The only ads I saw suggested it was PS5 exclusive lmao. amazing job Sony
no.
Linux is a learning curve for anyone who tries it, but for the most part it is in a golden era of software compatibility, user-friendliness, and general user-experience. I’ve not had to return to windows for years, and even just being exposed to the Linux software ecosystem helps you de-monopolise the lives of you and your friends from Microsoft and Google thanks to many Linux apps being compatible with Windows.
True, though for most game/graphics developers you’re never interfacing directly with the graphics API, you’ll let your chosen engine/library do the heavy lifting.
It does have the downsides of increasing the barrier to entry for custom/bespoke engines but those edge cases seem to be covered well by DXVK.
They’re not going to take out the internet lol. At least if you’re not in Ukraine that is.
This is the limitation with policy made by people who just think “science” is when you quote an opinion with an article in a journal.
Decades of climate denialism, anti-veganism, and “race science” is perfectly acceptable under these rules because you could simply post studies funded by Exxon, meat and dairy lobbyists, and right-wing think-tanks which support their conclusion.
“Science should prevail” nerds could do well to consider that perhaps we have other means of identifying malicious behaviour. Any kind of checkbook exercise or algorithm that can pluck truth out of the air won’t work; the scientific method was never intended to declare X or Y as permanent facts the way we use it online.
Lmao all this over meat eaters getting mad at vegan cat food? I’m genuinely impressed that redditors are managing to turn Lemmy into a caricature of the godawful website they left.

China at a geopolitical level is very interested in RISCV, namely because it has a long term promise of independence from a technology controlled by US-aligned companies.
Ever since the increasing US embargoes on Chinese GPU imports and other semiconductor tech, there’s been a quiet -but-global search for potential technologies that aren’t subject to volatile international relations.
If you’re trying to build an indigenous tech industry right now your choices are:
- X86 - impossible to license and expensive if you can. At the mercy of Intel/AMD and the geopolitics of the US.
- ARM - expensive (less than x86) to license. At the mercy of ARM holdings and the geopolitics of the UK.
- DIY arch - Free to license, but requires way more work to maintain a software ecosystem without guarantees that you’ll even compete.
- RISCV - Free to license, and has some existing proof of performance and software availability. You also get the benefits of improvements to the ISA and software support compared to DIY ISAs.
Of course we’ve seen a bunch of all 4 in some ways over the recent years. China has done pretty much all 4 in some respects but their RISCV work is developing at an impressive pace right now.
For comparison, the same GPU supposedly hits about 60fps with an i7 4700k with the next gen update (according to TH comments which could be bollocks of course.
