@atomicpoet Yes. I started playing games on Linux in 2010, and for the games I've tried then, I did see performance gains. I wrote how-to guides on running certain games on Linux back then.
I especially love #WorldOfWarcraft#RunesOfMagic#GuildWars (and later #GuildWars2 in 2012) because I was able to challenge some gamers to give it a try (they're not Linux users at all). They can't believe those Windows-only games run much better on #Linux.
(Most of them now knows more about Linux than me. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ Successful conversion!)
Although I've been playing games on #Linux since, I think it was 2010, it needed Valve for gamers to actually realise it is better to play on Linux. The power of a well-known gaming brand was the game changer, without them, it's probably still going to be stuck "for nerds".
Oh, and important to mention I think, their contribution to ensuring compatibility, even for games with anti-cheat third-party software. They accelerated the work by years. Before, we had to do a lot of testing and finding that sweet blend of tweaks, but today, just install and play!
Although, it appears only if the quoted #Bluesky account is also bridged like in the sample screenshot. Otherwise, it just shows up as "Re: {URI here}".
Now, as for the links, unfortunately I can't give any because they're mostly from an unsanctioned distribution. ๐ The official distribution sites are hard to find because it's in their native language (even if it's in YouTube).
I'm thinking of compiling a list instead, I'll share it once I get into it. ๐
Do you know what's cool and cute about two particular Pacific-Asian countries? They're great source for BL and GL live-action productions, with a good story.
- Thailand. Well-known, and it is mainstream. - South Korea. Plenty of hidden gems. Mostly indie but high quality productions.
Many assume that BL and GL productions are Rated-R (a.k.a. adult content), it's not true. If you're looking for wholesome BL and GL, there are many options from Thailand and Korea. Give them a try.
Hmmโฆ quote posts coming from #Bluesky#Bridgy are now showing as a quoted post in #Mastodon (software!) but I can't find how to do a quote post from the software itself. ๐

I miss the era when we didn't have to include any of the ff:
- "Comments are my own, not my employer's." - "Reshare โ endorsement." - "I only represent myself." - "only me"
In our era, people understand simple things and don't create fiction like accusing one that they acted on behalf of their employer. In many sci-fi stories, the more "advanced" a society becomes, the less they understand simple things and the more they assume incorrectly.
Intergalactic societies rely on the primitive earthlings to solve something because they are no longer capable of thinking in simple terms and their brains automatically assume this and that as the logical path or solution. Earthlings can do it because they're still primitive.
That same idea applies to within Earthling society.
For example, in one country, they cried foul and forced a fictional TV series to be cancelled because they supposedly disrespected a national and historical icon despite the show explicitly and visibly stating, "This is fictional and a work of art." South-East Asians (who they looked down and treat less than them), were baffled because, it's **fiction**!
It's the same in the social media space. You have to state the obvious. In fact, even if you state the obvious, if they want to bring you down, they will.
