  • how worked up am I supposed to get about executive payouts

    I think this is the wrong mentality looking at it. Regardless of payout (which I do agree should be going to employees as well which according to most sources do seem to agree that at least some will be going to the employees as well), imagine the precedent this would imply:

    Larger companies being allowed to “agree” to terms as part of an acquisition, and then once they have control over it just decide “yea you know what I don’t need to pay this” and then not doing so. That was my main issue regarding this. The concept of a company agreeing to terms in order to acquire a company. Then deciding after the fact that since they regretted their decision that they just shouldn’t need to uphold their end of the legally binding deal put a massive sour taste in my mouth.

    Honestly I would have been just as satisfied with a ruling stating that unknown world’s acquisition was invalid due to the EPA breakage and therefore is now its own independent studio again, but has to refund the 500m (minus whatever amount the court decides to use as compensation/retribution that Krafton had paid for the acquisition, and completely throw the 250m bonus out the window.








  • BTRFS doesn’t do case folding, meaning that it’s case sensitive by default. Proton uses win32 style file handling, which is case insensitive, that allows for file duplicates to be saved without it actually being detected by the native handler and also slows the entire file process down when there are a large amount of files. the steamdeck gets around that by forcing case folding on it’s storage but btrfs doesn’t support that.

    It will work with most games OOB(with a light performance hit), but in the case of modding a game linux side, a developer miscodinga part on the linux side, either on the proton part or otherwise, or even just doing normal file operations outside of the wine environment, you can cause duplicate files that aren’t going to be seen as duplicates in the WINE layer which can cause conflicts and weird oddities. Some examples of this can be windows based mods on the steam workshop, as the steam client will interact with the manager as if its a linux client, meaning case sentitive, but when you launch the game it becomes case insensitive. if the mod isn’t developed with this in mind, it can save as different casing as it loads, which will error when you try to actually interact with it.

    they have a github issue open for it still, but its been open for awhile now.

    I was gonna go btrfs myself but I read somewhere that it didn’t support something with proton and it scared me out of it. I sadly have since then forgot what it was it didn’t support so now I am worried it won’t work right if I swap \0/

    edit: I found it, btrfs doesn’t support case folding which is recommended by the steamdeck and proton to ensure case insentitivity. So I am waiting for it to have that.





  • I mean, I know a lot of people don’t like doing it anymore but calling and asking has a fairly decent chance of working if online gives no details.

    Personally I’m unsure how a bank could even force NFC to go through a specific provider, mine has always just issued virtual card numbers whenever I enrolled, And if the bank itself didn’t support the provider automatically, I always called the bank to manually approve getting the virtual number. it’s a little confusing to me that your bank even blocks the ability to in the first place. I would have thought you would have been able to use any mobile wallet that works on Graphene OS. Being said those are limited last I knew

    edit: rereading it. I see what you mean. You mean through your bank’s app as a native solution. Yeah, you’re just gonna have to call the banks for that one. I would assume that customer service would definitely know whether or not it’s through Google Pay or through their own system.
