Haha get fucked VCs. Valve making sure that SteamDB buyout money ain’t coming back from their now devalued goods. It’s a shame we lost a good service but nice knowing it went out with a poison pill.

Not to give too much credit here but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing (although the VBS name is stupid).

GrapheneOS has had Memory Integrity as a mandatory feature for a while now and is part of why they wont support the Pixel 11. Apple Silicone also has this built in and enabled. If anything, Microslop is very late to the party and I have suspicions to why.

See, the only actual issues this causes is that poorly implemented memory alloc/free calls in software no longer fly under this security requirement. Decades of shitty apps (including slop) may crash with security exceptions if they haven’t managed their memory right.

The fact they set the leases out to 2035 cements their lack of interest in fixing anything. For the devs left behind, I cannot imagine the constant demoralising image of another company inhabiting the skeleton of where their friends used to have jobs. This on top of knowing full well that it’s only a matter of time before joining the back of the insurmountable line of laid off developers (and not just in games).

I’m not sure how anyone in AAA stays sane anymore. So many of the people I follow in games have been reduced to beggers just to pay rent.

Which is to say, like ZLUDA, the restrictions have nothing to do with the hardware’s ability to run it. Only NVIDIA’s artificial lockouts and legal threats.

Delta Goodrem is another artist like this who locals in AU would consider ‘famous’ but otherwise don’t make it on the international charts let alone bring anything unique that anyone cares to remember. It’s even worse watching them pad their gigs with covers of bigger artists’ songs. If not for constant TV appearances I suspect these artists would struggle to stay relevant even locally.

It’s not even a competition thing anymore. It’s corporate ecosystem lock-in and humanity’s aversion to change even if it means staying in the most abusive techno-fascist relationships in recorded history. If the bar of entry to Linux was lowered into the floor with an objectively better experience, people still won’t switch until something forces them to.

“Fight on piracy legal emulation and digital preservation”

Let’s not give credence to their BS excuse for destroying decades of gaming history. Emulators have never been illegal and even Nintendo themselves has repeatedly stolen them for profit.

We’ve gone from the village idiot, to villages of idiots, and now the gospel of idiocy praise unto the king of morons and his flock to punish the sinners of critical thought.

There really is no shortage of people who are incapable of thinking critically or that not every issue is black, white, left, or right to be solved with upvotes and likes.
