Ubuntu Desktop 23.10 now available again after the recent hostile translation

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm genuinely surprised and disappointed anyone could find what they did in any way entertaining.
I generally find people having absurd meltdown-style rants funny, independent of the exact nature or direction of their ranting.
Sue me. Or don't. I don't care in the slightest what you personally think of me. I'm not here to seek your approval, admin or not.

Quoting: Linux_RocksIt's not even remotely someone trying to be comedic. So there's nothing funny about it.
1. Wrong. It is actively trying to be funny, hence all the rather edgelordy "jokes".
2. You don't have to actively try to be funny in order to have the result be funny to other people.
3. You don't get to decide what is or isn't funny to other people about... anything, really.

I looked over all of it, and it was not some silly edgelord stuff. It was just downright disgusting.
Well, let's just say not all of us are easily disgusted and have a bit thicker skin.
Honestly, I was quite entertained by the sheer insanity of it.

It reminded me of that Domina developer meltdown in the patch notes, except in Ukrainian (or at least Google thinks so).

At first I assumed they were playing the typical 'milquetoast opinion is "hatespeech"' game, as corporations afraid of X-Storms tend to do.

But I had a look at what was there and... uhh... yeah, even I would have removed that :grin:
A mix of slavic memes (I assume) and relentless insult rants.
Hilariously edgelordy, but not really something you want in official products.

Welcome to opposite land where Microsoft has a Linux install tutorial

It's not super surprising.

Microsoft is not making most of their money with Windows anymore.
It is making most of their money with their cloud services, which are mostly Linux-based.

Still good to see, of course.
But this is not about openness or anything, it's just about investing into what is good for you (in the business sense).

Unity CEO John Riccitiello is leaving 'effective immediately'

You could basically let AI write the entire play at this point.

From soulless corporate leaving blabla to soulless corporate replacement blabla and generic corporate statement as glue between those events.
Nobody would notice if any of those things were or were not written by a human being, as everything is just meaningless platitudes anyway.

Valve fix up more SteamVR 2.0 Beta issues

Fix new VR gamepad UI rendering with a flipped Y-axis.
Too bad, I kinda got used to it the last few days :grin:

SteamVR 2.0 Beta released with a big UI overhaul
30 Sep 2023 at 5:06 pm UTC

Yup, same.

The Steam menus (what appears when you press the menu/system button on the Index controllers) are upside down :grin::grin::grin:
Games themselves as well as desktop control are normal. And the colors are normal for me, too.

Yup, typical Linux VR experience.
Oh, Valve.

If anyone wants to add their thumbs and data to the issue:

Epic Games sheds 830 people due to 'spending way more money than we earn'

I wouldn't even mind Epics exclusivity stuff if EGS itself wasn't so bad.

We were rightfully joking about how slow Valve is to develop stuff, but oh my, does EGS up the ante on slowness...

The fine is hilariously low.
