And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?

You’ll not have to download anything then, AMD drivers are baked in. You’ll literally be able to boot your OS for the first time, install a game and it’ll get full performance off the bat

Waiting for the army of MS shills coming to tell you that they can’t possibly use Linux because of the myriad high end professional-grade software they use which means absolutely no one could ever go near Linux either. Because that’s really important when it comes to getting more life out of your shitty 2gb Atom netbook

If you just install Linux on your Mac and have a dark Qt theme set, Qbittorrent will also be dark.

I thought we’d blocked ads already?

Dark Reader extension turns all websites into dark mode whether they like it or not.

Checkmate!

You can do that with a Pinecil too, there is a web-bluetooth frontend available for the V2 (the V1 doesn’t have Bluetooth).

The n900 was truly the best phone ever to exist and I’m deeply upset about it not having a modern equivalent

Use Heroic launcher for Epic games, it works great for everything I’ve put through it (including anti-cheat riddled stuff like GTA5 and Fall Guys). Heroic also supports GOG games. Lutris does the rest but can be a bit hit and miss compared to Steam/Heroic.

You’re 100% right. Linux itself is perfectly capable for a lot of users (note I didn’t say all users, or even most users, before people start coming at me with their weird edge case that requires Windows) but the community of both users and devs do absolutely nothing good to get people on board.

Another unsung nicety related to this one is that you can fully update your system but only start using it once you reboot. Too many times I updated the kernel on Arch only to find everything stopped working until I rebooted, hence why routine updates can just be done automatically with no issues to the user.

ARM boards are just a pain to use right now. There’s always some stupid quirk or driver problem and that’s if you even manage to find an up to date image for your chosen OS that works (because I can just about guarantee the ‘generic ARM’ one won’t). Feels like every few months someone announces something that’ll make all these problems go away yet here we are.

Peertube is a crazy impressive piece of tech. Just like Lemmy and Mastodon, it needs something to happen to push users over to it (or something like it). YouTube keeps doing stupid things like this, so one day users will be pushed away from it and the creators will have to follow or die.

Android 15 beta… so it’ll be available on phones, out of the box, without anyone having to build/install a custom, on phones actual normal humans buy in about 2030 then.

What kind of battery life do you actually get? I can barely scrape a fully day out of my phone right now so anything similar to that is fine by me!

Wake up the day after to find they’ve got half a T-1000 arm that’s fallen over, with a huge mess of spaghetti sprouting from the top

I wasn’t aware the calculator app used h.264/5, what relevance is that?

Heroic is amazing. Rather than running the crappy Epic client via Wine, you just install this native piece of software that then launches each game via Wine/Proton/whatever else and pretty much just works every time, complete with things like EAC

Curious how they expect this to work for people who aren’t even “paying” [with money or data] Meta users. Those people who never signed up for any of their services yet are still being tracked across websites via those social sharing buttons and the like. Are they supposed to pay Meta to not hoard their data from all the other websites, despite never setting foot on a Meta site?

Is “Hey Siri, skip this track” really any better than just, reaching up and tapping your earphone?

Murena Fairphone

That’s awesome, never heard of this! I was referring to the stock Fairphones, which are absolutely Google-filled. But if someone is reselling them with all that crap stripped then that project is for sure worthy of recognition.
