Gaming overall on macOS is an unfunny joke, no backwards compatibility whatsoever (good luck trying to run PowerPC or 32-bit based games... which is most of the library), no Vulkan support, proprietary Metal API is both lacking in features and optimalization, modern Apple Silicon-native ports being locked down in the Mac AppStore etc.
in reply to JaneQ

Yep, they never really cared about supporting games properly.

Whohoo I don't have stereo equipment so yay! Off the hook. I do need to get back to digging myself out of the snow though.

Classic Big Tech move: Buy a great service, ruin it, and leave users stranded. RIP Skype!

Who uses skype in 2025 ? 😅
I feel that this is somehow the Facebook of messanger(mostly Gen X and Boomers).

But it is sad indeed that the train of enshitification halts in every single service, as it seems.



You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.

Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why.

In the week since my post above I have been to the Trader Joe's here. They have no supply shortage and are back to pre-Bird Flu Pricing for the most part (within 29 cents) and no rationing. Not so for the Whole Foods from what I've been told (we are currently upholding the Boycott as best we can against Whole Foods and Amazon).

No I'm not tired of them. Because I never had to use Teams before. But while I am a happy Nextcloud maintainer (personal instance), I wish there would be a larger focus on bug fixes, ease of installation, and performance. Nextcloud is running on a Rock64 SBC for me, but I'd still expect that deleting a contact does not take 5-10 seconds in some cases

"We assess that the Presidency has been captured by Vladimir Putin. Until we see proof otherwise, assume that Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and JD Vance are proxies for Putin, Xi, and their allies. China backs Russia fully.

Russia’s strategic goal is to dismantle the United States. They will pursue this through creating internal turmoil and dysfunction, trying to destroy the dollar and by 'ending' the Federal Reserve."

Very encouraged to see so many scientific societies standing up not only for science, but also for all scientists by defending the importance of broadening participation in science and technology. Our institutions are showing us their priorities right now. These societies speaking up gives me hope.

I'm not loyal to Linux but use it because it is the best option out there. I believe this is due in no small part to revolutionary way it was developed - as a distributed development spread among a global community.Building on Unix ideas, it's taken over the world because it is a superior platform.

to answer the question; hopefully not. Skype is it's current form is a virus.
in reply to It's FOSS

I tired to like Skype as some of my friends used it and they wasn't flexible to use #MSNMessenger.

My impression was that it was slower and less comfortable than :pplmsn: It had ugly ads, and no games. Its video compression engine was told superior over :pplmsn: but I've never experienced any difference on the webcams of that decade.

I was frustrated when it killed :pplmsn: I've never seen a company that used Skype for Business after Lync (:pplmsn: 4 business) was replaced too.
