Fonzie!

Nope! They’ve been profitable for almost as long as they exist with non-tracking ads!

It’s in the article; Ecosia throws money at moz://a and they put Ecosia as one of the search engines.
This means you can click it from a list of icons under your search bar.

No data selling nor snooping involved.

This is how I type when someone is watching and I don’t know why!

I’m afraid most, if not all, of the projects listed use pride versioning, also.

A shameful display!

Oh! I assumed wrongly! Lemmy look into that tomorrow!

I mean, it could just do very basic checking…

Looks more modern than Ardour? Hard agree.
Looks more advanced than Ardour? Hard disagree.

Not to play the devil’s advocate, but with compiled languages you can just install the language, “run” your script and it’ll work, if not the language will catch undeclared variables for you, and more. With interpreted languages you need to not only install the language but also third party tools for these fairly Barovia things.

I know Wine, even better Wine-GE, but they’re not Proton qua performance.

I like custom types and them being able to follow custom interfaces; it makes for great type safety that almost no other language can guarantee!

What I’m saying is I’m learning Rust.

I’m not sure if you’re reading my messages but I’m saying I’m not sure how to do Proton outside of Lutris and Steam. And that CLI outside of a launcher sounds more convenient, but gave Lutris instructions for someone running a game not from Steam.

For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.

Although, I’m not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance. apt doesn’t list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally…

Esc > :x

You’re just shy from describing Bazzite

It’s got:

• Steam pre-installed
• trustworthy (?) Flatpak packages for just about everything, even encourages it
• desktop environment tailored to Windows users (KDE, really)
• auto-install and configure graphics drivers for AMD (Mesa) and Nvidia
• configurable automatic updates and system backup (although I think you still have to click the notification for flatpak updates)
• choice between anything for default anything during setup
• included in Steam Deck compatibility testing (actually in not sure but they do offer Steam Deck builds)

The reason why I can’t try Marvel Rivals with friends.

Fuck kernel-level software from commercial companies, though!

ran through proton

See, this is after where most gaming folks hop off.

In all fairness, if you just run Lutris (pre-installed on Bazzite), log into GOG from there and install and run the game through their wizard, it also “just works”.
That might be easier for most.

For about € 1600 non-smart or € 900 smart in NL.

Nah, 1080p is good enough, even moreso at a metre or 2 from the screen!

Ooh that’s a good one! And quite concise by Colville’s standards /j

I need to get me my hands on The Elusive Shift, as well!

This guy sounds very, very one-sided; calling people stupid etc. mostly because he doesn’t agree with them.

Now let me be clear, I share his point of view, I just think his tone could be a lot more professional.
