I wasn't aware that there was such an advanced compatibility layer! This is good news!

Then Solarpunk is a bad example :) And the compatibility coverage is higher than I thought. But, since it isn't close to complete, especially as you said when it comes to esports titles, which are extremely popular, it's still the honest route to mention that when recommending Linux gaming.

It might be enough to make me finally do the switch on my gaming PC, though.

The first category is still definitely under-covered by linux compatibility. If I look at the game I am currently playing, recently released, Solarpunk, I can't run it on Linux. I didn't have to look very far.

So, no, it is not only e-sports titles. It's going in the right direction, but it's still not enough for Linux to be a good recommendation for gaming over Windows.

If people want to switch to Linux for gaming, that's fantastic. But the incessant "Don't go for Windows, go for Linux" push without mentioning that you won't be able to play all the same titles does piss me off.

I'm not talking about performance, I'm talking about compatibility. Still too many games simply need Windows. Until this is no longer an issue, linux is not a viable alternative to recommend to gamers, or at least not without mentioning that a good chunk of AAA games will not be playable.

But just like any community, Lemmy users are strongly opinionated, so I was expecting the irrational downvotes :)

That's not entirely true. It's only impossible without governments working toward it.

We have plenty of tech options to develop a secure way to have a government-issued digital ID that is able to only share selected information, like your age. But that has to come from governments, not companies needing to verify your age.

The best part is that it can be private, as in: The government doesn't need to know who requested your age, and the website doesn't need to know anything else than your age and which government is confirming it.

And the tech required isn't even necessarily new or recent.

This is a court making a decision because Dassault, a jet manufacturer, argued that it was illegal to exclude jets manufacturing from green investments. The court follows the law, not their opinion.

So Dassault's lawyers found the gaps, not the court. The reasoning of the court is very likely that indeed, by the current laws, the exclusion is illegal, wether they agree with it or not.

This is not them reasoning, this is them finding gaps in the legislations so that they can keep greenwashing.

Unless there is legislation that mandates the use of sustainable fuel, with very strict legislation on what makes jet fuel sustainable, or preferably, a legislation that only allows jets built with an engine that can only accept said sustainable fuels, then there is no reason to consider jets manufacturing a green investment.

I'd also like the EU to have a backbone, but let's not play devil's advocate just because of that wish. They have actual devil's lawyers for that. The reality is that the EU is losing its green direction. And that's driven by all our national votes.

Vote green in EU parliamentary elections.

I'd like to invest in the green production of coal generators. Yes, I've made the process sustainable. It's not my fault that people burn coal in it.

Don't worry, that current will surely be used to boil water. This is a law of the universe.

At the next UN assembly. It says right there in the article.

Basically France now recognises the State of Palestine, and will make it official at the UN assembly.
