You are blessed with a country with a functioning education system. It seems some countries only educate to the level of “Welcome to McDonald’s. Can I take your order?”

Keka is FOSS, supports 7z for both compression and decompression, and is native to macOS.

Why vinegar?

What’s crazy is that while I used to know countless Maya / 3DSMax people, everyone seems to have switched to Blender. It’s crazy how fast the industry switched to Blender after that UI revamp.

It’s been in Apple devices since iOS 18 and it’s a good thing Android is adding it.

To give people perspective, if you put the seats down in the back of the V70, you can sleep two lying down in the back, no problem.

That Ram is obscenely huge.

We need a /c/MuseumOfLemmy to preserve this treasure in so that it may be cherished and studied by our children and our children’s children and many generations beyond.

And that’s the bottom line… ‘cause Stone Cold said so!

That’s because it is. I worked at a place that did this kind of photography for businesses years back. That steak probably got 20 seconds on each side to sear, the grill marks and caramelization painted on, the juice around it some colored glue, the steam some guy’s vape; those sorts of things.

You’d never want to eat the photography subject afterwards.

Repeating old Reddit memes seems to be a bit of a faux pas around here.

That changed on June 27, 2024. You can now have dual citizenship with any other country.

What an amazing community. Immediate sub.

CANZUK when?

It’s because soccer is more of a southern English slang for football so it was never in parlance across the country (the UK never “switched” from soccer to football).

There are many games of football: rugby league, rugby union, association football etc.

Association, contracted to assoc / soc.

And around Oxford, people like to add ‘-er’ to things. Rugby = rugger. Association football = soccer. Freshman = fresher.

There’s no denying the UK has a bias in the media and literature, especially in the past, to southerners. Thus soccer became quite common in writing and thus exported widely across the world.

But when many of the best football teams in the UK are northern, it’s understandable that the posh southern slang for the game was never widely regarded and remains ridiculed to this day.

“I’ve never engaged in nonconsensual activity, I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes,” the actor continued…

Nice little touch there by the journalist.

Proton literally doesn’t run on macOS since Metal and no Vulkan. Proton translates to Vulkan. You’d need to reimplement everything to talk to Metal. It’s not a driver issue but an API issue.

Drivers, subsystems, kernel are all in that list of releases. That list of GitHub repos together is Darwin (the OS). The kernel is XNU (also in the list).

It’s nothing to do with walled garden - macOS/Unix and Linux are simply operating system architectures. FreeBSD also doesn’t benefit from Proton for the same reasons.

There are Linux compatibility layers for FreeBSD so you can run Proton, and macOS has CodeWeavers’ CrossOver and Game Porting Toolkit (based on CrossOver) which can run Cyberpunk on macOS today.

The only reason macOS/Unix are behind in compatibility layer efficacy is simply they don’t have Valve money and resources being thrown at them.

Since Valve joined forces with CodeWeavers to accelerate development, well, we know the results. We got Proton and the Steam Deck.

True but Linux is benefiting from a huge project to build a compatibility layer for Windows binaries to execute on Linux. macOS doesn’t have that benefit.

But neither Linux or macOS has native builds of those games.

Proton and Wine are astounding and I use them daily but they do mask over the fact that so many game developers don’t care about platforms beyond Windows.

At least macOS is partially open source and POSIX compliant vs Windows.
