Thanks to WINE, Proton, and Valve's hardware, a significant milestone has been achieved with 90% of Windows games running on Linux, making nine out of ten Windows games accessible on a new Linux installation.

This is why using an LTS release is important, and they provide an easy way to switch between GNU and Rust utils

You can now use OCI Containers on FreeBSD. Here is a quick introduction to Containers on FreeBSD operating systems using Podman which is a fully featured container engine that is a simple daemonless tool. Podman provides a Docker-CLI comparable command line that eases the transition from other container engines and allows the management of pods, containers and images. Give it a try FreeBSD users and developers. You no longer need Linux server or desktop for dev work. https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-free…

The website Keep Android Open is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans slideloding apps.

Anti bloat IDEs. The good old days when you didn't need an internet connection, an API key/LLM subscription to write more bloat. People still built awesome games, apps, and solved real life scientific problems.

Over the next 24 months, GitHub will be migrating its entire infrastructure to Azure. This infrastructure priority will result in delays to some feature development. This is the last step to kill the complete independence of Github and tighten up the grip on GitHub. https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-t…
