Agreed. It's one thing if it's climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there's zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don't bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.

This is about Linux kernel driver maintainership... It's all open source.

Yeah, they all are, even though they probably would have been fun. I'd watch Bakula as Archer again too, I just think there's zero percent chance it would be greenlit.

I can't wait to put this on my shelf next to Enterprise S5-S7, Captain Worf, and Star Trek: Legacy.

I don't have experience with MSI recently, but I'd be really surprised if you couldn't flash a new BIOS off the system partition or FAT32 USB. You may not be able to update from Linux directly, but almost all motherboards I've seen support doing it from the BIOS interface.

On the one hand, this is sort of what betas are for.

On the other hand, doesn't this game require secure boot for anti-cheat? I thought making your multiplayer game enforce security policy meant it was impossible to cheat!?!? Get fucked EA.

I used the communicator chime for a long time, but these days I'm basically permanently in do-not-disturb. My phone only makes sound when a close contact calls, or for a timer/alarm. Anything else can wait.

Glad you're still with us, hope you're doing well, that crash sounds awful.

Yes. It has basically the same issue that any compatibility layer is going to have. It will either faithfully reproduce X11 so well it will bring all of the nonsense Wayland was meant to do a way with (everything not directly related to displaying graphics, like font and geometry rendering from the '80s, network transparency, insecure event handling) OR it will attempt to get a reasonable subset working for modern X apps and it won't be compatible with dusty old binaries and X forwarding etc.

Right now it looks like a shim for Xwayland so it's the first one, but as it matures we'll see.

Intel has been struggling overall, and lately has been letting some of its Linux engineers go. Nothing absolutely fundamental has been affected yet (AFAICT) but I guess Clear Linux didn't make the cut.

I never had an issue with Lutris + a pirated copy. It's trivial to find the anadius rip around in a torrent. Fuck the EA launcher.

Great list. I think you and I might be the only people that actually liked Dark Matter, everyone else seems to write it off as wannabe Firefly and that's... not inaccurate, but I still enjoyed it, haha.
