Sports gambling is just terrible for everyone except the bloodsuckers that run it. Sports teams don't want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games. Personal bankruptcy and domestic abuse skyrocket when people lose money they can't afford to lose. Now the apps feed an unstable addiction literally all day long.

Thanks to the Supreme Court for pulling a bullshit ruling out of their collective asses in 2018 that makes everything worse for average Americans.

Shit, I don't even gamble and I'm just sick of their logos and ads all over every thing when I watch a game. Used to be they had "Gambling Prohibited" up around the stadium, now they may as well own the teams.

They really did you a favor by breaking your existing, paid for software and then designing a chip to emulate another processor to fix the problem they made.

Anyway, enjoy your low power draw. I'll be over here running my whole Steam library on a handheld device that costs less than your RAM upgrade.

I mean, yeah, that's what happens when you still want to be 32 bit compatible. It's also why I said they were ELF64 when needed. My only point was that it's not like Valve just shipped a bunch of 32 bit binaries and called it a day or x64 support was some kind of after thought that needs future support.

Oh, you were still talking about emulating an x86 binary? That's kind of a weird comparison because if you're running Linux and want to run x86 software you can just do it on x86. No corporation is forcing you off of the game's native architecture.

Right, I'm not talking about Steam, I don't think misk was either, the context is Apple transitioning to ARM silicon.

Also Steam definitely runs native 64 bit on x64 systems. It's intended to run in either environment, and so will have 32 bit deps, but if you start Steam, the actual executables you're running (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper) are 64 bit ELFs when needed. And, of course, games run in 64 bits and link to a 64 bit steam client library.

Linux on ARM is stuck in the mud? Huh? Everything works fine on ARM, including the desktop. There are like a billion ARM devices running Linux right now.

Or did you mean Linux on Apple hardware? Because that's by design.

I'm pretty happy with how Lower Decks ended with us wanting more instead of getting run into the ground. It's not so much tapped out as... Done. I think SNW will be too.

Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I'm pretty sure these games aren't even in the same genre.

I always love this meme. The way that dude is simultaneously smiling, hitting weed, and in an action stance in case shit comes his way just makes me laugh.

Announcing Star Trek: Sisko... A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather's restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Aww, now I'm sad Tony Todd is dead.

I had to give up on Soulslike games. It's not that I can't do it, it's that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I'm cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I'm supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

 

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...
