It is native with GrapheneOS. Has been for a long time. Apple probably got the idea from them.

That's great but these things never should have been up for sale in the first place.

0.1kWh per hour? Day? Month?

What's in your system?

You are criticizing the verification system by comparing it to ProtonDB which, again, is a different thing.

Different in some ways but serves the same purpose.

Steam's verification isn't "inaccurate,"

Yes it is.

Crowdsourcing something like that would not be a good way for Valve to accomplish its goals.

Yes it would.

I just looked into it again out of curiosity. It no longer requires a Google login (nor does it even require Google Play services, because I don't have them. This will probably change once they go paid, which they've apparently rolled back since the iMessage debacle).

It says it supports SMS/RCS, but it actually supports neither. All it does is connect to your Google messages web account. This is an absolute joke for an app that bills itself at the top of it's home page as "all your chats in one app" and it doesn't even support the most common chat method.

As far as I can tell the app is still closed source.

I can't say I've ever cared about how a game looks.

Fair enough. Certainly some devs spend a ton of time making games look incredible so there's obviously a bunch of users like me who do appreciate that, and also many who don't!

These are "desktop environments". They are essentially the graphical elements you interface with the operating system. icons, windows, buttons, those sort of things.

The two most common are KDE and GNOME. KDE has a very Windows-like appearance and functionality. GNOME is the same but for MacOS.

I have to agree, to the extent that it is very vanilla and missing a lot of things a new user may want but don't know they need or don't want to take the time to figure out how to make it work.

Bambu is in the initial phase of enshittification.

I wish they were more open

This is how you can tell.

Also every time someone links to a print on their website it begs me to download their app.

Cannot recommend.

It doesn't help that Steam store is a nightmare to navigate.

Releasing demos is a great way to succeed. It doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to decide if it's something I want to continue playing.

Putting videos of nothing but cut-scenes is a great way to ensure I keep scrolling but every title seems to take this approach.

Your AI acceleration makes the whole thing a lot less genuine.
