Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.
  • Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can't use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

  • A surge of Russian demand has made China the world's biggest car exporter
  • Lada doesn't really exist anymore. Before 2022 it was just assembling cheap Renault cars with Lada branding (and actually owned by Renault). Now it's nationalised and assembles some obscure Chinese cars (or plans to. Not sure if they managed to set it up yet).

  • Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • Sure, it's hard to craft a perfect solution. However the status quo for a long time was that applications were doing it themselves. And Wayland took it away without providing a replacement.

  • Firefox 121.0.1 released
  • I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

    It's literally the opposite. Windows aren't allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it's unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn't have that.

  • Sam Altman to return as CEO of OpenAI
  • Does it really matter? It's the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it's normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

    *Permanently Deleted*
  • Algorithm favors videos that are highly upvoted or downvoted. Anything that gets emotion/reaction out of you - doesn't matter whether positive or negative - is brought to the top.

  • Canada bans WeChat, Kaspersky applications on government devices
  • Kaspersky is closely tied to Russian government. The dude himself (founder and CEO) has a government position as one of Putin's advisors or something. Also he believes that anonymity should be purged from the internet, and every user should be personally indentified, enforced by the government. In the name of "security", of course.

  • Removed
    Why are gnome devs like this?
  • Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

    High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can't be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

    Well, at least that's how I roll as an open source developer lol.

  • KDE Plasma 6.0 Approved For Fedora 40 - Including Dropping The X11 Session
  • I wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn't sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.

    Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn't. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.
