  since 2016, valve has been paying for wine development. They didn’t just nab it.

  Also, calling proton a wrapper is a bit ingenuous. Proton is basically wine with upstream patches that wine will not accept. It’s not a wrapper for wine and related software.

  I don’t think blizzard gets as much hate as it should but I think the reason is simple. :/

  i want you to consider that fact that blizzard is a 30 billion dollar company meanwhile nintendo is closer to a 2.5 trillion dollar company. There’s going to be a lot more eyes at nintendo than blizzard which will bring more hate to it specifically :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please choose one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you’re right about other companies being worse, but that doesn’t make it ok for nintendo to do what it’s doing. They 100% deserve the hate that they get, which was my point really.

  Watch them patent pressing w to move forward

  can’t believe i wasted my time explaining myself to this brainlet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please choose one⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that they want money, Nintendo is mainly anticonsumerist, but they’re also a terrible, evil company. Here’s a couple examples why i think so off the top of my head:

  • Locked down hardware. Well, at least they try to lock it down as much as possible.
  • Insane prices for hardware and games. (50 quid for base Animal Crossing fucked me off when I realised that the DLC costs 50 quid fucking more, i returned my Switch).
  • Shitty customer service (look up joy con drift)
  • Lawsuits left and right:
    • DMCA to strike down FOSS emulators because they included a 16 byte decryption key that’s literally public knowledge at this point. Funnily enough, they use a similar FOSS emulator in their own products.
    • Sued the small company that owns Pal World because they included some of their “patents”. We all know that’s bullshit.
    • Sued a journalist for writing for a blog about piracy and fucked his life despite him having no involvement in any of the development. (he was forced to take a deal to avoid them making things worse.)
    • Sued a guy who did in fact enable piracy. That’s fair. Taking 30% of his income for the rest of his life is fucking evil.
    • Fucked over streamers playing the game on release day because they were in an earlier timezome than japan…
    • Fucked over creators playing their games with an emulator.
    • Fucked over creators on all platforms in general for literally no reason.
    • Took down many MANY fan projects because they could.
  • They got mad at event organisers and pulled out last minute because the organisers used a mod to allow internet multiplayer, which caused the official Smash tourney to be cancelled during covid…

  meanwhile Valve:

  • makes the hardware as open as possible:
    • also literally wrote proton
    • also feel free to use any input device to play games
    • also your game console is a fully functional computer you can do whatever the fuck you want with.
    • also, your screen broke? Here, let me help you fix it.
  • charges reasonable amounts:
    • 30% from the developer is industry standard
    • has frequent sales
    • orange box costs like a quid on sale and the lastest halflife costs about 20 on sale.
  • you can “return” games if you don’t like them.
  • first class customer service.
  • got a guy arrested for hacking and leaking their source code, which is fair.
  • allows and enourages modding.
  • massive supporter and contributor of tournaments of their games
  • allows the use of their IPs in transformative ways (3rd party games, sfm, etc).

  but yeah. They’re clealy the same thing. no differences whatsoever.

  sounds like a good business idea to me… maybe i could make something like this if nothing else exists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨- Buy Once Software⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that but think about it. As a Linux user, i don’t go to dowload pages. I simply apt install or pacman -S or change my configuration.nix. I will never see that donate button unless I go to the project’s page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨- Buy Once Software⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imma be straight up. Donations are cool but not a lot of people give donations. partly because some are skint (i used to be) but mainly because people just don’t know.

  i feel like the biggest issue that foss projects face is the fact that they don’t ask for donations in a way that the average user knows about. Kde sends a notification around christmas asking for donos. I haven’t seen any other foss app do anything similar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s not like that. There’s some kind of ML involved but also like they had to map put their entire service area, etc. If something goes wrong, a human has to come up and drive your driverless car lmao

  outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox

  ^ this is the new version lmao. It’s just an electron app (more or less)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  here’s some advice from me. Outlook is completely usable from a web browser. This includes phone browsers… just use that if you need your emails on your personal phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They fit GTA V on a single disk on launch. Sure, textures were blocky and effects looked like piss but you could play the entire game offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same way that someone replaced all rainbow flags with confederate battle flags in Spiderman, someone’s gonna mod the game to change the character’s texture, then racists will also be happy (unless the game is shitty idk).

  I know about the yellow dot thingy. Literally metadata on paper for no reason imo. I highly doubt a person could make a realistic fake through the use of a conventional printer.

  In the UK, we don’t even have paper money anymore, it’s plastic… Maybe it’s more of a USA skill issue, too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Foss printer when?

  In poland before kettles, we used to boil water using gas and that always took ages

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How lomg does boiling water with a good kettle take? It takes like 60s to boil water for me.

  There’s this Polish joke that’s been going around. If you want to find out if your wife or your dog loves you more, shut them both in the trunk of your car and leave for an hour. Upon your return, observe who is truly happy to see you.
