I can’t get past the train in alyx after getting the gun, I crash on the loading screen. I tried both bazzite and cachOS with the same result. Getting it to even run is always a hassle too and feels like it comes down to luck if it runs or not. Multiple components seem to fail at random either it doesn’t launch or the headset stays black, or I can’t get the game to run and stay in the cloudy sky or the room scale messes up and I’m half stuck in the floor. The whole experience is awful even though I really want to enjoy VR. I got myself a really beefy pc with a 9800x3d and a 7900xtx so I hoped not having to struggle with nvidia drivers would make things easier but I’m at a loss what to even try anymore or if its worth it.

I had a laptop where the HDMI/dvi slots ran off the CPU instead of the GPU. Maybe worth to investigate?

The thrill is dangerous, don’t let odium control you.

external monitor or internal?

Your specs aren’t too far outside of the recommended specs on the steam page, for you to only get 10-20fps. Are you sure your monitor is connected to the GPU?

I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn’t run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it’s not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.

Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.

Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can’t run it same for waydroid.

And you have data to prove that?

I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don’t think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

not sure if it has your m3u8 feature but I’m using Auxio I find it snappier than vlc and its more granular about which folder I want to grant it access to and not just demands all file access

just try some out via live boot? cachyOS seems like a solid choice if you’re into gaming

Den Wechselrichter nicht ins W-Lan einbinden, dann ist das Netzwerk auch nicht angreifbar. Halte ich generell so bei Geräten denen ich nicht traue, auch der Staubsaugroboter funktioniert ohne. Habe stattdessen eine Außensteckdose von AVM.

witchOS? 🧙‍♀️ must be whatever runs on iBroom

first time I hear about it, seems to be based on lineageOS?

What’s with the premium tiers? Seems a bit sketchy to be honest.

Agreed. Google just didn’t consent to you getting an app without ads. My hope is maybe we can circumvent it for a while with PWA or browser website bookmarks. Maybe long enough for alternatives to arrive or consumer protection to kick in. I refuse to give up hope even though I might need to abandon android. For now I guess I will just not buy another phone since androids time seems limited. Really hard to find something to recommend to family and friends that just works. My goto grapheneOS also seems more and more cut down with more and more apps refusing to work outside play store downloads or refusing to work on 3rd party OS.

any version of android that’s not vendor or downloaded from the official android website

• like https://lineageos.org/
• https://e.foundation/e-os/
• or the aforementioned GrapheneOS
• calyxos.org (paused)

Done! for the curious, original title, “Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27” new, “Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27”

Yes you’re right. I’ve worded that wrong in the title!

First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

I think it’s a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.
