I’d say most of that is just outdated opinions based on a time when archinstall wasn’t yet included in the live ISO and using it was also more frowned upon and seen as a “cheat”. Thankfully we mostly got over that second part.

Speaking of install scripts, their refusal to version them for “reasons” was my first hint that the project wasn’t in a healthy state.

And considering this is about the Dragon Quest creator, those games historically got high quality inventive translations as well with lots of different dialects for different locations.

Wait, just two weeks ago I was looking for a new GPS logging app and didn’t notice that there’s now an official (and non-official) dedicated Android app available. I’ll have to try it out.

I’ve been using Dawarich for a while now and the biggest problem was always finding a way to get a good app that can do both accurate, and battery-saving tracking.

Anyway, love the project and seeing it continually improving.

Fully agree on that. Always better to start fully fresh, even without such problems.

That said, it’s still important that it will ship pre-installed. That way app-developers who block GrapheneOS cannot excuse their actions anymore by saying that it was your decision to use another OS, and therefore not their problem.

I’m actually enjoying catppuccin as well, really nice theme.

Funnily enough, I actually do use true black as my wallpaper and only have a fixed taskbar on my second non-OLED monitor in order to prevent any amount of degradation when im just using a browser on that second monitor.

If you don’t have the OLED yet, I’d wait a bit for it. Thanks to their intense contrasts, having a true black background can quickly cause eye strains, even more so with even just light astigmatism.

It’s kinda why OLED-Themes on phones haven’t taken over either, and the effect isn’t even as pronounced there as it is on a big monitor.

Same. I always find it weird how apparently most people don’t make use of their own custom feeds and instead rely on r/all, or, even worse, let what they consume be dictated by an algorithm. And this goes far beyond Reddit. This place, YouTube, Twitter/Bluesky and pretty much any of the big platforms.

Never done this myself, but I believe gamescope should be able to do that? It should be able to run as the primary Wayland compositor and with the right flag you can expose Wayland to the client.

I wish it was only limited to support forums. I’ve even seen a Linux kernel driver where the Issues sections was closed and you should go to Discord instead. No thanks.

Even worse, those stats are also probably just a leftover from a giant spike coming from Singapore around that time:

That one eventually got cleaned up, although a lot of the spillover into other countries remains.

I did some math at the time, and it must’ve been about 1000 fake machines for every real one. And considering this was kept online for several weeks despite making news: Yes, stop using statcounter.

Oh yeah, Mint is also pretty special. It’s pretty good for non-gaming “it just works” purposes, but recommending it blind for gaming is just straight up evil: No Gnome. No KDE. Just three niche DEs that are still mostly stuck on X11. Meaning, that if you want to properly make use any recent monitor features (as in, decade old features) your only option is to switch to another distro.

It’s a surefire way to get someone to switch back to Windows.

Either that, or it’s Debian with its ancient drivers and libraries. Maybe even both.

I’m guessing it’s real, just shot with a phone that does a lot of “AI” postprocessing.

Depends. This happened at a German conference and I assume that this person is most likely German as well. Probably shouldn’t think about getting anywhere close to the US though.

There’s still the possibility of facing prosecution in Germany. Not sure how probable that is though.

Pretty good take. IMO, it’s also quite ironic that the FSF is pushing the same flawed logic that politicians do when they want to outlaw secure encryption, just for a different (noble) goal.

Em dashes, weird quote marks are always a giveaway

In a random comment or blog? Sure. In a professionally proofread document? No, adding those might as well be part of the job description. After all, the LLMs picked also have to have picked that behaviour up from somewhere.

Anyway, OP should have included the source, but it can be found pretty easily: https://bsky.app/profile/sanders.senate.gov/post/3m7izwntr322z

It’s both. Nvidia just started calling everything DLSS, no matter how accurately it matches the actual term.

Image upscaling? DLSS. Frame generation? DLSS. Ray reconstruction? DLSS. Image downscaling? Surprisingly, also DLSS.

What I don’t understand is why the person that owns the device wrote the following in their blog post:

How could a simple IP block disable a vacuum cleaner that is supposed to work offline as well? - Source

This seems like that device was sold to him as “offline” capable. Where does that claim even come from? From a cursory glance I don’t see that product advertised that way anywhere.

Now, I’d be totally in favor that such devices working offline should be the norm, but then again, the person writing the blog should know how these devices currently work.

Yup. Form factors are often overlooked. I regularly use…

• a PC,
• that same PC connected to a TV,
• a SteamDeck,
• a vertical Retro-Handheld,
• a phone,
• and even an E-Ink tablet

… for gaming and I play a wildly different set of games on each device. It’s hard to describe why exactly, but some games just feel more “correct” when played on one device over another.
