I've found tuxedo to be quite expensive compared to their competition, namely Slimbook. Definitely look at their website, you will likely find the same computer over there as well since they are not custom designed laptops

I think it's fine because the recording is not saved unless you explicitly tell it to save. If it's anything like Nvidia's shadow play, you set an amount of time, say 5 minutes that it keeps in memory, and when you save the clip, it simply saves that file containing the last 5 minutes.

Oh, I hear there are some pretty major issues with Firefox and explicit sync on Wayland. Does anyone know if fedora will have patches to make sure everything works fine when it releases to rpmfusion? If not then I might wait a bit...

You can't just make a statement like this without giving a hint of evidence or justification

I have seen reports of Firefox crashing under Wayland and that the way to make it work was to disable Wayland in Firefox or iirc to add a kernel parameter. Maybe it was fixed in Firefox too, but I saw some people saying the flatpak was somehow now affected (?)

This is an Xwayland and Electron issue, not a Discord or Gnome or a Display issue. This is because Electron under Xwayland (and also somewhat under Wayland) doesn't behave well with fractional scaling. If you want a true comparison, try opening Discord on Firefox with Wayland. It will be night and day in terms of sharpness compared to regular DPI displays

Say what you want about pornhub and how they're bad (and you'd likely be right), but I have to say, their public statistics are always super interesting (and well presented as well)

Now apply the DMA to Microsoft and Windows so they stop changing the default to Edge every 2 days

That's exactly what dell wants, it's a way to do layoffs without the bad PR and without having to pay the benefits (or whatever they are called). They know full well a good chunk of people working at home don't want to go back to the office and will hunt for another job instead.

Wowzer, ok, that's seriously impressive though, like in 2022 I feel we were stuck at 2-2.5% and in 2023 we passed 3% for the first time and now we're at almost 4????? That's like DOUBLING the market share in a year

discord tries to be a good company challenge (impossible) (deleted in 24h)

ISIS literally claimed it. ISIS are not friends with the US. Are you slow?

According to the comments here, innovation should not happen because we already have something. It seems everything needs to be a Windows clone with extra settings and worse UI for it to be considered here. Nothing clean or new that could genuinely help the Linux desktop adoption in the mainstream. The FOSS Gatekeeping continues as always.

I think it is kind of sad that so many people are opposed to such innovations as this is truly what we need as an OS if we want it to be mainstream: differentiating features and a distinct experience. Not a clone that makes people think "oh it looks and behaves mostly like Windows, so it must work just like it!" and then run into a brick wall. I think the main reason people who switch to MacOS succeed and stay and even love it is because 1. MacOS is really easy to learn and 2. People go in not expecting to be like Windows, instead they expect to have to learn a whole new workflow.

If Linux could have such an experience I really think it could help sell the idea of Linux as a separate OS experience/product rather than something that looks and feels like a slightly worse Windows with no telemetry and no forced updates.

Is there a uBlock filter list for AI SEO websites? If not then I guess I should make one, it would make my life so much easier especially when looking for a product

Reposting my other comment from another thread:

How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week.. like... I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won't go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.

These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn't run on your computers is out of your control.

Which raises the point, why don't they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

having contributors sign a CLA is always very sus and I think this is indicative of the project owners having some plans of monetizing it even though it is currently under AGPLv3. Their core values of no dark patterns and whatnot seem like a sales argument rather than an actual motivation/principle, especially when you see that they are a bootstrapped startup.

What's that app again, another twitter replacement that will last 2 weeks ? Isn't mastodon enough?

People like this are the worst. They'll say the most terrible thing ever said, then keep arguing for 20 minutes then when they are getting tired they just say they were joking and trolling and all that....

Maybe Kaspersky is Russia backed and is filled with backdoors. Idk, and I don't care because I don't use their products. But I do know they have great security experts and when they publish analysis like thesez they are generally very complete and informative, like when they discovered the remote hack on iPhones thing: https://securelist.com/operation-triangulation-catching-wild-triangle/110916/

Quit your bullshit, nothing was ever forced on you. This is Linux, free software and all that, if you're not happy then use a systemd-less distro and stop complaining about meaningless points. SystemD works very well for me (and the vast majority of the Linux community) and is very easy to use and understand

You're not the only one, people especially in niche spheres like Linux are very nostalgic of a certain era in computing and refuse to accept that change happens. For example there are people who absolutely hate apps with the slightest bit of white space even though that was proven time and time again to be more accessible and readable

If only all the efforts of making a better xmpp went to matrix or... to 'fixing' xmpp, the world would be a better place

I kind of wanted the inevitable fork to be called Zuzu

So basically, they want to raise the prices when it's convenient for them and the prices will also conveniently never go under what it is listed for today even if the demand is low

I saw Wendy's doing this last month. That's fine honestly they can do whatever I don't care, a fast food restaurant will always be a want rather than a need. Grocery is almost always a need, that's not ok

I think it's pretty obvious the child is not the one who is going to be in charge of taking care of the pet and that the decision to give the pet was made by the family to stay in the family (or at least by the dad seeing the age of the photo lol).

The year of the linux desktop is coming for real this time...!

I can see multiple reasons:

  • trip hasard
  • could break the cord or the device if it gets yanked
  • less convenient, slower
  • it would tangle/twist the cable

Fragmentation will be a huge problem if we want Lemmy and Kbin to succeed. We can't have 45000 technology communities with 45000 duplicate posts with 45000 different discussions under these posts. We need a way to unify all this in the clients and that, to me, seems like a pretty big issue as you can't just get all the posts and merge them without ddosing all the Lemmy instances or without other unwanted side effects

I got a 128GB dual connector usb-c/usb-a drive, and installed ventoy on it. I have my normal files and for my ISOs I simply put them in the ventoy folder. It works really well.

I think its more about the power efficiency. Samsung's exynos line as well as their few latest samsung foundry nodes are not known for being very power efficient, so I think people were holding for the Pixel 9 with a custom TSMC manufactured chip in hopes of it consuming less power and outputting less heat

Idk if it's meant as a reference to that but they had an ad campaign once where the customer brought in a 100 years old tractor and the mechanics could fix it for him
