it should use the linux version automatically, as long as you don't have any overrides in the compatibility (proton) settings

This literally doubles (if not more) the workload to run these benchmarks, not to mention having to write new automation procedures and Steve just not being familiar with Linux at all, all for 2-3% (tops) of his audience.

Be glad that he is doing them in the future and don't be a demanding, entitled prick.

Judging from the past releases, I'm betting:

$60-70 (70-80€) Base Game

$80-90 (90-100€) Deluxe Edition that includes like 20% of the total cars and like a week earlier access

$100-120 (110-130€) Premium Edition that includes the Deluxe and future DLC

Plus some pre-order exclusive cars and cosmetics

I'm not sure if they're concerned with Saturo Shibata directly, it's just that under Reggie, Nintendo of America pushed hard for stuff like free Wii Sports and cheaper prices (which worked great, making the Wii a huge success), while the Nintendo Japan was of the opinion that nothing should ever be given away for free.

Under Bowser, Nintendo of America fell in line behind Japan. Culminating in stuff like the welcome tour for the Nintendo Switch 2, something that is just a tech demo of the device you just spent $400+ on, costing $10.

Having Saturo Shibata as CEO, it seems this will get worse, not better, since Nintendo Japan is excerting more control over NoA.

If you press show all assets, there is an .apk for each release as well.

its called SuperTuxKart-[version].apk, doesn't have android in its name

[–] dangrousperson@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

you can get it from GitHub:

https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/releases

and you can use obtanium to automatically update it (or any apps from GitHub/ the web)

From Wiki:

Brave Software was founded in 2015 by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and former Mozilla CEO who left the organization after coming under fire for his support of eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry [...]

and

In August 2016, the company had received at least US$7 million in angel investments from venture capital firms, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund [...]

Should tell you everything you need to know.

I'd say being 'privacy focused' is just a stick to get non-tech savy/gullible people that want to protect their privacy to use it, without thinking about it twice. Personally, I believe there is 0% chance they don't sell (or simply give) all data they can to Peter Thiel and Palantir.

The probability to NOT be killed by a gun is 0.999^x, where x is the number of years.

At 50 years that would be ~95%, i.e. 5% chance to be killed by a gun before turning 50

At 80 its ~8%

At 100 its ~10%

the joke is that all lines of longitude meet at the poles. So everything is north of the south pole. There doesn't exist a east, west, or south of the south pole

Sure, but the waste of AI is so much worse while providing close to no benefits at all (or probably even damage society as a whole).

Just to put this in perspective: OpenAI alone had a $40 Billion funding round in March this year. That is enough to build that huge particle accelerator and run it for 20 years. OpenAI burned that money in 6 months (they needed another $40 Billion in funding in August) and all they have to show for it is GPT 5 which is just more of the same.

Sure other Science Projects could probably do a lot more with the 40 Billion, but the complete waste of resources in the persuit of AI isn't comparable to ground breaking Physics experiments which actually helps further our understanding of the universe and the very fabric of reality.
