I found the interview very interesting but also it's clear he deflects responsibility. He says things like "we did not do XYZ" but he uses that "we" for all things involving Britain. Not once did he say even a moderate "back than I did X but in hindsight I was wrong and should have done Y".

Didn't happen with MP3.

As you wrote yourself, the controller acts as a mouse, not as a regular Xbox controller.

Someone re-parented a variation to prevent it being public domain until 2040.

So the variation cannot be used. That's irrelevant for a file format. Some company could, for example, patent a more efficient encoding technique but the resulting file format is still public domain. So at worst an open source encoder would need to be slightly inefficient because it uses the traditional technique.

I fear that, just like the Steam Deck's controller, it won't be usable without Steam running. IMO by default and without any special "driver" running in the background, the sticks and buttons should just behave like a Xbox controller.

It’s a great app!

It's a usability nightmare with a whole heap of random features thrown into it.

Someone will most likely patent hack it in order to reclaim it, then try to patent troll about it… Because corporate people are jerks.

How? If the tech is older than 25 years, it's prior art no matter what. MP3 is fully free for the same reasons.

Let Konqueror die already.

The problem is that handhelds need games that are easy to get and out of. PC has tons of those games while the PS4/PS5 has very few of.

No idea what you're talking about. The top charting games on Steam Deck are mostly also available ob PS4/5.

IMO for this to have any chance against the Switch 2 it needs to be able to run PC games. Ps5 is already struggling with very few games (with most of them likely not working in such a handheld format), it needs something to sell on.

A handheld in development now will have at least launch-PS4 level of performance. Also, PS5 games just need to ship a Low Graphics preset most game developers make for PCs anyway.

Would could, they accept promises that can be taken back at a second time

Who cares. Finally an 11th team.

So what did Andretti do to piss everyone off so much?

Much more importantly: Why does it matter? I don't like Toto Wolff but that's no argument on why I'd accept Mercedes.

I hope it picks up with improved KDE popularity recently!

No, sadly it won't. Its time is over. There was a window of opportunity when Calligra's good separation of UI and logic would have made it a good foundation for a web office suite and the desktop version would have benefitted as a side effect. That niche as been taken over by OnlyOffice. I fear its future lies in being a plugin for document viewer Okular.

What's the guide on how to split the executables up into separate processes, so when a spreadsheet window crashes, all other windows don't go down as well?

Expanding? Calligra/KOffice predates LibreOffice/OpenOffice, it just lost on mind share because the Gnome fanatics hate anything KDE more than the messiest OpenOffice spaghetti code.

Even the launch version of HL1 was a great game but gosh, were Valve a crappy company back then. HL1 shipped with a bunch of trailers, so far, so good. But update patches contained mandatory new trailers. That was dialup era and downloading the updates cost much more money because of those stupid trailers. Then came Steam and made it worse. Imagine the pushback to ads in Windows 10 but add to the annoyance the fact that the annoyances also cost money. Broadband was still just getting started. My family certainly couldn't afford it and they could even less so afford me being online on dialup all the time. So my more wealthy friend passed me CDs with the last non-Steam updates, mods like Counter Strike. Me having been a dumb kid would have ruined my family's livelihood otherwise.

Ja, machen wir. Nach dir.

Kannst ja mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen.

Outside the Apple world, a dock connector has been the norm way before USB C was invented.

Personally, I dislike that Nobara is relying on patched Mesa and kernel versions. This is unnecessary risk of instability. AFAIK Bazzite doesn't do that.
