App images make modding much harder depending on the app, and flatpaks practically remove that as an option.

To be fair, that's just GoG's problem itself. GoG refuses, for some reason, to require developers to ship version-agnostic versions of their game so half the games are stuck in time with library requirements from a decade ago it expects your system to provide. Which it doesn't. And because these are third-party installers and not from the package manager they can't request the package manager to install the library versions they need. And even if they could most distros explicitly will not allow that given the security risk of using outdated libraries.

This could be solved by breaking the linux philosophy and just require the older insecure libraries to be included with the games; which is the most accurate to their mission statement of preserving and archiving old games, but that requires people on their technical teams, their publisher liaison teams, and probably their legal teams all to understand linux well enough to have that as a hard requirement with minimal to no legal liabilities.

Oh hey does that mean they'll actually ship all the libraries needed to run the linux versions of games released on the platform?

Ignoring the wants and agency of the globe is not incompatible with 'policing' the globe, especially given the style of American 'policing' is killing random fishermen and triple tapping girls schools.

And who cares about a large chunk of your population that is apparently powerless and too pathetic to do anything to stop the war crimes the US has been committing every single day of every single year since its founding.

I'm pretty sure committing a felony isn't something that's allowed on a FOSS project.

Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don't get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.

Most people on here, outside of the far-right of lemmy.world, use liberal to mean... liberals. and neoliberals. Aka most democrat and republican politicians, and the current status quo of the western world; aka the single most destructive force in world history.

How is it every single nazi turns out to be a pedophile? It's truly magical how you can guarantee that if someone is this far right-wing, they like to fuck kids.

Are you going to memorize the carry, transport, and self-defense laws of every state on your route?

Are you going to be paying the attorney's fees on behalf of your trucking company and your client and both of their insurance whom all will be sued by any survivors or their families when you shoot someone?

This will be controversial given the "that's not true communism according to my 170 year old theory book" crowd that sometimes permeates western leftists like a disgusting plague; but Xi Jinping. He's released 6 or so books, he has a literal Doctorate in Marxism, and has documented China's success and failures in its strive towards communism, including very good answers for every single criticism western Do-Nothing marxists have towards China's Dengist reforms and their incredible economic success.

It literally isn't politically agnostic, it's Free and Open Source software, which is anti-capitalist.

They aren't 'making waves' though. That's the problem. Companies are quickly finding the permanent inherent limitations of LLMs in regards to coding and several have started desperately looking for Jr Devs again after having a policy of not hiring them for more than a year.

LLMs are objectively a dead end, all current evidence points to this. It would be great if it really were this miracle technology the people selling you the technology claims that it is, but it's not. It's not even competent. Bottom barrel slop devs from exploited countries like India are infinitely more capable than claude or copilot. And unfortunately they always will be.
