Better than that, the lack of reliance on spinning disks means that asset duplication and data read order is less of a requirement to reduce load times. It can still be argued that there's just too many polygons, since simply scaling things back would be plenty effective in reducing storage usage and load times.

Important note is the demo was never available for download through steam, only via the website of the listed developer. Valve/Steam have only removed the store page listing.

TechCrunch's writer here just appears to be lazy as hell. Here's a better article: https://www.thegamer.com/steam-gets-second-game-in-as-many-months-that-adds-malware-to-your-pc/

Honestly the Reddit thread is the best of the bunch though if you want more details

I've been utilizing Porkbun's API for that purpose with a periodic script that checks and updates my DNS

Honestly the idea of a Gamepass Centric handheld is one I'm surprised they didn't go for already. If they push it with just the Xbox styled front end, it'll probably be more appealing than the xbox itself

Potential ketamine addiction aside, he's just gravitated toward where he sees more money and unfluence for himself. He wanted the prestige of being a leader in tech, so he used his influence and money to build SpaceX. Then he bullied his way into the ownership of Tesla, desperately wanting to appear as a genius to libertarian and liberal minds alike, but he's never been any less of an authoritarian. When Trump rose to power the first time, he sat and watched and along with the rest of the Silicon Valley Moguls, he began to move himself into positions of influence with populist politicians, borrowing the evangelical right's playbooks and throwing himself into the spotlight no matter the reason. He pivoted off his falsified image as some kind of American self-starter into MAGA rhetoric.

Musk doesn't have lofty ideals or any real focus on the betterment of society. I don't think he ever did. He just wanted to be a real life Tony Stark and command the influence that came with it. Now he doesn't need to, because he's got Trump in his back pocket and is mostly untouchable by any normal means.

A government funded utility that utilizes regional GIS and aerial mapping would go a long way. Google's got the upper hand on directions and traffic reporting though, so that would take more time to make effective. A lot of that is genuinely due to the number of users that exist on the platform though. I think if you tried to implement similar location data analysis for government infrastructure, people would be up in arms at the idea, despite being perfectly happy to provide the same data to Google.

It's unfortunate that Google is as prevalent a default service as they are, but it's hard to ignore how good a service they offer, and how long the development period has been to get them there.

I wonder if this is at all related to the EU changes to eBook DRM standards, where the standard Kindle Adobe DRM isn't compliant

I use Wayland exclusively, but unfortunately I don't think I have an answer for you since I'm not entirely familiar with this idea. Is your concern just for the configuration of a universal set of hotkeys configured within the compositor rather than a desktop environment?

I wasn't aware that x11 facilitated this. I'd have figured keyboard mappings are abstracted from the compositor and left to the DE to handle, aside from core binds that allow dropping back to tty

Bonus security because you're clearly developing for legacy code.

Simple solution there is requiring certification in Canada under Canadian supervision.
