Extended attributes are not KDE specific. KDE just utilize that feature while others just don’t

That’s not how story writing works. Or any long form written art works for that matter. Try to ask any writer if they ever “write in their head” and publish those as a book as-is

It means manufacturers are now eyeing linux as a viable marketable product. If they can pocket the difference between the windows license no matter how cheap, you bet they would do it

Alternatively, just do it sqlite style. Open source, closed development

If you don’t need the rich presence features, the browser should handle everything. The desktop version is just a web wrapper anyway and ships its own browser that may have bugs (to support native binding)

Yeah, they need another revenue stream first before they can retire that IP I guess which does make sense and I wish more games adapt this strategy for their EOL

From their FAQ

Q: Is the game “Open Source” now?

A: Open Source refers to the Open Source Initiative’s definition, which the current non-commercial license doesn’t meet. Ideally, once we finish another game and are hopefully able to re-acquire certain rights, we’d like to re-license the U3 SDK under the MIT License.

In sampling and statistics, I’m pretty sure there are terms for that. To account for the fact that not 100% of the population are being sampled. Hmmm, I wonder what that term is.

I ask the inverse. Why should you demand that every project that uses x.y.z versioning be a semver? A widely held standard only applies if you actually want to follow it in the first place. You know HTTP spec didn’t mention anything about the body in GET requests and so almost every web server just ignores body on GET? Yeah, some software decided to use that. And guess what? That software? It was Elasticsearch. People are free to do whatever they want with their software. If they decided to publish something non standard and you decided to use it, you can ask them nicely to follow standard, or make an adapter for it.

xz is a bit silly too. Someone maintain it alone and look what almost happened. He got peer pressured to almost hands the project to malicious actor (which probably also by social engineering)

V1.2.3 is not unique to semver tho. So it could really be anything like linux 7.1.2. To be fair, linux does predate semver by a long time. But the point is that not every software with #.#.# needs to be semver. And I think better-auth, from the issue linked, has stated that they don’t yet follow semver somewhere in their docs.

Damn, what’s the movie name again? With Tom Cruise cloned and all?

Edit: It was oblivion

Naah, I don’t really demand anything if the author breaks something on update. I just asked if the breaking changes are intentional and if there’s a workaround. Failing that, I revert and look for other libraries or roll my own. To me Open Source is always about making something you love without any obligation. Not even to follow semver.

I wonder if XSS, CSRF and other client side attacks are still common

Honestly, the wave of system integrator and people making SFF build to compete with steam machine already puts steam at the advantage. They already released SteamOS for every other desktop, that means system integrator and pre built can also make SFF with console like experience

Do you even read the premise? The premise is that if they are subsidized. So imagine the same spec for 500-600

Is it? Or is that an advantage for office? Where people only need a browser, ms office suite, and probably adobe pdf. Heck, I bet software development work can be done there. Some light CAD (emphasis on light), and maybe even some graphic design work (not video editing tho). Office also cares about efficiency and with the right consumer it is appealing to have 150-200W power sip compared to 200-350W when you install 50-100s of them.

Read. The issue is if they are subsidized

The problem with valve subsidizing it, is that it will make it an attractive choice to those that are not buying it for gaming on steam. After all, it is still just a pc. You can literally do some real work there unlike a console. It may even fall into a company that provides pc leasing service if they are cheaper than some dell or HP or any other mid spec pre-built.

Sure reviewing changes is easy. But the problem is that it is still a review. You need to have an understanding of what exactly is being done and to account for any oddities that may or may not be because of the quirks of upstream. That’s why I mentioned that AUR trust models should be made like pacman for most helper. We trust the maintainer of Arch so why can’t we trust other people too? Take PPA, the trust model is exactly that. You trust the maintainer. At the very least make it an option that you can choose on first run
