Flipboard.social is now running the latest Mastodon 4.3 release. @Gargron and team have taken the experience to a whole new level of usefulness, usability and control.
I especially like that journalists can now link their articles directly to their fediverse profile. As X continues to disdain journalists, Mastodon is helping to support their work.

Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare come to PC on October 29
Finally huh? They sure kept us waiting. Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar Games is now set for a PC launch on October 29.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I'm not sure I get your point?
Things suck, oh well just keep throwing your money at them?
I'm not denying it sucks, but gaming is hardly a necessity so folks should be prepared to go without their fix of Destiny 2 or Red Dead Redemption in this case until those companies start paying attention to this market. It's 2% now but it was less than 1% a couple of years ago and will grow if we force it to. And god knows, the way Microsoft is going, I think Linux can do well in the next few years.
There are plenty of other developers who support (or at least acknowledge and do not hamper) Linux gaming so give them your money instead.
@Fishd Because it's a completely different game, with a completely different situation.
Do whatever you want. People keep going on and on about it like their opinion right now matters - it doesn't. Linux / Steam Deck is a tiny market, and GTA V was in no way supported to begin with. That's my main point and the reality.
Nothing will change that until Valve convince them otherwise, or the market is bigger.
#Mastodon 4.3 is out! 🎉 We've made notifications easier to manage and improved the look and feel of the whole app across the board. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! See what you can expect once your server upgrades:

Deforestation ‘roaring back’ despite 140-country vow to end destruction
Demand for beef, soy, palm oil and nickel hindering efforts to halt demolition by 2030, global report findsDamian Carrington (The Guardian)
"The bottom line is that, globally, deforestation has gotten worse, not better, since the beginning of the decade.
We’re only six years away from a critical global deadline to end deforestation, and forests continue to be chopped down, degraded, and set ablaze at alarming rates,”
