I’m still running windows for now, but even then Vulkan has de-fucked a few games for me. Given the option, always Vulkan.

I’ve been doing the same thing, if the performance of a game feels like it could be better I slap that shit in there and it often drops GPU usage by at least half, it’s frankly ridiculous.
I don’t hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.
Honestly to God, while I get wanting to play an updated version of games you love, I played through the original trilogy off of gog a few months ago, and they have stood up remarkably well. I can’t help but see all of this as a bit silly.
God I hope so, but the next thing will likely be even more stupid than this, NFTs and crypto.
Stupid as this is, at least he worked it out? I’m a little impressed.
Any recommendations for a beginner or hobbiest? I’m going to assume it goes beyond writing more performant code
That sucks my dude, it sounds like some really shitty people ruined something you liked. So far I’ve found that the only way to protect yourself against that stuff is to set healthy boundaries. It doesn’t have to be rude, but unfortunately some people see it that way. It’s a rough time.
I think it’s nice of you not to be mean. The industry turned me a bit mean as a defence against people constantly shoveling more work onto me. Try to protect it if you can! I miss my lack of mean dearly.
I agree with this. We already have a situation where we don’t have feasible alternatives to the primary method, Google search comes to mind. With Linux, even if every company in the world goes down, nerds will still want to play with the technology.
Well can’t have all the wage slaves escaping to Mexico
Honestly this behaviour comes off as some way to enact a loss leading strategy. Thing is, I can’t figure out what they would be trying to sell here?
Like making everyone use an account for Sony games does not lessen the blow of potentially paying for online, or using a hypothetical PC Sony store, or buying a PS5. It honestly feels like they’re just incredibly out of touch and don’t understand what the hell they’re doing.
The fuck you gotta do to recognise war crimes these days
Oh for sure, I was kind of meaning the whole concept of worth and how we’ve become this weird cult of potential worshipping tech priests, but yes also that.
God I’m fucking sick of this loss leading speculative investment bullshit. It’s hit some bizarre zenith that has infected everybody in the tech world, but nobody has any actual intention of being practical in the making of money, or the functionality of the product. I feel like we should just can the whole damned thing and start again.
Sparkling ethnic cleaning
You’re right, but once we’re feeling effects of that magnitude we’re already pretty much screwed. We’d need long term corrective action, and basically manually reverse all the damage we’ve done. it bought as well be teraforming at that point.
Fuck yeah train pirates
God I wish that were me
