Now would be a good time for them to showcase books on fascism and persecution of LGBTQ people in Nazi Germany.
Because it's based on fedora atomic it uses rpm-ostree, which lets you layer packages to persist between updates. Good for stuff that isn't available as a flatpak or doesn't work as well when installed as a flatpak. Beyond that not much, maybe if someone doesn't trust Valve with their OS?
On SteamOS you can still kind of have non-flatpak packages persist by using distrobox. It's still a sandbox, just one that has a bit more latitude in what you can install than a flatpak.
edit: distrobox seems more integrated with the host OS than I thought
Considering Microsoft is dropping support for Windows Mixed Reality devices with Windows 11 24H2, effectively sending millions of otherwise perfectly fine VR headsets to landfill with no recourse. I can see them releasing a handheld with a "custom" version of Windows that allows users to install Steam, GOG, Epic, etc... then bait and switch with a future "feature update" that makes compatibility "too hard" to support or a "security risk". Maybe the desktop mode is a "developer only" option that gets disabled, or you have to enable third party apps like in windows 10 S and that ability gets taken away. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft.
Maybe I'm just peeved at Microsoft for deciding that my VR headset will be E-waste even though the hardware is fine, or ignoring the concept of user consent by enabling OneDrive cloud backups for local folders by default while basically forcing you to create a Microsoft account to install Windows if you don't know the right sequence of arcane f-ing rituals to create a local account. But I don't trust them...
I'm sure the EU will love that bit of malicious compliance that apple have shown they will use to remove non-malware that they just don't approve of using the same mechanism...
Not sure if this is what you're talking about but RIP the coolest media that never got to production https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc
INB4 trust fund babies and gormless capitalists go and ream every last fucking cent from the brand destroying it in the process before moving on to the next thing.
It would be weird if they were listening to criticism of other handhelds and still went with windows.
There's also the possibility of making products out of the gold (jewellery being the obvious example here) and selling for above the value of the materials and labour.
How is ROCm these days? I remember needing the official AMD drivers for OpenCL stuff a while ago and ROCm was in very early development.
Woah, I know they are targeting this for packaging but I hope that this holds up well for uses in 3D printing.
PLA is already the go-to 3D printing filament for a lot of people and making it actually compostable at home and not "bio-degradable asterix, in an industrial compost" could go a long way to alleviating the waste from failed prints, skirts, brims, support material, etc...
I'm ok with the non-answer
If they are human it could be dangerous for them to continue the conversation. I don't know what they believe or if they are under duress. Or they aren't and have simply had a moments reflection. Maybe not, maybe they just want to be done with this since neither of us are going to change our minds.
I'm kind of done with this too.
And by that logic Russia should?
A: Leave Ukraine
B: Keep up it's expansionist war
This one should be easy.
I think we can all agree unprompted expansionist wars of aggression are bad, are you allowed to say that with me or are you within defenestration distance of a window?
If you are blink twice.
If Russia man cared, then Russia man should gtfo of Ukraine.
I mean offsetting complex shapes in one go.
Just randomly throwing together an example:
I don’t even mind the UI that much,
Agree to disagree.
From what I remember something as common as offsetting lines in a sketch required switching away from the sketch workbench into the draft workbench and exiting the sketch editor altogether.
FreeCAD feels like it's where Blender was before version 2.8. The core functionality is there but the UI feels almost user hostile.
I mean if you pay attention most social media inundated with influencers and companies is basically:
"Buy this, no buy this, buy this instead, spend your money here!" It even leeches into everyday conversations outside of social media.
Pay attention to how often people talk about buying things and newly released products. Hell, I've caught myself contributing to it. It's kind of gross when you realize how steeped in consumerism nearly everything has become.
What I'm getting from this is that some monopoly busting is sorely needed.
