Any thoughts on Epic Browser or Maxthon?
  • We don't keep Epic in an online repo just because Chromium is a massive codebase and Epic is not a fork but a modified version of Chromium so we don't have a consistent codebase rather it changes with each new version of Chromium. Chromium which Epic is built on is open source software which anyone can immediately download and audit.

    That is from the Epic FAQ page and doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. They basically are hacking stuff onto Chromium and saying "just let us know what you want to see", and "BTW Chromium is auditable but since we are making who knows what kind of hacks to its codebase it's kinda a moot point".

  • Trump urges MAGA supporters to forget about Epstein files
  • Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he's shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it's been a "radical Left" issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn't matter either way is just full panic.

    They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the "evidence" they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

  • Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response
  • I think his administration has a 2 prong approach to their attack on weather science:

    1. It's an attack on all science that they look to replace with "thoughts and prayers"
    2. If you suppress the science showing how you're making everyone less safe and putting millions of lives at risk, that's good "damage control". Then you double down on "owning the libs" at the same time making crazy corrupt deals with the fossil fuel industry.
  • What are you all using for game/library tracking, on Steamdeck?
  • I hadn't given this any thought previously, but reading your post now that I have kids playing through my library, and that I'm constantly adding games, this would be helpful.

    So for self hosted I found this: Slaanesh

    And for a letterboxd feel for games I found this: Backlogged

  • Laggy performance on fedora linux
  • Have you tried the default Fedora kernel? Also you didn't install TLP did you?

  • Truckers Freedom Convoy leader says he is seeking political asylum in the United States
  • Well those white South Africans needed that asylum because of the white genocide going on in Africa. /s

    Also Trump has to do something to distract his base from the fact he just had his DOJ do a huge Epstein coverup after promising to bring the pedo cabal to justice for years.

  • The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in their heels  | CBC News
  • Interesting that they would be confused at all. I have an interest, because Canada is cool, but I won't be visiting anytime soon because I know we are the worst and nobody is going to want us there. I also don't want to deal with assholes at the border, even though I'm a US citizen they have carte blanche to do anything they are in the mood for.

  • Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?
  • It is a bit of weighing the convenience of Steam dealing with your catalog of games, making them all just a download away, and keeping them outside of Steam and needing to come up with your own currarion method. And if you are buying (licensing it - because apparently nobody actually owns their games) the game outside one of these storefronts, you still have DRM to deal with most likely anyway.

    Just have to weigh the pros vs cons.

  • Beware games like this
  • If a group of people are influenced by whatever, and suddenly write a bunch of negative reviews I would consider that a review bomb if they played 0 hours, or 10k hours. Adding the weird stipulation that it needs to be people that never played it is not a requirement I've ever heard. Now is it more likely that the trolls will be people who haven't played, absolutely, because the low cost (nothing) of doing so while the people that play games are actually gaming.

    Review bombing is a coordinated online campaign where a large group of people post a deluge of negative reviews for a product, service, or business, often with the intent to harm its reputation or sales. This tactic is usually employed as a form of protest, coercion, or even just trolling, and is often seen in response to perceived issues with the product or its creators.

    • Googles stupid AI
  • U.S. Congress members urge Canada to deal with wildfire smoke ruining their summer
  • Are you trying to kill the beautiful birds and drive the whales crazy?! /s

  • U.S. Congress members urge Canada to deal with wildfire smoke ruining their summer
  • Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

  • Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?
  • As the only platform that cares about gamers I would say it's your only choice under Windows also. Unless you pay for boxed versions and then rip/crack them so your not messing with physical media constantly, but then disk space becomes and issue fast.

  • US confirms Trump ordered resumption of Ukraine military aid shipments
  • More or less, but classic case of correlation ≠ causation.

  • Beware games like this
  • The thing about this meme is those people are either review bombing because "reasons", or they are all masochists, either way I would disregard them as spam and look for better reviews.

  • Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust
  • "It obviously needs some tuning, but this is the radical left blowing a small thing out of proportion."

    • Twitter/Musk at some point (probably)

    Do remember this is the guy who did 2 full Nazi salutes at an event for his presidential candidate, and America voted Trump in anyway, they give zero fucks about "blatant". And training his AI on Nazi material is going to make his bot pro-Nazi, not rocket-surgery.

  • US confirms Trump ordered resumption of Ukraine military aid shipments
  • Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  • Google co-founder Sergey Brin calls U.N. ‘transparently antisemitic’ after report on tech firms and Gaza
  • Before and after. Like you said, the occurrence of one unfortunately doesn't stop humans from carrying out another elsewhere.

  • Ted Cruz: ‘Vacationing Is How I Grieve’
  • Yeah, but if they have no power at home, or shits flooded, old Ted's gotta grieve about it someplace his constituents can't find him.
