Why? Combustion engines are a dead end. European car companies ignored this and kept focusing on ICEs. Now they’re falling behind on EVs, and the solution is… to focus more on ICEs?

At best this will buy the car industry a couple additional years, but doing so will make the crash afterwards even worse.

Used to top, now I bottom

You’re missing my point.

When the miner craze started, the top-line model prices shot up, and they never came back down. All the other prices increased as well.

In a few generations, prices doubled.

Just like GPU prices! As soon as those miners stop buying all the GPUs, the top-line models will come back down.

Oh wait.

I don’t think there’s a single valid point in that comment

Seems really cool, thanks for the tip!

Hm… It’s suspicious you haven’t mentioned any money going to Bavaria. Are you one of them dirty Greens?

Hahaha but it’s funny if it happens to him!! Right?!

X11 doesn’t support a number of modern features well (e.g. fractional scaling) and has a fundamentally insecure operational model that makes it hard to prevent keylogging/screengrabbing, and the developers found it so hard to evolve & work with over time that they decided to start over with a more modular and conservative approach.

While it was a painful transition, I believe it’s worth it. But I don’t think that the accessibility story has developed enough to make the deprecation of X11 a good idea…

Ah yes, who could forget that the US is at war with Venezuela

Isn’t waypipe meant to replace X over SSH?

First, it’s not true that there’s no protection - various anti-cheat solutions do support Linux.

Second, “strong” solutions still let through cheaters, because client-side anti cheat is an inherently unwinnable cat-and-mouse game. It’s better for everyone to block kernel-level AC and instead force better backend solutions.

Not sure I understand - games with kernel-level anti cheat also still have cheaters.

Currently kernel-level anti cheat isn’t available for Linux, so games that are released with multiplayer support don’t require it (e.g. games that enable Linux support in EAC).

If kernel-level anti cheat is supported by Valve, many of those games will start requiring it. So if you don’t want kernel stuff, there’s a real chance this development will reduce the number of available games in the future.

Fixed save points in general.

To be fair, non-fixed savepoints introduce a bunch of additional work, especially on the gameplay design and testing sides, and for some games that work is better invested into other aspects of the game.

But if savepoints are fixed, they have to be frequent enough to not become an issue.

The article opens with:

LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVE been instructed to implement 30km/h speed limits in built-up and urban areas “where appropriate” by 2027.

Now, do you really think “where appropriate” includes roads built for 100km/h?
