One thing that might really help would be Valve releasing an official version of SteamOS to the public. It would hopefully get us more handhelds running SteamOS natively and people switching their PCs, particularly if they can release it before the Win10 EOL date.

Sure, projects like Bazzite exist, but I don't think those have enough reach beyond the people already running some form of Linux.

Yup. I've never done anything besides installing NVIDIA drivers. Just switching the cable of the secondary monitor to the motherboard ports and it just worked. No reboot even, just making sure that adaptive sync is enabled in KDE or wherever.

VRR does not work if you have a NVIDIA card and more than one monitor enabled.

I recently learned that's not entirely correct for Wayland. The critical thing is that VRR stops working if more than one enabled monitor is connected to the NVIDIA GPU. Meaning that if you connect only one display to the NVIDIA GPU and the other monitors to the integrated GPU it should just work.

I felt pretty stupid when I realized that I could've just switched a single cable and be using VRR way earlier. Didn't even need a reboot to work. For reference, I'm using a NVIDIA GPU + AMD CPU with 1 G-Sync as my main monitor and one non-VRR as my secondary monitor.

Great bundle, but seeing Penny and Arzette is a bit sad as they must've really bombed if they're already in a bundle. That's just 4 months from release to bundle.

Yup. I'm still waiting for the perfect controller that has gyro and bindable paddles through Steam Input. This is finally a controller that delivers those things, but then lacks such a basic feature like rumble. I really hope they have a pro version planned.

Cries in nvme1n1p6, which is my current OS partition.

these keys allow anyone to [...] brick all r1s

the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it.

Assuming that's true, then just bricking them all sounds like it might even be the ethically correct move.

The removal of PWAs has always been a pet peeve of mine, so it's nice to see them reconsidering. So far I'm managing with the PWA Addon, but it's more than clunky as it does some very dirty hacks to fake support for PWAs.

SimCity 2000 isn't on ProtonDB because they only list Steam games. It's on Lutris though with multiple automatic install scripts for different versions, so it should be fairly easy to get running.

In general I've had way less trouble getting ancient Windows games to run on modern Linux than on modern Windows.

RPCS3 is indeed excellent, but if you look at their compatibility list about a third of all games aren't in a playable state. The big exclusive titles people usually set up an emulator for will work for the most part, but outside of that it quickly becomes a lot sketchier.

Or being unable to install third-party apps or other browser engines is supposed to be for security reasons. Or being environment friendly through their recycling program when the truth is that they only do that to keep spare parts out of reach of independent repair shops. Pure gaslighting.

At the very least it's seems heavily inspired by the Digital Markets Act, which is why I'd hope that their wording will be specific enough to close those "loopholes" Apple is currently attempting in the EU.

It sounds vague and will either end up being a very powerful tool or almost useless. If it's the former, it would be gigantic win indeed.

Germany has the "Medienstaatsvertrag" §8.3, which requires advertisements to be easily recognizable as such and also adequately separated through audio or visual cues.

At the very least I'd say that UK/Germany would be a good bet. Though the idea of just plastering the note over the whole video might do the trick, considering that's what some German channels already do if they are sponsored to stay on the safe side.

That would mean running an unmarked ad for five seconds, which would create an interesting legal question. But YouTube also buffers a good chunk of upcoming content, so there's enough upcoming video material to check.

It might take a lot more effort, but I don't think this will be the end. Google is required by law to label ads as such, giving these tools an opportunity to detect and skip them.

There was a time when I was actually worried about job security due to an overabundance of young people wanting to enter the field. Nowadays, not so much.

On the other hand, I'm instead now worrying that younger generations might become even less able to understand the importance of digital rights if they don't even understand the basics of the technology.

Even worse, it also previews the theme when selected. I hope that the logic they use for that feature works in a simpler way.

Wait, am I missing something here? Are there countries where you don't have all options on the ballot, or at least an empty space?

Edit: Saw your explanation in another comment. Wouldn't having to bring your own ballot also invalidate voting secrecy, since bringing your own indicates that you most likely intent to vote for an unlisted party (and, in reverse, anyone using the regular ballot voting for a party that's listed)?
