It seems like one of the most conspicuous contributors to recent Linux fixes works for a consulting firm presumably contracted by Valve, so it definitely seems like a coordinated effort in preparation for... something.

That's a pretty confusing changelog item considering async reproduction has been straight-up broken since SteamVR 2.0. That being said, I'm thrilled that Valve seems to finally be fixing some of the long-standing issues on Linux. They also recently fixed an annoying issue with the right eye mask being uninitialized, and 2.5 along with seemingly this release has fixed issues with SteamVR Home.

I mean, if that's the case then yeah, but I have a hard time believing they only use their box truck on private land.

Apparently the version of Plasma that Fedora ships has the explicit sync patches backported from 6.1.

This isn't true at all. The general legal consensus is that foreign nationals are entitled to virtually the same rights as US citizens while on US soil.

Ethics may not be fully objective, but claiming that they're fully based on emotion is a ridiculous thing to say. You can make ethical arguments based in reason. Pointing to the war and saying "see, ethics aren't real" is an incredibly naïve conclusion to draw.

This is ignoring the fact that raising a cow for consumption requires ~10 times the amount of crops per calorie compared to just eating the crops directly. Also, I don't think I've heard a single health expert recommend eating more beef - the universal understanding is that red meat consumption is generally a net negative in terms of overall health.

This has to be bait.

I miss when this style of website was more popular for software projects. There are plenty of projects with modern websites that still manage to do it well, but there's just something about the instant familiarity that comes with that type of layout.

I installed Fedora on a system for the first time a few weeks ago and had a generally positive impression of the installer, but I think it was still unable to detect the existing OS on the drive. It was fine because I was wiping it anyway, but I definitely got the impression that it's mainly designed for more simple use cases.

macOS 10.14 has been EOL for more than 2 years now and basically every Mac released since 2012 is compatible with 10.15. Valve also didn't actively flip a switch and disable functionality; they're just no longer providing updates. I don't think Valve shoulders any blame in this specific case - it's unreasonable to expect any company to indefinitely support platforms that are effectively obsolete.
