I cosiddetti pc spazzatura
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same
So, are these the so-called 0-days everybody talks about on windows and linux?
(This is a joke for everybody not getting it)
The 980Ti as stated by the Dirk's comment use Maxwell architecture, I'm not able to find any end of support date on the site, so I'm not sure when they will drop support.
Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
Unfortunately you don't need to wait to see this happens, because it's already happening right now, indeed dx12 games have a lot of problems running on this older cards on linux, and I myself experienced this with my 1060 first with cyberpunk 2077 and after that with resident evil 2 remastered.
As even stated by doitsujin (dxvk creator):
Low D3D12 performance on Nvidia Pascal (and older) GPUs is expected and likely won't improve much. The hardware has a bunch of limitations that make it very hard to extract good performance. Turing fares better, but only AMD actually runs reasonably well right now.

Because the open module is only for Turing or later GPUs, or Ada, and the open module is available for those since 2022 so it's not that big of a news.
Open Linux Kernel Modules Installed by Default Starting in the release 560 series, it will be recommended to use the open flavor of NVIDIA Linux Kernel Modules wherever possible (Turing or later GPUs, or Ada or later when using GPU virtualization). If installing from the .run file, installation wi...
Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week (or so) we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps. As you might have noticed, the frequency of "This Week in KDE Apps" has not been very consistent lately. Particularly during the summer season, I (Carl) ha...

Sorry my bad the petition does state citizen, title edited!
"Stop Killing Games" is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries.
Over the past year, we have succesfully escalated complaints on this problem to consumer agencies in France, Germany, and Australia, and have brought forth petitions for new law on this problem to various countries. A list of the actions taken to date can be viewed here. As of 2025, most consumer action on this matter has concluded and we are awaiting decisions on it from several governments. However, there are a few remaining avenues left where people can participate if they are eligible!

Classic Sonic, Shining Force, Crazy Taxi, and other SEGA titles are now free on Android, but they'll be disappearing soon.
WhatsApp is rolling out ads. In an update on Monday, Meta announced that it will now show ads from businesses through its Stories-like status feature.
Meta says it will tailor the ads to your interests by using “limited” information, including your country or city, language, the channels you follow, and how you interact with ads on the platform. You can also change your ad preferences from Meta’s Accounts Center.
This isn’t the only change Meta is making to WhatsApp. The company will also start showing promoted channels when you click on the Explore button to find new ones to follow. It’s also rolling out the ability to subscribe to channels to “receive exclusive updates” as well.

For now they didn't share nothing about it!
Tho in the roadmap for plasma 6.5 (https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6) you can find:
- Union theming system tech preview
- plasma-login SDDM replacement
- Wayland picture-in-picture protocol support
- Rounded bottom window corners
- Location services KCM
- Global shortcuts found by KRunner
- Automatic brightness adjustment on devices with light sensors
No the guys is right, at first the title did only mention SteamOS, that's why!
(Either way I edited the tile, and to be precise, it was released 11 years and 7 months ago)
SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system. It features a seamless user experience optimized for gaming, while retaining access to the power and flexibility of a PC, and plays tens of thousands of games on Steam. SteamOS officially ships on Steam Deck, and will soon ship with certain Legion Go ...

This statement is not 100% true, rust perform a lot of memory safety checks at compile time, rather than at runtime, tho in certain case such as when working with multicore programs that involve concurrent data modifications, Rust does perform runtime checks to ensure memory safety.
Yes there is some work for ps1 games for example the crash team racing demp
https://github.com/CTR-tools/CTR-ModSDK This is the link, tho the repo is being used for ctr mod tools too.
In my opinion, this is a good approach. While the vast majority of PC users aren't used to these settings, it's great that those who prefer them still have the option to change them. This is especially positive because features like single-click to open or drag-and-drop by default aren't used outside of KDE — in fact, the standard behavior across macOS, Windows, and most other desktop environments is different.
This is the same kind of thing that annoys me about macOS: they change things that worked fine for years and replace them with features no one asked for. For example, why is the scroll wheel inverted by default? And if you change it, the touchpad scrolling becomes inverted instead. Why do I need to hold Control and click just to perform a right-click? It's a change that complicates things instead of improving them.
Can you link a source for this?
