  You ask an excellent question, one that I feel you already know the answer to. From my understanding, the term is unfortunately broadly overused for any procedurally generated game, to the point where the original meaning has been lost to time.

  Unfortunately the fact remains that he received 3 million more votes in 2024 than 2020. It’s simple to political missteps and cry foul, but I simply can’t overlook the fact that majority of Americans knew who he was, witnessed the same January 6th I did, and elected to restore that guy to office. In something that shouldn’t have been remotely close, he won. That speaks more to the mentality of average Americans than it does what the democrats did or didn’t do this cycle.

  Democrats aren’t faultless here, they continuously bury their best candidates for political nepotism (and I personally feel Biden would have been a solid president in 2016), lack courage when defending their positions, and are generally too worried to rock the boat that benefits their donors. I personally want funding limits in elections and ranked choice voting in all things and to curb this nonsense, yet the fact Donald Trump secured that many votes, the fact I have neighbors who fly his flag as a symbol of strength, gives me little hope for the future of this country.

  I whole heartedly agree with your points, however I think it’s important to note that Trump did win the popular vote this time around, which if nothing else showcases how far the US has fallen.

  I know nothing about the European software market, but translating this in American, $100,000/year for a principal developer and lead of a project of this scale is like paying him 33%-50% of a US salary for those 10 years.

  I’m a firm believer that people - including open source contributors - should be compensated for their time when an avenue exists that doesn’t compromise the integrity of the project. Mastodon an amazing platform and I wish him, and the project, nothing but the best.

  Give it to him now? Like, I know he’s doing his own thing with death stranding, but for me a Kojima story and gameplay might be the best way to continue the meta-matrix world post resurrections. Doesn’t have to be an MMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I did originally, but I don’t recall secure boot being an issue with it when I did do the switch. I may have had to install a key or something, but I honestly don’t remember.

  I’ve had driver issues with Fedora 42 under secure boot (RTX 3060ti), and Ubuntu seems to be the winner so far that’s playing nice with everything. I haven’t run into any gaming issues yet besides the latest Sonic Racing game not starting.

  I love the philosophy of Atomic distros like Kinoite and even run Bazzite on my AMD living room “console”. I’d recommend them all day long to folks new in the space since they’re hard to break by design - especially Bazzite for a gaming machine if invasive anticheat isn’t needed - but it’s not for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually just switched to Ubuntu 25.10 from Bazzite. Can you recommend me other (non atomic) distros that play nice with both secure boot and nvidia drivers? I don’t think fedora does. I’m not interested in managing keys and certs for my drivers, and do occasionally play those anti-cheat games on a dedicated windows partition. I’d rather not toggle secure boot each time I reboot.

  To this day I still don’t understand the appeal of gaming laptops outside of maybe college kids. Phenomenal calculation power, itty-bitty airflow space.

  I’m unsure if that’s borrowed from somewhere, but I read that in Monty Python.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Sonic went from “fighting to survive” to being a global megastar in 10 years: Sega’s Sonic series producer tells all⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically Christian Whitehead and a rag-tag group of fans saved the franchise, and it’s been slipping back into old patterns since. Frontiers introduced interesting ideas, but the next game needs to build on that, which, let’s be honest, it won’t.

  Just give the franchise to the fans at this point.
