Yes, but that’s a different sale. My point is it can still be considered a loss leader if they sell it at cost. It took them many millions to develop it, so overall they would be losing money on the hardware sales.

That’s as opposed to something like Costco’s hot dogs. There was no R&D there, so if they sold it at cost, I wouldn’t consider it a loss leader.

Even if they sell at cost, they’re losing money because of the R&D costs.

I was like that for about 8 years after switching to Linux. Then I just started accepting most of the defaults. I have my fish configs and my tmux configs, and that’s about it.

He has stated as much, so, yeah.

Greatest font family ever. Both are like at least top five in their category in my opinion. I’d love to see a serif font from Canonical.

Turn based RPGs would be good. You could use the controller one handed. Especially things made for game boy, since there aren’t a lot of buttons.

I use Valve’s Proton and don’t have this issue. That’s not it.

The parts of Nvidia’s drivers that they’ve released as open source are not enough to game on. You have to add additional code to actually be able to game, whether it’s community drivers or Nvidia’s drivers.

Yes, you need closed source Nvidia drivers. That’s a pretty heavily discussed topic. Basically, it’s because Nvidia refuses to open source their drivers. They’ve started open sourcing some components, which is nice, for sure, but not enough to game on. I buy AMD video cards specifically because they work really well on Linux without any work at all.

I’m surprised you’re seeing issues on Hogwarts Legacy though. My wife and I have been playing it over the last few months on two different machines both with Bazzite and haven’t had any issues at all. We don’t use Nvidia cards, so it might be an issue with Nvidia’s drivers.

That’s not the only thing it helps with. But you mentioned marketing, and that too is really necessary to build out a network of drivers.

Capital is also necessary to take the hit when there’s a dispute. If you can’t do that, people will have way less incentive to use your platform. It doesn’t matter if it’s open source at that point, people won’t care when they’re losing money.

I think the solution is a worker owned alternative, not just open source.

If you mean something like self hosted, it would be really easy, but no one would use it. Imagine you order a burrito and the guy just eats your burrito, and you can’t do anything about it. Or imagine you’re a driver and you deliver the food, then don’t get paid. You need a business in between to take the liability for anyone to trust it. It being open source wouldn’t really matter, because you need massive capital and infrastructure to make it work.

You’re gonna upset Woden with this kind of blasphemy.

Just like humans.

But the dust and hair feels so good deep down in my lungs.

Yeah. It won’t damage it with static electricity or physical contact. Unless you’re using some really powerful air pressure.

You probably don’t want to physically cut the power to the PC. It should be fine to do that (modern software and file systems are quite resilient to power outages), but it can still cause issues. So I would suggest using some software implementation rather than a straight up power switch.

The Epstein Ballroom?

Did you read it? You just have to open the app. There are options if you want to change them, but it works when you open it.

Hey, how about zeroing out wage theft?

What do you mean setting up the server side takes a lot of steps? You just open the app.
