Valve have said they aren’t planning on a new Steam Deck until there’s substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn’t expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.

Intel’s Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it’s just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn’t have real video cards until recently.

I’m running the Battle.net client on Linux with Wine instead of Deck and Proton, but I haven’t had any problems recently.

It last updated around two weeks ago and the previous update was two weeks before that. I’m running version 2.22.0.14235 and there’s no updates available.

There was an issue with some versions of Wine making Battle.net fail with a “This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform” message. Is that what you’re hitting, or something else?

Stadia really needed to be a monthly subscription model rather than asking people to buy games on Stadia.

Nobody wanted to buy in to a Google platform, but I might’ve signed up for a month and had a look.

Federation is glitchy right now, there’s fixes coming in Lemmy 0.18.1

I’ve had to add something like #infinite_scroll_content > div:nth-of-type(1):others() for a few sites in uBlock Origin because every site wants you to just scroll the site forever now and attaches a bunch of other random articles to the bottom of any page you open.

I also block a lot of sidebars, sticky title bars that follow you as you scroll, widgets prompting me to chat with a salesweasel and so, so many cookie notice bars because sites still think they’re a get out of jail free card by EU law.

I’ve actually got quite a few Youtube lines in my filters file, because it’s my computer and it still does what I want despite the best efforts of big tech companies:

www.youtube.com##.yt-formatted-string.style-scope.yt-simple-endpoint:has-text(YouTube Music):nth-ancestor(13)
www.youtube.com###video-title-link:has-text(Mix – ):nth-ancestor(7)
www.youtube.com###title-text:has-text(Shorts):nth-ancestor(7)

Why don’t titles sponsored by one company also do extra work for free to support a different company’s competing proprietary technology?

Gee, I wonder.

Article doesn’t say a single word about NVIDIA titles that don’t support FSR, either.

Me too.

I originally intended to do a pcie passthrough setup with a second video card and use a Windows VM for gaming, but then DXVK hit and it just wasn’t necessary. The Windows games I cared about worked under Linux so I never got around to it.

Your comment made me put down my phone and laugh out loud until someone came and checked that I was alright.

They’re apparently planning on hoovering up everyone else’s data while keeping theirs to themselves.

It’s Meta, after all.

I’ve got a Brother AIO printer/scanner, and it has a Linux driver. Even for the scan function.

I can start the brscan service on my Linux machine and then just press the scan to PC button on the scanner and the scans land in ~/brscan/ over the network.

It makes me smile a little when I get ads for restaurants in the suburb in a completely different city where my ISP has its registered business address.

This. For a lot of people Reddit isn’t reddit.com, it’s Apollo or Relay or Sync or Reddit Is Fun.

After the apps stop working, they won’t be able to keep using the thing they’re used to. They can’t just go back, they’ll have to switch to something different.

The more I hear about Windows these last few years, the more it feels like I got out just in time.

Gaming on Linux just keeps getting better, and doing anything on Windows just keeps getting worse.

The thing is… ‘the way things were’ meant Reddit on good mobile apps without ads, spam and tracking.

I don’t want to learn all about a new UI, but I’d have to do that to continue to use Reddit.
