I’ll just nod once and smile when we make eye contact to acknowledge your presence and go on with my day

The Universe is haunted

Steam web and the readme in the repo says Ubuntu is a requirement, so they are not being very clear on what they do give support to. I know they allow redistributing the client, but that is a different thing.

The readme in that repo says the same and I was told I wouldn’t receive support on Arch in august when I reported a bug. It looks like dev team does track issues in other distros but customer team does not give support.

I’m saying that Steam is not fixing any issues in the client for anything that is not Ubuntu (and SteamOs of course)

The steam client is only officially supported on Ubuntu and only using KDE, Gnome or Unity. So Valve’s support team won’t check issues on any other Linux setup.

I wonder why they only give support to Steam in Ubuntu and not Arch at this point

Yeah, that difference in market share could be used to declare Steam a monopoly. For devs it means they have to publish their games there and accept that Steam will take 30% ofthe revenue.

The boss is just fucking them

In Europe windows are mounted to the walls with a pretty thick layer of foam to avoid stress from the walls. Isn’t that a common thing everywhere?

They have some chance if they wrote code to find a counterexample to some obscure math conjecture

Also the one about coral reef dying which is happening already

Maybe. I don’t know at which point all that extra processing stops being worth it.

They also want nuclear fusion reactors and there is none in the horizon after 50 years of research and development (even though many want to sell the idea that there are).

You can start preparing for post hypercomputation cryptography too if you believe your argument.

It’s not going to happen this century, probably never

Like allowing a federated system instead of a central one, not depending in external libraries and services, and so on. I bet there are many things that would actually improve the security instead of this that is more of a marketing point.

Lol, it shows the hype quantum computing has sold and how detached the public thought is about it from reality.

I’m friends with two quantum computing researchers and they are pretty sure quantum computing will never be a practical application because of how the noise and errors scale with the system size.

Having in mind we are not even close to breaking classical cryptography with quantum computing I doubt this was their best investment of time

The last time Babiš was elected was with the support of the communist party, so that already says a lot about the state of the party

Nuclear, chemical and biological weapons? Starvation? Taking hostages? If they weren’t effective why would countries use them?
