I couldn’t care less about this. I made the complete switch to Linux a few days ago. Microslop butchered the Xbox brand so bad that I don’t even want to play their games nor pay for their shitty pass anymore

    Yeah I find GPL to be ironically non-free because it removes the right for anybody to use the code as they see fit, basically adding a restriction on the developer.

    I find it absurd when people force me to use GPL for my research work and they aren't even in the field to know that adding restrictions on something thats good for the scientific benefit is foolish. RMS isn't funding research or building any kind of quantum computer, it's the big corporations that do that. This is just involving politics in science.

    Forcing GPL for research is foolish because nobody would be interested in implementing your work. After all, it's those big corporations that have enough funding to take up on bigger ideas and research.

    GPL is fine for basic software for consumers and I'd argue it should be used more but for research, its just a bad license.

    I’m active in circles associated with FSF and I often hear them saying research or academic software or programs must be licensed under GPL to prevent the work from being used in proprietary software.

    But as a researcher I think that’s just involving politics in scientific work. I like BSD or MIT for research because it gives more flexibility for the users to use my work in anyway they see fit.

    I think restricting my research work removes the point of it if it can’t be used freely by any person for any kind of work.

    What do you people think?

    C is a general purpose programming language. People also use it for high level software in certain parts of the software world, not just low level.

    I just have a few more features left that I want to implement and that’ll conclude the development of the core package manager but rest depends on bringing packages into the repository

    A MacBook costs $1000 in my country for the base model and iPad costs $300 for the base A16 model. For someone who does only digital art , graphic design or watching conten, a $300 iPad is more than enough.

    A touchscreen MacBook would bump the base price of it to more than $1300

    Gears 4 felt more like a filler game where a lot of things get introduced but nothing gets carried forward into the rest of the game. The game felt like it was designed exclusively to set up the narrative for Gears 5.

    I'm 1 hour into Gears 5 and I felt that the narrative within the first one hour of the game felt a lot better. Gears 4 felt like you were the only living beings out there but gears 5 feels less lonely.

    I don't know how the rest of the game is but this is my first impression.

    Multiplayer wise gears 5 is amazing. I have 10 hours in MP and Horde so far and I love the horde mode. MP is a sweatfest like its always been in gears.

     

    I'm eyeing on getting a 64gb base model since thats the only one available in my nearest store. Valve doesnt sell decks in my country so scalpers are the only way.

    64gb is the most affordable option for me. I plan to get a 512gb sd card and play some casual cod zombies, deep rock galactic, fallout 76 etc.

    Is it enough or will the SD card bottleneck it? There's no 256gb or 512gb model unless I take the risk of getting scammed.
