Well, it makes sense. Canada still has a significant English-speaking majority. Even if Québec in isolation has a French-speaking majority, there's a very large incentive for French-speaking citizens to learn English because their prov

It is true that the proprietary player was discontinued years ago, but it is still usable, even on Linux. I installed it through the AUR package on Arch Linux, but it can also be installed on any distribution through the Flatpak package. Fr

I think most Wine users are on Linux. If I remember correctly, Wine was actually mostly broken on macOS until Wine 9.0 last year, because it required 32bit support, which macOS got rid of in 2019. Plus, BSD usage is very far behind Linux.

Isn't the global average supposed to be exactly 100 by definition, or did I misunderstand how IQ works?

He wouldn't be. AetherSX2 is based on LGPL-era PCSX2 code and license changes don't apply retroactively like that (otherwise, imagine if SDL changed its license to GPL and instantly forced half of PC games to go open source). It w

The popular narrative seems to be that Yuzu had something to do and/or profited in some way from the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom leak, which isn't true. The Patreon-only Early Access builds could not play the game any more than the

I don't think the built-in tiling in Plasma was ever meant to go mucher deeper than what's in Windows. You're still gonna need to use extensions if you want full tiling, I think. There are two KWin scripts that can be used to

This is not really true. The about:config flag you mentioned does add a button in the Settings page allowing the addition of custom search engines, but that's only because the intended method for adding search engines is different. The

Only in some countries. It isn't taught in Canadian public schools, or at least not in my province (Québec). Education in Canada is mostly provincial, so it's possible other provinces have swimming lessons. I doubt it, though.

In that case, could you clarify what instances of this you're referring to? The death of Citra wasn't really a deliberate action on the part of Nintendo, it was collateral damage. Citra was started by Yuzu developers and as part o

Permissively licensed software is still free software. The BSD licenses are approved by the FSF as free software licenses. They're simply not copyleft.

Well, they could build their UI using an existing toolkit, like GTK or Qt. Though, when I previously tested Ladybird it seemed to be using GTK and the current AUR package lists Qt as a dependency, so it seems they're already doing that

Pretty incomplete. This seems to be missing a lot of my favourites, including Open Hexagon, Minetest, TheXTech, SuperTuxKart, StepMania and osu!. Libregamewiki has a more comprehensive list: https://libregamewiki.org/List_of
