It works in the same way that dumping your GameCube games and running them on Dolphin works… It’s quick and easy, but it’s against the ToS and requires breaking DRM.

Steam’s DRM is weak, and in some interviews some Valve developers even gave hints that this is on purpose. Many Steam games will simply run without Steam if you just double click the .exe in the install folder, and the vast majority that only rely on Steam’s DRM can be opened by running a free “Steam Emulator” software that pretends to be an active Steam account with a correct license.

Works fine on Proton, it even creates the mod folder in the correct place

While you’re not wrong, by that logic, it’s actually fairly trivial to take my Steam downloads drive and run it on any computer even without my Steam account.

I use Arch with KDE Plasma and it looks like a clean version of the traditional desktop you’d expect on Windows, with a bottom taskbar, start menu, etc. But with a really clean theme and tailored to my needs.

My wife is also using Arch with the exact same KDE Plasma version… But hers looks exactly like a Mac, with a rounded translucent dock, a menu bar at the top, widgets, animated wallpapers and so on.

So yeah KDE Plasma is amazing, it will adapt to your exact preferences and not get in the way.

What I don’t understand about Windows 11 is why they can’t seem to fix the weird delay that now exists across the entire UI.

Right click, weird delay, menu shows up.

Press the Start button, weird delay, menu shows up.

Open Explorer, weird delay, program shows up.

Enter text in the search field, weird delay, results show up.

Windows 10 didn’t have that delay.

Some 90’s microwaves actually used some chips to measure humidity and using a little reference table adjust how long certain foods need to cook for, for instance, popcorn can be popped perfectly without burning and almost without leftover kernels if you can measure how much water is being released. The same goes for cooking frozen meats, vegetables, and so on.

But what we get in modern ones instead are horrendous touchscreens, simple timers that never quite match the food they promise to work on, and Wi-Fi.

I can’t really stand behind and defend boycotting every defense tech investor.

I can. Easily.

And don’t let their Like buttons and cookies exist in other websites too

That entire paragraph is much better at supporting the precise opposite argument. Computers can beat Kasparov at chess, but they’re clearly not thinking when making a move - even if we use the most open biological definitions for thinking.

Apple is significantly behind and arrived late to the whole AI hype, so of course it’s in their absolute best interest to keep showing how LLMs aren’t special or amazingly revolutionary.

They’re not wrong, but the motivation is also pretty clear.

It doesn’t “need” to be anything. It could be a DKMS module that is mandatory for playing a game.

Whether people would like it and use it is a completely different story.

Consequences will never be the same
