yeah it's goofy, you can embed grub in coreboot cbfs and load straight into it, skipping the bios/uefi stage. it's a bit difficult to set up (and you need coreboot supported hardware) but when you get it working the boot times become really quick
i just realised though that you can embed Linux into cbfs as well, does that then mean that Linux could be my kernel and firmware at the same time?
yeah .world has some weird vibes, I don't think it's exactly centrist but I don't like how the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
I don't like many of the communities on these instances either but I don't think that .world users should be the ones to hold the power and cry to the wider fediverse when we don't do exactly what they do
All the kernel access in the world won't stop someone from having a secondary device hooked into the monitor output and faking a dumb keyboard and mouse.
I guess that's true, but that'd be a lot difficult to program and expensive to use compared to a simple program that can read data straight from the game's memory in machine readable format and send inputs straight into the system's input framework. by raising the entry bar you're effectively decreasing the amount of people that will cheat in the game
it's ultimately the user's decision if they want to sacrifice the purity of their kernel for a game like this, and I think it's their problem if their kernel panics for them wanting to play slop made by AAA studios
as much as I love not running windows on my machines, this is 100% pure copium
also this post sounds really petty and it's really sad if this is what the broader Linux gaming community really thinks, can they seriously not just ignore AAA games given how shit they are?
how do you actually tell in server side if a client is e.g. actually good at a game vs playing recorded moves with a bit of randomisation when you don't have access to into on what's actually happening on the client device?
as much as I love Linux this sounds like purposeful partial blindness from hopium/copium
you can still use rss, i have a feed going on my phone and it's good
