I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.
Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I’m a little annoyed at all the shit they’ve tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don’t need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let’s me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.
I don’t mind this. It’s unreasonable to expect them to provide a free service forever without any kind of monetization.
Except that Spez can’t convert those options until some time after IPO and probably only in a staggered way.
I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can’t update either?
AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.
Edit:
From the article:
Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
Works for me in Belgium. Weird.
I don’t know if shorter games should command a lower price. It depends on the value you get out of it.
Isn’t that what FedNow is?
Makes sense.
It has a global hotkey, but it’s hardcoded to the pause button (Fn+P on most keyboards that lack a pause button).
I made a similar thing a couple of years ago, but there is no UI or configurability: https://github.com/wvdschel/pause_process
What game is this? Kingdom Come?
Why is everything square!?
Wtf is with all these zombies and skeletons at night? Why is that green guy running at me? Does… does he not have arms? Are those… four legs? What is going on here?
boom
Why not? It costs nothing, appart from transforming the old format into something the current site can work with, or more likely, have the old site support tbe old format.
I'm not trying to be defeatist. I'm just advocating for unions to stop focusing on the local aspect. Transnational cooperation is what is needed in unions today.
Something which larger unions, such as the steel and car industry unions in Europe have been trying (and mostly failing) to do for almost two decades.
Companies, by and large, have used the globalized economy to sidestep local action for almost 30 years now.
Ignoring this is simply a recepy for repeating the mistakes of the past. Especially in software, where there is no physical production equipment at all, and in games, where talent and labour is plentiful.
Unless you have an organization that reaches as far as the companies you're trying to bring to the table, you will simply be outmanœuvred.
You also overestimate the level of union participation if you think they would need to lay off everyone to break a union strike.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong, but I've been through the proces twice, both involving union action, both in the software industry. Once as part of the workers delegation to the negotiating table. Dismiss a company's ruthlessness or resourcefulness at your own peril.
Local unions can only hope to hold off the axe until current projects where the required know how can not be rebuilt or transfered in time are done.
One issue is that unions have failed to globalize while industries have. CDPR could simply chose to bypass the union by opening a dev studio in a country with no or less union presence.
Given the recent wave of layoffs in the game industry, they'll have no shortage finding capable people.
Seeing the runaway succes of others like Nvidia, Apple, Mediatek, do you think any meaningful new entries are going to deviate from their playbook?
Being a good citizen with regards to transparency in firmware and Linux support is not a proven differentiator for these vendors and shown time and time again not to be a requirement for success.
I don't understand what you mean. Why does ARM hardware become obsolete after a few years? Lacking ongoing software support and no mainline Linux?
What does that have to do with the instruction set license? If you think RISC-V implementors who actually make the damn chips won't ship locked hardware that only run signed and encrypted binary blobs, you are in for a disappointing ride.
Major adopters, like WD and Nvidia didn't pick RISC-V over arm for our freedoms. They were testing the waters to see if they could stop paying the ARM tax. All the other stuff will stay the same.
You give him far too much credit. Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity.
Given how little spotify gives to artists, I can't imagine this being a cost effective way to launder your money at all.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really, really dislike voice to text input.
