I’m sorry to hear about your mother, friend.

OnlyFans has tried to position itself as one of Britain’s greatest tech success stories, preferring to be seen as a social media platform than as an adult business.

Hahahahahahhahahahahhaha

In the beginning, God K&R created the dinosaurs time_t.

you mean giving away billions of dollars of computer with no monetisation strategy was bad? man who would have thought. not sam, apparently. if only there were like, some way to have realised that the goal of business is to earn money

I agree. They’re getting attacked on three fronts - Linux for the gaming user base and now macOS for the student, education and casual user base; and all the while, the professionals and creatives get tempted by Apple hardware increasingly running faster, cooler and more energy efficient than anything in the Intel/AMD world. It’s Microsoft’s game to lose and boy they sure seem to want to lose it.

I would never have believed it a few years back, but a world where Linux and Mac collectively have a higher market share than Windows could actually be possible. It’s the perfect storm of M-series chips kicking ass, Valve investing so much in Linux, and Microsoft giving the finger to their customers.

Whoa there sonny! Lots of stuff sharing just one computer? Sounds like communism to me!

Jim Carrey’s got you covered. https://youtu.be/_yRJOX1fppQ

I blew away my Windows install in favour of Fedora about a year ago. There are only two games in my entire library that don’t work - Call of Duty and Battlefield, both of them because of anti-cheat fuckery. The other 300+ that I’ve tried playing have just worked. Zero tinkering required.

Times have really changed. The life hack you should know is to use ProtonPlus to install Proton-GE which is a customised version that has a bunch of fixes for different games. You just set Steam to use this one over Valve’s default version for all games and you’re pretty much done. They’ve integrated tweaks and fixes for thousands of games, on a per-game basis, so if you’re using this build of Proton then you have nothing else to do. No fiddling, no command line monkeying, just launch and play, same as Windows.

It’s honestly very impressive these days.

We have a winner

Indeed, article makes it sound like both brands are putting their TV business into a new joint venture. Hardly the same as exiting the market.

Man, this comment made me feel old :)

So much fun anti-nostalgia for trying to game on Debian fifteen years ago. This game doesn’t really run in WINE, but if you feed the Konami code into launch arguments then you might get working except upside down and in black and white. Oh, you wanted sound with that? Let me introduce you to my main man, ALSA. He’s a dick.

The kids of today will never know the pain. Proton is a game changer.

Care to share?

Are you French or Italian perhaps? In this context, if you meant attendre / attendere, the word in English is expect. 😊

Weird how every show / movie shows up in a full 4K rip on usenet the next day still. It’s almost like DRM doesn’t stop piracy.

As an Apple shareholder, I’d just like to thank Microsoft for their outstanding contribution to selling more Macs.

But most users never need to open it because Apple at least tests their OS before yeeting it into prod, unlike this hot mess.

Windows is becoming so trash that a bunch of my not-that-tech-savvy friends have been hitting me up asking about gaming on various Linux distros. (Just a few years ago it was all “Linux? Haha nerd”.) And the non gamers are switching to Mac at a remarkable rate.

And things have progressed so well that even for the non-technical crew, after installing Mint and showing them how to use ProtonPlus to install and select Proton-GE, they’re pretty much off to the races without much further hand holding.

Seconding Kagi, it’s worth every penny.

Yes, on the one hand, this is a chilling precedent that can only lead to long term despair and national ruination. But on the other hand, line go up next quarter. I think we all know which one Tim Apple will choose.
