That is a rad *fetch image 😎

Yeah. The far-right border bill that aided in the demonization of immigrants we’re seeing today. The fact that so many democrats attached their name to it only served to launder the right’s racist fear-mongering about immigrants.

Fuck that bill. It’s bad policy and bad politics.

Yeah. Piracy is alive-and-well. You can even acquire and play PS5 games right now if you wanted to.

It’s also worth noting that even Sony can’t be bothered to properly emulate the PS3, which has resulted in many PS3-era games being remade into either native PC versions, or PS4/5 titles.

While it’s true that there are still some PS3-exclusive games that aren’t available in other formats, many of them are, so most people can get pretty far without needing PS3 emulation.

I only bring that up for anyone that may think they need PS3 emulation, but maybe haven’t been made aware of newer remakes or native PC ports of the games they’re actually looking for.

God damn it.

This is so true. The state of gaming on the Steam Deck is great right now. Even the foreboding unsupported status is only ever really a problem with asinine anti-cheat, and that’s just like a handful of games that aren’t worth playing in the first place.

Eww… You’re right. What a waste.

Yes. The US is also authoritarian. Yes, there is a clear media bias when it comes to the headlines that western media outlets are willing to run. In particular, painting non-western countries as more authoritarian than the US (which is sometimes true).

It’s valuable to point this out. Dog knows the shitty media bias bots used in other communities won’t.

However, the overall tone of your comment seems to suggest that it’s okay for non-western governments to do authoritarian bullshit, just because the US does. I trust that wasn’t the point of your comment, but I assume that’s why some may not take kindly to it.

For what it’s worth: my instance disables down votes, so I literally can’t down vote posts I disagree with.

The New York Times is a right-wing rag, and we should stop pretending it’s not.

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now.

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.

Just don’t ls /dev/loop* 🫣

I just pre-ordered five of these. lol. Thanks for the rec. Wendell from Level1Techs always has his eye on the coolest stuff.

I’d love some suggestions. I have a 1440p 32:9 monitor that can act as separate displays, but since Synergy, input-leap, and the other software KVMs don’t work on Wayland, I’m having a bad time :(

Google has a disproportionate and overwhelming say in AOSP. What do you think Lineage OS is based on?

When Google makes API changes to Android, it hurts AOSP too. Can the devs try to maintain the legacy API on their own? Sure, but it’s extra effort, so it’s usually not something you can count on.

This is more usable than browsh, in my experience, but has the very unfortunate downside of being based on Chromium (🤢)

It’s missing trackpads, which is a pretty big oversight for a device like that.

Does anyone know of this gets us closer to having a working software KVM solution with Wayland?

I’ve tried Synergy, Input Leap, and Waynergy, but nothing seems to work, unfortunately.
