Thanks for the laugh, that was great. Seriously though, the tendrils of Chinese money run deep and wide to extents I'm sure most people simply can't realize. To demonstrate China's influence on video games around the world:

I think you've missed the Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail craze, those two Chinese games took the global video game market by storm. I'm not going to mention the smaller hits like Arknights and Azur Lane and many more. Japane

I would take surveys with a large serving of salt. By their own admission, the American survey only concerned a selection of 3,600 by phone call, and those who refused to answer are not counted in the results. That's not going to creat

Outside of very specific niches like trade deficits, job and industry losses (moved to China), and geopolitical saber rattling, I feel the sentiment of the average man is actually very pro-China thanks to how much sheer money China pours in

Irrelevant; such a license would be purchased by the business and wrote off as a loss on the income/loss sheet. Needless to say, for a business a few or even several thousand dollars a year is practically nothing if it's critical

The irony is probably lost on you, considering FOSS evangelists scream bloody heresy at anyone daring to install non-FOSS filth upon their holy sand machines.

Been using Windows since 3.1, my dude. I know Windows like the back of my hands. You can have multiple drivers for a device installed, but Windows will usually get very confused and/or the drivers will get very confused with themselv

Windows Update can and will grab most third-party drivers for your hardware if you let it, this includes video card drivers from Intel, Nvidia, and AMD.

Here's what you said again for reference: >It _can be_ useful. It can also _not_ be useful to others. It sounds like it's not a choice in this case, but a forced feature, and that's fine for some and not for others. >So

I'm not aware of "primary" drivers if that's a thing. I know that Safe Mode always falls back to the drivers Windows has by default because that's the whole point of Safe Mode.

by Dalewyn 2y ago
Fallback drivers existed, because how else would Safe Mode drive the video card so you can see something to operate the borked computer? Also used when Windows doesn't have a specific driver yet, like immediately after a clean install.

You said "why must Linux have" a feature that can be useful to some and not useful to others. Taking that to its strongest conclusion[1], you're saying Linux shouldn't have something if it's not useful to "ever

Don't care; there is a huge push to whitewash history including most if not all of Looney Tunes for "racism". I find that nothing short of stupid and disturbing, 1984 isn't supposed to be a manual of our future and prese

This line of thought is precisely why Linux continues to falter in mainstream acceptance. Windows exists to enable the user to do whatever he wants. If the user wants to play a game or watch a video, Direct3D is there to let him do that.

I am referring to the README.md that's in the repo, which originally stated "RPG Maker&Engine for Clojure"[1]. I really don't think it's unreasonable to assume this had something to do with RPG Maker when it was

A name has to meaningfully differentiate amongst its peers, which calling an RPG making tool "RPG Maker" when it's not associated with the brand clearly does not. It is (was) marketing failure and an unnecessary legal risk if
