Hope it can stay that way

You’ve essentially described exactly what the issue is. All these companies want you to continue subscribing, so you owning anything isn’t in their interest

You’re misunderstanding. I’m not talking about drive space, i’m talking about the space the physical disk cases take up

As much as I hate that this is happening, I think once you turn to digital media, it’s incredibly difficult to go back. The convenience of having your stuff at a click of a button is just too good.

That said, if you’re into movies specifically, i’d personally still go the route of buying a disk, and ripping it to your local storage, but that’s both expensive, and inconvenient in terms of space

If yield rates aren’t a good metric, what does he think is then? It’s certainly not layoff numbers, or C-suite compensation.

If after all that investment you’re only able to produce TEN PERCENT of the product successfully, that’s a failure, by definition. Even if they quintuple the yields, that’s still incredibly poor

Welcome to 2024. Either you play, or get played. Being genuine and honest is becoming harder by the day

It’s already too late. Those who wanted to weaponize it have already done so

That’s current Verge for you. It only got worse since then

Ironically, it’s news that’s free, and garbage is behind the paywall. Verge is not what people remember it being from years ago

My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.

There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug

The real election danger wasn’t AI, after all. The real danger were the reckless, emotionally motivated, uneducated people.

For nix-darwin specifically, the cleaned up build process, and SDK packaging is nice. It hasn’t eliminated all the issues, but a lot of those are less of a fault of Nix, and more an issue with macOS design. Hoping they can be addressed somehow, but for now, the issues with workarounds are tracked.

And just in general, Python has kind of been a pain in the ass to understand, so any improvement is exciting, as i’m still learning how things work here.

A bunch of packages I want got officially merged or updated during this release cycle too, and as much as I appreciate thirdparty flakes, I don’t want to rely on them too much

Been a very exciting release.

The nix-darwin upgrades come along right as i migrated my Mac to Nix, but even outside of that, all the package and module merges are always welcome. All my machines run Nix now, so the less work I have to do manually, the better

That doesn’t even put into consideration all the games that run perfectly fine, but have no proper input support, or those that require minor tweaks/mods, as mentioned. The number would have been colossally larger as a result.

Still unbelievably impressive though, granted that any of “proper” consoles will never see a game library of this scale

As much as i think the LCD one is insane value, especially the cheapest one, i know i’ll be keeping it for a long time, so i just want the better model. The display improvements are hard to ignore, plus you get a battery life boost too, and that on its own is the selling point for me

Well, I was hoping to buy a Deck to begin with, but doesn’t look like the OLED models are on sale.

For now, i’ve grabbed the STALKER trilogy, Gnorp Apologue and Guildwars

People continue to buy it, so they will continue selling it. On top of that, gaming isn’t even their biggest market, so we stopped, it wouldn’t put a dent into their business.

It’s a big shame though

I dont know why this is controversial. I’m way more happy with 4x USB-C, than 5 unique ports, that will likely never be used on a regular basis, even when they were relevant

Valve already use CEF extensively in their client

With all due respect for Valve, they don’t need this. They exist in their niche, and they’re exceptionally good at doing their work
