Yeah. Not just that, it's Devuan. Anyhoo I haven't actually run an Epic game in who knows how long now so I'm not sure if they still work or not. Actually, now I'm wondering if it's possible to just install the Epic games store as a Steam game... hmm, reportedly possible but uneven. Sounds true.

I'm not as mad at Epic as you are, but sure, they can eat several bags of dicks, whatever. However, factually, whether they are or aren't all in on Linux remains to be seen. I won't make a prediction but I will say that I think it makes sense for them to embrace it now for all the same reasons it makes sense for Valve to continue to do so. Valve paved the way and did the hard work, and Epic would like to come from behind and be a solid #2.

To that I say, bring it on. Even if they are only interested in selling me shit, the more big money-slinging companies back Linux, the better. All the games I ever got from Epic were part of a Humble Bundle or free as in beer, and so far all of them will run fine on Linux. But then, IDGAF about Fortnite. The game I want to have working DRM on Linux is Rust, but I wouldn't accept kernel DRM to get that.

The real question, not for me or you but among populations which matter, is going to be how odious the DRM requirement for Fortnite is.

As for Epic being dependent on Proton, Proton is dependent on Wine, it's all a big dependency party and it's how things are supposed to work. Who knows, maybe they will become significant contributors.

Almost. It is there to produce actual deniability, but not how you imagine. The idea is that you couldn't have copied the method of doing it because you didn't SEE the method. You were handed a spec and you figured out how to do the thing. That way, even if your code is IDENTICAL to the original, because there's only one sensible way to do the thing, it still isn't a copy. And a clean room implementation is the only way you can prove that, so that's why it's actually useful, and therefore why it's actually used.

Those batteries are going to last well over half a million miles before getting to 80% of original SoH

I'm not worried about the cells. I'm worried about the assemblies.

So I think weâ(TM)ll see used LFP EVs last many decades

We'll see. I've had lots of electronics fail in short order without having to work as hard as automotive parts, and I've also seen plenty of automotive electronics fail.
