I never understand why when this happens the solution is always “cut off everyone” instead of placing Linux players in a lower trust lobby

I mean, this is nothing new.
People pirate extended support all the time, just look at LTSB/LTSC.
If ya dig enough you can probably find people Frankensteining patches from POSReady just so they can keep running Win7 lol
Addendum:
If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack […] but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years. […] these devices have so much information on us […] but they don’t leverage any of that information to make the experience any better.
Now this, I wholeheartedly agree.
I feel there’s a looooot of room to try new, innovative, potentially even wacky user UIs and experiences, Sailfish OS and Nintype/Minuum being my favorite examples of a existing concept being done with completely fresh UX, HOWEVER
Not having to work on the lower part of the stack??? What???
If we’re talking about x86, sure I guess, throw a Linux kernel on it and build whatever on top but ARM, specially on phones, looks like a compete hellscape! (to a outsider like me)
Ask any Linux phone Dev how easy it was to get the hardware going. Their heads will likely start spinning.
Could you build a new, modern mobile entirely from components with Mainline Linux support? And did this support come from the manufacturer or was it hundreds of hours of painful reverse engineering from the community?
New phone without having to work on the lower parts of the stack??? Dunno bout that man.
Migrating from Android to a possible “NothingOS” has the same energy as migrating from Twitter to BlueSky:
You’re escaping from one techbro’s grubby hands just to fall into another’s.
He’s gonna do the same shady shit eventually. It’s the way all these companies operate, if don’t go FOSS you ain’t escaping anythin’
Basically Kingsway for ship management. Interesting!
Wow, the future is weird
In the context of Full Disk Encryption, to this day I don’t understand why I’d use it over just typing my password at boot
Why would a AI voice company buy a read-it-later service???
You can use ChatGPT, Claude, Llama and Mixtral via DuckDuckGo at duck.ai
whatever code did that was messing with the content indexer
Those guys were determined you’d get what was on the tin, no matter what
How terrible, such a neat feature abandoned.
I find it funny how console makers spend tons of resources making up new features only for game publishers do the bare minimum porting job and never bothering to implement any of them
Option 4: All of the above.
Don’t understand why they went for 15, in other times a update this small would have been 14.1
Yeah it’s just OneDrive/Sharepoint with a trench-coat
Yeah no, the experience really is ass.
We use Lenovo IdeaPads at work, a model with an i7 and a Nvidia GPU, and Windows constantly chugs and has weird UI issues, even though the machines are not running heavy software and are on a pretty fresh install.
Sometimes when I wake the laptop from sleep, it sits and the lock screen showing my wallpaper and NOTHING else.
Clicking, typing does nothing, I just have to sit there and wait like 2 minutes until it finally decides to show the input field and let me login again.
The Network/Sound/Battery tray flyout frequently stops responding. Only goes back to normal after restarting explorer.exe
The internal display has scaling while the external doesn’t. So every time you drag a window across it “snags” in between them while the application flickers and struggles to switch the scaling.
Switching between virtual desktops is so sloooow, if you use a different wallpaper on each you can literally see Windows struggling to swap the wallpapers in time.
It’s impressive how a native OS feature feels like a third-party kludge.
Great work Microsoft.
What a cool idea!
As an avid swipe user, I’ll try to send as many samples as I can!
Nothing OS is doing it right by letting you choose between a circle, a pill or a big square.
Reminds me of the Tiles from Win Phone/Win 8
OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?
Man, imagine being the IT guy for an all Google shop.
“Hey, why nothing works?”
“Because the government fucking blocked Google!” lmao
Make sure to download any fan songs/mashups/remixes you like off of YouTube, because if Nintendo haven’t striked the fuck out of it already, they will now.
