Depends where you live. Just look up regional PC builders and see if they do laptops. They pretty much all sell Clevo, often unbranded or you can request they don’t brand it.

eBay might be another option. Or a laptop refurbisher. I’ve picked up several refurbished Clovos over the years that were ex workstations of some big enterprise.

Custom PC builder in a Clevo case or something is my guess. Chomsky but far easier to get better parts in them and since they’re for custom builders, they’re easy to open and upgrade etc.

What’s crazy is that while I used to know countless Maya / 3DSMax people, everyone seems to have switched to Blender. It’s crazy how fast the industry switched to Blender after that UI revamp.

We need a /c/MuseumOfLemmy to preserve this treasure in so that it may be cherished and studied by our children and our children’s children and many generations beyond.

And that’s the bottom line… ‘cause Stone Cold said so!

Mercurial is written in Python, Git in C.

Given the number of git instances, had it been implemented in Python, more CPU cycles / electricity would have been used.

Blah blah Mercurial is responsible for global warming. (I’m being sarcastic by the way - I love Mercurial).

That’s because it is. I worked at a place that did this kind of photography for businesses years back. That steak probably got 20 seconds on each side to sear, the grill marks and caramelization painted on, the juice around it some colored glue, the steam some guy’s vape; those sorts of things.

You’d never want to eat the photography subject afterwards.

Repeating old Reddit memes seems to be a bit of a faux pas around here.

That changed on June 27, 2024. You can now have dual citizenship with any other country.

Proton literally doesn’t run on macOS since Metal and no Vulkan. Proton translates to Vulkan. You’d need to reimplement everything to talk to Metal. It’s not a driver issue but an API issue.

Drivers, subsystems, kernel are all in that list of releases. That list of GitHub repos together is Darwin (the OS). The kernel is XNU (also in the list).

It’s nothing to do with walled garden - macOS/Unix and Linux are simply operating system architectures. FreeBSD also doesn’t benefit from Proton for the same reasons.

There are Linux compatibility layers for FreeBSD so you can run Proton, and macOS has CodeWeavers’ CrossOver and Game Porting Toolkit (based on CrossOver) which can run Cyberpunk on macOS today.

The only reason macOS/Unix are behind in compatibility layer efficacy is simply they don’t have Valve money and resources being thrown at them.

Since Valve joined forces with CodeWeavers to accelerate development, well, we know the results. We got Proton and the Steam Deck.

True but Linux is benefiting from a huge project to build a compatibility layer for Windows binaries to execute on Linux. macOS doesn’t have that benefit.

But neither Linux or macOS has native builds of those games.

Proton and Wine are astounding and I use them daily but they do mask over the fact that so many game developers don’t care about platforms beyond Windows.

At least macOS is partially open source and POSIX compliant vs Windows.

I thought it just allowede easier debugging, sorry

Fuuuuck. I wouldn’t eat a sandwich made by this person let alone a web browser. Forking and mucking around in a code base they clearly don’t understand. I get the feeling they’re one of those chmod -R 777 people.

NetHack takes me waaaay back. Blows my mind DevTeam are still working on it. I haven’t played in a few years. NetHack, Angband, C:DDA, etc are all games I play on long haul flights since they use the least battery and I’ve not been on a long haul since the pandemic.

That and Dwarf Fortress; learning curve is steep but they’re rogue-likes. Death is an opportunity to have a whole other adventure and learn from your mistakes and see what RNG has in store for you this time. And there’s infinitely repeatable!

Also big up for Cataclysm: DDA. One of the greatest games ever made.

Free means you can easily get any friends to dip in and play which is a big factor.
