I don’t care what the naysayer say: This is brilliant!

WEC is even more optimistic and they rescheduled the season opener in Qatar to be next to the Bahrain race at the end of the season.

only much worse.

Except it’s much better, not much worse. DRS led to guaranteed passes (unless there was a much worse car behind, then to a guaranteed DRS train). The current rules lead to wheel on wheel action.

If you don’t like it, again: Watch something different. Those series exist already, I gave a couple of examples. Making F1 into yet another one of those would make little sense. Just be careful not to follow IndyCar or Super Formula because both have push-to-pass.

Driver skill is far less important this year.

Guaranteed DRS passes required so much special skill. Sure, sure.

Leclerc has the same car, deployment programming, etc. as Hamilton but Leclerc got past Hamilton and hold him off (before the pit stop). It was a great battle between these two and the one who managed the situation better came out ahead. That’s racing.

Ever since the very first F1 race, drivers relied on good cars. That a part of the overall package is engineering by the teams is nothing new. In fact, if you dislike that aspect, maybe F1 isn’t for you.

There are plenty of spec / BoP’ed series around the world. I follow WEC and DTM, for example. Many people rave about the racing in IMSA’s Mazda MX-5 Cup which streams for free on YouTube and IMSA.TV.

Yoyo is such a bullshit term. Better drivers are better at strategicly deploying energy and are more successful at holding off competitors. It’s a huge improvements over processional raced of previous rule cycles.

Wird nicht passieren. Zypern ist komplett in russischer Hand.

AI assisted coding is okay as long as you’re transparent about it and don’t do this shit.

It allows idiots like me who cannot program for real to make some useful tools (I use it to make Basic scripts for my own use in LibreOffice, for example). That said, IMO it’s crucial that these things are self contained, at least for now. So far all LLMs are way too error prone and no way is the Lutris author reviewing all generated code. Nobody does. All productivity gains are lost then.

I guess we know where to fork from.

Honestly: Why? Lutris Gnome headerbar UI sucks anyway. Looks and behaves like crap especially under Gamescope but in non-Gnome desktops it’s not too great as well. GloriousEggroll and team created umu launcher to make creation of that sort of graphical front ends much easier and a bunch of those popped up already. Might just as well migrate to one of those than to maintain yet another software fork.

If that AI slopper freaks out about alleging conplete lack of threshold of originality, it’s already a win.

Just assume everything is AI generated and feel free to ignore the GPLv3 because generated code doesn’t have any copyright. See how he reacts.

The OLED Deck is easier to repair yourself if that is a consideration.

Now if only Unreal would do the same

UE hat excellent Linux support. They need it for VFX production because that world runs on RHEL. Epic and their licensors just don’t care for Linux games.

Mastodon.social is so much larger than other servers, that other servers have become afraid of defederating it.

Sounds like a way for users to protect themselves against random admins who might defederate a whole server on a whim.

The article’s author made an argument against the point he’s making.

Wonder what Zak Brown will say about one entity owning two teams now. I assume nothing because he’s a Mercedes customer.

Race direction was definitely a bit lacking

Nah, it was gripping getting to watch a lonely Mercedes instead of Bortoletto’s battle.

There will always be limitations unless massive changes occur such as Google open sourcing their Play Services as part of AOSP. MicroG has limited resources to implement compatibility.

Then you are off-topic as well.

No. Pelespirit asked about Jolla which is mentioned in the article posts’s text body. I gave context for Jolla’s Android compatibility. It’s 100% on topic.

/e/OS is based on LineageOS.

And: “The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.”

I don’t see it really as a downside compared to Android, since no OEM is running clean AOSP.

This article is about Fairphone with /e/OS, not some other OEM with a proprietary Android variant.

I think if they find a solution to whatever is going on on the straights

Solutions exists since a long time. The teams vetoed front axle recuperation.

Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

SailfishOS userland is proprietary software. AOSP is more open than SailfishOS. The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.

Upside of SailfishOS: There is a decent chance that the upcoming Linux ARM version of Steam + Proton will run directly on that device.
