I couldn't find the specific reasoning for this change, but I feel like QEMU is probably just too holistic to be appropriate for this kind of project.

QEMU needs to be able to emulate all the ARM hardware with enough fidelity to boot a naive operating system. For the purposes of running userspace applications almost all of that is not required, you really just need to convert one ABI to the other and translate the instructions. No need to handle firmware, the MMU, interrupts, disks etc.

Yes! It used to be so hit or miss with Wine, but I played WoW in it around the same time and it was crazy that it worked (at least most of the time).

There's just no reason to do this work. Even if you ignore the fork's controversial maintainer, and just favor the fact that it's maintained at all (which is what the proposal's author is suggesting) just... Why?

X11 is basically over at this point, why throw a last minute wrench into the existing, working Xorg infrastructure?

When we dropped XFree86 back in the day there were license issues, packaging issues and a real alternative didn't exist - all justifying the effort to switch. None of these are a problem today.

Also, does anyone seriously think they'd do this without some sort of carve out for Steam to work? I can't imagine a worse idea at this time than for a desktop oriented distro to break the gaming use case that hard.

It's more of an issue with torrent seeding. You need to be able to accept incoming connections to seed, so you need a VPN/router to allow incoming traffic to a certain port to reach your torrent client.

So, not a problem for leeching, but if you are trying to meet ratio requirements, could be a big problem.

I still feel like it's idiotic to do work after you've been let go, I don't care how much your colleagues rely on you, the corporation decided you weren't worth keeping around. At least he's getting paid, but he could effectively be on a 9 month paid vacation doing literally anything else with his time.

Sports gambling is just terrible for everyone except the bloodsuckers that run it. Sports teams don't want it because it incentivizes cheating / rigging games. Personal bankruptcy and domestic abuse skyrocket when people lose money they can't afford to lose. Now the apps feed an unstable addiction literally all day long.

Thanks to the Supreme Court for pulling a bullshit ruling out of their collective asses in 2018 that makes everything worse for average Americans.

Shit, I don't even gamble and I'm just sick of their logos and ads all over every thing when I watch a game. Used to be they had "Gambling Prohibited" up around the stadium, now they may as well own the teams.

I'm pretty happy with how Lower Decks ended with us wanting more instead of getting run into the ground. It's not so much tapped out as... Done. I think SNW will be too.

Announcing Star Trek: Sisko... A limited run series about Jake running his grandfather's restaurant after achieving a small amount of literary fame.

Aww, now I'm sad Tony Todd is dead.

Pace makers keep you from dying so they're sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you're probably not around to buy another.

If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for "monitoring" your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

The prequels were redeemed? That's news to me.
