Godot is the closest alternative to Unity.

Unreal is kind of a different beast on a different market, more complex and more geared towards big 3D games with high-end graphics.

You don't have to use electricity to make hydrogen! You can make it from methane! But yeah, it's probably even worse than a diesel engine when it comes to CO2 emissions...

I imagine that the fact that you call cars with an app instead of waiting for an empty taxi to pass by is more efficient, and you can have less cars for the same number of passengers. Basically having less empty taxis on the road.

I know it's a stretch, but this is the only way I can see Uber reducing traffic.

As a Steam Deck user I really like flatpak, because it allows me to install third party apps while my system remains exactly the same as every other Steam Deck on the same version.

That means just like other "consumer" devices and unlike most PCs, updates are simple and risk free. There is no risk of having an update break because I installed some app that broke system level stuff.

Maglev is expensive both to build (because you need magnetized rails) and to operate (uses more energy overall than a shinkansen).

There is a reason why Japan built a prototype decades ago but never built a commercial line.

There are a lot of options to get a laptop with Linux preinstalled, guarantee that drivers will work, and support.

I don't see the point of buying a Windows laptop when Linux laptops exist.

The point is not that it's better, it's that enough people decide to pay for Photoshop despite Gimp existing.

So Photoshop is providing value for some people and they believe it's worth paying to get it over Gimp.

They sure do, doesn't mean their shitty practices shouldn't be exposed so their users reconsider whether they want to use it or not.

Or you can buy a phone that doesn't require this bullshit to change the battery

Yeah, sometimes it's weird - for example when a king gives you a sword that has been in his family for generations, you go to the merchant and it's not worth more than something you looted on a bandit.

Seen that in Witcher 3.

I wasn't creeped out by character faces from my Amstrad either.

When you get to the level of realism of Starfield you have to pay attention to the details. If you can't, just pick a different graphical style.

I don't know about "most" users but I've been using it for about 25 years and it's perfectly usable for me and my family.

Keep using Windows if that's what you like, but be aware that many non programmers use Linux and don't need to go to the command line to install software.

Yeah, considering it's built like a DLC to BOTW it makes sense to stop here.

It still sounds like a solution looking for a problem

Also you're limited in weight but holding 5 heavy armors and 7 two handed swords in fine.

Picking up that silver spoon can tip you over the limit however.

It's still less than 5%, so unfortunately it's still at a level they can ignore.

We need more gaming devices that ship with Linux out of the box, like the Steam Deck. Market share is not going to go up only with PC gamers choosing Linux over Windows.

In the days of zero days patches and DRM requiring a check to the servers, a disc doesn't guarantee that at all.

If anything, disc just became dongles to prove ownership and download the full game.

Who cares what it was like on day 1 if he buys it today?

Ubuntu is making many mistakes recently, but this is a pretty good idea. Just install whatever software you need.

Oh yes, I remember the paper test in California and it was really stupid. Things like "what should you do in foggy weather?" And the correct answer was "stay at home and don't drive".

Their whole booklet was a joke, instead of clear rules it was a mix up of actual rules, advice and trivia with no meaningful organization.
