Let's boycott it until October 1st, that'll show them! /s

If their licencing agreement permits retroactive changes like this, that is reason enough to gtfo

They also removed hardware encoding. They've had the same shitty h264 1080p encoder forever, but it was better than nothing.

I was curious and looked up the origins of 'ham'. Apparently it originates from "ham-fisted" describing second-rate morse-code skills of telegraphists before radio was a thing

I believe I read somewhere that they have abandoned the desktop app on Linux. Yep:

!In September 2022, Microsoft announced that they'd be retiring their Linux Teams client in December 2022 in favour of a new “Progressive Web Application” (PWA) version of Teams.!<

Dude, steam ships with a bunch of libraries enabling cross distro support. It ain't that complicated https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md

They have more direct control over their software ecosystem though

Not the case in northern Europe by the way. I'm just as shocked when visiting countries in mid/south Europe

Zipline

The air cooler market is very competitive right now. Noctua has great customer support and quality, as always, but there are better value options.

I would pick Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, or alternatively the Peerless Assassin 120 SE

I think it was a mistake to remove hardware video encoding. Even the hw encoder for H264 1080p 30fps was better than no encoder. Apparently they think sw encoding can replace it..yeah.. the cpu is more powerful, but not that much more. I think intels N100 processors will be more competitive for applications involving video/webcam

I'd have settled for a t-shirt, but hey, cool tattoo I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Recently moved to protonmail. The setup was fairly easy, with proton copying all the mails over and setting up forwarding from gmail. I've started to gradually change accounts over. Decided to subscribe as well, even though could manage without.

Christopher Hitchens made an argument regarding the religious undertones of the conflict and why peace cannot easily be found. https://piped.video/watch?v=rc90pcx6kNU

Of course, by this point there's also hate passed on from one generation to the next.

Handy in a car i guess 🤔

E2E encrypted between facebook app #1 and facebook app #2, sure

  • Fallout 2
  • Baldurs Gate 2
  • World of Warcraft (perhaps a bit of sunk cost fallacy)

Hmm pretty heavy compared to my 4a, 143g vs 187g.

I mean, could one source the music from a streaming service or YouTube (provided that the user has a subscription)?

Should have let the decryption be fully external, and not just needing the keys

Any examples?

Not with disputed territory afaik

Yes, their first attempt used load order overrides and search patch patching. Now, it uses linux containers to ship an isolated environment. Think of it as more similar to docker (or LXC/LXD). That said, I haven't used it myself to so cannot comment on how difficult it is to use. Most people here are advocating for them permitting proton use without necessarily supporting it officially though. Which can easily be done by changing an option in EAC.

Torguard has worked well for me

ISMO has a funny bit on this subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBLGBtTZJQ0

Hold the phone, better than streaming from a local beefy desktop?

It's a fairly simple application, no?

Yeah, good point. It's not a clear-cut black and white issue after all, and currently absolutely tilted towards the lobbyists/big media

My thoughts exactly, thanks for writing this comment. The discourse in here is a bit one-sided

Plasma 6, to be released at the start of next year, will have support for HDR. Not sure about the specifics though

Good point on not pirating and promoting the alternatives. Didn't occur to me that a user pirating is one less user for competing products or free software

Gah, this is the reason I havent set up nextcloud. Cant tweak the all in one docker thing to my needs, and a manual install cant easily be updated. Too much hassle when I just want to use nextcloud memories

Alright, will consider it, thanks for the recommendation!

Same. Haven't had the need for full blown VMs at all. Passing through the iGPU for transcoding took a bit of time to figure out, but works great. I do have an Arch LXC container for some apps without a deb repository, though, to keep them updated through AUR.
