Dishonored is the closest Deus Ex successor in my mind. Harvey Smith in the level design DNA.

many (if not still most) games with Linux builds run better through proton than the native build
This is probably only true for Nvidia GPU systems.
GNOME Web (Epiphany) should be a decent Safari stand-in.
I believe Apple still has the power to block third party store apps based on signature. It’s a security thing to be able clean malware.
Anyone used Beagleboards?
Libre Computer itself is a Chinese company, though, no?
South Park was right all along. Those time travelers really are taking our jobs.
Why would they need to tie that telemetry to people in order to use it to inform their own development (as it states as the purpose, and is the purpose of all their telemetry as far as I know).
It’s more that it’s a recent change to not allow it on US models. I think only the iv and v don’t allow it.
I wonder if the decline in morale correlates with the decline in morals.
Companies can seem very bipolar that way. Always yelling about how well they’re doing, while also cutting costs to maximize investor confidence.
If a third party app store provides a tool or service to improve their app store, should apple expect to be able to use that for free? Negating any benefit that third party would get for developing such an improvement
Sideloaded apps aren’t asking for benefits from being in Apple’s app store. They’re asking to be allowed to exist on Apple’s platform without being fined for it.
Apple has used other platform API and tooling at no added cost the same way everyone everyone else does. iTunes and Safari used to run on Windows. Apple provides AppleTV+ apps for several platforms. And there’s a number of apps they make for Android.
Apple already charges developers for access to their APIs and tooling. What Apple is doing with the per-install cost is trying to charge developers for access to their audience — which is not what the EU intended.
Abandonware amounts to “the rights holder no longer exists or no one knows who owns the rights anymore” or, more clearly “no one is enforcing their rights to this game anymore for whatever reason, so it’s de facto public domain.”
When my co-workers get terminated for political criticism? Yeah, I would. Lots of tech workers would and do — remember the Blizzard walkout several years ago? At the very least, this is the type of thing that spurs white collars to form unions.
I’m honestly somewhat surprised that these firings haven’t triggered a mass walkout or something at Google offices yet. They’re being very cavalier with employees they spend so much effort (at least historically) on keeping in the office to work “free” hours.
Only in some of the most recent and high-end. I think Apple just added one to the iphone within the last year. Qualcomm wasn’t much quicker. There’s a lot of perfectly good phones out there that don’t have AV1 hardware decoders.
But you can’t just wait until every phone on the planet supports it.
The proper approach is simply to have the app check the hardware decode capabilities of the device and use the best option. Pretty sure that’s what YT has always done for codec transitions in the past.
Forcing AV1 on devices without hardware decode will end up making users think their battery is starting to wear out, even with the better software decoder’
It seems more concerning that YT is apparently forcing AV1 when there’s no hardware decoder for it (if I’m reading that thread right). Seems like that will make people think their battery is starting to go — better software decoder or not.
As I said, it’s on consoles too — including Switch. It’s just that it’s a secondary platform for it — meaning it may be a lesser experience than on the platform it was ported from.
Best of luck, I guess, but seems like a doomed project to me. Forking WebKit, Gecko, or even Servo would seem much more reasonable, and even that is a huge undertaking.
