Ayaneo Next II seems to have two trackpads and Lenovo Legion Go 2 only one.

Agreed. The touchpads are one of the key points why the Deck is so great to me. I could live with only one, but it really requires at least one touchpad; ideally two.

I still think Valve need to release the SD2 soon before these manufacturers eat their dinner.

The other PC handhelds aren't really competitors in the classical sense. Valve can (unlike the consoles) wait and release the Steam Deck 2 whenever it is ready. No need to rush and make it bad. Remember, most people buying a PC handheld to play PC games will probably install Steam. And it does not make any difference for Valve if they purchased the game on Steam Deck or any other PC system, as the price cut is the same across hardware.

Sure, Valve wants to sell and control the PC handheld as much as possible. But bringing out any new device is not that urgent right now. Valve got already what they want; the Steam Deck is the default target by developers, when it comes to PC handheld.

Google began phasing out Manifest V2 last year and plans to end support for extensions built on it by mid-2025. That change has real consequences: Chrome users are already losing access to uBlock Origin, one of the most popular ad blockers, because it relies on a Manifest V2 feature called blockingWebRequest.

I'm actually a little bit surprised that Mozilla directly calling out Google by name and what they do, in an explicit manner.

The actual bug report you should link to: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6701

If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

I agree. There is not a high priority to have official support, as the unofficial support is good enough. I played Overwatch (and later OW2 a bit) for years on Linux. It felt like native to me. All I am really asking for is not to ban or block Linux users.

WINE runs them fine, so there’s a limited return for Blizzard to do a native port.

Officially supporting the Linux platform does not mean doing a native port. Look in example what Marvel Rivals does. They do support Linux, with official statements and with bug fixes related to Linux (they even specifically mentioned a specific bug fix for Bazzite in one of their recent patch notes). The game runs through Proton. Blizzard / Xbox could do the same here.

Microsoft itself has some conflict of interests, where they use Linux in servers and work actively on Linux itself. And at the same time Microsoft wants to bring the Xbox brand to as many platforms as possible, as it is no longer the Xbox console that counts. So there should be an interest to make the games officially supported on a Linux platform.

On the other side however, they also want Windows to succeed. And not supporting a minority platform means huge savings in time and money and less complication in management. I am curious how Xbox gaming brand will handle Linux in the future.

I think you misunderstand the point here. The upgrade in this case means a plus in version number, that's what is said here. I was not implying that older versions of Rust Editions get obsolete.

The best way to learn something is by hurting you.

You keep ignoring my questions. You think these answers and your post is valuable?? It contributes to spam and has no value.

So you don't even have a single example. Well I consider your post as useless and spam. Please stop posting useless and spam like this. Edit: Also you still don't answer a single question. Who is the judge? Who do I ask if my posts are okay to post? You?

Don't make this a personal attack. Do you have any article you consider to be shitty? As an example, so we are on the same page. Do you ever wrote them a message or did an issue, so they are aware of the issue and can correct the mistake? Do you think they read this post of you and stop posting, because you do not agree with what they consider to be useful?

Sorry but, you are not the person who decides who can post and who cannot. I have seen shitty articles that others find useful, and I saw good articles that others find shitty. Do you get what I mean?

That does not answer my question. Who is judging what is bad and shitty guides, and who has the necessary experience? I disagree with you. Let people write articles that YOU think are shitty. Beginners or professional grade knowledge, I am for the open web where noobs share their knowledge as well. Assuming they are written by a human, not talking about Ai.

Do you have any article as an example what you consider shitty and you do not allow to be posted on the free web?

The question is, who decides what shitty guide is. You? Let people write what they want, you don't have to use or read it. Also why not tell those you write shitty guides and tell them what is shitty, so they can improve. Instead trash talk on an unrelated forum??

That's the case with every software updates. Upgrading just means that you jumped to the newer version. Like upgrading to the newest Firefox won't give everyone the same benefit instantly, but its an upgrade in version nonetheless (as an analogy to Rust version).
