Some people should just shut up and retire.

True, I had another comment on mind when I wrote it. Someone talking about brain implants. But that’s also valid in this case.

If it will go in someone’s body, it should be completely opensource, from hardware to software.

Based on some opinion articles, there’s something to add: Xitter is bleeding money, fast. Closing Brazil’s office may be just a business move to limit costs. Doing it this way may be a strategy to limit the damage of admitting that the business health is in bad shape. With the added benefits of attack Brazil’s institutions and causing chaos that could benefit the far-right here.

Sure, but there are those who say Moraes is overstepping with his demands.

This decision will go through collective decision on STF, soon will not be only Moraes decision.

all I know is that any loss for Musk is a win for me.

Totally agree on that.

Ignoring a ruling from a judge is against the law, in any country.

There is, the “Marco Civil da Internet” states that a business that works in Brazil needs to respect Brazil’s law, and non compliance may trigger block in it’s service by ruling. The representation don’t need to be on the country, the problem with Twitter is that they closed its offices here trying to avoid compliance in the first place. Elon is trying to enforce his views over Brazil’s law. To force a crisis IMHO.

Yeah, that can be different in other places. From a brazilian perspective, there is no “left” on US mainstream politics. There is only fascist-right, conservative right and center-right.

And Threads

Some bpap sessions helped me get off bed after COVID, and gym helped me get back to “normal” after some months. Don’t know if it can help you, but hope you get better.

Everybody has the right to be wrong I guess xD

Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.

But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually this problems will not happen for the majority of their use base.

So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.

If a game depends on an API and this API gets discontinued, without adaptation it will have problems. That’s true for any software and any system. As a compatibility layer, Proton can keep old games compatible despite the system changes when it translates the API calls that the games depend on to what the base system has to offer. (I’m not talking necessarily of a game running on Steam in this case)

So, enlighten me, where am I wrong?

If that was the case, no console ports would exist, except maybe Xbox because Xbox uses modified Windows internally.

The cost to maintain “native” ports is too high to make sense for most developers.

PS: Proton also makes it easier to preserve games since an “native” port would become incompatible overtime without work to adapt the software to changes in the system it’s running.

It will depend on how many instances will join the extensions…

I have a different argument for why Meta could kill the Fediverse. Even before they engage on Embrace Extend Extinguish strategy, the simple fact that Meta will have an extremely large user base from the start may kill financially the rest of Fediverse.

All projects that embrace ActivityPub are not prepared to deal with the volume of data that a Meta’s facebook-like or twitter-like project would bring.

In a best case scenario it would force the development of current Fediverse projects to focus on sustentability earlier than necessary, and the missing features would be delayed. And that alone would cause problems to the future of such projects.

On the other hand, the smaller nodes would see the storage costs rising fast and would be at a higher risk of dying simply because they would not be able to pay.

Expect this and they killing some of their products.

How low the barrier is depends on how good is your prior knowledge. If you are a millennial that remember the internet before Facebook, it’s probably very easy to understand the gist. For older people who never got into how computers work, or younger people that only saw the internet through smartphone apps, that barrier may be higher than we feel.
