The "you wouldn't download a car" statement is made against personal cases of piracy, which got rightfully clowned upon. It obviously doesn't work at all when you use its ridiculousness to defend big ass corporations that tries to profit from so many of the stuff they "downloaded".

Besides, it is not "theft". It is "plagiarism". And I'm glad to see that people that tries to defend these plagiarism machines that are attempted to be humanised and inflated to something they can never be, gets clowned. It warms my heart.

Epic Crap Store having one less exclusive is always good to hear about.

Its something happened waaay back during the technical preview days. Just like with this instance, the workaround was to rename the installer executable.

And I think you should update to OpenShell at least.

This looks promising. I always yearned for Foobar2000 to be on Linux natively.

However layout editor part is quite confusing (adding widgets seem to add them not where I want them at), and I couldn't get it to play any music, as both drag and drop to a playlist and open file option in the menu causes the program to crash. Plugins didn't load at all until I manually copied them to the places fooyin was looking for, though I wonder if this is an AUR package issue or not.

I'll keep using DeaDBeeF despite some complaints I have with it for the time being, and will keep a close eye on this one.

Remember the days when Microsoft would block ClassicShell the same way they did StartAllBack here, on Win10?

The reason it is so shit is that because there is NO moderation whatsoever (nor there is any care for having it, as there wouldn't be cases like someone that had done ban evasion twice still being active on the forums otherwise). And I think I can safely say that it is just like the same as other social media:

More heated and stupid arguments = more page clicks and views = more ad revenue (Michael definitely inserts some ads into the forums, like come on now)

I have absolutely no regrets using adblockers on there (or internet-wide), and Michael has the GALL to call his subscription service "Premium"... unbeknownst to him that a golden coated excrement is in the end... still a piece of excrement. :V

seen as a signal of independence from politics

Lol. Lmao even.

So people are catching up to the fact that the thing everyone loves to call "AI" is nothing more than just a phone autocorrect on steroids, as the pieces of electronics that can only execute a set of commands in order isn't going to develop a consciousness like the term implies; and the very same Crypto/NFTbros have been moved onto it so that they can have some new thing to hype as well as in the case of the latter group, can continue stealing from artists?

Good.

Np at all! Glad I could help!

If you're using the proprietary drivers: Absolutely nothing will change for you.

If you're using the Nouveau/NVK drivers: Soon the OpenGL driver will be entirely replaced by Zink, which implements OpenGL over Vulkan (think DXVK, but for OpenGL); as the aforementioned driver is in a quite broken state, and nothing short of a complete rewrite can "revive" it.

Sooo... if you're already able to use NVK, you'll keep using NVK, but this time you can utilise it for OpenGL applications as well.
