There are several things I was doing in X-Org that I really don't have the capacity to figure out in Wayland. One of them was customizing touch pad shortcuts, I used to like having 3 figure swipe commands that worked like keyboard shortcuts. The other was my KVM programs like Barrier seems unable to work in Wayland.

I hope for simple solutions to these problems in the future.

It is misleading. It is 30% of the entire revenue of the game. And it is objective whether Valve deserves 30% of that revenue. It's also true that games aren't locked to the Steam platform and can absolutely make money outside of Valve's influence. History has shown though that it is less profitable then being inside the Steam ecosystem.

The efficiency is doing it so effectively that on an open platform competitors can create there own store, pay for AAA games to appear on their store, take the smallest of pay cuts, pass it on to the consumer, and still have customers prefer to pay more to be in the Steam ecosystem. I'm against monopolies but Valve's is absolutely efficient.

I do want to read articles that change my beliefs and I'm willing to listen to any take that goes against the wider narrative, but nothing that was said here really challenges anything being said on most tech news sites.

Yeah news sites might not always have full understanding of the semantics but the wider piont of Google's Manifest V3 restricting uBlock Origin capabilties and not offering an adequate solution is still very valid.

As a non-American this name still sounds really wierd to me. I just mentally picture meat juice on cookies.

Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it's performance?

Reminds me of one of Oculus Quest 2's default envioments.

If growing up with Simpsons taught me anything is that you need to get the reference to like the material.

They recently got a new CEO a month ago because Linus the owner realized he was unfit for that purpose. It should have been dealt with years ago but I wonder if some benefit of the doubt can be given here seeing as the company was in a state of transition and probably would of cleaned up the work culture in private.

Or not because Linus still owns the company and the buck stops at the absolute top. He put his friend in high positions so it would cause a uncomfortable position when someone who wasn't his friend lower down the ladder were to speak out. He has also consistently showed toxic masculinity in the way he acts and has spread it within the fabric in the company,

I have no strong opinion one way or another, but please tell me if I'm being unfair here on either side here. I think the company can still clean itself up and has shown actions before it was publicly known to address it, and I also think the company has misogyny in it's corporate structure and DNA which will constantly be problematic.

Realistic he was brought in last month so he wouldn't have had time to properly analyse the corporate side of the company. Right now this is the best time or a fresh face on the top who could create change from the top down where these kind of discussions now has real weight behind them.

I think the best way to discourage misogyny is to suspend Linus who would be looked at as the source for 30 days and demote Colton who failed in his duties to protect every employee at LMG. Get someone outside LMG to manage Human Resources. Maybe one day that trust might return.

Imagine just how much worse it would have been if she just came out randomly. The fact she made a glassdoor review long before and it wasn't picked up says a lot about LMG's audence.

LMG has a massive frat boy culture to it. It was never hidden, in fact it seemed like it was welcomed and encouraged.

It's been repeatedly proven that large companies get a impenetrable wall of armour based on fear of speaking out due to fear of retribution or breaking an important connection. Once that wall is broken it allows grievances to finally pass though.

 

Have you or a loved one worked in the NHS as Staff or Volunteer? Had a life changing operation funded though the NHS? Positive or Negative experience with the NHS system?

I have never lived outside the UK and can't say I've ever lived outside the right of free healthcare but hearing stories of individuals needing to fundraise their own surgery makes me realize I take for granted just how much peace of mind the NHS gives me.

At the same token several news reports are suggesting that the NHS is crumbling under it's own weight so it's possible it may not reach 100. It's clear that the NHS as it is currently is not viable for it's own long term health. More will need to be done to keep the NHS publicly funded.

 

It's over at https://feddit.uk/c/london I hope you don't mind the self promotion but I wanted to get the word out there.

I hope we can forge a great relationship and possibly create a great network of communities as we learn, grow and most importantly, have fun.

I can't say I'm a fan of it, I think it's cop out rather then a true attempt to improve public transport around the Greater London area, but at least it's something (unless it gets cancelled or only partially completed which is always something you shouldn't count out with TFL)? Will you see yourself using it? What's your thoughts?
