The point is to appeal to people’s empathy.

This ad is saying; ‘Don’t like kids getting blown up? Stop funding the company complicit in it.’

There’s a growing trend here to do away with Americas tech in general tbh; AI is just the latest fad, so it gets a lot more attention. But people are boycotting far more than just openAI here.

There have been similar campaigns about Musk being a nazi for example, which for obvious reasons, is frowned upon here.

I have a suspicion that Americans are actually pronouncing bottle of water this way, because with the yanks every accusation is a confession.

@PieMePlenty@lemmy.world I should clarify that was me pulling the path from memory. So might not be 100% accurate but it explains how the path works with proton/wine when using steam.

Essentially WINE creates a windows styled directory, with all the core folders, and then the emulator uses this as it’s root directory.

Documents is a great example. On Linux the document path is

/home/<USER>/Documents.

On windows it’s

C:\users\<USER>\documents

If we use the default wine settings, the path for the wine documents folder on Linux is

/home/<USER>/.wine/drive_c/users/<USER>/documents

Any program running in wine will only see the files from drive_c and down, emulating how a windows environment would work.

Happy to answer any questions if that isn’t clear. Feel free to DM.

That’s really cool, and great to see. Thanks for sharing!

Oh definitely; and I don’t think there is a great deal of users that would argue for the use of snap over flatpak either, so flatpak would be an ideal unified compatibility solution.

Not sure if I’ve seen a commercial game with a flatpak release; and given the open nature of flatpak, a company (ie: steam) could theoretically implement their own gatekept repository to manage purchases etc…

The main hurdle with adoption is native compatibility with steam; if they started hosting and supporting flatpak installs, the concept would likely stand a better chance. I suppose you could run the whole application sandboxed, which would theoretically sandbox every game installed; but canonical try that, and well… If you search snap steam, you’ll see the issues that brings about.

Tbf the reality for like 90% of people gaming on Linux the path is something like

~/home/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/{game_id}/c/users/steam user/appdata

etc… as most will be leveraging proton via steam. And I reckon the other 10% are making use of proton via lutris or heroic… Or if they’re feeling particularly oldschool, just a wine installation.

IMO it doesn’t make sense for Devs to build games directly for Linux, as the long term compatibility is better via proton than it seems to be for native Linux releases. I have a catalogue of games that offer both installers, and I’d say around half of the Linux versions are fucked. (Tesla Vs Lovecraft is a prime example for me, as it even borked my soundcard for a while when it crashed, which was a real pain to sort, but the windows emulated version doesn’t have this issue.)

And I say this as a Linux enthusiast/Microsoft doomsayer. Using a compatibility layer unifies the way distros interact with games… It enables the wide diversity in Linux without sacrificing compatibility when choosing a distro.

Edit: I just pulled these numbers out my arse to make my point. I have no data on how many Linux users actually use steam.

Protecting the identity and privacy of victimised children is the default stance for journalists here in the UK. I just assumed that was true in most of the western world… Does Canada identify child victims in news articles then?

The reason this girls been anonymised in this case is likely because she’s already been objectified, and would be subject to further trolling/ harassment from people outraged with the situations outcome and looking for a target to blame.

Just look at what happened to Virginia Guiffre, after publicly coming forward with her allegations she was subject to consistent death threats and harassment. Sparing anyone that situation seems merciful in my eyes.

Tired of all those dead subscriptions? Don’t worry, there’s a subscription for that!

I think that would kill a huge portion of Bethesda’s continuous player base, but equally it’s the type of truly awful decision that companies owned by Microsoft are liable to making, so youre probably spot on with this.

Well she definitely ain’t Linux.

20 years is a long time to have that up there…

Imagine if using a dataset containing the same birthdate for everyone results in AIs predicting an upcoming mass extinction due to the entire worlds population being above a certain age. We could call it the epochalypse.

Oh yeah? Ask me about the weather, I dare you.

Agreed, they need to toe the line.

This was the first thought I had too (and I assume most other Brits past a certain age), and he didn’t need a private island to do it in; child hospices and hospitals as you rightly point out were his hunting grounds; many staff even aware of what he was doing, but nothing ever came about from it whilst he was alive. And all the creepy comments he made throughout the years; he didn’t have to hide clearly.

Come to think of it, Saville is probably a hero of Trumps. (If the baboon is even aware of him ofc) He did what Trump is trying to achieve; Dying a child raping hero, and then letting everyone deal with the fallout of your actions whilst your name goes down in history without ever having to face the music.

Being better than the US in any regard for people’s wellbeing is akin to being faster than a dead sloth trapped in dried concrete, imho.
