I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.
The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.
But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.
If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.
It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.
Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.
edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that’s not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
edit2: now that I’ve had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I’m not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it’s impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.
Also, why do these replacement screens always insist on increasing the resolution?
The low res is one of the main reasons the Deck holds up as well as it does.
It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.
If you really care maybe try something like Tails.
In my case it refused to ever mark me as idle, which meant I never got any notifications on mobile…
Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can’t be that hard.
Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?
I wonder if people realize that cyberpunk is meant to be a dystopian satire, and not just a cool aesthetic
No, they don’t… For years now most people have considered cyberpunk to be just “rainy cityscape with neons”.
But it’s not that surprising, since a lot of us already do live in a cyberpunk world, except for some of the advanced technologies usually appearing in the genre.
That’s not why. There’s a very high chance Valve is actively working on new standalone VR since some years, there are regular leaks confirming some progress.
OK, I guess you can leave lemmy now, because I’m sure you can judge entire website based on a single troll’s comment (and I guarantee you’ll find plenty on lemmy). Very smart!
The comment is already removed now, but OP’s post would make you believe the entire thread is full of racism and there’s no moderation.
Trying to incite outrage like OP is doing isn’t helpful for anyone.
And do you have any other examples (as you imply, the thread is full of them) than just one troll that has since been removed from the thread?
Did you comment in a wrong thread?
Because I could only find one vaguely racist comment.
It’s rumored to be for new standalone VR.
But, well, future is a long time, especially on Valve Time. ;)
Well, let me rephrase it: it’s a completely different discussion if you want to run Windows games on ARM without ridiculous performance losses due to translation from x86.
Until we get Proton running with near-native speeds on ARM like on x86 perf/watt isn’t really that important.
It’s a completely different discussion if you throw ARM into the mix.
They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.
Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.
I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.
That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.
Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.
I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.
