I had a funny+weird idea where lawyers and lawyer students teach each other in order to file mass class action lawsuits

• the benefit to this is that ordinary people could basically choose which ones to hop on/bandwagon
• the potential con would be that this might draw a big target on whoever decides to do this

Quake 2 has been GPL and had Linux versions since forever, even official ones from id.

never knew till today and also that's pretty cool!

if Quake II is under GPL-2.0...
doesn't it mean that Quake II has a good to high potential to be supported on Linux?

ahh makes sense

Still pretty cool.

100% agreed

damn a new Bionicle product

I thought it would never happen in my lifetime

good old Userbenchmark - the April Fools that never ends

The native steam package in most repos seems more than functional(esp with using proton when necessary)
(Archlinux, EndeavourOS, Pop!_OS are ones I've tried with success with a GTX 1080(fuck nvidia))

just tried to use the flatpak version of steam and it seems to have issues with linking external libraries(disks/partitions) and flatpak steam won't let you install any Windows games(as of Aug 8, 2023)

This is actually incredible lol
I love it

For me I:

👍 anything positive-sum

• could be anything from useful tips to strangers encouraging/complimenting each other

👎 anything zero-sum

• racism, sexism, anything that incites hate/violence or is joyful for oneself at the cost of others

and neither for anything that is ambiguously between P-S/Z-S, or requires further knowledge/skill/context in order to correctly parse

• like any topics that requires advanced physics I abstain because I wouldn't know left from right so it wouldn't make sense for me to upvote or downvote

EF Linux (Ermanno)

doesn't provide a benefit for me for the tradeoffs in smaller battery size, screen size, lower water resistence, lower durability, no open source documentation/parts to enable comsumer repairability

This is such a genius move

no worries👍

it'd be dope if Gamers Nexus could review it

Current me might think "I'm a genius!" when making this comment.

Future me might think "holy fuck why and how was I so cringey at that point in my life😬"

The conclusion of the study was basically that the biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.

Not sure if that would work as users are fleeing from those big players as they don't prioritize the safety and needs of their users.

The contradictory problem is that current major corporations prioritize money at all costs even at the expense of their users so their customer base flee to the next best service/product provider.

People are currently abandoning Reddit and Twitter because their moderation system either doesn't work or has underlying contradictions to what users are asking for.

Facebook launched Threads and people only joined initially due to FOMO. With how transparent they are in harvesting user data at the expense of people's privacy I think (and hope) that people are starting to realize that this is probably not in their best interests.

I think what we're seeing is evolutionary filtration of the web similar to natural ecosystems where the species with the highest ability to adapt that survives.

Based off of one metric it seems that companies structured around proprietary software (zero-sum systems) are unsustainable. This is my untested observation however so this could be true currently but systemically wrong once examined and tested.

So the idea that

biggest players should enter the fediverse in order to use their capabilities to scan and police it.

doesn't seem to make the most logical sense as the foundation for those companies is untrustworthy and unsustainable.

Maybe you misheard LXQT?
