Here is how they calculated the number without having access to Valve's content servers:
Some activist jews made a number of steam accounts, they added "jewish objectionable" content, told the ADL who made a scene and immediately made an extrapolation to come with the 1.8 million, but in reality they wanted to come with a 6 million figure.

@MK2boogaloo @teto @BrodieOnLinux @HonkHonkBoom The idea of Wayland is not to replace X11, it runs alongside it.
-
@teto @BrodieOnLinux @HonkHonkBoom There is no specific reason but a multitude of, taking advantage of new tech without having to re-do a house of cards (X.org/X11) each time is one of them, security (often misunderstood) is another, X11's design is really old and weak on some aspects due to its heritage.
-
@teto @BrodieOnLinux Wayland doesn't break things, its problems arise mainly due to unimplemented functionality or bugs in the compositor implementation of the existing functionality.
Wayland (protocol) is often confused with X.org (X11 Display server).
X11 = Protocol (Language: IE: English)
Wayland = Protocol (Language: IE French)
X.org = X11 Display server implementation (A person speaking English)
labwc, wayfire, hyprland, sway, mutter, kwin = Wayland compositors (Persons speaking French)
The issues in "Wayland" are due to bugs in the compositor/s and or due lack of functionality in the "wayland" protocol or the compositor/s.

@teto @BrodieOnLinux You're preaching to the convert, I'm X11 through and through.
I do not oppose wayland... once is ready, ATM is a fucking mess not worth of any serious consideration for anything serious save for very specific environments such as kiosks or embedded devices.

@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs This is a pointless discussion, a regular user would be using a friendlier distro like Ubuntu or Mint or Pop_OS! and use whatever software packages the distro provides, exactly like on Windows or MacOS, a regular user will never deploy his OS from scratch in a command line terminal building something like X or the DE from source and then write the configuration himself.
-
@charlie_root @dcc @Suiseiseki @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Used to think like that, until you haven't been in the situation where rebuilding a package/app can save your ass.
I'm not implying compiling shit is right for everybody (Again go use Windows if it works better for you, nothing wrong with that) I'm saying it is a useful thing to have, and whether you like it or not building an app is part of the Unix-like/based/inspired OSes. You are free to dislike it.

@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Now you are going to tell me the USB bus is bound to the refresh rate. :facepalm:
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs Most people care about the most is input latency, the fact that removing vsync on Windows improves input latency is anecdotal.
I was as surprised as you.
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler @gvs > I'm curious where you got the proof that it was (and is) faster then those or Wayland.
Ask any FPS gamer, they will tell you wayland has much lower noticeable input latency.
-
@dcc @charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler What you call an OS is a combination of programs, and last time I checked there aren't many alternatives with as many programs and hardware support as Linux.
I'm open to suggestions.
-
@charlie_root @dcc @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler I used to get upset a lot with changes to some components and procedures, until I started to read the rationale behind some of these changes.
Generally most of these wheel reinvention efforts are for good reasons (except Gnome, they are the spawn of satan)
What is a problem is that sometimes the implementation (*waylan... cough cough) is garbage or wasn't thought properly when it comes to real world implementation and usage.
Some times the implementation is close to being flawless (IE: pipewire replacing pulseaudio) or they have a weird start and turn out great NetworkManager.

@charlie_root @Goalkeeper @Volkish_Observer @tyler Using Linux exclusively since 2011, it works, it is stable and you can produce any stuff with it if you are willing to learn how to.
You need to get into the mindset that you'll have to learn to fix Linux issues, and stop thinking Linux is a 1:1 replacement for Windows. It is its own thing. You're accustomed to fix Windows problems so you do not consider them problems anymore. Same goes for everything.
Adjust your expectations, learn what components give you the functionality you want (IE: need smb support on my file browser I need to install GVFS, etc.) And more importantly, learn the fact that not all hardware is Linux compatible, if a $5 WIFI adaptor is not supported by the standard kernel drivers, put it in the bin and buy one that does. Same goes for everything else. You might think that is bad or retarded and that it costs money, but that is how the world works, you do not complain when you find software in a Mac that only works with Apple hardware and vice-versa don't you?
Learn to backup your system when it works (Trivial on Linux) and it is dead easy to recover from any situation, Linux can always be repaired. I haven't reinstalled a single machine at least since 2019, I just keep restoring the latest backup when I change hardware.
And more importantly you need to accept its limitations, when you replace Windows you aren't replacing Windows alone, you're replacing an entire ecosystem.

@gentoobro @John_Darksoul @LordMordred @WashedOutGundamPilot @professionalbigot69 >> Their first major strategic blunder was giving back their nukes
That wasn't a problem, in fact was a relief for everybody, as you say the country is corrupt to the core and they would have been A) unable to maintain the arsenal, and B) they would have sold nukes and nuke tech to the entire world.
The Russians had no problem with Ukraine, they had a problem with encroaching NATO advance and the west CIA meddling on Russian turf.
The lack of nukes are a problem now when Ukraine's government and war is State Department/CIA run. One has to be very naive to believe anybody in the west gives a damn about Ukraine's independence beyond "muh democracy, muh rotchild central bank sponsoring anal sex rights for minors".
>> I honestly don't believe there are many fanatics running things over there or with their allies. They are thieves pretending to be fanatics, which is much worse.
Trust me they have true believers there, it goes back to many centuries, you get these people almost everywhere in Europe, it is a phenomenon similar to the Evangelicals in FUSA.

@gentoobro @John_Darksoul @LordMordred @WashedOutGundamPilot @professionalbigot69 >> That's 50 to 70 km, or 30 to 50 miles.
Yeah, you are right it is Km and not Miles, I'm brain dead, my head defaults to miles for distance.
>> because they have mountains of "free" cannons and shells laying around from the Soviet buildup, and this is one of the last wars where it will be usable, either due to age or obsolescence.
The Russians still understand war.
They can still manufacture anything from the 50s onwards that makes contemporary sense, not so much in the west where we like to obsolesce things for the sake of selling some other over-engineered thing that might be or not be fit for purpose. The military like any other aspect of western culture has been financialised to talmudic levels of structural incompetence.
Russian engineering philosophy is of absolute common sense first to serve the war effort, rather than "what can improve the bottom line of the MIC" which is nothing but a DEI infested jobs program nowadays.
What they did making FABs seni-guided bombs that can fly giving them wings is short of fantastic. Transforming fleets of obsolete fighter planes into mobile flying missile batteries; again pure common sense.
The first military blunder of the Ukrainians was to let fanatics (on both sides UK/USA & Ukrainian) make strategic decisions, up to this day they claim to run out of ammunition yet they can always spare some to keep firing at civilian populations in the Donbas because they got this genius idea that attacking the civilian populations would somehow weaken their support for Putin and bring regime change, as if Russia is Putin's alone.

@gentoobro @LordMordred @John_Darksoul @WashedOutGundamPilot @professionalbigot69 While the drone thing is important, don't get too obfuscated with it what is winning the war in the Ukraine is well trained and equipped men and artillery. You see plenty of drone footage because the Ukrainians do not have much else to show and they love their propaganda shots, in the end drones cause limited amount of damage. Don't get me wrong they are dangerous, but not the main danger themselves.
Where the drones are exceedingly dangerous is not as an anti-tank or anti-personnel but as part of a surveillance and tracking toolset, drones are used to track targets in a radius of 25-30 miles and the tracking is being used to fire heavy artillery guns that are 50 and 75 miles away from the target. And if that isn't bad enough the Russians are firing missiles from air-planes beyond the horizon 200, 300 and even 500 miles away that is nuts and they are perfecting it almost to an art.
I'll see if I can find a video about it, I've seen many but were not easily downloadable.
