How much money exactly? Last time I checked it was just salary for a couple of devs. That’s least they can do while taking 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales. That’s the kind of money that goes into significantly subsidising console hardware for comparison. They benefit so much from the work of others that went into Linux, Wine and the ecosystem already that they should be giving way more in return.

Anthropic claims that. Sucks for them now, but boy did it do wonders for their marketing.

It is Anthropic’s whole business model though.

What if license and copyright was washed by using an LLM to translate Claude into another language?

Either way, Claude can’t be copyrighted because it’s a product of an LLM.

Predictable schedule of stable releases with relatively up to date packages for most of commonly used software and drivers.

They list iTerm2 as affected but list Linux-specific terminal emulators only as replacement even if there are plenty of those on MacOS. At this point I think those lists are prepared by LLM boosters too.

Given that the incompetent leadership is here to stay it’s best to adjust to the situation and not make it worse. Moral victories mean very little compared to getting things done.

They paid way less money than CodeWeavers who released their work freely as well.

I’m not able to use it for games outside of Steam because Steam is a monopoly and loads of games release exclusively for it.

Wine is dead simple to use. On MacOS which I use on desktop there’s Whiskey, a free front-end although author of that one decided he doesn’t want to cut into Crossover sales because they contributed so much to it.

Let Valve pretend it’s their product in their press releases but why do Linux users do this much free marketing for them is beyond me. You’re allowing PC gaming to become locked like Android/iOS for very little in return.

Scala is essentially Java so most of Java criticism applies.

I thought only the most miserable data engineers are using it.

All their chips behind would likely be enough to employ thousands of Linux devs with money left to spare for a couple of megayachts still.

Valve, as in a single paid developer.

They fund one full time employee to work on it. CodeWeavers has been at it as a whole company since the inception.

„Steam bad because Valve is very consciously doing everything to make an impression that Valve is behind most of advancements in Linux gaming”.

I’m being rage baited by attributing Proton to Valve. Who contributed more to it? Valve, CodeWeavers or volunteers doing it for free?

„Valve’s Proton”. At least they acknowledge CodeWeavers exists. They’ve been financing development of Wine for decades and they were able to afford it without taking 30% cut of nearly all PC game sales.

It would be very hard to imagine that Android would look as it does now 15 years ago when it was almost fully open source and AOSP had all necessities included sans device-specific firmware blobs.

I haven’t seen any indication that Valve sells their Steam Machine as an open platform, more that they dishonestly advertise it as „runs all your Steam games” (but they don’t include Windows license to actually do that).

Locking down SteamOS won’t appear as a heel flip when it comes because it’ll happen gradually. Introduce little friction here and there, slowly herding people towards preferred but optional measures, until they’re no longer optional.
