Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point

Pretending something doesn’t exist doesn’t make it go away unless we’re talking about celebrities. Reddit is one of the biggest forums on the internet, of course this is newsworthy.

To keep their membership in WTO. Even if the US exerts massive influence over WTO it’s still the only general trade agreement most countries recognise.

The first one is genuinely good. It’s the later ones that require significant amounts of irony and/or drugs.

They weren’t that bad just before 1929 either.

They paid way less money than CodeWeavers who released their work freely as well.

I’m not able to use it for games outside of Steam because Steam is a monopoly and loads of games release exclusively for it.

Wine is dead simple to use. On MacOS which I use on desktop there’s Whiskey, a free front-end although author of that one decided he doesn’t want to cut into Crossover sales because they contributed so much to it.

Let Valve pretend it’s their product in their press releases but why do Linux users do this much free marketing for them is beyond me. You’re allowing PC gaming to become locked like Android/iOS for very little in return.

If you live in a country that makes telecoms monitor traffic then those have a benefit of not requiring a VPN (because you’re not uploading anything and they usually go for those seeding).

Scala is essentially Java so most of Java criticism applies.

I thought only the most miserable data engineers are using it.

All their chips behind would likely be enough to employ thousands of Linux devs with money left to spare for a couple of megayachts still.

Valve, as in a single paid developer.

They are so missing out. I am now running a movie studio with Claude Magnum Opus 21.37 providing me with an army of scriptwriters and assistants. There are some guardrails that I had to add myself, because I’m a genius, like for minimum amounts of sexual abuse. My productivity is off the charts, I have so much more time for taking antipsychotic drugs.

They fund one full time employee to work on it. CodeWeavers has been at it as a whole company since the inception.

„Steam bad because Valve is very consciously doing everything to make an impression that Valve is behind most of advancements in Linux gaming”.

The moment OpenAI liquidity gets shaky Nvidia will invest in them, same as Coreweaver $2B infusion just this week. This ain’t over yet, they still need to squeeze money from people trying to short them.

I’m being rage baited by attributing Proton to Valve. Who contributed more to it? Valve, CodeWeavers or volunteers doing it for free?

„Valve’s Proton”. At least they acknowledge CodeWeavers exists. They’ve been financing development of Wine for decades and they were able to afford it without taking 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales.

It’s a story of how your brain gets cooked when you’re using LLMs the way they’re advertised to work.

Nobody expects you guys to shake hands with billionaires but take a step back and consider why people voted for Trump. No, it’s not misinformation.

US administration is comically evil but if you assume motivations of those who supported them are the same for all of them then you’re only going to antagonise those that were misled. That was my big issue with One Battle After Another - it won’t change anyone’s mind if they have an opinion on the matter.
