Considering it's still nowhere near finished, they likely want to keep the volume of feedback down, so the - likely small - team that works on the launcher has a chance to handle it all.

I'm currently sitting with an Aura 15 Gen 2, and I'm definitely happy with it.
I do wish they'd get their firmware onto LVFS, but that's about my main complaint.
Been using the KeyDB fork for ages anyway, mainly because it supports running in a multi-master / active-active setup, so it scales and clusters without the ridiculousness that is HA Redis.
I think the only project I've seen so far where I've felt that a blockchain has actually been the correct choice is Alfis, which is a decentralized DNS that uses the blockchain as the public append-only ledger that it is, and it uses proof-of-work to add arbitrary costs to updates - to make spamming or namesquatting expensive.
This won't really affect the development of ZLUDA much in particular, since the main developer happens to live in The Netherlands, and clean-room reverse engineering - especially for interoperability purposes - is fully protected by law in the EU.
But NVIDIA does really like to make it as much of a pain as possible to support CUDA software anywhere but for a single user on their personal consumer-grade desktop.
I feel like this could go really well together with Piet.
Just imagine; an album consisting of a bunch of Velato programs with Piet code as the artwork.
I've heard quite a lot of discourse in regards to unlawful gameplay, I just personally have trouble seeing how it could ever be non-aggressive, it's by its very definition antagonistic after all. Could definitely vary in the amount of aggression though, and CIG's definition of "unaggressive unlawful" seems to be stealth - which I can definitely get behind.
CIG does at least seem to finally be adding more versions of actually non-aggressive lawful missions, not just the various flavours of hand-box delivery missions we have today.
To be fair, I'd consider a silent assassination to be nowhere near as aggressive as a full frontal assault.
With how much security they're speaking about, it does makes sense that even "low-aggression" unlawful activities would still potentially involve a whole bunch of combat.
Version requirements? No rules!
He won't be allowed to perform at Eurovision with the Windows 95 name/trademark/logo, so it would be hilarious if he switches to a name like Linuxman during it.
To be fair, having to interact with MS Teams with any part of your body is painful.
