If you mean that video where he talked about getting $12 for 80 million streams....he was very clearly taking the piss.

He made closer to $200k, which is still pretty low (hence, the joke) and doesn't account for his labels cut.

Yes, Qobuz is significantly more mainstream than BandCamp. I don't know if the catalogue is on par with Spotify or AM or whatever, but most popular music is on it.

Bandcamp is like an indie zine that occasionally ships with a burned CD from a local band that has to live in the same rented house with no A/C and a half empty bottle of makers mark in the fridge.

Qobuz is a record store.

The Document Foundation doesn't actually employ developers. They just oversee and manage the development and direction of LibreOffice.

I've spent about $125 on this game, and I would definitely get pissed if I bought in for all the promises they made.

However, I bought just to have a really pretty "Fly around in space while exploring my spaceship and listening to music" experience. It's a vibe game. If they took out all the combat and lofty goals and just focused on making a really dope spaceship sim (with all the ship management, repairs, etc that they've promised) I would probably lose my life to it.

I thoroughly support advancing the causes of feminism and women's rights across the world, and would happily listen actively to what she has to say.

But also Emma is pretty fucking hot. And that fit looks good on her.

Problem is that if you have a critical application (like banking) that relies on Google services you're SOL.

It's Apple or Google at that point.

Apple has been seriously underperforming on their AI strategy.

Really makes it easy to keep using their devices.

  • Davinci? Yup
  • Adobe? Not even remotely.
  • Unreal....yes? I'm pretty sure th development tools still run on Linux at least.
  • Crossplatform work? As long as it's in the same format from the same application, you should be fine. Just format the drive in something Windows can understand.
  • Steam? Works flawlessly as do most games now. You will need to change one option in settings, because Steam will by default only show games that are verified by valve to work (most games do though). Your biggest hurdle will be the developers that specifically block Linux.
  • Non-Steam games? You'll need to do some work, but you can get them running just as well as steam games
  • Xbox App/Xbox GamePass? Nope.

This wasn't a controversial opinion, but the groupthink has collectively decided it is now.

RTD2 has been, generally, really good. Yeah the last episode kinda sucked, but mostly the ending. Which sounds like they were stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one. Really excited to see what's up with Billie though.

Also Sutekh's redesign totally works. Omega's redesign was pretty stupid though.
