When trying to render a relatively simple page consisting few thousands of text lines in a table, any current browser will cause mouse cursor to lag for some time, then you’ll discover it consumes at least 2 GB ~ 4 GB of RAM. YouTube lags like I have 2 cores instead of 16. Any electron app is either clunky or too clunky, also either hungry or too hungry.
I’m sorry but I don’t have time to look up other cases.
I can’t understand how people can continue relying on chrome and derivatives like electron, CEF etc. and not see it as a problem.
it’s the most elegant and cohesive system. My favorite example of this is when you send an email with Mail.app. Pressing send plays a whoosh sound effect and it’s in stereo! Discovering these details over the years has been a delight
Omg an app is able to play a sound!
I use the one from portableapps because I can’t stand going into appdata every time I need to change something.
Denuvo also prevents easy modding in many cases, causes issues on top of increasing system requirements. Valorant cheats possibility destroys the purpose of the system. But at least valorant anticheat is not being sold as a service to other devs I think.
I haven’t played cod for at least 10 years I think.
Software/game DRM/anticheat (as a service/product) that involves code obfuscation and/or kernel driver.
There should be no issues as long as he doesn’t access the internet directly. If you have a terminal server you should be able to set up any web browser and let him use it in a remoteapp mode.
Yeah, screw CEF, Electron, and webdevs who can’t live without those.
now I knew what they smelled like.
You might be missing out on a secret quest that ends with “get addicted to ants”.
The title seems off. What does it mean to be kept alive for N64 games if you still need assets to play those games in this form, and assets are basically illegal to share the same way roms are?
I wonder if it means something for handheld devices like Steam Deck.
I found no joke in your comment and I’m disappointed.
Those distros are just not being developed anymore, so they are no longer recommended.
If they would actively monitor all listed distros they wouldn’t need to be messaged by maintainers for a distro to get delisted. This means they don’t do monitoring. Someone just compiled a list and called it recommendations. It doesn’t seem to add anything to the whole process of making sure that public downloads contain only ethical code, if there is even such a thing.
I do. I will never buy anything from those companies.
Your comment history doesn’t show that. Only a couple of comments about Nvidia, no real thoughts about Apple. But you made at least 2 posts about Valve and oh boy some of your takes on them show you don’t really understand what you’re talking about.
But to get there I have to use unethical proprietary software that I hate so much.
Have to use that to get more unethical software. I see no problem.
Who said I do?
Games don’t come with the source code. It’s unethical software by your definition.
This is why itch.io is better than gog.
Do they provide ethical installers?
What was removed?
Check the Historical section.
I don’t know what hardware DRM means
It means hardware modules like chips containing the code that you’ll have to do a lot of work to even dump, before trying to interpret and make use of it. Physical games also mostly use storage that degrades over time and I consider it another form of DRM.
I don’t know what you mean.
Why do you bash Valve but not any other company like Apple, Nvidia etc?
You don’t have to compile to know this. You can find the list of fully free distros here: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
The distros being removed from this list mostly by requests from maintainers means it’s not actively monitored or researched at all. So by not verifying it you put yourself on a mercy of other people. It will fail, if not already.
Console games on the other hand usually don’t have DRM when you buy a physical copy.
That’s because you have to use consoles to even read them. They contain hardware DRM and are far from being ethical.
But this doesn’t stop us from trying to build a better world for ourselves and to try to convince others to care.
Am I missing something or you’re thinking that starting with least offenders is a good idea?
but you still need the proprietary Steam client to download them
You do. But hey you end up with DRM free games you like so much. By the way why so you even want games? Aren’t most of them unethical?
Gog offline installers are also unethical, no?
That’s not an expectation. The experience is that this became a reality thanks to google, and that it will only get worse in the future. More competition within browsers is the expectation. Better chance for better frameworks to emerge. Eventually it may cause google code to shift into a better overall state too.
