Is anyone else bothered (but not surprised) by the fact that Amazon/Twitch agreed to cover it up for him? Seems pretty wild that they should be off the hook for working to protect his image after doing predatory shit like this.
Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋
Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.
Have a day!

Lol. It’s a close second, but at least Apple isn’t blatantly hostile toward users in the same way that Microsoft is.
Obligatory people getting mad at you for people suggesting you stop using software that is openly hostile toward you response.
Reporting back:
I tried installing The Witcher and Psychonaut. Both worked mostly seemlessly after prompting to install Wine-GE. The main issue I’m having is with controller support, but this may just be a result of trying much older games and mixing that with trying to use Steam Input through the Heroic launcher. I suspect this can be alleviated by using the “Automatically add games to Steam” option and launching the games through Steam, rather than Heroic. Alternatively, if you’re willing to map your bindings for each game, or you are on something other than a Steamdeck and use keyboard and mouse, you should be fine.
I recommend giving a game you already own on Gog a try and seeing how it works for you.
I’ve heard that the Heroic launcher is good for this. I’ll try it out on my Steamdeck and report back.
Using containers on Linux has basically no performance loss compared to running on the host. They share a kernel and nothing needs to be virtualized (unlike containers on macOS and Windows), so anything you run in a container is basically the same performance as running it on the host.
I still agree though: using Nix is better than using Distrobox for many other reasons.
Nix has more packages , by far. Nix also automatically handles the dependent libraries for each package, which is something you can’t do with brew on immutable systems. This means that Nix can install software like espanso, which wouldn’t work on uBlue derivatives otherwise.
I really wish the uBlue maintainers would have opted for Nix over brew for that reason. It’s not much more difficult to do nix profile install nixpkgs#package-name
over brew install package-name
. They could have even aliased it to make it easier.
This is just me being pedantic, but I keep seeing this mistake when UTM is mentioned (specifically in headlines), so I feel like I have to say something:
UTM is not an emulator. It is virtual machine software that uses an emulator (QEMU) to virtualize operating systems.
The difference: emulators emulate hardware. On which, the virtualized operating systems run.
If someone could build a preconfigured image that has Phosh and basic phone apps, I would consider using this full time.
Servo cannot come soon enough. And yet… it’s so far from being even close to ready for real usage.
Seriously. The Luddites were mostly correct about their objections to technology being used to replace humans and making exploitation more efficient, making OP’s misuse of the terms that much funnier.
I’ve never heard of it before. Is it this? I don’t see any mention of it being FOSS or even where to download their app.
Synergy doesn’t work with Wayland, sadly.
Be warned: Synergy doesn’t work with Wayland.
They only just added the option to use a self-hosted instance a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly. If it’s not there now, it should be there soon.
Maybe, but the thing that makes iOS Shortcuts so great is that it basically offers an extensive GUI to interact with all of the system’s APIs.
An equivalent to iOS Shortcuts for Android and Linux.
This is all I want to know. If yes, I’ll pass.
I don’t see many people running Alpine on bare metal. It’s usually in containers.
How do you like it? I’ve been curious about trying, but haven’t found the time.
RustDesk is the closest alternative, and I think it does a pretty good job.
