Re: Steam refund news

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

LMAO what is he even asking for? Like they tweaked and fixed a hole in their refund policy and you reported that exactly as is. What more could he possibly want?

Valve makes paid 'Advanced Access' a clear feature on Steam now gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/valvโ€ฆ

#Steam #Valve

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

interesting. the advanced access page mentions that the 14-day refund window will only apply after the game's release date. and yet they count playtime in advanced access as playtime for the refund policy. maybe there's a mistake?

Atari revives Infogrames and acquires Totally Reliable Delivery Service gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/atarโ€ฆ

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I mean, if a person really needs a Windows only program that doesnโ€™t work well with Wine, then maybe Iโ€™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.


in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

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.

Steam refunds get adjusted to account for pre-release playtime gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/steaโ€ฆ

#Steam #Valve

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

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.

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:

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:

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/10.1101/20โ€ฆ

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.2022.858โ€ฆ

in reply to Frank Aylward

absolutely looking forward to studying the paper. Shocked me awake at 1:30 am ๐Ÿ˜€
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 Bellโ€™s to see if I can find a reference to it.

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