  • Update: I got beamng.drive to work I haven’t tried space engineers although my guess is it will work but without audio (acording to everyone on protondb) whuch is unplayable imo so i will probably use windows for that. The problem was that I didn’t have write permissions on my secondary hard drive which is probably linked to my Windows install (I am currently dual booting with two ssd’s) so I installed beamng onto my main ssd and everything just worked!

    Not sure how to fix the write permission error I’ve tried launching dolphin with root privileges. At the moment the best solution I can think of is formatting my hdd on Windows and then that may fix it. Although it would be nice if there was a solution without formatting it.







  • Actually I’m completely new to Linux and only started using it as my main pc a few days ago. The games I’ve tried so far is: cs2 which plays natively without proton but with significant performance impacts which makes it virtually unplayable. And I’ve tried space engineers which is supposed to work but without audio (it wouldn’t launch for me) and beamng which is gold in protondb but I couldn’t get it to launch at all. Come to think of it I must be doing something wrong because so far I haven’t been able to get any game to launch when using proton.





  • I’m not entirely sure if services like robotaxi are ultimately good or bad. I think it greatly depends on how they are deployed and regulated.

    If they governments don’t force company’s to ensure they make constant improvements and innovation as well as making them cheaper then I think there could be a serious problem when non driverless vehicles are outlawed, making robotaxis the only viable way to get around in car dependant places, companies like waymo will enshitify the hell out of robotaxis making them way too expensive and just barely safer than normal cars in order to rake in the profits as much as possible. I feel like this is a concern in the US especially due to there idea of a “free market” with very little regulation.

    On the other hand if companies are forced by regulation to constantly make cars safer and not cost too much then I guess robotaxis could be improve road safety, congestion and a few other problems but by no means fix them.
