Dot com 2.0 wooooo

Not to piss in your cheerios, but I like this new design.

The logo is kind of mid but it integrates with modern themes better than before (I will miss the old logo).

It’s an absolute blessing that they picked Qt instead of GTK and I want to see more of this.

If I had my way, everyone’s drives and ram and whatever would be encrypted from top to bottom with extremely strong keys that only the user had access to. Nobody needs to have access to your stuff except you, and it doesnt matter if you are the most law-abiding citizen in the world who does nothing but eat bread and read the news paper every day, your privacy is sanctamount (whether you agree with this or not). Medical records, bank statements, tax records, private journals, etc. are just a few examples of data that mundane people with “nothing to hide” deserve to have protected to the nines.

It’s literally a steam deck without the screen and a slightly higher build quality. If you’ve used a steam deck, you know what the steam controller is already.

If you DON’T have or have never used a steam deck:
firstly, my condolences,
secondly: it is the literal solution to PC couch gaming when paired with Steam Input.
The joysticks are very accurate and glide like butter. Their unusual position is very ergonomically friendly too.
The back buttons are extremely useful, especially when you can bind them to keyboard and mouse inputs and not just controller inputs.
The trackpads are the crown jewels and are extremely versatile.
Gyro aim is such a powerful creature comfort, along with the ability to have it toggle on and off when you stop touching the grip or top of the joystick.

I really wish Valve had the capacity to mass produce these and sell them in brick and mortar stores because they are everything ive ever wanted in a gamepad.

There is with tools like magisk and some others that have popped up.

Develop a root method for your phone, gain sudo access, and remove it via command line

How do you feel about the color profiles on HDR, and the cursor/stylus sync, or any of the other changes they listed in this one as far as art goes?

This is a massive drop for artists isn’t it?

Ive been riding SystemD for its faults since the beginning. The age verification was just one more on the pile.

SystemD itself was fine. Not great but better than what we had and I was happy with what it did.

But then it started to sprawl and take over things it had no business doing.

At this point I am no longer using the Linux kernel, I’m using the SystemD kernel, and as soon as Poettering feels like it he can simply sell the rights to SystemD to a big corpo like Microsoft once everything fully depends on it.

Using creatures to battle for you (Shin Megami Tensei), riding on creatures, etc.

The only one they mildly have a claim on is catching the creatures in magic balls, which is predated thousands of years by superstitious beliefs that you could trap evil spirits inside of crystals and other various rituals humans came up with.

Why would Nintendo get anything? They were suing based on mechanics they stole from other games to make Pokemon

The answer is and should always be “never” if the possibility of using FOSS is available either currently or by hard work to bring it into existence - however, there are cases where some software is not available in any other capacity and offers a service that is otherwise locked down. So we deal with the necessary evils where we must until we no longer have to.

None of this would be bad if the devs also didn’t think that they should be the default Linux desktop. It’s one thing having a constrictive desktop environment that forces you into its way of doing things. I can see that actually being useful in a corporate setting. But to borderline-force that on everyone by way of defaultism, especially those who don’t know better, is where it crosses a line.

To be clear, I am not arguing in favor of what I suggested. I am vehemently against it. But I have worked with the technology enough in a professional setting to know what it is capable of and how it can (and I have) used it. I am afraid of what I am seeing as a possible (probable?) future.

Thats not even what’s happening. If what theyre saying is true, Valve is dictating prices on Steam based on third-party stores (they are very related if they are competitors and selling the same products.)

Don’t spin the narrative.

What doesn’t make sense is that these companies want to force Valve to be a free advertising and leads service for them, and force them to help funnel their own customers away by using anti-consumer practices (the third party company being the one using anti competitive practices).

I’ve seen some law nerds explain it recently as:

De-jure monopoly=the one we all think of (the bad one). This comes about through dirty tactics, anti-consumer practices, and backstabbing.

De-facto monopoly=the one Valve is (and not illegal). This comes about naturally as customers independently choose one company over all others for nothing other than they like them better.

Librewolf is pretty legit.

If an AI can tell what’s in a picture (which is a series of pixel data), it can certainly reconstruct gcode into an “image.” Ive used it at work for similar tasks.

Cylinders obviously are too generic, but there are parts that are a lot more specific and could be fingerprinted.
