It doesn’t help that its not well named, realtime makes it sound fast.
One of the few things I remembered from my degree was the realtime programming course, because we got to program a model train set in Ada, on a 286(?), running on floppies. This was in ~2015, so ancient hardware even then, and it was slow, but it was “realtime”.
Interestingly, my compsci degree never covered O notation, so that I’ve had to pick up along the way :/
When I last looked into it, many years ago, RT definitely did negatively impact average latency. It was slower, but consistent. Has that actually changed?
At low numbers, it doesnt matter. If you exqgerate the numbers the effect is more clear.
Eg. if the latency was 100ms, it would feel your movments are behind by 100ms, which would be unplayable.
But if you had a typical latency of 10ms, with rare spikes to 1s, the spikes would be considered lag, and annoying, but most of the time its good and playable.
Realtime doesn’t necessarily mean low latency, it means consistent latency.
So if the latency from and input takes 1s, that is realtime, as long as its always 1s.
Typically for gaming you want the lowest latency possible, and at least historically, that meant not realtime.
Edit: Some examples with made up numbers:
Airbag: you want an airbag to go off EVERY time, and if that means it takes 10ms, thats usually OK. RT guarantees that your airbag will go off 10ms after a crash every time.
Games: you want your inputs handled ASAP, ideally <5ms, but if one or two happen after 100ms, you’ll likely not notice. If you enable RT, maybe all your inputs get handled after 10ms consistently, which ends up feeling sluggish.
Unless you know you need RT, you probably dont actually want it.
Redhat were very successful with the open source, but paid support model, so it could happen.
Inertia would be hard to overcome, anyone using sales force right now is probably not gonna want to risk a newcomer.
Bizarrely, I had never heard of this before, and I am Australian. So maybe it was released, but maybe quietly swept under the rug?
I dont think this is a wise stance. The internet actually forgets a lot, and unless things are explicitly and intentionally archived, stuff gets lost all the time.
Unless they decided to nuke all the arable land instead, lower upfront deaths, but the long term famine will get everyone.
Realistically, nuclear war is the end of everyone, its called MAD for a reason.
You use a console? Noob… Magnetised needle is where the real productivity is at.
Still a bit open ended. Web browser finger printing is probably going to be quite specific, unless you have a browser that avoids fingerprinting.
There is a trust issue, you need to trust the userland packagers to not build in any additional tracking, but its pretty unlikely that they’ll do that given its a tiny project.
Privacy is also multifaceted, and its never going to be as simple as “use this distro”. The techniques for online tracking are changing and evolving all the time.
This is a bit of a “how long is a piece of string” question, security is multifaceted.
From what I understand, it uses your phones kernel, so if its out of date or vulnerable, that might be a problem, and you may not be able to fix that.
Conversely, its running inside android, so the android hardening might make it more secure.
What are you specifically concerned about? Firewall? Zero days? Antimalware?

Thems fighting words, where else can I spend my centerlink on a bintang singlet?!
Maybe not anymore, but they had a few orbital rockets:
They definitely had the talent to do so, but realistically they couldn’t build one today :(

Initial version will be free, and DRM free, distributed by us and completely open. This will be so we can get feedback from modders and establish some confidence. When the project becomes more structured we will look at future options.
Consider me excited!
The studio shutdown definitely did get announced, but no formal cancellation AFAIK. Selling a cancelled game is just wrong
Too soon, I’m still sad.
I suspect KSP2 has probably killed all the goodwill earnt by KSP, I certainly won’t buy anything else until I know its a finished game.
No one seriously thinks OF is a viable career path do they? Sex work has never been a career thing, at best you get a couple years of good earning and then you get forgotten. At worst, you get a pittance and mental health issues.
Tech has worked out for lots of people, just because some are laid off every so often, doesn’t mean the rest aren’t doing really well.
You are describing pickle, but it does come with some serious risks, especially if the file can be modified by a third party.

I’d suggest using protobuf or similar instead, but its a bit more work.
I’m really happy to hear that, I still have and occasionally use my steam controller, I quite liked it.
Completed stray with it and a steamlink.
