Not explicitly

You said it “mentions … only that proton will”. Now you’re saying it doesn’t mention proton.

How do you think it does that? Through proton.

The issue is not about how games might be able to run but about what you wrote in your comment.

mentions … only that proton will be able to properly translate for them

Where is that mentioned?

There is no code in a running kernel written in Python, Perl or Ruby. Those languages are used in kernel’s source code tree in supporting tools, they aren’t kernel code.

Probably the most egregious behaviour is declaring different terms and conditions for sales and pre-orders after a person has handed over their money, particularly changing the terms around refunds. Literal Vader “pray I do not alter it any further”. And illegal. Refunds in general have been a nightmare for customers with many making a complaint to the Attorney General of California which seems to have been the only way to get money back.

Check r/purism on Reddit if you want to see lots of examples of their shady behaviour.

every instance has some users worth keeping in some conversation

That doesn’t contradict what I said.

Refraining from making the fediverse an archipelago where people refuse to talk to anyone who had the misfortune of picking the wrong instance

The fediverse cannot now be made that because the fediverse is already that.

Do they genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.

From my interactions, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re mostly seriously broken people who’ve discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.

If they weren’t so toxic, they’d be deserving of compassion and forebearance.

Thanks but I meant links to your posts :-) Or more specifically, the communities you post to with anti-regime info. I looked through your profile but I couldn’t see where you were posting such things beyond World News.

if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism

There is definitely a place for Soviet simps in the Fediverse, it’s just in a corner all by itself. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.

I post about horrors that are happening in Ukraine (not the ones that are committed by Russia, but by Zelensky’s regime with support from the west)

Any chance of a link? Just out of curiosity.

Every time we fragment the fediverse we make it overall worse.

Only if your conception of better/worse is focussed on user count rather than user quality.

Average users don’t even understand what they’re looking at when it comes to decentralized networks

Refraining from defederation won’t change that.

You tell us; you haven’t improved the basic stuff so you have the answer already in your own behaviour.

Finally!

Evangelical in that it’s documented as a theory & a paper for the concepts you can read about?

No, evangelical as in needing to tell people about it, even when they have no interest.

Have you worked in a distributed team sharing just patches over email?

No.

The Patch Theory

The way you write about this seems very evangelical.

patches, without depending patches that would cause a conflict, should commute

get stuck in their rebases/pulls

I use git every day and I don’t recall patch ordering ever being a problem.

I think it’s a little much to expect people to always qualify ‘Free as in beer’ anytime they ever use the word free in a monetary sense in a Linux community.

That seems really odd to me. I don’t expect people to qualify use of the word free in a montery sense in a Linux community, I expect people to avoid using the word free in a monetary sense entirely. And it doesn’t seem a little much, it seems blindingly obvious if one’s goal is to communicate effectively.

The two big contenders are Darcs … Darcs … has some performance issues (where some of the old perf issues are fixed, some remain)

If Darcs has performance issues, how is it better than git?

Git is not the best DVCS

What would you suggest is a better DVCS than git?
