The problems is the games under it. Most notably game with anti-cheat and Oculus Rift desktop games. Does the Oculus client, revive and games work under linux?

The question should be why the hell is there even a ticketing system. Can you imagine how much money the government would save by eliminating the private company running the opal system (who have their own costs of servicing the boom gates), ticket inspectors and maybe even encouraging more people to use public transport by the lower friction of use.

This seems too aggressive a policy. I say that even though I don't own a property and have rent affordability issues. There needs to be a differentiation between a house owned for the purpose of public rental or something else. You should be allowed to privately own something.

Quit fucking around with the private market and drive the price down by competing. Build and keep ownership of Public Housing. It's the only way forward. Maybe a referendum should be held on enshrining the right to housing so no future liberal asshole can sell off public assets again.

Not directly. However they sure have learned on how to capitalise on it.

The thing I loved about Apple 15+ years ago was that even though the hardware was expensive, it was semi modular and tightly integrated with the software and you got an offline product that you could also buy Apple server equipment and software for. 10 years ago was still ok but things were starting to erode.

These days there is no server software, no modularity, no ways to use enough of the new features without a cloud subscription and the hardware is just as expensive and designed with defects to limit it's lifespan (in my opinion). They want to have their cake and eat it too. I was a proud Apple fan boy but not a blind one. Well now they can fuck off. Bye.

I'm now fanboying about Framework and Pine64.

But at least the user content doesn't disappear into a black hole. Like what happened to parts of reddit.

You sir have earned my rare use of the downvote button.

Portal 2. I can listen to the soundtrack and visualize my journey through the game. It's a goddamn masterpiece.

Aside from furthering the development of the architecture (I assume they are contributing and not just taking), It's meaningless as Qualcomm couldn't give two shits about open source chip documentation for the chips they release. I'm only interested in a native Linux phone. Meaning no BSP garbage.

Yet another example of leeching off of open source and not giving back anything meaningful.

Thanks for letting me know it should work. I decided to go through the process of disabling plugins on Firefox and YouTube Enhancer was the culprit. Do you know how I can get YouTube Enhancer back?

Doesn't work anymore. I've had to use piped video for the past 2 days.

Not for PCVR it hasn't. Likely won't ever work with Oculus VR games. All steam vr releases are windows only. Including from developers who traditionally would publish normal games on Linux and even macOS. Although I have high hopes for the upcoming Valve Decard doing for linux vr gaming what the Steam Deck did for normal linux gaming.
