On the hand at one point the emulation layer becomes the target. Hopefully game developers will realise this and start using native Linux technologies before they are tied to a single companies abstraction layer. Again.

The XBox was named after a Microsoft API. Definitely one of the more clever ways to force developers to eat your dogfood.

When it was created DirectX was a really useful thing for game makers. It made it easier to write hardware accelerated applications that were also consumer friendly. Contemporary Windows is full of anti-patterns. MSFT just can't seem to resist sticking things into it that make it less pleasant to use in support of MSFT's ecosystem. It's no wonder Valve invests into trying to be independent of that.

Wine is more stable as an API to target than any of the native Linux technologies.

Same with Firefox Focus on Android.

Can you list examples where the PSF has "gone too far?"


To espouse DEI already is going too far. Isn't this something they do?

Don't they favor females instead of males?

A better question is: why does Python even need the PSF staff? I am not convinced it does. The staff use donations to pay themselves salaries, to achieve what exactly that is so necessary? Do they even do any of the technical work?


> To espouse DEI already is going too far.

That's a crazy thing to say without any evidence or reasoning.

> Don't they favor females instead of males?

Doesn't most of the world favor males? Why is that not an issue in your mind?

As I understand it from reading the original post, they are leaving the third party apps default icon. They're not overiding with monochrome icons. Bad title by a probable AI rewrite, please read the original KDE blog post linked elsewhere in the thread.

This is KDE's decision on their Breeze theme. Distributions can ship the icon set with third party icons if they want.


Yeah, I indeed read it the wrong way around at first.


Steam by Valve, the gaming company.


Couldn't imagine what Mozilla would be like today if he stayed around and tried to integrate crypto. At the end of the day, main post shows Firefox engineering is keeping up with Chrome which is a feat no other browser has accomplished.


For the record I also dislike the top brass at Mozilla for the same reasons I dislike Eich - trendchasing instead of making a good browser. Firefox is succeeding because of the engineers and despite the c-suite.


> Firefox is succeeding because of the engineers

By what metric is Firefox succeeding?


We project Brave MAU (going up) will pass Firefox (going down) this October.
