Microsoft wins against FTC to buy Activision Blizzard

Quoting: MisterPaytwickWait, SuSE is actually picking to have competition over stagnation ? That's nice. Looking a bit harder at it, I guess it's wait and see again, sounds pretty opportunistic.
Yeah; I mean, SuSE the business couldn't act any other way; but what's puzzling is what they're promising -- a 'hard fork' of RHEL that 'plays nice' with clones makes sense if it's meant to receive the care & attention RHEL itself receives. But SuSE isn't making that big of a commitment; & although the news articles stress the $10M they say they're investing into this, that amount is about half of what Rocky started with in the first place. & SuSE already has its own enterprise OS. It's pretty weird. Maybe they want Rocky & Alma to become SLE clones?

.... ok sorry about the weird tangent.
More on topic: fsck Microsoft!

Quoting: ShabbyXYeap, they _have_ done much for computing, mostly in the form of ruining it.
This can't be stressed hard enough.

No need to program any sort of tactical AI for the enemies, I guess. They just run towards you.

Quoting: EikeCan we give the award for the most stupid abbreviation in open source of at least the century to this new "GPL"?
Yeah, I wonder if this GPL will improve the DRM subsystem of the kernel.
I mean, GPL'ed DRM; what a time to be alive I guess.

Street Fighter first came out in 1987.

Roblox intentionally blocking Linux with Wine in their new update

Quoting: ArdjeTo be clear: I was at a crossroads 25 years ago: Let windows NT into my life or not. I gave it a fair chance, even at the highest of the FUD wars.
Today the only real purpose in my life is to get rid of windows systems in favor of more service, happiness and less costs for the clients.
As a non-pro who has recently felt the pain of trying to compile a couple of lua packages on windows, I wholeheartedly agree.

(Oh, and WSL2 is a scam; & useless in general.)

Valve improving Mesa graphics drivers on Linux for a "secret" game (update: Jedi Survivor)

Quoting: elmapulgta6 ?
-- entirely off-topic, but given the current state of Take Two, I have absolutely no expectations for GTA 6.

Perhaps finally Half-Life 3 (yeah likely not but I can dream).
HL3 couldn't be anything but disappointing. In The Valley Of Gods is what I'm dreaming of. Of course that probably wouldn't need aggressive driver performance optimisations.
The timeframe for its release *does* fall in line with Valve's notion of 'soon':
