That was probably the dramma about Fedora ending support of 32b libraries, which Steam heavily relies on and won’t easily work without.

It’s still being discussed, and even if they go through with it (which is a PR suicide for Fedora), it won’t be earlier than in two years.

Isn’t Aurora still Fedora? Then it probably wouldn’t solve the issue with gaming on Fedora being made so difficult to set up, that it forced one of the more popular distros to shut down.

Bazzite is a gaming focused distro, so I wager that that would be a major problem for a lot of people.

The only choice for a lot of gamers (including me) will simply be to not use Fedora, and find a new distro to switch to, which is a shame. (Although, it will probably just be SteamOS at that point). I’m also worried about my Lenovo Legion Go. It’s unusable with Windows, and Bazzite being atomic is a really really good fit for it, and they have builds specially tailored for Legion.

But we still have two years to go, so we’ll see. I don’t think Fedora has the power and market share to force others to follow with depreciation of 32b, and unless other distros join in, it will just be a PR disaster and people will just begrudgingly move to other distros.

I also really recommend EmuVR, it’s a frontend for Retroarch, that is the most archetypal 80s room in VR, with CRT tvs, your roms as physical disk or cartriges, and each core has it’s physical model you plug into the TV, plop yourself down in front of it, and can play. It makes the experience way, way better than playing on an LCD or a phone, and it’s my favorite VR experience I found so far.

I really like logseq for my personal knowledge base, notes, and in general magaging things from to-dos, reading lists or personal projects.

The way you can structure information relationally, and espetially the “referenced from” preview that’s on each page makes it really easy to get an overwiev of something, and the query language to make your of previews (such as, list every unfinished to-do with a deadline this week) makes it a pretty powerfull tool.

Figuring out syncing, especially on mobile, took some time, since it lives in a git repo, but there are some plugins for it on PC and on mobile I just use Termux with CLI git.

That’s exactly how I found out about this, I was really looking forward to that game.

I think I also saw it somewhere else, but don’t remember what it was.

You are right, edited. I remember reading somewhere that they do hardware-based whitelisting, and that it was based on the screen’s HW, but the point was that they can (and a lot of game unfortunately do) somehow whitelist Steamdeck only, while still not letting desktop Linux play.

It’s even worse.

They are adding Linux support - but only if it detects you are running the exact model of OLED screen as Steam Deck has on SteamDeck, and blocks every other Linux device.

EDIT: There is some kind of hardware validation that can’t be easily spoofed, I vaguely remember reading it was based on the screen HW, but that’s beside the point.

I really enjoyed my time with Nobara, and it was what made the switch to Linux stick for me, so I am grateful for the project.

But, I don’t get why would anyone consider Brave, with the many scandals they had, their failed attempts at extorting content creators for their own advertising crypto-scam and other advertising stuff? Plus, it’s chromium when we need to push firefox more, either Mullvad or LibreWolf.

Either it’s a really negligient research, or they got paid. It’s a shame. I already switched to Bazzite, so it doesn’t really affect me, but it’s sad to see decisions like this. I wonder what happened.

EDIT: I should have clicked the link instead of wildly speculating :D

Brave was not our first or immediate choice, however the decision to change to Brave comes after a long period of testing with various browsers failing in some way or another.

Firefox and firefox based browsers (such as floorp and librewolf) would incur a GPU crash when scrolling live videos (things like youtube shorts, tiktok, etc) with VRR enabled: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12528

Chromium and Vivaldi both would break google meets with hardware acceleration enabled (however their flatpaks were fine)

I think I know who killed him.

By 11, he was programming on his own—a skill he used to playfully torment his friends. One remembers Balaji’s idea of a middle-school prank: writing code that deleted a friend’s Skyrim save file.

Isn’t the OpenAI one they offer the same one as the one provided at https://chatgpt.com/ without login? So probably something not as impactful.

Or do they share their unlimited subscription?

That’s only for the 200$ one, and if you use it constantly, no?

lol, I love it. I’m thinking about paying for DeepSeek even though I hate AI bullshit, just to spite all the panicking AI tech scammers. This has seriously made my week, the amount of copium they are inhaling is insanely funny :D

I’ve seen this warning in a lot of apps, like Teams, Messenger or some authenticators, and some of the time I could simply ignore it and continue using the app. I think some of apps simply use it for push notifications that I can get by without.

Not all, though. Sometimes it simply doesn’t work.

Thank you, it was an interesting read.

Unfortunately, as I was looking more into it, I’ve stumbled upon a paper that points out some key problems with the proof. I haven’t looked into it more and tbh my expertise in formal math ends at vague memories from CS degree almost 10 years ago, but the points do seem to make sense.

Lol. We’re as far away from getting to AGI as we were before the whole LLM craze. It’s just glorified statistical text prediction, no matter how much data you throw at it, it will still just guess what’s the next most likely letter/token based on what’s before it, that can’t even get it’s facts straith without bullshitting.

If we ever get it, it won’t be through LLMs.

I hope someone will finally mathematically prove that it’s impossible with current algorithms, so we can finally be done with this bullshiting.

What I mean by that is that it doesn’t shove the AI summaries into your face, and they are only generated if you actually click on a different tab.

I just use Kagi, which seems to be pretty good at filtering bullshit by default, and have mabually downranked reddit and twitter, ot any other site I found and don’t like. But it’s been a long time since I used other search, so I can’t compare it much since I’m used to it. Never really had any problems with not finding what I need.

I’m using Kagi, but as of right now I’m not sure if I can recommend it. The last year with it was amazing, but for the past few days I’ve been getting blocked searches from my VPN out of nowhere. That would be a dealbreaker for me, but I hope it was just a mistake and they will fix it. It’s the first time it has happened in the year or so I’ve been using it.

Apparently, they are also adding a bunch of AI features, but I only noticed it when I was looking up the feature page, and I haven’t noticed any of it in my feed before that - so I guess they don’t push it on users and it’s optional somewhere out of the way, so don’t let that discourage you. (Though, it would’ve discouraged me, if I saw that before I started using it. But as of now it doesn’t affect you unless you look for it, I guess)

Other than that, the search is awesome. But since I’m using it exclusively for like a year, I can’t really compare it with other engines, it’s possible that I’m just used to it.

I’ve never had issues with looking anything up. By downranking Reddit and using a search engine with a good indexer that downranks bullshit and generated websites, which mine is really good at, I haven’t noticed much change from how it was before.

But I agree with the second part. That’s something that never occured to me, and it makes sense. I was usually trying to answer questions I knew, and never had the urge to reply “just google it”, so it doesn’t change much for me, but it’s a really good point I never realized.
