Atari revives Infogrames and acquires Totally Reliable Delivery Service gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/atar…

#Atari #PCGaming #Gaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

"Infogrames built a reputation" - my first thought was that now they can abuse and destroy that reputation, simply judging by today's trends.


Flathub for Linux apps has been given quite the makeover gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/flat…

as much as i would love to ditch windows if i could, that "just" is holding a LOT of weight
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I mean, if a person really needs a Windows only program that doesn’t work well with Wine, then maybe I’d say use a Windows 11 VM.

But yeah, Windows 11 (the original release no less) is what turned me from a dual-boot Windows 10 and Linux user to a full-time Linux user.

Enough is enough with these ads, this is getting really ridiculous. We just need more Linux pre-installed laptops; fortunately, @slimbook FINALLY has a US ANSI keyboard option for the Fedora Slimbook.



Minecraft v1.20.5 the Armored Paws drop update is live now gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/mine…

#Minecraft #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Kudos to Microsoft. Ten years after the acquisition, Java edition is still a thing and is pretty much equal to Bedrock in terms of gameplay features. There was always the worry they would drop it.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Nice update 🔥 The Armored Paws drop is another reason why Minecraft Java Edition stays on top — fast updates, solid mechanics, and PC-first features that hit players immediately. Java keeps delivering for long-time and competitive players. minecrftapk.com.br/minecraft-j…

Steam refunds get adjusted to account for pre-release playtime gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/stea…

#Steam #Valve

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

IMO it should be the other way around - consumers should be able to refund early access games anytime during this stage, and Steam should allow another 2h of playtime after full release. It's early access - consumers are testers, what if game turn to be a dud or stuck in ea forever? IMO this change shifts responsibility to consumer over unfinished product. It's not fair.

in reply to Muse

Agreed. But I'm not dancing in public. Ever. 😀


Get ready! 🚀
Today's the day we unveil Nextcloud Hub 8 at 2 PM CEST!

Don't miss out on the live-streamed event - it's going to be epic!

Fedora Linux 40 is HERE! Check out all our latest variants for desktop, server, and more.

New features include:
* @kde Plasma 6
* @gnome 46
* Fedora Atomic Desktops (rebrand for Silverblue et al)
* PyTorch / ROCm
* And more!

Learn more and try Fedora 40 today! fedoramagazine.org/announcing-…

in reply to Fedora Project (F43 is OUT)

Fedora 40 comes with a refresh of our branded laptop collaboration... introducing the Slimbook Fedora 2!

@slimbook has packed this with exciting features like:
* New black chassis
* US ANSI keyboard layout
* Intel i7 13th Gen CPU
* Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPU
* In 14" and 16" sizes

If Fedora 40 had a headlining change, it might be @kde Plasma 6. The KDE SIG have brought over all the hard work from that community to give you a solid desktop experience from day 1.

We're also pushing technology forward by making this release Wayland-only, though X11 apps will still work!

Plasma 6 is also available for our Kinoite users. :kinoite:

Give the Fedora KDE 40 spin a try today!

The story of frequent persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in multiple organs after mild Covid keeps getting stronger, and correlates (odds ratio >5) with symptoms of Long Covid

Disappointed to learn Cohost has been started by people from the fediverse. You know what the fediverse is but you learned the wrong lessons from it. Yes, I also think some servers are not operated professionally and blocks often get misused, but that is not a reason to replace a free and open system with a locked down one. I wrote on why decentralization matters back in 2018:

LOL they did that because they want to keep user lock-in via monetization an option for them. Clowns

Happy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

This is a controversial topic, but we believe we have strong evidence to suggest a critical viral role in eukaryogenesis.

#viruses #protists #eukaryotes #evolution #TreeOfLIfe #archaea

in reply to Frank Aylward

Over the last decade, strong evidence has accumulated that Asgard archaea are the closest cellular relatives of eukaryotes, but it has remained unclear why some eukaryotic genes, such as multi-subunit RNA polymerase and some DNA polymerase subunits, do not show clear affinity to archaea (i.e. they support a 3-domain tree). We propose that these 3D genes were acquired from viruses, and that eukaryotes are therefore a archaeal-virus chimera.
in reply to Frank Aylward

As bizarre as this all sounds, I believe we have strong phylogenetic evidence supporting this model. Importantly, this model has also been proposed before by Phil Bell based on first principles or eukaryotic organization and similarities between the nucleus and virus factories formed by viruses during infection

doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2022.858…

in reply to Frank Aylward

absolutely looking forward to studying the paper. Shocked me awake at 1:30 am 😀
in reply to Frank Aylward

How cool is that. Been looking for a paper I read 15 or 20 years ago proposing a viral theory of DNA origin, whereby an inserted DNA virus on an RNA genome would then replicate the whole bacterial genome as DNA, and the bacterium became dependent on that insertion from then on. Will read yours and Phil Bell’s to see if I can find a reference to it.
in reply to Albert Cardona

@albertcardona thanks! Patrick Forterre has published some similar work on how viruses led to the emergence of DNA pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/164764…

this part is so true, especially the @gnome related bits. I do see so much hate against it based on some completely outdated or wrong information. It's not even funny.
