It isn't about what China would find on the moon, but rather that the whole process would mean they are doing fundamental research and this would lead to advancement for them. Since the US is mostly doing "rent seeking" and much less advancement like that, this would lead to the US falling back in the tech compared to China. At least that's the theory, and why some on the US side are frightened by a tech China on the moon.

Another great example of denying reality by a MAGATARD.

I mean at this point everywhere on the internet that isn't Truth Social is a place to rant about Trump. He's the most deeply unpopular president in US history, not just locally, but also among his own base, and internationally.

I'd be worried about any platform that isn't filled with rants about him. *stares at the fuel price while in being 7800km away from the moron I can't vote for who caused it to skyrocket*.

EAC supports Linux both for first party developers and via Proton. The "people will cheat" is a bullshit excuse.

Yes. Why wouldn't you be able to? You can do that today with digital downloads. E.g. Horizon Zero Dawn (launched 10 years ago) is currently available on the Playstation Store for you to download, including the expansion for 40EUR (it launched at 60EUR, and the expansion launched at 20EUR, so that's half the launch price ignoring 10 years of inflation).

The same applies to Xbox games as well.

Nintendo on the other hand infamously do not discount over time.

In what way? From what I've seen games sold on Steam command the same prices as games sold on disc, back when they were available. Steam is a bad example because we don't have an easy direct comparison.

Meanwhile in the PS store, Xbox store and Nintendo store we do have direct comparisons and the same game from the same publisher commands a premium for digital only. Only yesterday the wife had Mario Kart World in her hand at Intertoys and complained that she wished the digital version was also 70EUR because she doesn't want to have to swap cartridges in her Switch, but alas it's currently 80EUR on the Nintendo store.

For those playing at home, that's a first party Nintendo game, on a first party Nintendo online store (no store fees), which is 10EUR more expensive to draw a website and provide a download link than to physically produce a version of the game on an electronic cartridge that actually costs >$10 to manufacture in bulk and needs to be distributed. Also we were at Intertoys and the game wasn't discounted so presumably there was some profit in it for the store selling the cartridge too.

Yes... and yet... are you starting to see the stupidity here?

Actually the answer is "Yes". It objectively "could" lower game prices. It reduces cost of producing games that would be distributed across consumers.

It won't do, because of course it won't ... but it technically could.

a) The presence of code does not mean it uses any CPU cycles.
b) Kernel support for something does not mean it's compiled in or that it has made a kernel any less "lean".
c) Linux kernel performance is basically at the top of every metric except for specific networking cases where it's beaten by BSD.
d) Linux was never a microkernel. It's been "bloated" supporting virtually anything and everything from initial release.
e) Getting paid by Microsoft to post stupid shit on the internet isn't worth the mental health impact of having everyone call you a moron every day, it's really time for you to find a more honorable profession, like trafficking drugs or sex work.

Maybe you should work less, that will give you time to study some English and maybe learn that not every word put on the internet is intended to be taken literally. And this time I mean *you*, unlike previously where I used the royal you, to mean people in general which means your example really doesn't change anything.

Americans working longer hours than others isn't a meme, it's a statistics.

Yes how will a company that makes $6bn in profit every year ever cope with supporting Linux. They just don't have the resources for that.

Is that the same Epic games that bought Rocket League and then proceeded abandon the native Linux version leaving people who have paid for and happily played the game for years under Linux unable to do so despite the game still being fully supported?

Is it the Epic games who used to release a Linux build of Unreal tournament only to drop support for that?

Or is that the Epic games which manages one of the most popular games on the planet, Fortnite which supports Windows, MacOs, Android, iOs, PS, Xbox and ... not Linux?

Maybe it's the Epic games run by a CEO Tim Sweeny who publicly despises Linux?

But maybe they've changed. They have said they will support Linux. The company which has a long long long long long list of broken promises about the Epic Games Store, such as friends chat (promised 5 years ago), user reviews (on the roadmap since 2019), forums (on the roadmap since 2019), and unified mod support (implemented so half arsed that no developer bothered) will totally pinkie swear that this time you can trust them when they say something like they will support Linux.

I'm sure they'll get around to it just after they finish building the fast and efficient Epic Games Store *rolleyes*, you know, because according to Tim Sweeney Steam was bloated and slow ... only for EGS to take up a shitton of more resources and end up being the most resource hogging launcher on Windows.

They do have one thing going for them, being a shitty electron overlay to a web interface it should be trivial to support EGS on Linux, for all the people who love the native game compatibility and GPU driver support of Linux but really miss the bloated shit of Windows, it'll be the perfect store.

During the old days, they were fun but now not anymore. Good thing I don't have any younglings.

The US Republican party is a wholly owned subsidiary of Peter thiel and Elon Musk. Both of who are all in on surveillance and spying on you.

The Democrats may be reckless and borderline insufferable but at the end of the day they will do what the voters want.

Now if I can just get the voters to stop being so mother fucking stupid.... It's like the old saying goes democracy is the worst political system besides all the other ones

V3.0.24 prereleases exist, but is this issue fixed? I doubt it since VLC would had said so.

That's not how capitalism works. Once you have shown businesses what you're willing to pay they will not cut prices below that. It's called price stickiness. It's why we are going to have long tail inflation long after Trump is finally out of office and his tariffs are removed and his dumb wore in Iran is sorted out by a Democrat.
