Nope. EAC is already on Linux. You don't seem to need Linux gaming news since you don't seem to follow it now.

Those are all things supporting the GP's statement.
Who let all these Nazis in here?
Oh yeah, B!zX.
Many businesses don't care about the people that work for them because they only view them as liabilities, not as assets.
More accurately, zero businesses care about people who work for them, because businesses are legal fictions, which only exist in the legal system. They don't have brains, hearts, or emotions. People who work for them might care, but as the business increases in size, that becomes decreasingly relevant, and once it becomes publicly traded the shareholders can act to remove officers who don't follow the charter. And while corporations aren't legally obligated to maximize profits by default, the charter pretty much always says something about that, as that's why people invest.
A sole proprietor might care about you, and that might even be relevant...
You mean a scammer fraudster who should never have been eligible to be in America let alone the Congress.
You're talking about Melanie, right? Who lied on her Epstein visa?
Yes, but that's not a legal argument.
That's OK, like Cheeto Benito's latest Ivanka substitute, I didn't pass the bar. (Never claimed to, either.)
e.g. but Elon doesn't even have the courage to take his broken mini organ into space.
Just like the Democrats
Eew, this place is infested, I've got Russian bots on my dick!
Maybe there will be software jobs in the future after all?
AI may be what gets the industry to start taking security seriously. Most computer systems are designed with security as an afterthought, tacked on at the end. Performance has been the primary selling point. But now that AI makes it feasible to find holes that previously would have required a lot of manpower to exploit, perhaps we will see the focus shift in that direction.
You shouldn't use words you don't understand, like "irony".
Or "goodness"
What about that means disconnecting kids from the internet? What about that is a termination of the program?
Nothing.
It costs money to provide those services, and schools and libraries are already wanting for funding in this post-fact America. What's between your ears? Nothing.
They know they cannot scale to sort this out so they have to get the contractors in which is its own bag of issues BUT they are working the problem.
But the problem is that they cannot scale to sort this out. Where you see a commitment to good security, I see that BofA has been punting on security and failing to meet their commitments to their customers, and that culture has now come to a head with the catalyst of AI leaving them no choice but to scramble frantically.
"To store" is definitely the last thing I give a shit about, but it's also true that Steam is impressively bad. Even after they've recently allegedly given it a major makeover, it's still absurdly slow to launch. Forget "to store", how about just "to a window"? Even that takes longer than it should take to get to your library.
I don't let Steam start on login on my Linux system, but I do leave it running once launched, I guess so that it can semi-randomly decide that now is a good time to process some shaders. Of course it's actually just a stack of web browsers dressed up as an application, which is why everything about it is slow. I get that it's sharing content that is being put on the web so nothing else makes sense, but ugh.
If you configure a Linux "desktop" the way UN*X was intended no need for an AV.
A security suite can do several useful jobs on a Unix/UNIX/Unixlike system. It can look for evidence of intrusion, or it can scan files to check for viruses which might affect the Windows systems in accounting. Also, there's no call to be snobby about Unix security because even if "only" a user is infected, they can easily wipe out any of the data to which they have write access. Then you're no more or less dependent on your backups than with any other OS.
Sure, go far back enough (and yes, I was on computers at that time)
I think that's clear from the UID, it's at least good for that much!
but surely he's not saying, "Man, computers were better when you could only run one process at a time
Up through Windows 98 you could still do whatever you wanted on that platform. And ofc there was the Amiga, which was fully multiprocessing, unlike any of the other consumer OSes. It had no memory protection at all unless you swapped to a CPU with a MMU and ran a handler like GOMF. (I think a few Amigas came with MMUs, maybe the Unix machines? But the normal OS didn't use it.)
I think a lot of people do think computing was better back then, which is silly, but nostalgia isn't unusual. I was just looking through some files and noticed one of them contained a bunch of samples of Amiga disk noises to be used with emulators. That's the very, very last thing I would ever want or need. But there were aspects of it which were better in some ways, like that a person could reasonably understand the entire system, and that allowed people to make changes in ways that are hard now. (But of course, they have to be hard for security reasons.)
