Musk vs Brazil: Elon decides to doxx the 7 accounts he "protected" over free speech and got twitter banned in brazil as a result
  • i don't know how to judge what that says about him

    IMO, it means nothing. We have Felipe Neto and Pedro Certezas (famous Brazilian influencers, Felipe being the one with most followers in the country), who are also fans of Botafogo, and defend a progressive agenda.

  • The gamers are so far gone they will have to be put down
  • it does not have to be realistic, it's a game

    "So, you'll happily pay $200 for a triple-A game with Atari graphics and not rant about using 0.001% of your recently bought 24Gb GDDR6 graphics card that cost you your kidney, right?"

    Such a bunch of losers, even they don't know what they want. I bet they'd rant about "lack of graphical improvements" if Konami released the PS2 version with PC compatibility patches.

  • Israeli Minister of National Security saying that Biden loves Hamas
  • Well, yes, but are there Hebrew words for "Hamas" or "Biden"?

    I was taught that you shouldn't translate foreign names, only if the translation serves the purpose of clarification. For example: if I said I studied at USP, you probably wouldn't get it; but if I said I studied at the São Paulo State University (USP), it would be explicit that I'm talking about a college.

  • In a First, AlmaLinux Patches a Security Hole That Remains Unpatched in Upstream RHEL - FOSS Force
  • Projects leaching on the work of companies like that, "freeing the code".

    You mean it the other way, right? Because these companies you defend use the free labor of voluntary developers from the community, which spend hours and hours developing features, fixing bugs and what not, directly or indirectly. That's how open source works.

    When these companies change the project license to a closed source one, they're basically saying a big "f*** you" to the community. Forking the latest open source version of the repository is nothing more than an effort to keep things the way they were.

    huge companies will not pay a cent for Linux in the future

    Linux is FOSS, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you redistribute it without modifying the license. Android does that; every GNU/Linux distribution does that. That's how it works.

    if a license says "you can use it for free, but need to share profits over x$"

    What you're describing is "freeware", what this post is discussing is " open source software". There's a giant gap between the two.

  • Battlefield Comms: We're pleased to share that EA anticheat will be extended to Battlefield V this Wednesday, April 3rd at 08:00 UTC.
  • I think they mean EA Anti-Cheat, not Easy Anti-Cheat. The former, which is used in 2042, does not run under linux (and probably never will).

    BFV runs out-of-the-box on linux systems and has a "Gold" rating on ProtonDB. If EA really goes on with this, BFV will become unplayable, just like 2042.

  • Your PC will thank you...
  • Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.

    Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.

    Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.

    Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I'm a proud Proton user, some games just won't work, like Valorant and PUBG).

  • [Support] Steam/Proton games won't start after fresh install

    Hey everyone. I've been playing on Linux using proton for a while and stumbled across this scenario: you click "play" and the game won't start, it doesn't even bring up the "compiling vulkan shaders" card sometimes. This post is about a fix I've been using and wanted to share.

    Use a process analyser (I use htop) to search for a process with the word "DIRECTX" or "DXSETUP". This process should run right after you install the game and click to play for the first time, as a post-install script. In my experience, this process usually hangs and stops the game starting sequence. Since I know my Proton setup already have DirectX updated, I kill this process (using signal 9 - SIGKILL) and the game starts booting normally.

    I'm currently using GE-Proton8-14 and Pop!_OS 22.04

    How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?

    Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically "american" too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?

    Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by "Americans", while it doesn't for us.

    Opinions on radicle

    I've recently discovered Radicle, which is a P2P code hosting platform, and I liked its concepts a lot. Any of you guys heard of or used it?
