Yeah, I was part of those arguments too. In a perfect world Linux would have enough market share to warrant native ports, but Proton getting Wine one-click integrated into Steam and easily targetable is a more realistic bridge to that scenario than holding out on principle. As it is Linux gaming is in the best shape it's ever been in thanks to Proton.

I also think the argument held more weight 20 years ago, before we started packaging up end user apps in giant self-contained images regularly.

This is a non-issue. If you're a gaming company in the era of Proton, it makes more sense to just focus on Windows issues than to open yourself to support requests from people running any brand of Linux. Proton is just so much easier to target than standalone Linux and you can serve the Linux community / Steam Deck users without needing any actual expertise.

Use the 'scaled' sort for your frontpage. Helps keep the smaller communities you sub to from getting totally drowned out by some of the larger ones.

This sounds like a great beta canon novel plot.

I agree. I have become more amenable to things like Flatpak or Podman/Docker to keep the base system from being cluttered up with weird dependencies, but for the most part it doesn't seem like there's a huge upside to going full atomic if you're already comfortable.

Raised by Wolves had a great intro theme and art style.

I would list the great Star Trek opening themes, but honestly they are long and can be a bit much when you're on your like eighth episode in a row.

Police Union: How could you trample on the sacred rights of the police to escalate any situation into multiple fatalities?

Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!

I use private trackers exclusively for content I want to "own" or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you're maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out...

Anyway, they complement each other well.

I will watch this, but only because I'm fairly certain Neuromancer is unadaptable to the screen. The thing that makes William Gibson great is the fantastic way he writes, leaving so much to the imagination but creating a definite vibe. When you have to fill out every single detail to render it on screen, it's not going to be the same work. I'm sure It'll share characters and plot points, but these are not the things that make Neuromancer such a classic.

Yeah, I'll be honest I'm pretty tuned out on the Dems, but the first time I heard about this was an unwanted donation solicitation that started like "I just got off the senate floor..." and it made it feel so transparent that right now, it's performative bullshit.

Could be the start of something, but it won't be until the Dems prove they're effective at something other than fundraising to lose elections.
