lozunn,

At least on Arch Linux, I've gotten a heavily modded Skyrim to run just fine (tbh, even better than on windows), so it should definitely be doable, although perhaps a bit tricky.
This was with a vanilla wine & some winetricks and a quite old Skyrim base game, though, so not sure about the newer Skyrim iterations.

lozunn,

Oh, look, a shilling bot.

I hope there's some work being done on auto-banning this kind of shit...

lozunn,

Just look at their history and their acc being a day old - there's no way this is sarcasm: https://lemm.ee/u/MrBusinessMan

lozunn,

willing to adopt an open standard they’re not in control of

yet

Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

lozunn,

So... this is what hell was referring to all along?

  • evil people: check
  • underground: check
  • everlasting: check
  • metaverse torment: check

You should remember that there's a lot of numbers between 0 and 1.4 billion - say, 100 million.

Why would they not pad their numbers if they cannot meaningfully be held accountable?
If padding with X users is projected to generate the most profit, then they are going to do just that.

lozunn,

Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_(app)

Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.

"Temporary" in corpo-speak means permanent if it generates profit and there-were-some-technical-issues if it doesn't, so this is just Felon Muskrat testing the waters.

lozunn,

Definitely agree with the sentiment in the comment.

Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old...

lozunn,

I think she forgot the "/s" from her bio.

I mean, no sane person would use this corporate buzzword salad as their bio, right?

lozunn,

In this particular case, you could say that the real unicorns were the human users.

I'm no C expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but wouldn't any reasonable optimizing compiler remove the constant check at compile-time?

Of course, this is not guaranteed and depends on the compiler flags, so preproc should be preferred if compile-time is desired.

lozunn,

I'd dare to say people don't choose Windows, it is forced on them by having it preinstalled and that seals the deal for most. Your average Joe Sixpack would likely not even notice they are using Linux, since most just browse the internet and the major browsers are the same for both.

Well, Valve is a privately held company with a management that has a longer term vision than the next quarterly profits, so there's that. Make it public and let the MBAs in and it'll become shit in no time, which I sincerely hope will never happen.

lozunn,

The cynic in me screams that this post is to stir up FUD because someone at BigSocial is shitting their pants right now... :D (/s?)

But yes, you have some valid points but stretching too thin is not going to get us anywhere and will just result in people leaving due to lack of content. Remember that divide and conquer is a valid tactic too, so having many small instances isn't going to magically shield us from Bad Things (TM).

lozunn,

It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.
