I hope they’ll do this for the Steam Deck as well while supplies are tight

I never thought of that, but I also don’t want to put hundreds of dollars in my Steam wallet

An article I read on The Verge earlier indicated it could be the Steam Frame

Stay strong against the scalpers!

The left hand looks good but something seems off on the right hand. When I go full screen it seems more realistic, though, so I’m not sure what feels off about it.

Taken out two years ago

I was laid off and found an old paycheck I’d never deposited and got it in one day before expired, just in time to pay my mortgage

I tried for like an hour this morning, kept clicking the checkout button and it would just reload the page. One time I got to the page to enter shipping details but after that got a message saying it was no longer in stock.

Are there any sickos that use black text on white?

IIRC that’s the default on macOS if the theme is in light mode instead of dark mode. So probably.

I feel like this should go to some of the programming communities also, but I’m not a programmer so I don’t know where

IIRC when it was implemented in the first place, it seemed like lemmy.world had actually been contacted by some stakeholder with a DMCA-style request, even though the community was not actually originating on lemmy.world. Explaining how federation worked to lawyers didn’t matter much and with .world at the time becoming one of the larger and more visible instances that seemed like the best way to avoid the headaches. Initially they defederated with dbzer0 entirely before developing a way to block just the community.

That’s what happened to Cool Edit Pro?

I’d love to see older Adobe and even Macromedia products working on Wine, things that don’t phone home. Still, if Adobe doesn’t try to break this and Wine gets current Adobe products working on Linux, that would probably be a boon for getting more creatives off Windows and even macOS and onto Linux.

Someone posted about a read-only Linux client they made that looked like it came straight out of Windows 7/Vista. It was probably at least a year ago and I’m not finding it so far.

For all the breathless enthusiasm from the author, I feel like he’s overselling a lot of the impacts:

For Chief Technology Officers and IT procurement managers, the viability of Linux on Apple Silicon introduces a complex variable. Historically, engineering teams demanding Linux were relegated to Dell XPS or Lenovo ThinkPad units, which, while capable, often trail Apple in battery efficiency and thermal management. If the M3 becomes a first-class citizen in the Linux ecosystem, organizations may face increased pressure to support Apple hardware for backend engineers and DevOps professionals who require native Linux environments rather than virtualization.

Corporate purchases typically purchase new products either direct from the manufacturer or from the authorized resale channel. The M3 was introduced over two years ago and the only products I see Apple still selling with the M3 architecture are the Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) and iPad Air (M3). So any IT manager looking to procure a MacBook for an employee would need to find new old stock still in resale channel inventory or purchase a second-hand device, all for something that the article admits is still in an alpha stage of usefulness.

The progress the Asahi project is making on Apple Silicon is fantastic and important, but I think it will primarily benefit private individuals, not businesses. Perhaps in the future as the developers become more adept at reverse engineering hardware and if Apple makes fewer changes between generations then Linux could start supporting active Apple products, but it’s not there yet.

With Apple putting M-series chips in iPads and Linux gaining support for those chips, I’ll be very curious to see if we start seeing more Linux tablet support for iPads.

I didn’t know it was owned by a Chinese company, nor publicly traded

Newegg was established in California by Fred Chang in 2001, but Lianluo acquired a majority stake in the privately held company in 2016. By 2021, it had merged with Beijing-based Lianluo Smart Limited, with the company being renamed Newegg Commerce, Inc., finally taking it public. At the moment, Lianluo currently owns 54.5% of Newegg.

I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you’re healing with time

From the article:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD used the Debian userland on top of the FreeBSD kernel, although sadly, due to lack of manpower the project ended in 2023. There was a similar effort using the kernel from the slightly older BSD, Debian GNU/NetBSD. Multiple others have been suggested, including ports to the kernels of OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, IBM’s OS/2 kernel and others.

Exactly

If that was their concern they’d be advising less AI investment, but reading the article they’re pushing for industry to do more investment, that only major investment and adoption shows benefits.
