Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.
  • Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can't use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

    Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • Sure, it's hard to craft a perfect solution. However the status quo for a long time was that applications were doing it themselves. And Wayland took it away without providing a replacement.

    Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

    It's literally the opposite. Windows aren't allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it's unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn't have that.

    Kate KF6 Status
  • It's a feature-rich text editor with LSP support. I suppose you could use it as a simple IDE, though I haven't tried it.

    Sam Altman to return as CEO of OpenAI
  • Does it really matter? It's the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it's normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

    Canada bans WeChat, Kaspersky applications on government devices
  • Kaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin's advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of "security", of course.

    Why are gnome devs like this?
  • Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

    High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can't be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

    Well, at least that's how I roll as an open source developer lol.

    KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session
  • I wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn't sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.

    Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn't. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.

    Alan Wake 2's PC requirements may leave AMD RX 5000-series and Nvidia GTX 10-series users high and dry
  • I don't mind them raising minimum requirements if they actually use features of newer hardware (cough unlike Windows 11 cough), but requiring upscaling is never a good sign. It's just a cost-cutting strategy that allows them to spend even less money on optimization work while reallocating that money to marketing budget or exec bonuses or whatever, at the cost of visual fidelity. It doesn't benefit customers in any way, quite the opposite.
