I think it is mostly "marketing" for Igalia's services. If you want to pay people to do "stuff" in Linux and adjacent projects like Mesa, Igalia seems very competent.

Ridley Scott has made several amazing movies after Blade Runner. The latest film from him that I really liked was The Last Duel.

Yeah, if we want physical media we have to buy what is produced.

There are a lot of cinemas showing The Odyssey projected from actual 70 mm film. You can probably find one pretty close to you.

"I'm someone who would happily pay up for a lie-flat more frequently if it was priced at 2-3x a regular ticket rather than 5x+. "

If you look at pictures it seems like the lie-flat seats take up roughly 6x the space of what the economy seats take up.

You will probably always need a "fork" because Asahi needs a custom installer and bootloader. It is also probably a good idea to recompile everything for the Apple ARM architecture.

"Reasons" is not a good argument for doing surgery on babies.

It is totally OK for an adult to choose to be circumcised. It is not OK to do that to babies.

Debian is an OS, not a kit to build an OS using lots of different components.

KDE is not an app, it is a fully blown DE.

Steam has a very high markup compared to its competitors like Epic Games Store.

My comment was of course from the perspective of the game developer. For PC/Windows games it has always been the case that you need the required HW to play the game in a "satisfying" performance.

A lot of RT features makes game development faster (or more efficient) so you won't be able to play the game without them.

I really liked the first Virtua Striker. It is pretty limited but can be fun in small doses even today. There is a PS3 port and of course Mame if you want to try it out!
