Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free

I’d love for some big regulatory body forcing them to word it better and more clearly.

This is where the Heroic Games Launcher comes in, it only downloads the game itself, no Epic Games Launcher to be seen

I do like the mechanic though. Really forces you to adapt your playstyle. Some enemies are slow enough for it to not matter, and then with others it might actually be better to take some armor off, so you can dodge their attacks better.

Yeah, I don’t remember there being any pointers about equip load. On one hand it makes perfect sense, put heavy armor on and you’re slower. But on the other hand, it’s a video game, so many players wouldn’t expect it and then spend hours trying to figure out why their controller rumbles when they roll

The first Dark Souls is pretty clunky compared to modern games though, to be fair

I'm at a point where I wish Firefox had the option to automatically load sites in reader mode, when available

Even if it worked, I wouldn't want Adobe clogging up my Linux system with all their BS just to run Photoshop.

That shit gets a dedicated system on a dedicated drive.

Seems like a few countries should go over their laws again and prohibit those models from being sold. I don't know what else would be effective

I'm not sure if we're ever going to get the full potential of a card out of NVK, but the fact that running them above base clock is now possible is pretty huge already.
(Unless I misunderstood something, but I believe that's now a thing)

Wait… what? What???

Aegis Authenticator, in case someone was wondering what to use

Depends on a lot of factors, maybe you're regaining that battery life elsewhere. But it is fact that several apps all doing their own thing will drain more battery than if they all relied on a single service like Firebase or UnifiedPush to wake them up

Okay but jokes aside, how many users actually have issues with that? So far it never broke anything for me, even when it apparently should have, according to a forum post I only read several weeks late, after finally noticing the intervention required tag

There is one thing about interoperability that I don't see many people talking about:

Your messages going to and being handled by other services means you'd be subject to their TOS and privacy policy as well.

As long as services are transparent about it so users can make informed decisions based on it, that's generally fine.

But then services like Beeper, or just Matrix bridges in general, make it so anyone can setup such a connection between services without their contacts even knowing about it.

I'll switch when xfce fully supports it, by that time it should be ready.

(this is not meant as a slight against xfce in any way, I appreciate their focus on rock-solid stability)

And nowadays, most online ads are intrusive and privacy-defeating tracking, so you know

I said it a few times already, and I'll say it again:

Being passionate about something makes a person so, so much more attractive. It's so cute, it genuinely gives me the butterflies.

I love it so much. Go ahead, be nerdy, infodump about that cool thing you're into. I wanna hear it <3

So nice, right? Just being able to curate where your search engine pulls result from… I wish I'd discovered it sooner

Thank you.
This post made me realize that sometimes I get a little too annoyed when other people don't understand concepts that are completely obvious to me.

I'll have to reassess how I explain certain things, like how being connected to wifi doesn't mean having internet. Things like that are just not graspable when someone simply doesn't know all the steps that lie between a server and their phone at home, and that's absolutely fair.

It's common sense to a techie, but it's not actual common sense, as in everyone naturally learns this as they grow up
