That is interesting, my comment got removed.

I think the commentor meant in regard to US restrictions that may get imposed on a project, since they have odd ITAR/EAR controls. Moving sonewhere with less export restrictions could alter choices of development.

i don't know what exactly was in question in the kernel, that the lawyers had to worry about, but From EAR rules... "note that open source software can still be subject to export control measures if it includes technologies or functionalities that are regulated. In such cases, specific controls may be applied to prevent the unauthorized export of these technologies or functionalities."

IF something was deemed controlled, it makes sense to pull it so kernel can ship anywhere, and whomever received it can do their own tweaks

Mud Runners. Surprisingly a good game if you like mishaps that provide challenges. The soft terrain physics are fun just to watch as your truck plows through, too.

I bought a Front242 CD from a record shop once, got home to find out the staff had grabbed Steely Dan CD an put that in the case accidentally. (The days before tamper proof display adapters, where the media was stored behind the counter)

Sure maybe best cloud gaming experience, but is an avid gamer really going to switch to sonething like that. I'm not a hard core gamer, but I do find game delay stuff annoying, I can only imagine playing over cloud is worse

Wasn't what stopped google was poor user experience? Trying to prerender all possible frames so there is no lag when user changes direcrion etc on streamed gaming seemed like a waste of resources also.

I wish my job allowed for masaive breeches of conduct where I could sit at home and enjoy free cheques....but I guess almost 0 incentive not to mess up on purpose

Hmm, that sucks. I was disappointed they trashed it almost as soon as it started...like a Killed By Googke thing

It is also taking on technical debt, as each revision can come with OS quirks, and you now have to support X numbet of versions of hardware/software troubleshooting.

The Linux Teams app works. I'm not sure what is missing other than MS abandoning dev on it
