“Well dam” - beavers

What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?

Maybe the Nobel should have went to you.

No identifiers, so your social graph stays private.

Also has an independent security audit.

To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.

Not for KDE which aims to be good for beginners.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.

Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.

Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.

Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.

This comment betrays a technical misunderstanding.

Not only is it possible, but designing games from the ground up in this way makes it easier for developers to test and make robust software.

You can change the color.

Chrome still uses WebKit.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.

However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

I’ll have to come up with some examples and write something more detailed I think to explore this.

Until NixOS I was very in favor of language specific package managers and things like flatpak.

You see the conclusion of that article is that flatpaks are not repeoducible after presenting solutions to make it reproducible right?

If you care about your software being stable and secure, you should care about how easy the programming language used makes and encourages that.

People aren’t robots and make mistakes often.

The issue was closed, but a draft PR was linked… potato:

I did this before being in emacs made it so convenient to avoid, but got bit randomly by different versions or gnu vs BSD.
