Quoting: CharlieTheMadHatterIt's sad to see Mozilla making the same bad choices. Prioritizing shareholder profits seems to come above everything else.

It's nonprofit. So, are this shareholder profits in room with you?

Mozilla Foundation, who owns the source code, is a nonprofit.

Mozilla Corporation, who makes the browser, is, well...a corporation which can make a profit. This is the entity who's worried about market share and adding AI.

And Mozilla Corporation is owned by Mozilla Foundation,. So, where are shareholders? Corporation has been established for practical reason. All profits go to Foundation. Corporation is completely under controll of foundation. So in practical sense, there is only foundation, no other shareholder trying to make profit.

Quoting: StellaThis is really cool, while there's already an implementation of Directx 1-11 in the form of WINED3D (openGL), Vulkan is just better. Try it for yourself, the installation is dead simple. In the Demo for Harry Potter 2, all the graphical glitches with the transparency were entirely gone when I switched to Vulkan rendering :wub:

Unfortunately just switching to Vulkan rendering (using Bottles) does not fix the DirectX 5 games that I have personally tried. The only way to enjoy some titles on Linux is to use a wrapper like DgVoodoo. The developer of that software is unfortunately extremely against the use of DgVoodoo on Linux even though it works just fine. I've been harassed by this individual in the comments of my YouTube videos today and a few weeks ago. Saying bizarre things along the lines like "So craptris still uses DgVoodoo huh" and disliking every new video release where I mention to use DgVoodoo on Linux in the description. Absolutely NUTS.

That's why I am now looking to get rid of DgVoodoo if possible. But it may not be possible for now. I really hope some absolute CHAD is gonna get up one day and decide to program an open source D3D 2-7 wrapper for Linux/Windows! While the current solution DgVoodoo works, it's not pretty..

Oh cool! I have GP1 for the Amiga and GP2 for PC in their original boxes.

Me too! (And GP3 as well).

GP1 on the Amiga was huge for me! The realism! The graphics! The hot-seat multiplayer! I don't know how many hours I spent with the game, but eventually it became a little boring. Even on highest difficulty, with no driving aids and the default car setup, I'd easily lap the competition in a full-length race. I guess the physics simulation wasn't that perfect then, and the low(er) FPS on PAL Amigas made it easier to control and react, too.

GP2 I also played quite a lot on the PC. Even bought a steering wheel and pedals.

GP3 I found already more difficult, and thus less fun, plus I never really got comfortable with some of the new tracks. Maybe I also never spent that much time with the game to really get proficient.

I never played GP4, but in between GP2 and GP3 I had Ubisoft's F1 Racing Simulation. Though that one seemed to copy the experience of a TV viewer more than that of an actual driver. It also didn't perform that well on my PC at the time.

Since then, I spent some time with Codemasters F1 2017 (I think the last one to get a Linux port). But without a steering wheel I never got too competent to really ace it. Plus, nowadays I don't have the spare time for full-length races and all the practice sessions and qualifying required to farm points to upgrade the car.

I looked at some of the retro-inspired games, like Formula Legends or New Star GP, but both of them lack the soothing experience of driving in circles for 70 laps, inching closer and closer to finally line up the overtake.

Long story short, shut up and take my money! Playing GP1 without having to dig out the manual for the copy protection would be a blessing.

And while we're at it, how about throwing in Geoff Crammond's Stunt Car Racer as well!? :-)

Valve's stats don't include time spent in offline mode or when you're without internet.

Making this an absolutely pointless feature for me, since ALL of my gaming is done offline with no Internet.

Switched to LibreWolf a month ago. Won't be going back. Sorry, Mozilla, the trust is gone. A new, useless CEO won't change that.

Having thought about it more, I would also add that the best way for an organization to become "more trustworthy" in the present is ironically by swearing off/minimizing AI and disclosing any contact with the technology in accessible detail.

Contemporary AI is a black box known to make ridiculous errors (there are more complex reasons to consider the technology untrustworthy, but I don't want to spend too long on this). Even if one was optimistic about the future of AI, it is presently experimental and unreliable.

Saying your company goes through the "extra effort" to do 100% human work is a way to differentiate trustworthiness.

Had I taken the earlier Replays, I would be 0% Windows since 2015. There should be a badge.

Quoting: kuhpunktWhat does that even mean.

It means you will use AI and you will like it. There is no escape. Consume!

I mean I know the Mozilla hate train is always loaded with pitchforks and ready to leave the station, but isn't that a bit disingenuous? So far Mozilla have stayed true to their first statement and AI is always optional. Should that change I will uninstall Firefox in a heartbeat but until then I'm perfectly happy with it as my default browser. I don't see AI being any different from other services like search, email etc in that I will use it if it respects my privacy.

Well no, because right now it's just words, the settings to turn it all off are hidden behind flags you have to know how to find to disable.

You're referring to the different chat bot providers that are optional and can be turned off in the settings menu? To even remotely compare this to what Google's planning with Chrome borders on FUD.

"Yeah but it's only this one thing...it's only these two things...", that doesn't change anything. It's still there, and they will be expanding on it all clearly from their plans. There's no FUD here. Not agreeing is not FUD.

As a follow up to my own comment LOL:

https://bsky.app/profile/zen-browser.app/post/3ma4y3npgjk2e

So Zen is safe (for now). So seems like we have:

librewolf
zen
waterfox

as the privacy focused - fuck you ai - alternatives.

I wonder how much it actually costs to keep a browser up-to-date. They spend more each year just on maintaining Firefox than Rockstar did on the record breaking budget of GTA V.

Leaving mine [here](https://s.team/y25/hcwfwcf?l=english). My first year with 0% windows. 46% new releases. Baldur's Gate 3 is my most played game, and I guess it will be my most played game in 2026 😆

89% linux 11% deck is my breakdown.

For me it sucks because the ASSTASTIC star wars outlaws garbage launcher would get stuck open after you exited the game, and steam would still think the game was running when it wasn't. So it logged like a billion sw outlaws hours and has that as my number 1 game even when I only played a tiny bit of it and didn't like it at all. Bleh.

My REAL number 1 played game was Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon. SOOOO GOOD. Absolutely loved it. It deserves that number 1 spot!

Please take all the time you want / need! Mechanicus 1 was SOOO good in the mid game, but the end game was pointless and boring since the battles became completely broken and basically didn't work at all. But the style, writing, general gameplay, rpg elements... SO GOOD. I just hope they focus a bit on balance for this one.

How did I not know there was a FOSS version of this game!.

Desperately hoping Servo-based (since, IIRC, Servo's browser is a "reference" implementation) browsers with an open and community-serving/supported ethos start rolling out.

"Trusted" software company is a low bar in 2025, and Mozilla is an excellent example of how low that bar is; I do not trust them in the slightest. They suck, and I am nearly as grateful for Waterfox insulating me from their latest whims as I am for Linux insulating me from Microsoft.

I remember Vivaldi's argument for not being open-source as being that they're just a Chromium skin, so someone could just "steal" all their front-end. I have absolutely no intention of using Chromium (where I can avoid it, I know many apps are Chromium-based).

As long as the "AI" remains disableable I can keep using a firejailed Firefox as my second browser, behind Pale Moon. I refuse to ever use anything Chrome-ish.

I miss the good old days!

Quoting: emphySome people, when seeing such success, wonder how they can monetise it better. Team cherry wondered how they could better thank their fans.

In fact, I think their approach is THE best way to monetize considering their circumstances.

It baffles me when I see a little indie game, that has been released for like 1 year, has maybe 500 reviews, mostly positive, and then I scroll down and see the effen thing already has like 2 pieces of DLC for it.

And any interest I had in said game vanishes immediately, in fact I often put such games in the ignore list, and this is more common then it should be.

Steam has something like 30 million users logged in at any given time, even if you take away bots, alt accounts and people who just don't buy games, and just play free to play game as service garbage, you are still left I'd say with at the very least 15-20 million potential buyers.

How moronic one has to be to believe that the answer to making more money out of their little indie game, which has sold maybe 5-10k copies at best, is to release effen DLC for it... yeah, let us milk the few people who bought our game for a few extra bucks.

No, you should try and pursue the millions of people who haven't bought it, that's where the potential lies, and you do that by making the purchase more attractive, and keeping churning out free content for it is a fantastic way to do that, plus you build a ridiculous amount of customer loyalty

I had a weird problem the other day with Steam OS. I was in the privacy settings when Steam OS suddenly crashed, displaying a persistent green screen of death.

I shut down my machine for 10 seconds, then turned it back on. The SSD wasn't being recognized. I had to shut it down and turn it back on again for it to work.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue ?

This is the very first time I've had an SSD crash like this...

You can never go wrong with a free expansion because if it disappoints, you didn't spend a dime on it to begin with.

I'm tired (of cards), boss.

Same, I hate them.
I feel like cards are more often than not a crutch in tabletop games to emulate computer game mechanics. To put that back into a computer game seems... nonsensical.

Every time someone mentions declining market share and uses that as a reason to introduce something horrible into Firefox, I (figuratively) bang my head on the wall. They have an audience – users that care about privacy, customizability and being different than Chrome. And they do everything they can to drive them away in favour of some imaginary Chrome users that can be convinced to switch over to a Chrome-copy and has the technical knowledge to make the switch. That does not make sense.

They will always be the nerd that imitates the popular jock and ends up alienating everyone.
