Got proof for that last claim?

I thought their sealed sender feature was meant to prevent exactly this scenario.

They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine

Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.

This doesn’t affect valve at all though. It’s borrowing their tech that they’ve made open source, and figuring out how to use it elsewhere outside of steam.

Actually, it’ll benefit them. More eyes are on proton and any fix will benefit everyone, including games played via steam.

What happened afterwards? Did you go off on a self searching quest and come to learn the real you?

Thanks,

So they haven’t made an announcement about retiring the proton bridge app yet.

I think I’ll wait until I see them actually remove it before I believe they’re locking us in.

I’ve just skimmed through the proton blog briefly and I couldn’t see anything referencing this. Do you have a link by chance?

That’s a bold claim. Got a source for this move?

I caved and downloaded the Reddit app to get my fix for more niche communities that don’t have Lemmy equivalents yet (I don’t have the time nor the energy to stand up new Lemmy communities).

The app is just so infuriating and information dense. I struggle to figure out what’s actually content and what’s just an advert. Navigating doesn’t make much sense either.

Stay away from the app. Use the website if you absolutely have to.

From memory Apple rejected game pass on iOS because they wanted Microsoft to submit every game (even though they’re all streamed) as separate apps on the App Store to comply with the age rating systems.

I feel like Alan Wake 2 is a different scenario here. Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP and therefore can do what they please with it.

Konami own the Silent Hill IP but have contracted Bloober Team to develop this game. I’d imagine this tweet is them saying Konami needs to give permission before anything can be shared about it.

The way I understand it, it’s an automated job that sends the “trim” command to SSDs to discard all the blocks that have been marked as unused by the filesystem. My knowledge is a little patchy so I’m probably missing some important details…

When you go to delete something on an SSD, it’s simply just marked as being deleted. The file still technically occupies space on the SSD and the SSD will never simply overwrite space that has a deleted file on it.

So… by enabling the service, systemd will automatically send the trim command that tells the SSD to empty out all the space occupied by files marked as deleted which allows the SSD to reuse said space.

It’ll be used by a lot of Linux distributions.

It’s a drop-in replacement to the Pulseaudio and JACK audio systems, with the hopes of making audio handling decent within Linux with as low latency as they can.
