And it changed the Internet, for good and a lot.

That monitor looks so sexy.

VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn’t have.

I wonder if at some point we’ll get a good HL3 from a different studio that have passion to make it’s worth.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn’t make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

What’s good exchanging one bad service for another bad service? Elon can just buy it.

It’s actually disturbing that Thunderbird is the only good smtp/imap client available and it’s not receiving that much funding.

HTTP/3 is UDP though.

So there are two Japanese companies, what racial bias is there then?

They weren’t just random Russians, they were working for companies under sanctions.

That’s just false. First, nobody in the maillists claimed those specific people were working for sanctioned companies. Second, at least one of the banned maintainers, when advised to contact their company’s lawyers, said he isn’t working for any company at all, just freelancing and doing free work for the community.

What were they supposed to do? Ignore the sanctions?

Yes. It was(and probably still is) literally written on the Linux Foundation website that the US sanctions do not concern open source community. It goes against everything open source ideology is, that is code and contribution is all that matters.

And what’s worse it raises serious concerns what other malicious actions to the Linux kernel and other projects Linus and LF had to take on demands of the government that likes to install backdoors in software.

Yeah, it’s literally whether the publisher wants to install malware with their games or not.

I don’t think the point is to do anything on sales. Valve profit from sales. It’s to raise the problem so now the managers have to decide on a scale how much they abuse the players. Before it wasn’t even a problem, now it’s Valve: “maybe you shouldn’t wink wink”

That’s why it’s a big disturbing banner where most gamers don’t understand the text but know that big disturbing banner is bad. Will it affect the sales? Not at all. But it will raise the problem(mostly Linux anticheat) to the higher standing people in the gaming companies than before because now they require those top level managers to make a decision is it big disturbing banner or Linux anticheat.

That was the moment I decided to selfhost my email server.

So now the hosting you use will share the same(or likely much more) data if some government requests it.

From the outsider perspective those aren’t sides but teams going to the same goal with slightly different tactics.
