Looks like it will run native ARM just fine according to the readme?

A lot of work by various companies and people who had various different motivations to work on the compatibility. With CodeWeavers and Valve support, they had a monetary incentive.
It's also been around since 1993.

The host sets up a GATT server and the other players have a client role.
The other option was setting up a game via whatever WiFi network was available, but many hotspots now restrict peer to peer access. For cross platform support, iOS doesn't allow local hotspot creation (which could have been an alternative) even thought Android does. Bluetooth was the option that all platforms could support without having to deal with third party WiFi.
Poker and Liar's Dice over Bluetooth Low Energy
I remember being able to play poker and trivia with random strangers on cross country flights on the IFE screens. For some reason, they took that away, so I decided to make some myself. The first two games are here: Poker - * iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airplane-mode-poker/id6791247916 * Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.testco.airplanemode.pokerLiar's Dice - *...

Re:GloriousEggroll's Proton has been rebased on Proton 11

Also really excited about this because there are several games that get kind of borked because they get stuck on an intro video before you get to the game menu without doing any winetricks.
> With all of that work done, I am happy to say all of the games listed above now have functional video playback with NO winetricks needed and NO dll overrides needed. No quartz,no dshow, no amstream, no lavfilters, no klite, no rsx3d, no wmp9, no wmp11, etc. -- All the functionality previously needed from those overrides is now patched directly into wine for the listed games that needed them, and the protonfixes that were previously added have now been removed since they are no longer needed.

It's interesting to read that an entire video streaming rework was done with AI, but likely won't be upstreamed because of the upstream policy on AI gen code. I wonder if that will ever be re-done using the plan GE outlined in the release notes.

Unfortunately, it's my first time using the discount code, and I didn't realize it required in-app code to enable it. There is a new build that should now have the discount. I will extend it another week.
I like the trial idea. Will see if I can get that out quickly.

Still needs a server. You could run a server locally if you had a model that your device could handle then point aide to the localhost URL.

Even if you believe the previous administration switching fonts was virtue signaling, then by the same logic you have to also believe this is just virtue signalling.

There's a reason Star Trek teleporters have a "Heisenberg compensator", we cannot record both the position and momentum of a particle precisely. Scanning the "configuration of particles" to transmit to this theoretical printer is the first impossible roadblock. The human you scan can never be the same exact person printed.

One thing that Homebrew does not do easily is to easily allow for creation of universal libraries and binaries - https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4647
Maybe that could be a place where sapphire differentiates?
