EA announced that EA Games will be renamed EA Entertainment in a move that splits it and EA Sports into two separate organizations encompassing many of EA's major studios.
Can't wait to see EA burn, after they lost the official FIFA license. The internal restructuring of the groups doesn't affect much, to the developers, as it seems. I think the major concern is that EA Sports games have a negative reputation that affected the sales of single player games. Now they want to separated those images. Otherwise, I have no idea why EA would do this. An interesting period of time to be in.
There is no need for. Flatpak as an additional format is nice to have, but I don't want to trust 200 independent sources. I want to trust my distribution who test and bring those stuff together into a native packaging format, specialized for the distribution. I don't want to fiddle with every Flatpak application until it gets the correct rights for my setup or try to make it look like any other native package. Flatpak does not even work with CLI programs (but could be extended to in the future).
Flatpak is great for big and complicated programs, such as Firefox and LibreOffice. Especially if they get a lot of updates and need to be as fast as possible distributed, such as any web browser.
Further to Reddit's recent woes since the announcement of the API pricing change, claims have surfaced that it has suffered a data breach at the hands of BlackCat , with 80GB of zipped data taken.
People seem to applaud this. But in reality, this is an attempt of making money in cost of the user privacy. So in the end, if Reddit does not pay, then the end users will pay for with their data being public. As a former Reddit user, I am not a fan of this, even if it makes Reddit look bad.
So you think the entirety of Reddit is using random usernames, with disposal email and a random generated password via Firefox? Really? Is this what you say on every data breach that involves user data? Even if that was true, an account getting hacked would be bad. Even old accounts that are no longer used by their owner could be used to spread shit and no one knows who is hacked and not. This is valuable. But that's besides the point. According the article the passwords and accounts are safe.
Users have private discussions or any other stuff, including their real email address and who knows what else. This is bad. This is really bad for the end user. The hackers try to make money, just like any other data breach. Only CEOs would try to talk this good.

Videogame emulation. In early 2000s (maybe in late 90s), a friend called me to his home and said he wants to show me something. Then he said "look" and played my favorite game Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on the PC in front of me. I thought it was a Flash video in the browser and he tried to fuck around with me. As soon as I knew what is going on, I quickly understood the power of emulation. Over 20 years later, this technology is still mind blowing to me.
I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!
There are a few settings you can set, to make it more light. I use it, because my computer is a bit old now. Open Steam Settings > Library and tick ON "Low Bandwidth Mode", "Low Performance Mode", "Disable Community Content" and disable "Show game icons in the left column".
Depending on your system, either enable or disable the setting at Steam Settings > Interface > "Enable GPU accelerated renderin in web views" and "Enable hardware video decoding, if supported".
These tweaks should help with an older system. And Steam has a very small mode too. In the main user interface menu at top, click View > Small Mode.
Oh you are right, that makes totally sense. I was so focused on the performance side. In the past Steam allowed for custom skins, but they never looked great in my opinion or functioned well. If the UI is flexible enough, hopefully the custom skins will make a return. I would like to build my own custom client based on the official client.
Only 1 (and I'm new here). Actually the need for multiple accounts is something I am afraid of and don't want do that. That's a huge bummer to me, because using the native web service is much better. And sometimes they block each other. The unification is probably what I will miss most, besides the sheer amount of central user base.
It does not crash for me, but the UI does not appear anymore and Steam gets unusable in the Steam Beta. If anyone else is in the same position like me, then just start with commandline steam -clearbeta and disable the option "Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views". This problem only happens with the option enabled in the new Steam Beta (and probably because of new Nvidia update too). But it works on stable branch of Steam.
