How exactly are they different?

Yes. And it could end up being sold to an entity such as blackrock and still be “privately owned”

‘Legally’ they may be the same, but they’re functionally very different

Yes that’s what I said.

Holy fucking shit Lemmy is becoming like Reddit. Can you guys learn to think please. This whole thing stated because I replied to this message

As long as it remains privately owned, it should be OK. The day shares go public, god forbid, will be the beginning of the end.

With something “that’s not true because private equity is bad and that’s still privately owned” and you all act like I said that all private ownership is identical to private equity.

This is a very plausable thing that can happen to Steam. Doesn’t Gabe not have kids?

Like what the fuck?? Am I going insane? Am I dreaming?

The profits are taken away from the trading price, yes

Although it still helps the long term price

Yeah?..

Yes that’s what I said.

The first sentence

When you choose a software vendor, do you question how the company is financed? Should that be part of your evaluation?

This article seems to be about the ethos of private equity. Legally they’re nearly identical.

Thats not true. Privately owned firms tend to be really bad because they don’t have a feduciary duty to long term value. They suck everything dry. Private equity is the reason why daycare costs so much yet the daycare workers make minimum wage.

Steam just happens to be fine under private ownership because it makes enough profit for Gabe to be satisfied.

Game distribution platform Rokky has just released the results of a study it conducted with 306 senior managers of PC game developers (all from the US or UK), and it makes for some interesting reading.

This study has a chance of being reasonable, but this article is junk. No word on methodology. I’m sure(/s) that the 306 managers aren’t skewed because they’re known by a non-steam platform.

Oh right it’s being owned to a Saudi company

What

This would be so nice if it was FOSS

Some apps store parts of the apps running state in storage some don’t.

The cognitive dissonance with saying that the current state of Android is “too risky” without giving a single example of why it supposedly is.

I have a theory: this OS doesn’t know how to swap correctly. It either loads the whole APK or kills the scope/whatever the android term is (for things that aren’t set to always run.)

I think this is because APKs are zipped files and thus the android developers decided that ZIP reads makes a ton of sequential cached file misses. So then it would have to been loaded from the storage. Back when android was made these were expensive, and slow.

So it always loads the whole renamed zip :3

No I haven’t read the logs. I’ll do that next time.

Alright thanks. I’ll test this and report back :3

Fuck if I know. Let me restart.

Edit: 1.7 for system.

Termux and Molly have battery optimizations disabled because they run critical services.

Oh also don’t keep activities is turned off.

Wouldn’t it kill the ones I’ve last opened longer ago first?

No. The phone kills them anyway and AOSP multitasking is a piece of shit that is broken more than it works properly

Nearly half of it is “system”

Background process limit is max signed 32 bit integer value because I need Termux to fucking work

Does that matter? It’s a pixel running Graphene.

Ah, yes, a feature only developers use: task manager

GrapheneOS. It keeps Termux and Molly (for MollySocket) open but nothing else.

Every day or two. Last one was probably 2 nights ago.

I don’t get it. Do payment processors want less money? Do they hate being entrenched and bringing in revenue just for existing? Do they want us to try and find alternatives to them?

I’ve been using it for five minutes and it looks better than all the other ones.

GOG has always had support for Linux.

Do you mean the waste of disk space called GOG Galaxy?

PC = personal computer

With a PC you get both

Glad to know that Nintendo admits PCs are the best way to game lol.

“Bug”

“Windows is better because it works with even several decade old programs”

So does Linux assuming its compiled statically.

Lol

Nukl byte is built into the UTF8 standard. And UTF16 expects null bytes within the string.

0 hexadecimal?

Is WhatsApp storing a char array in a string object directly?
