Because they can. The thumbnails are the first impression of a video, and if it isn't attention-grabbing, the video suffers.

Congratulations on the game! It looks great and I kinda want it. :)

I'm going to be that guy... Native Linux build when? I assume your game stack supports exporting native Linux builds. :)


Yeah, when I was an infrastructure engineer, this was definitely part of the work I was expected to do, though eventually I turned it into educating and supporting developers in understanding security technologies and leveraging them for their application development. But that's just because I wanted to do it that way.


This is not true even in those spaces anymore. Games these days require libraries like SDL, or (increasingly) use engines like Godot.

Defense is a weird place, but open source is used quite a lot there, it's often required to do so and to record the open source consumed to produce a product. And often times, it must be commercial open source where you can get engineering support for the lifetime of the product's existence.


Not at all, when talking about game consoles.


Game consoles use them too, it's just mostly permissively licensed stuff.


Sure.


This stopped a long time ago. Many older GNU projects still have them, but newer ones are not required to have them. Some have even made their usage optional.

An example of a project making it optional is GCC itself: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/236182.html


That's great news! I've always been a big supporter of the FSF and that they stopped this toxic practice it awesome!


But... Intel does coast on plenty of things and seems to remain market leader anyway?


Yep. This happened in the most recent acquisition I experienced.


It matters in an advisory sense (that is, other courts may use it to gain understanding), but not in a legally binding sense.


In practice, precedence has about the same legal power in both common law and civil law jurisdictions.

That is civil law courts tend to go with the precedent most of the time on the one hand. And on the other hand, a common law judge can always do a bit of nitpicking to argue why the case before her is special and thus different enough from the precedent (or she can pick from multiple different precedents, and then come up with a justification for why the one she picked matches the case before her the most).


> a common law judge can always do a bit of nitpicking

This makes sense. Precedents ruled by mistake/etc. should not set the law.


Well, that's why you have appeals and higher courts can overrule the precedence of the lower courts.


Some, but not all, precedents are absolutely legally binding in the French system, they have the same force as the law (unless a later law contradicts them).


Unprivileged FUSE has been a thing for a while now: https://zameermanji.com/blog/2022/8/5/using-fuse-without-roo...


Fullscreen HDR support is coming with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland (which should be available with Fedora Linux 40 and other distributions depending on their timelines).

Nightlies are available to try out now: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html


Sadly we will still have to wait for application. Firefox doesn't have HDR support even on Windows right now.
