  • Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that

    Jump

  • Maybe Navidrome's jukebox mode, although I suspect it's a slightly different idea (and it was a bit buggy last time I tried it).

    Jump

  • Many don't run into dir structure issues because they have already organised their libraries with beets or an equivalent. I don't personally have any issues with playing albums either. Some of the issues you are talking about seem to be client side, are you only testing the web interfaces?

  • Dsub2000 and Tempo are active FOSS alternatives.

  • I designed my own ridiculously fast game streaming video codec – PyroWave – Maister's Graphics Adventures

    Jump

  • Not my code to be clear. Maister also recently got FSR4 working on Linux, among many other contributions.

  • WiVRn is for VR, and I doubt it has any support for non-VR applications. It's FOSS of course so maybe it could be adapter for that use case, but it's probably better to integrate it into the likes of Sunshine/Moonlight.

    The algorithm and code were only released a couple of months ago so it's very early days.

  • Blocking tariffs would be "end of the United States," top Trump adviser says

    Jump

  • Not only do they not care, inflicting harm is the entire point for these people.

  • New PC, use both GPUs?

    Jump

  • It's best with dual AMD GPUs, and maybe Intel. YMMV once you throw Nvidia into the mix.

  • Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62%

    Jump

  • It wasn't tariffs but the annexation threats that have driven the boycott.

  • FFmpeg 8.0 “Huffman” Released with AV1 Vulkan Encoder, VVC VA-API Decoding

    Jump

  • SVT-AV1 has also had some pretty major improvements in recent months and years. It's possible if tested even a year ago it will be significantly faster for the same quality today.

    Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality on Steam

  • OnePlus will limit bootloader unlocking

    Jump

  • Hopefully this is as far as it goes and not something they will continually restrict each year. This feels similar to the Xiaomi situation which seems to have had the same problems in China, and they have gradually restricted unlocking more and more.

  • Japan’s PC gaming population has decreased by 3 million in the past decade, studies suggest

    Jump

  • On Steam, Japanese language has grown from 0.85% in July 2015, to 2.56% in July 2025.

    Is that Steam users that have set Japanese as their main language or the proportion of games that include Japanese language support?

  • SR-IOV Will Only Be Supported On Intel Arc Pro Graphics Cards

    Jump

  • They seem to all be committed to limiting this feature to the pro market, which is a shame. At least AMD and Intel have native context support, although it's very early days and Linux host and guests only for now.

  • Battlefield 6 requires secure boot to be enabled and active

    Jump

  • I just think the user should be the one to decide whether they enable it or not. Pre-built PCs and motherboards can enable it by default, but it should be simple to bypass (and it usually is) and no company should be demanding or requiring people enable it.

    The same applies for TPM2, which is also useful but shouldn't be a requirement. If nothing else because of the E-waste this can cause by requiring PCs to support it. And most new PCs will end up enabling it in the long run anyway, so there is no need to force the issue.

  • Valve just gave Steam Deck owners a new way to organize and customize their game library

    Jump

  • Looks like it's available in desktop mode too, so will work anywhere on Linux at the least.

  • PlayStation 6 Console And New PS6 Handheld ‘Canis’ Specs Leak, It’s Claimed - Insider Gaming

    Jump

  • They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don't think exclusives are a good thing anyway.

  • Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.

    Jump

  • I suggest using Beetle mednafen, unless you're on a very slow system. Or Swanstation, it's not like that's going away.

  • Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.

    Jump

  • I also don't see Swanstation going away any time soon, even if it gets no new features. It's pretty close to feature complete in the ways that matter anyway.

  • The future is NOT Self-Hosted, but Self-Sovereign

    Jump

  • I just overuse parantheses instead, as you noted. You know you're rambling when you have several layers of them, like I'm writing a conversation in Lisp.

  • AMD Kernel Graphics Driver Exceeds 5.9 Million Lines In Linux 6.16

    Jump

  • Most of this is auto-generated header files to be clear. Still, goes to show how many GPU variants they have support for in the kernel, going back 15+ years.
