But the interim CEO led the redundancies. The common factor in all of this is the board. The CEO just does what the board are pushing for and sign off on. Ricky is bad and not a good man by any stretch of the imagination, but he was less bad 2/4/6 years ago for a bit. He's just the hatchet (yes) man doing the business of the big shareholders.

The next CEO will likely be following the same play book. Without a change of board, it's still an evil company. Ricky was just the fall guy that they bin off so naive folk buy into the fact it's "all fixed, and back to old Unity".

The great advise right now, is stay away from Unity. You have Godot, Armory3d, and hell, even Epic run Unreal Engine is better.

You can always start sooner and dual boot on Linux Mint to get familiar test your usecases. I have been dual booting and haven't logged into Windows in over 6 months. Gaming is pretty good for many games on Linux.

I tried a long time ago on Mandrake or Mandriva, cannot remember. Didn't stick and eventually after trying to use Windows 10 on a HDD, Linux Mint welcomed me with open arms. Now duel booting on OpenSuse but haven't started Windows in 6 months. I just don't need it anymore. Thanks to the Wine and proton teams!

2.6.9754?

Google has been dreadful for a long time and do not care. They only need creators so they can milk the content and take the lion share of the revenue.

YouTube are pushing more and more adverts so people are more likely to pay them. Straight up manipulation.

I wouldn't pay for Youtube...

Where did the devs do that, or are you generalising?

Who's making excuses?

Do you want to give an example of where the developers banned or censored something? It sounds like you're generalising.

I see you're also posting from lemmy.world, despite the fact they defederated from Hexbear before it even federated. To be critical of censorship while using that instance is ironic. Either you stand against censorship, or you're just using it as an excuse to bash something you dislike. lemm.ee is far from tankie, but approached it in a manner more conducive to what you believe...

Or MineClone2 on Minetest if you like the digging aspect.

Welcome, and keep up the good work. Good to see you here.

Even if you don't like communists. Politics plays a big part in open source for many, and giving power to people and away from corporations. While we were all happy and content on reddit, those guys were grinding away to build something for people. It did not appear over night. To some extent it is what drives and motivates people. I understand you are not communist and don't agree with the philosophy, but it's worth at least respecting that it plays a part in how people operate and is a reason why they self-sacrifice the way they do.

I'm personally a socialist and don't agree with tankies support of certain countries administrations (past and present), but share a similar view of the world in wanting power in the hands of people, not corporations. I think we need to go further to respect other people's views, even if we do not agree with them. Shitting all over them (and the platform) based on their views while supporting the thing they build does feel somewhat disrespectful. It's the same as religion in some ways. You can fundamentally disagree with a religion while conducting yourself in a respectful manner when around those that differ from your views.

Imagine saying "I didn't want to use x because of the creators

<insert religious view>

I think we need to get to a world where we can be respectful of people having different views even if we do not agree with them and would be quite happy to deconstruct it in debate.

I did not know that. He really is a manchild.

Damm. What colour is girl pee then?

Maybe, but I don't think Musk is running twitter for money. He's probably doing what every billionaire is doing. Buying media to shape public opinion. Turning twitter right leaning to build public support for conservative policies that will benefit his other business is probably the play.

Why worry losing 20bn when he could gain 50bn for SpaceX(SeX. Just seen that...) and Tesla? Sounds like a good return on investment.

A community for this works. For example !community_requests@lemmy.ml I think. Just needs someone to request and someone with access to respond. For that, it doesn't need to be built in. Long term, it's probably a handy feature though.

That sounds like a great education setup. Hope we mirror that in the west.

It doesn't and other software should and will fulfil those purposes. It has for many users and with a few years, will have for most. How do you think some distros run only on Wayland? What are they missing?

It was actually created because of design issues in x11 that prevented certain solutions to modern problems. I think there was also certain security concerns. I did read a blog about this previously.

No one spends their free time writing software for years out of frustration only. I gather you don't make open source software...

Do you have evidence it is unmaintained?

Last commit years ago?

Over complex software that does everything is potentially stupid. The fact x11 devs went to build Wayland. Its funny how those that build x11 can be critical of the software they build but users cannot. When software becomes a religion.

They don't need to think about display servers. Just update and it will resolve itself. You're overcomplicating things and scaring people away from Linux.

Very good point. Mr x11 expert maybe seems pissed he's gotta learn a new tech and refuses to, so will bash it and hope it goes away. But if they were an expert, they'd probably know the things you mentioned.
