It's a shame I have a year subscription to them. I'll be cancelling and moving the second it runs outs.
I agree, it is sad, but your McDonalds comparison is not at all the same situation. I do when possible try to use privacy respecting software. There's a reason I'm on Lemmy. However, I'm using Lemmy from an Android phone. In many situations in everyday life, there is no simple way of avoiding having your data collected. My ISP and credit card companies collect and sell my usage information. I fortunately still have an older car, but when it inevitably dies, I'm gonna have to upgrade to one with an internet connection that also collects information. When my data is already being collected and sold by so many companies, I'm not going to stress myself out by worrying about adding one more, especially when the information they'd gain (my phone number and social media interests) is already plenty available from Google.
In your comparison, you act as if I've chosen to have this and have now given up. In reality, we're in a world where it's often the only option.
The correct answer is proper legislation to prevent and reduce this, because the sad truth is that the large majority of consumers never gave a shit.
Seriously, why should I give a shit about that at this point? Any information I put into this app they could easily get from Google.
a company that now owns the most talked about app online is not astro turfing on Lemmy.
They aren't suggesting that it's for those players. They're telling OP and people who agree with them to go play the games that are designed how they want.
That's true, but its still not nvidia making that, so it's a bit of a different thing. It will never support certain things like CUDA. It is really cool though and wouldve never happened without the open kernel modules.
Then there's nothing wrong with staying on Windows. I play nearly exclusively competitive multiplayer games, but all the ones I play work with Proton.
I assumed it was that. I saw explicit Linux support on their site, so wanted to confirm.
Nothing wrong with having that fear, just not super fair to assume it won't work in that case. Both the devices you've mentioned have good Linux support, and would likely work pretty well out of the box.
Those things have nothing to do with containerization. They can do those things without it. Containerization exists to improve privacy and security. It can do the same thing on Linux.
Even if you trust an app, it can have vulnerabilities you are unaware of. Containerization helps limit the effects damage from a vulnerability could have. They also simplify the distribution of software, which is the primary goal of Flatpak. There are benefits for using containers for open source software, you're just refusing to acknowledge them. Nobody is forcing you to use containerization, and I don't care to convince you to. I just think acting like Flatpak and other container based package formats is some corporate conspiracy is silly. Flatpak is FOSS and mainly distributes FOSS.
Because it improves security and privacy, something they can advertise as a feature. There's no negative for them to implement, it's their phone, they can already collect all the data they want. It still prevents other apps from accessing data they shouldn't.
Why do you think phone makers push it? What possible malicious reason do you think proprietary software makers have to push containerization and sandboxing? What do they gain?

Devs Announce Faceit Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck

Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

The decomcrats are fucking morons for allowing Trump to take credit for this. This was the obvious outcome and was easily preventable.
