The lapdock part definitely exists already but it’s really expensive for what it is, can’t wait for Linux phones get to daily driver level and I’ll switch right away to one

It’s finally the year of the Satanic desktop

Is there a way they can track through this? It’s not provided by Google but from a third party browser extension

I use Debian Stable for gaming, I use Steam via flatpak which also brings in the latest mesa drivers, and I use the liquorix kernel (custom kernel tuned for desktop performance at expense of power use). The debian-backports kernel is also an option (and a subjectively better one at that, as liquorix isn’t supported by the Debian security team) to get a new kernel for up-to-date drivers for gaming.

If you’re wanting to go with Debian for gaming you’ll have a good experience even if you don’t use a newer kernel and drivers, the performance difference isn’t earth shattering, it’s around 1-5 fps (anecdotal) on average compared to newer distros. You’ll also have to go out of your way to enable flatpak or the non-free repo to get Steam though. It’ll work well after that one time initial setup

If you want just a distro where you just install it, throw Steam or other games on it, and want gaming to be a focus of the distro so it’ll always have the latest-and-greatest for it with little effort required, I’d highly recommend Pop!_OS, it’s Debian based so it’ll be familiar to you while using it.

Edit: If you have an Nvidia GPU, using Pop_OS! over Debian will save you a lot of headache in trying to get up-to-date Nvidia drivers, Debian provides them but generally they’re not the latest ones. If you have an AMD or Intel GPU, it’s all about the Mesa and Kernel versions for providing your drivers.

Extremely interested in this one, I’ll wishlist it and probably buy it a few months after release, not before though.

Don’t pre-order games in 2023-2024, unless you’re absolutely okay with running into issues and (hopefully) reporting them to the devs

How do you block words? Can you do it from the site or is it just in some of the lemmy apps

It says they finally have experimental support for very simple GUIs, hopefully they get even more support in time though because this’ll be fun to mess around with

Your instance is lemmy.one, which has downvotes disabled, Sync is detecting that and hiding the downvote button. Other instances that also have them disabled are beehaw, lemmy.blahaj.zone, and a few others.

In the other apps you’re seeing the downvote button because it isn’t checking if downvotes are disabled or not, if you press downvote in those apps it’ll look like it went through, but the downvote doesn’t actually happen.

There are very few instances that disable downvotes, so a lot of the apps still show the downvote button due to just not knowing it’s a thing

Edit: If an app dev happens to come by this and wants to add a check if downvotes are enabled in your app, the API to check is here: https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/LocalSite.html#enable_downvotes

The article says that the same thing is happening to Google as well with Android, I’m no Apple fangirl, but they made an announcement about this once they were allowed to while Google hasn’t said a thing about it publishes it in transparency reports without naming the US Government, without a statement on it yet. Both were operating on a slippery slope since they weren’t allowed to discuss it directly until now.

They’re being compelled by the government to do this, doesn’t matter who you are if the government is forcing you with a gag order, no one can fight back against that.

100%, with how successful their shark cards were there’s no chance they don’t go all in on that again, wish they wouldn’t though

Bitte entschuldigen Sie meine Grammatik, da ich kein Deutsch spreche. Es gibt hier eine neue Version davon, die vom anderen Betreuer erstellt wurde und verspricht, Open Source zu bleiben https://github.com/FossifyOrg

English: Please excuse my Grammar, I don’t speak German. there is a new version of it here, created by the other maintainer, which promises to stay Open Source https://github.com/FossifyOrg

Look into lgogdownloader, it’ll automate that process for you and it’s really convenient, and skips ones that are already backed up in future backups.

I run it every other month or so

Edit: ah just realized it’s linux only, I’m sure there’s some version of the same thing for Windows and Mac too though

Edit 2: here’s one that should work on Windows and Mac too https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc it’s not the most user friendly but worth it if you have way too many games to go through, especially for those that break up the offline installer into like 20 different 4gb parts per game

It’s similar to Ambernic in that it’s just the console GUI and game menus, but it has portmaster installed to put non-emulated games on it with a decently big list of games that’s been ported to it here.

For software it has rclone, syncthing, wireguard, and moonlight on it to gamestream from a PC via Geforce Experience (nvidia, Windows) or Sunshine (any gpu, Linux, Mac, or Windows). JelOS is the official distro for it

Well that’s a very nice surprise, I bought exactly that one earlier this year. Can’t wait to throw a distro on it.

For a reference of the performance for those interested: It can play everything up to just under high end N64 and PSP games for emulation, it gets a little framey at the largest games (ex: conkers bad fur day) but still playable. No idea what performance it’ll get for native, but I wouldn’t expect to be running anything above low end on this thing. For performance the price isn’t worth it compared to just buying a used phone and a telescopic controller, it’s okay for what it is though.

Now I’ve gotta plan what to throw at it to see what it can do with mainline Linux. Though there isn’t any onboard storage, it’s just two microSD card slots, one for OS one for games, so a full Linux distro is gonna chew through those little microSD’s.

As a long-time KDE user, I’d say for touch it’s definitely not ready yet for daily use. it’s been improving but Gnome is still a comparatively better experience for touchscreens, the tablet-like UI gives it an advantage

No, I think they’re actually against federation in general over there

I don’t, that’s why I’m a night owl.

You’re in luck if you want to stay with the apps, the other maintainer made a fork of it shortly after, also Astion, the group(company?) behind the Midori Browser is going to fork it too and promised to keep it foss forever, not sure which of the two are gonna stick around though, I don’t know much about the Midori devs.

The fork made by the other maintainer seems to be the one people are switching to most.

Based on how GalacticHypernova is talking on that thread you’d think Protonmail, Tutanota, Skiff, and SimpleLogin’s CEOs all made fun of them in high school and started their villain arc
