Counter point: emacs :)

No real preference actually, just not a fan of lisp. (Too (many (god (damn (brackets))))). I just find it visually very fatiguing to read.

Interesting.. although if I ever switch, it'd be to an emacs spawn that didn't use lisp as language.

Surprised we haven't seen an LLM-rewrite to <insert favourite language> rewrite of emacs yet!

Used to use moonlight/sunshine to stream to my steamdeck hooked to my TV, but switched over to just using a long HDMI cable and a wireless controller. Have everything hooked up with Home Assistant, so when I start the PC in a specific automation, it will automatically switch output to the TV and start steam in big picture (steamdeck) mode. Works fairly well. Using a normal distro (Fedora), so no dual boot shenanigans. If something goes wrong, either get out of the couch (duh!) or remote with moonlight :-)

Did you file any bug reports for them?

Let me wikipedia that for you :-) Like people mentioned already, gcc predates LLVM by quite some years, ie. Wikipedia mentions March 22, 1987 for gcc, while LLVM's initial release was 2003.

A big difference between the 2 is also the license. GCC uses the GPL while LLVM uses Apache License, hence the projects don't share code.

https://www.thenile.dev/blog/uuidv7#why-uuidv7 has some details: " UUID versions that are not time ordered, such as UUIDv4 (described in Section 5.4), have poor database-index locality. This means that new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index; thus, they require inserts to be performed at random locations. The resulting negative performance effects on the common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic. ".

Well if you think about it, in this case the license is the 30% cut on every game you purchase on steam.

How long until the AppleTV will look like your own in-home billboard? At least on the NVIDIA Shield you could just not install the update that changed the homescreen to incorporate ads (or install an alternative launcher). With the closed eco system of the AppleTV, the options are probably limited if/when Apple decides they need to extract more money from you by blastering ads all over the interface.

Denuvo anti-tamper DRM doesn't use kernel level tricks, it's all userspace and works just fine on Linux/Proton. It's the kernel level anti-cheats that don't work on Linux. And some user level anti cheats (like AntiCheat Expert) that only work on the Steam Deck as they check the CPU/GPU of the system and refuse to work if it's not the one in the Steam Deck (which also means those don't work on platforms like the ROG Ally).
