What are their respective market shares compared to steam? Is it comparable? If it’s not, maybe they’re missing the leverage to try what Valve is attempting. But also, and likely, this is a costly long term development process.

It’s not only goodwill, it’s a survival tactic for valve. The worst case scenario for them, is see microsoft expand their monopoly to have all apps and software available only through their Microsoft app store, competing directly with valve, with the unfair advantage of microsoft controlling both windows and the app store. They could (and probably have) tried to get to where apple is with its app store on macos/ios. Though of course this would be an anticompetitive move, but the intentions could still exist making valves life difficult.

The moment they can untie gaming from windows, they have a path forward to keeping themselves not only alive but relevant and probably safe.

What’s that progress tracking website?

I knew of https://stopkillinggamestracker.pages.dev/ but not that one

Congrats! Amazing project, exciting interface and you went the extra mile on the integration side with third parties. Kudos!

Edit: I’ll definitely have to try it out!

I meant to say, any more videos supporting the movement which may have caused an influx in support. Sure, there are indeed videos by some semi prolific developers with a following attempting at crashing the initiative, but as you mentioned, we are trying to get the initiative to pass, not tank it :)

Edit: mandatory link to the initiative (this is the kind of initiative that matters and will lead to action if the threshold is reached!) https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

From when I last checked a few days ago, it went from approx 450k to over 550k! Impressive!

Let’s keep the momentum going, so far this week, we’ve seen videos from:

• penguinz0 with 17M followers
• jeffgeerling’s second channel with 116k subscribers

penguinz0 has certainly caused a large influx, and I’m hoping Jeff will also have an impact.

Any more?

Perhaps give Ramalama a try?

https://github.com/containers/ramalama

Indeed, Ollama is going a shady route. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomment-2599740463

I started playing with Ramalama (the name is a mouthful) and it works great. There is one or two more steps in the setup but I’ve achieved great performance and the project is making good use of standards (OCI, jinja, unmodified llama.cpp, from what I understand).

Go and check it out, they are compatible with models from HF and Ollama too.

Great to see transparent information about framerates distinguishing AI frames from original frames.

One question is, how should one understand the GPU vram usage, when it is reported as 16/15.6 GB?

Never asked me anything of the sort. Were you trying to get a *.swiss domain?

I picked up LibrePCB almost 2 years ago and it’s been a pleasant learning curve. I can highly recommend it, both for beginners and more advanced users.

It is still missing some few features like auto routing, but if you don’t use it, it does a great job.

Because they ask for your phone number?

If you’re talking about the latest proposal to hamper encryption, it didn’t pass.

Infomaniak, a Swiss registrar

https://www.infomaniak.com/en

Edit : or perhaps don’t https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vpns/infomaniak-breaks-rank-and-comes-out-in-support-of-controversial-swiss-encryption-law

This site is missing some alternatives such as the Swiss Infomaniak, so be mindful.

Edit: or maybe not such a good alternative after all https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/vpns/infomaniak-breaks-rank-and-comes-out-in-support-of-controversial-swiss-encryption-law

Denuvo specifically costs money as it’s some kind of subscription so from what I understand most games will drop denuvo one day or another the moment it costs more than the cost of piracy, which is probably once the wave of initial sales has passed.

The imagine if their cloud runs the game using proton. The provider with the lowest overhead would have lower costs and thus a cheaper service. If Microsoft doesn’t do it, someone else could.

Oh yes the 2.0 was also great! They added the rewind feature which is pretty cool.

Both of them can work on the steam deck, though they don’t out of the box.

For dirt you have to add a launch option WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4

And for dirt 2 you need to add a fix for Xbox live.

You’re a gem of a contributor, love the style and content and thank you for making this specifically for Lemmy, much appreciated! :)

Edit: and regarding what I’m playing lately, I’m playing Colin McRae Dirt from 2007 which I recently managed to get working on the steam deck. A fun racing game!

What issues do you encounter when you say they “don’t work right”?
