I never thought I would see a year where Zenimax managed to crank out both an Arkane and a Bethesda release but still got no real traction.

They bought Bungie specifically to help them launch Live Service games, but now Bungie's own game is cratering. Understandable why they wouldn't have a ton of confidence launching a bunch of them now, but I can't really say I'm sad about it.

Wayland is just a protocol, issues need to be fixed by devs of the apps/toolkits that have still haven't migrated over unfortunately.

As you already noted Tumbleweed isn't immutable, but it is generally delightful! It's the one I've always been most comfortable with in terms of Rolling Releases

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people understand that RISC-V doesn't mean every RISC-V SoC is open. It's only the underlying architecture that's actually open.

In many cases you can, but there's never a guarantee that a given IP address will have reverse DNS records configured for resolve it into. On top of that, if it's a major site it's likely hosted behind a content delivery network that may a share a single IP address across thousands or even millions of completely unrelated servers. Cloudflare does some pretty interesting stuff with that approach: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-servers-dont-own-ips-anymore/ edit: bad at typing

This makes it so that your ISP doesn't see the actual name of the server/site you're communicating with, only the IP address. Without Encrypted Hello they're able to see both.

I don't recall them mentioning anything about efficiency or battery life improvements in the presentation, and you know they know they would've made a big deal about it if they had any progress to show :(
