The Hidden Cost of 'Free Software' and why you shouldn't use it

Fri, 20 Dec 2024 12:01:06 GMT

The term “free software” is one of the most confusing phrases in the tech world. In this video, we’ll explore why the name “free software” fails to effectively communicate its core message and how it creates confusion with “no-cost” software. We’ll discuss how this branding misstep has hurt the movement’s ability to gain wider acceptance and why a clearer, more strategic term would drive a greater impact . . . and my suggestion for what that term could be.

Running Linux apps on Android, Google’s working on it

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 16:00:09 GMT

For many years, people have wondered if they could run Android apps on Linux and Linux apps on Android. Well, the answer has always been kind of a mixed bag. Sure you could kind of do it but there is a lot involved at times. With the development Waydroid, getting Android apps on Linux seems like a viable thing but the other way around always seemed a bit unlikely. However, times seem to be changing as Android Authority is reporting that Google is developing official support for running Linux apps on Android devices.

EA Games has officially removed Linux support for Apex Legends, and the decision has left players outraged. In this video, we dive into why EA decided to drop Linux support and the controversy surrounding their anti-cheat technology, which they claim can't handle the open-source platform. Many Linux gamers feel betrayed by EA’s lack of commitment to supporting diverse operating systems, especially since they’d invested time and money into the game. Is EA Games really just being anti-Linux, or is there more to this story?

Rockstar’s latest update to GTA Online has just broken Steam Deck support and caused major issues for Linux users, but it’s not for the reason you might think. While Rockstar claims that Valve or BattlEye are to blame, the truth is much different. BattlEye actually works just fine on the Steam Deck via Proton, and Rockstar’s excuse is misleading at best. In this video, we dive deep into the details of this controversy, explain why Rockstar is pointing fingers, and reveal what’s really happening with Linux and Steam Deck compatibility. Are Rockstar’s claims just an excuse to avoid responsibility, or is there something else? In this video I'm going to expose the truth behind the broken compatibility and what it means for players who rely on Proton to enjoy GTA Online on their favorite devices.
