Only if Valve invests the winnings into Linux, which tbf they probably would

I hadn’t considered this before, but it tracks

Let me guess: Michael Kirkbride wrote this, didn’t he?

Tbh, I’m kinda surprised that Valve didn’t agree to work something out to build goodwill after the Steam Machine launch. I personally don’t think the SM’s price is too unreasonable, but it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people are disappointed, and this was an easy win

No, always hate the scalpers. You van hate the companies that don’t do anything to combat scalpers as well, but scalpers are always in the wrong

MOVIM is entirely text based as far as I can tell

What are you talking about? One of its main features is multi-stream video calls, which most other XMPP clients don’t handle

It’s on the roadmap, and it’s a solo dev

That’s… actually a good idea

Why not just have the school district/police department set up and host the cameras themselves and keep all the revenue?

Hold on

It would be kinda unfeasible for the bus driver to start writing down each cars license plate that passes by it when the bus has stopped.

Except that’s a rare thing to happen because it’s a serious crime. Plus there’s other people in the bus. When I was in school we were supposed to help take notes to identify any cars that passed when they weren’t supposed to

Care to elaborate on what they’ve done specifically? This is honestly the first criticism I’ve heard about the site

Why can’t this series just die

Metal

They’re both weasels, so that’s not weird

I get it now. You’re just a tankie/wumao that’s salty about someone mentioning the Uyghur Genocide.

Fuck off

I did read it. That doesn’t mean it was anything more than you throwing it in because it vaguely sounds like you’re making a point

The Steam Machine is more powerful than 70% of systems on Steam. That means that those 70% of systems already need to do the same tricks to get similar performance. Valve isn’t normalizing anything.

If anything, it’s putting more pressure on devs to optimize for lower-end systems by giving them a “standard” system to target for optimization. We saw the same thing happen with the Steam Deck

Or that Europeans are being genocided through “the great replacement”?

You’re a fool. Europeans are deciding on theur own to not have kids due to a variety of socioeconomic factors, but those countries still need labor to keep things running so they use immigration to bring people in. That’s all there is to it.

If European countries would actually address the issues leading to younger people deciding to not have kids, then there wouldn’t be a problem.

But they won’t do that, because then the economy wouldn’t be build to cater exclusively to their version of the baby boomer generation.

because Unreal Engine is quite good

Games made with UE5 are bloated, unoptimized monstrosities

who the fuck actually pays money for those reservations?

Dumbasses with more money than sense
