Mastodon.art is well-known for being trigger-happy at blocking and usually even frame false accusations, their trch.lgbt block has made people lose any trust on them, but there are still people still think they are doing good while in fact they cause more harm tho
How is Sam Altman related to Reddit?
At least Discourse’s softwares are open source, and it as well as many other companies having plans joining Fediverse don’t have a long history of EEE, supporting or letting extremists exist on their platforms and rampage,… like Meta. Meta has a long history of bad deeds so they would get any benefit of doubt.
There are, actually. Since Misskey’s culture are different from Mastodon’s, they have been implementing more features than Mastodon from the start, and Misskey’s APIs are different from Mastodon’s so there will be many weird quirks when accessing Mastodon (even weirder if it’s a Mastodon fork such as Glitch-soc, Hometown, Fedibird,… since they use older Mastodon versions as base) instances from Misskey instances (though Firefish devs are improving this by implementing Mastodon APIs and several Mastodon features). Also note that Misskey caters more Japanese users more than Mastodon, people who aren’t familiar with Japanese culture may also even Misskey userbase and features odd and different as well
However it’s currently difficult for games made for Godot to port to consoles (XBox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch,… not those non-Switch “gaming handhelds” since they are all just Windows/Linux handheld PCs) while keeping Godot open source since the SDKs, APIs, porting kits of these consoles are proprietary and you have to sign in NDAs. If most of your games’ revenues are from consoles, you don’t have much choice currently.
Honestly, given that there are many flaws in desktop Linux security, awareness of people about desktop Linux need to be parallel with better security practices : https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html https://privsec.dev/posts/linux/linux-insecurities https://privsec.dev/posts/linux/desktop-linux-hardening/ I just hope that when people are more aware of desktop Linux, developers then need to be more aware of security and use available platforms or components with security in mind such as Flatpak, Wayland, MAC, Pipewire,… and kernel developers should have cared more about industry security practices, and please don’t give ideological reasons there.
I think that compared to video games, productive softwares, especially “industry standard” ones, rely more on Windows APIs at much more accuracy (and since Wine and its forks such as Proton have to rely on black-box reverse engineering to avoid copyright infringement), the API calls may not have the exact values 100% of the time which is more tolerable to videos games but much less on productive softwares.
Another reason is that most of these softwares unlike most video games are likely using many Windows’ quirks or bugs and are likely less using standard (such as WinUI, DirectX,…) or cross platform toolkit (Qt, GTK,…), making reimplementing the environments and libraries to run the softwares much harder.
Oh, and not even counting that many of those softwares may also use kernel-level DRMs which Wine/Proton/Crossover/… are only userspace level to prevent pirates. This was actually a problem in video games too when many video games, mostly multiplayer ones implement kernel level anticheats or DRMs, until Valve contacted the anticheat/DRM developer as well as the release and popular of the Steam Deck make developers care more about Wine/Proton compatibility, but even then there are some developers still don’t implement Wine/Proton compatibility or even worse ban Linux users for circumvent the artificial incompatibility.
