Valve releases drivers, notes to make Windows work on Steam hardware, but refuses to support it - doesn’t offer support for ‘Windows on Steam Hardware,’ gaming company provides resources ‘as is’
Why support it? Their specialty is Linux.

What do you think of this prediction?
Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they'll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won't care. If none do, someone will want to.

Got to let them learn from their own mistakes
Sounds like he's all shook up... Uh huh huh.

queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban
If you're on the country code, you open yourself up to risk. ml has been a risk before.
Your headline is misleading though. Taliban didn't kill it. Admin did.

How would you feel if Beehaw left the Fediverse?
I don't think you guys cared when you defederated from the rest of the fediverse and turned up your nose at everyone else. I'm not sure why you care now. You guys go and do your thing, but I don't think you're very relevant to the fediverse.
You speak very vaguely, and I don't think you're being fully honest with your reasoning, but by this point, I don't think it really matters.

I was a week away from buying a Pixel Pro 10 for GrapheneOS
Not noticed it and fuck those websites. Happy to boycott.

Taylor Swift's love story with Travis Kelce generates 138 TONS of CO2 in 3 months
Is it weird that the only celebrity who's getting a public print of emissions is one that is despised by a political party for getting people out to vote?
I don't really care much about her, but this feels like "how do we get young people to not listen to this person... ah, let's go with emissions".

Google's trying to DRM the internet, and we have to make sure they fail

I have suspected for a while it is astroturfing. Same as with GIMP and Libre Office where inevitably someone will trash the UI as it's "soooo bad". If you say a lie, and repeat it enough, people start to believe it.

What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?
Is it just me that keeps seeing questions about Skiff that look more like adverts?
It... doesn't feel... organic.

Epic Games is planning a native Linux version of their store launcher (not in the upcoming preview), as more work is needed beyond just a native build (AMA, answered by Epic employee @1percentnachos)
Maybe Linux usage is starting to affect corporate decisions. Good stuff.

Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees
Reply in thread
Because it's a voxel Birch or because you feel the texture is derivative and pixel similarities show glaring similarities leading to the belief the creation of the assets were based on MC textures?
A DCMA from a company representing Mojang got Luanti (formerly Minetest) taken down once before because they thought it infringed. After challenge it was later found it was bullshit.

Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next.
If you leave it too long, folks will just register for another instance, and all momentum will be gone.
I wouldn't take too long getting the rescue boat out when folk are in the ocean....

I modded r/RedditAlternatives, got banned multiple times earlier on for making lemmy migration initatives on Reddit just to be unbanned later thanks to community backlash, now I settle at Lemmy.
Welcome, and keep up the good work. Good to see you here.
Even if you don't like communists. Politics plays a big part in open source for many, and giving power to people and away from corporations. While we were all happy and content on reddit, those guys were grinding away to build something for people. It did not appear over night. To some extent it is what drives and motivates people. I understand you are not communist and don't agree with the philosophy, but it's worth at least respecting that it plays a part in how people operate and is a reason why they self-sacrifice the way they do.
I'm personally a socialist and don't agree with tankies support of certain countries administrations (past and present), but share a similar view of the world in wanting power in the hands of people, not corporations. I think we need to go further to respect other people's views, even if we do not agree with them. Shitting all over them (and the platform) based on their views while supporting the thing they build does feel somewhat disrespectful. It's the same as religion in some ways. You can fundamentally disagree with a religion while conducting yourself in a respectful manner when around those that differ from your views.
Imagine saying "I didn't want to use x because of the creators , but later realised the religious view didn't impose on my own, so I have given it another shot."
I think we need to get to a world where we can be respectful of people having different views even if we do not agree with them and would be quite happy to deconstruct it in debate.

Are memes allowed here?
The rules are against them but this has a lot of up votes so I'll let it slide.
I won't lose sleep about one or two but don't personally don't want to see them dominate the community. There are enough "haha, meme" communities without turning this into one. This community is to help folk in their journey to de-googling which is a difficult and challenging process. It isn't anti-google. Hating google is unproductive and solves nothing, but actively moving away from a company with so little respect for privacy is fantastic.
I don't see how this meme helps folk to transition away, so feels real low value to me.
