Removing 3rd party kernel access will probably also make cheating harder. Kernel anticheat is necessary largely in part due to cheat software using exploits in the 3rd party extension system to get kernel privileges itself and evade user mode anticheat.

Played it for a handful of hours, it's unfortunately at it's best when you're rolling the enemy team or being rolled. Matches where the teams are even easily drag out into a 1+ hour slog. I did like the feature that integrates build guides into the ui.

Image display is an important feature for me. If konsole supported it, I'd just use that. If I'm on a gnome system I'll pretty much always change the terminal because gnome terminal has a lot of issues with font rendering that I find annoying

Hopefully articles like this get more companies contributing to steamos/proton

The problem is the Gnome team doesn't give a flying rat's ass about maintaining a stable api. I've never bothered with extensions because even the most basic stuff only works for one or two versions. The neovim team is pretty committed to backwards compatibility and following standards for interoperability like LSP these days, so it's much easier for third parties to maintain a large set of extended functionality at this point. If they acted like the gnome team, your status bar plugin would break every other update.

Tbf, does anyone actually "like" C++?

Pretty crazy to reccomend Java as a secure alternative.

I don't know if I'd really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they're being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you're just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren't union. You could end up tied to whatever company you're at currently for the rest of your career, since I'd imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It's also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.

Now it'll go to some private equity vampire who will really ruin it

They can't, even suggesting they'd think of making such a move would've ruined them. No one in their right mind would do business with a company that's willing to even entertain retroactive changes to payment structure. Just an insane risk to take.

If your cloud provider decides to screw you you're gonna have to put physical infrastructure together no matter what license their software is distributed under.

I don't understand why you'd be fixing unit tests he broke during his pr. It seems like he might be bullying you? Maybe discuss with your manager.
