Epic Crap Store having one less exclusive is always good to hear about.
Remember the days when Microsoft would block ClassicShell the same way they did StartAllBack here, on Win10?
Pepperridge farm remembers :V
seen as a signal of independence from politics
Lol. Lmao even.
So people are catching up to the fact that the thing everyone loves to call "AI" is nothing more than just a phone autocorrect on steroids, as the pieces of electronics that can only execute a set of commands in order isn't going to develop a consciousness like the term implies; and the very same Crypto/NFTbros have been moved onto it so that they can have some new thing to hype as well as in the case of the latter group, can continue stealing from artists?
Good.

If you're using the proprietary drivers: Absolutely nothing will change for you.
If you're using the Nouveau/NVK drivers: Soon the OpenGL driver will be entirely replaced by Zink, which implements OpenGL over Vulkan (think DXVK, but for OpenGL); as the aforementioned driver is in a quite broken state, and nothing short of a complete rewrite can "revive" it.
Sooo... if you're already able to use NVK, you'll keep using NVK, but this time you can utilise it for OpenGL applications as well.

This is the same guy who compared Linux to moving to Canada once, had moved away from PC gaming because of "rampant piracy" only to return back to it because he wanted that sweet, sweet pie of the market Valve had ripened, built the shittiest store imaginable, that was initially literally spyware and took 3 years to get a fucking shopping cart feature, did all these shitty exclusives to keep the said store afloat, instead of you know, trying to improve it? The same guy who allowed shitty creepto games into his store only when Steam had banned them (btw does anyone remember that Epic Shit Store was supposed to be a "highly curated store")?
And this is the same company who specifically makes sure Fortnite won't run on Linux because they literally use several anti cheat software, apart from the one they're literally developing themselves, deliberately to NOT make Linux run it (such confidence on their software amirite :V)? The same company who has (hopefully had) a dumbass developer complaining about Steam Deck "not having Fortnite???" and that's "fragmenting his library???".
And there is also the matter of Rocket League, Artstation, Bandcamp, and so many other things.
Epic and Tim Sweeney are the most two-faced scumbags I've ever witnessed in my life, and it still fucking hurts me because I've loved the Unreal series so goddamn much, man.
In fact, I'm more angry at Heroic and Lutris and co. for allowing games to be installed from that store. Epic shouldn't get this amount of work done for them for free.
desktopd here we goooooooooo
This one literally runs on Quake 1 engine (albeit improved)
What AI does lands more on "tracing" side than "referencing" side though
The "you wouldn't download a car" statement is made against personal cases of piracy, which got rightfully clowned upon. It obviously doesn't work at all when you use its ridiculousness to defend big ass corporations that tries to profit from so many of the stuff they "downloaded".
Besides, it is not "theft". It is "plagiarism". And I'm glad to see that people that tries to defend these plagiarism machines that are attempted to be humanised and inflated to something they can never be, gets clowned. It warms my heart.
