most docks that are TB4 will work on a mac at this point... Kind of shocked you can use generic mice with it as well. Though of course you need either a USB-C or a dock to actually use generic mice...
yeah i know its intentional im just saying that fanboys have no excuse to deffend now.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 adding EA AntiCheat, breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux
15 Feb 2024 at 1:39 pm UTC

i played plants vs zombies 1 and loved it, then they destroyed plants vs zombies 2 with dlc or something like that.
then they made this spin off that... i havent played but dont seems like an good game, i mean, i liked plants vs zombies for the gameplay not the characters, so i dont see the point of playing with then in an completely different game, especially if that means they wont ever make an "plants vs zombies 3" but an sequel for the spin offs...
and as if that wasnt bad enough now they break the steamdeck compat with this...

Linux remains above macOS on the Steam Survey for January 2024

Quoting: EikeThe linear approximation to the curve really needs to be split into two parts! (somewhere in 2021?)

... or the software could come up with something non-linear?
Why?
Because the linear approximation systematically overestimates all of the oldest points and underestimates all of the youngest points (except a single one we would attribute to some measurement error, probably located in the far east). The line doesn't fit, and this not in a "jumpy" way (as to be to be expected), but in a systematical way. The curve to be approximated isn't linear, at least not over the whole time.

So we could either try two linear curves, or some curve with a slope (slightly) increasing over time.
i think we can try to predict the next few months with a few different approachs, then keep the one who was better able to predict the trends

Quoting: damarrin. After all, as we Linux users all know, hunting the web for programs and downloading installers is the silliest thing ever.
no, its not.
it prevent OS vendor from abusing their customers with an monopoly using an biased store.
like promoting first party browsers (Chrome, edge, safari) instead of the best ones.

not to mention the repositories of the linux distros are serious lacking softwares that often exist for linux.
for example, look how many years took then to have something like godot, you can develop entire games in this meantime.
