Quoting: XpanderDon't really understand the benefits of NFT

The point of NFT is that you can sell it to someone else, when you do not want to play anymore, or when you gain a better one.

Quoting: undeadbydawnIs there any possibility of having separate section of the site for Steam Deck? Or even - deep breath time - a SteamDeck specific site

You can filter articles with specifics tags to be hidden, if it is what you are asking for.

Linux use overtakes macOS on the Stack Overflow Survey

Quoting: VardamirA real machine is indeed needed. But it would be sufficient for the most part to have one or two machines lying around for testing and fixing purposes. No need to use them as a daily driver though

Yes you are right no need for everyone to have their own dedicated Apple device as they could be shared when really needed, but it will propably lead to more Windows users in my workplace ;)

Quoting: JordanPlayz158Or you have those people set up a mac vm or you can have the company use something like... flutter I think it is, that compiles for android and iOS, not sure through what means though.

I tried a Mac vm once, but usb wasn't working (don't know if it is still the case now) so you can't test your app on a real device, and you are left with emulation and a significant loss of performance from the vm.

You can also rent a Mac in the cloud, but it is the same you can't test your app on a real device.

Flutter, Ionic, and Quasar require both Xcode to compile on iOS, you can develop and test for Android on any platform, but you will have to do some specific code for iOS (don't really know for Flutter, i don't use it, but it is probably the same as with Ionic and Quasar) and you will only learn about it once you test on the device.

In the end if you want to develop efficiently for iOS you have to use their material.

Quoting: ExpandingManThis is very surprising to me, even though of course I personally really can't understand why anyone would choose mac over linux these days. It also seems pretty ridiculous that corporate IT departments which are probably constantly being asked not to waste money waste tons of money on macs which are both much more expensive and a lot harder to maintain (at least for the IT department itself, I'm sure apple makes all sorts of promises to counteract this).

Where I work I'm seemingly the only one who uses linux, and frankly if they told me I couldn't anymore I'd probably immediately quit. Life is too short to spend 8 hours a day dealing with apple's shit.

If you need to develop and compile applications for iOS, you can only do it with Xcode which is Mac only, by doing this they force peoples to buy Mac :(

It would be nice to have UPlay ported to linux.

Open source instant replay software ReplaySorcery adds an experimental KMS service

Quoting: GuppySeems like a missed opportunity to no support ring buffer mode, so you can save the last 30s when you manage to do something cool. I for one don't usually know when that will happen ahead of time ;)

I did not tested it myself, but if you read the description on github, it seems that it is exactly what you are asking for.

Civilization VI - New Frontier Pass launches without Linux and macOS

Maybe they are delaying it because of the coronavirus.

This days Aspyre are more into console port and game edition, than into mac and linux ports.

I hope they choose to comeback to us and take the Vulkan way.
