Is bcachefs that good as the dev is saying to justify their bad behavior?

Good.

Nice

You could watch all day today? Or are you thinking it as when you were a child with a healthier body and knew no limits?

Don’t tell that out loud, they may decide to block features of we don’t connect it.

The time is flying fast this year…

Apple, Microsoft and Google, on the other hand, decides what is best for them, shove it down the users’ throats and get users’ money (and personal data) in return…

I think some criticism still valid though (but not the entitlement).

It will depend on how many instances will join the extensions…

I have a different argument for why Meta could kill the Fediverse. Even before they engage on Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy, the simple fact that Meta will have an extremely large user base from the start may kill financially the rest of Fediverse.

All projects that embrace ActivityPub are not prepared to deal with the volume of data that a Meta’s facebook-like or twitter-like project would bring.

In a best case scenario it would force the development of current Fediverse projects to focus on sustentability earlier than necessary, and the missing features would be delayed. And that alone would cause problems to the future of such projects.

On the other hand, the smaller nodes would see the storage costs rising fast and would be at a higher risk of dying simply because they would not be able to pay.

No Flatpak available?

From Arch to Debian, that’s a 180° on stability. But to be honest, I’m using arch for 2 months now and everything seems very stable. I had no problems, yet.

Valve created gamescope, that’s a microcompositor just for games. Other Wayland compositors may still break games.

TBH, not all games works on windows out of the box either. It usually is better than Linux, but I always need to do some adjustments when playing on desktop; to really work with minimal effort, it needs to be a console.

Expect this and they killing some of their products.

How low the barrier is depends on how good is your prior knowledge. If you are a millennial that remember the internet before Facebook, it’s probably very easy to understand the gist. For older people who never got into how computers work, or younger people that only saw the internet through smartphone apps, that barrier may be higher than we feel.

But possibly more damaging, and less accountable.

Direct donations maybe?

I’m moving back to buy physical media… But it’s sad that isn’t feasible to buy the entire library that I have on platforms. That would be an whole life effort decades ago, now it’s even harder since the availability for physical media decrease so much.

I am not certainly sure what point you are trying to make? Yes, this is acceptable as there is no better way to avoid cheaters on PC platform. 🤷

I’m not sure about this one. For sure it’s the most cost-effective method to avoid cheaters, but not the “best” way.

Using statistics on the server side could be less intrusive. Checking file integrity on every run could be an option. Honeypots that are visible only for cheaters already happened with success to detect them.

There are possible strategies.

That’s a bad take. This approach puts the cost on the users’ shoulder when most users are not cheaters.

Why should you pay that price when you are not responsible for the problems they are trying to solve?
