Some games in steam can't be bought from steam store, you can have them only by purchasing a key.
Many games are sold cheaper outside of steam, without sales or anything.
I don't get this complaint. As user, i can and i buy games cheaper outside of steam store.

Quoting: CatKillerYou'd better remove Mozilla from this list. Mozilla killed any possibility of having 100% free (as in freedom) browser.Quoting: scaineBut instead, he's just back and that's it? Okay then. As I say, FSF can get in the bin alongside him. Some will support this move - fine. I just don't. It hurts free software, it drives women away in particular and I don't want to be associated with any of it.There's a reason the labs at MIT are full of plants.
The FSF have rendered themselves completely irrelevant by their continued association with rms. The Free Software movement will continue to be championed by, say,

US Supreme Court sides with Google against Oracle about copying APIs being 'fair use'
6 Apr 2021 at 10:11 am UTC
Reminder, that Android doesn't use Java SE, Google only implemented some parts of Java SE: "Android Java Language" is a Frankenstein made by parts of Java 6 and Java 7; "Android Java Standard Library" doesn't implement many parts of Java SE. For example, NIO is part of Java SE 7, but "Android Java" doesn't implement it; lambdas are not implemented properly, there is 3rd party compiler plugin that "de-sugars" them, but it doesn't cover all use cases.
Many libraries ended up with 2 versions - version for Java and version for Android.
Android destroyed Java for mobile and affects java for desktop. It only harms.

Quoting: ArdjeThis outcome is good for everyone, even for Oracle. Now it's obvious that it's not dangerous to use java interfaces anywhere and hence to use java anywhere.It never was dangerous to use them or re-implement. There are several implementations of Java: OpenJ9, Azul, OpenJDK (RI), Excelsior JET

NVIDIA have a new Vulkan Beta Driver out for Linux - helping DOOM Eternal on Steam Play

Quoting: Alm888Windows driver works bit different in some aspects, game relies on windows behavior. It's likely unintended id fault.Added a workaround for Linux Steam Play title DOOM Eternal, which overrides application requested memory locations…Wait, WHAT?!
In other words, "DOOM Eternal" has instructions to specifically place resources in system RAM instead of VRAM if ran on Linux? I mean, Windows® users do not encounter the "resources are in RAM" issue, that mean developers deliberately wrote the application to misbehave on Linux. That's a sabotage!

Can we have latest windows vs latest gnu/linux overwatch benchmarks?

If they don't release gnu/linux version of game, there is actually zero profit for gnu/linux gaming.
Why should regular gnu/linux gamer care about what google made and whom pays to get games working on *their* machines? It's not my computer, it's google's.
