Linux market share is still very small, so it makes perfect sense that devs make their games for Windows: they get Linux compatibility for free. Developing a native Linux build requires extra investment for next to no return. There are lots of bad Linux ports that run much worse than the Windows build running through Proton.

Larian released a Steam Deck optimised build of Baldur’s Gate 3, but only because one of their devs really wanted to make it happen and most companies don’t work like Larian.

If Windows market share was <30% then maybe the economic incentives would be the other way around, but there would need to be a project like Proton that lets Linux games work on Windows.

This may just be a usecase thing, but what is the advantage of this over imagemagick? I can already magick photo1.jpg -resize 50% photo1.png and when the process ends it’s not constantly using resources in a webserver.

I also bought a lifetime Plex pass a few years ago, but I’ve migrated to Jellyfin because Plex is no longer a trustworthy project.

ah, sorry about that, I should have read the username…

Ransomware is the money maker, and websites rarely contain valuable enough data that companies can’t just rebuild the site in an afternoon.

Your comment seemed like you were saying not to have AV at all

Security is hard and as Linux becomes a more lucrative target for malware something will slip through. We’ve already seen attempted supply chain attacks with xz and we know that Linux ransomware is out there. AV isn’t a silver bullet; it’s another layer in your defences.

you’d be surprised how cheap a politician can be

I’m sure proton would clear the inboxes before making the addresses available, so there’s no risk of seeing legitimate mail meant for someone else.

In terms of misdirected mail there are two types:

1. Mistyped email addresses
   where a user has made a typo when entering their email somewhere
2. Randomly typed email addresses
   where a user entered a random email when signing up for a service they didn’t care about

Both of these can affect any existing email address (so proton’s plans make no difference), and only type 1 could be a privacy risk.

Email addresses aren’t secret, nor are they personally identifiable (unless they contain your name or are linked with other personal information) so I don’t see a problem here.

Not if you are being compensated for your labour. The actual crime that describes stolen labour is “slavery”

I don’t know where to start…
Steak and kidney pie is low tier but ‘Pie and mash’ is mid tier?
Kippers, Steak and kidney pudding, Black pudding; all crap?
Bump the Cottage and Shepherd’s pies down and stick the hotpot, kippers, and snake and pygmy in top tier where they belong.

He’s been personally promoting the far right across europe and supported the riots in the UK, but more evidence is good I suppose

Ask Charles the first

Just a shame about some of the other voice acting from that game…

‘Rhetoric, and you believe it!’
‘JC Denton, in da fresh’
‘I spill my drink!’
‘JC - a bomb!’

Please don’t conflate singing a national anthem with forcing children to swear allegiance to the state.

The USA and China are outliers when it comes to requiring public displays of loyalty to the state, this isn’t normal behaviour and shouldn’t be encouraged.
