Yes, but its far harder to associate the identity with others, meaning it doesnt really accomplish much for them. They can’t target ads at a user based on their mastodon account unless they associate it with the users advertising IDs on other sites.

Sunshine should be able to do hardware encoding for that GPU, it has support for VA-API

I think it comes from the fact that a lot of communities and projects use Discord basically like they would with IRC, with voice chats often not even existing in some servers. I have to assume the people who recommend Matrix are only ever in that kind of server.

I’m in 2 or 3 servers with different friend groups and of course each one is full of friends of friends of friends. Even the smallest is over 30 people, but I only regularly join VC with 3-4. If I had to call all of them to be in a voice call I would literally never do it.

Same goes for chats, in Matrix the closest things to channels and servers is rooms and spaces. The difference is that you don’t join a space, you just view rooms in the space and join them. Most of my servers have a ton of different channels for different things, I want to be able to see what happens in all of them without having to join each one, announcing to them that I’ve joined.

I like Matrix for FOSS project discussions, but I don’t think it’ll ever be the right pick for just hanging out with friends.

This is just a link to the branding repo. There isnt much to maintain in there.

Drop-in voice channels are a requirement for a discord alternative, Matrix does not have them. AFAIK you still need to call an entire channel to start a voice chat.

This is true that some blurs could be undone, but the ones used in the files are definitely destructive and cannot be undone. Grok and any other image generation tool is also definitely not capable of doing it. It requires knowledge of how it was blurred so you can use the same algorithm to undo it, models simply guess what it should look like.

This is very good, winetricks has been a great tool for Linux gaming but its a very slow 20000 line shell script, it definitely needs a replacement imo.

Hopefully this works well enough that Valve and Umu consider switching to it for applying Protonfixes.

I’m not super familiar with sysext, but from my understanding, you’d need to create an additional sysext to include, or find an existing one for DMS (I couldn’t find one).

Your other options would be using rpmtree or a custom image. Theres already a few images out there that are based on Bluefin with Niri + DMS added.

Tbh I’m recalling struggling to find good documentation for sysext. Asking in the ublue discord will probably get you better answers.

Dash’s more significant feature is its speed. It’s not meant to be used in place of bash at all, its meant to be symlinked in place of sh to give you a faster and smaller shell with a simpler and more auditable codebase.

Dash is not a a Bash alternative, it is an sh alternative. You definitely should not replace Bash with it. If your goal is to learn career relevant skills, stick with bash.

A pretty solid introduction! Gonna share it with some friends are getting into it. Idk how much I agree with the character difficulty tier list, but its prefaced with her saying not to work about it too much anyways so doesnt really matter.

Such a stupid idea. Just give them a normal ID you can look up, why should it be a QR code?

Was it? I might be missing something but I dont know which part addressed that. You mentioned getting a steam controller and a mount if they need those features, but not any mention of remote play being why they’d need them.

The Steam Deck has touchpads because many games are optimized for keyboard and mouse, not touchscreens. Phone games are not.

I’d assume they want it for Steam remote play

Ngl I did not think about that at all. There are loads of sites with social in the name, like the flagship mastodon instance.

It seems kinda silly to stop using social as in the name for social websites because of them.

I’ve been playing since the minute the patch dropped and its been working fine

weird, I wonder why it worked for me. i havent used it in a while, so maybe I’m misremembering something or something just changed

Is there something wrong with Heroics cloud saves? I havent tried using my saves on a windows system using Galaxy, but they’ve worked across devices running Heroic.

Yeah, there isnt even a merge request upstream yet and it seems like no tests have been added, which I’m sure will be required before merge.

They did release a binary of their fork, and you can always build it yourself as well.

Nah just officially support Heroic, its already great.
