It’s only about whether the game runs on SteamOS, handhelds and screen size, input and performance thereof don’t matter for the rating like it does for Deck Verified.

I’m not sure if it’s just because Ubisoft has a special contract but for Trackmania I’m able to pay the subscription either through Ubisoft directly or through Steam.

I understand the subscription model is required since every player is bound to cost them money for every round, but apparently even if you’re already subscribed to GeoGuessr you have to pay again for the Steam version which is absurd to me.

I expected it to be a silly video with lots of misinfo but he’s just spitting for 20 minutes straight, really pleasantly surprised.

I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.

^(I literally cannot wait, it’ll never happen…)

Ubisoft taking notes.

“For 50 years, the ESA has saved numerous species – including iconic American species like bald eagles […] from extinction”

Self-proclaimed patriots driving their own national symbol to extinction, no satire in the world could’ve written it better.

Here in the UK I’m getting fed up of regular pride marches because I’m pretty sure “they won” like the fight should be over.

That’s extremely ignorant, especially in the UK where trans people are treated so poorly a woman has been granted asylum in New Zealand over it.

In chronological order.

Someone could have used it. Now its just waste.

It’s mentioned 4 times in the article it was headed for the scrapyard, including the sentence you got your info about the battery from. That’s almost impressive…

It’s gotten a lot more stable though some games still cause freezes while others don’t at all. I currently also have to run KDE with direct scanout disabled to get rid of some flicker and fullscreen related freezes, though I haven’t noticed a difference in how it feels compared to with it on.

One non Linux related issue I don’t see mentioned enough is that at least some cards suffer from pretty bad coil whine at normal fps values (~120 is the loudest on mine). I don’t hear it through my headphones but it’s something to be aware of if.

Performance has improved and it’s usually been around what I’d expect aside from ray-tracing, which is still a weak spot but close enough to be playable. ROCM (AMDs cuda equivalent) is working now and FSR4 recently got a breakthrough by vkd3d devs so it might be next.

I don’t regret my choice at all but I’m a tinkerer, if you want it to be 100% ready instead of 90% it’s probably better to wait a year.

Someone saw the latest John Oliver! Really great video, I’m glad high profile allies like him still exist for the sake of my American trans friends.

I’m not sure how this would be considered good, it’s still oppression. The result just happens to be desirable but that doesn’t justify the way it was achieved.

Disabled on lemm.ee due to abuse I believe, gotta upload it somewhere else and post the link.

VR is possible but not ideal right now, largely depends on your headset and the games. SteamVR is lacking proper asynchronous reprojection so you can’t dip below your headset’s framerate without stutter and alternatives like Monado aren’t as plug-and-play. Hopefully when Valve releases their (presumably) standalone Linux VR headset deckard there will be another boost to improving VR on Linux for everyone.

I got a Sapphire Pure, wasn’t quite MSRP but with 799€ including 19% VAT still better than I expected in the months leading up to the launch - and it’s just a beauty…

A friend is running a Red Devil on Linux and they have the same idle power draw so I assume it’s just some kinks in the initial drivers but it’s already looking pretty good in that regard, similar to my previous card (Vega 64). The video I saw, and yeah mine is behaving similarly, undervolting drastically increases clocks though stability testing on Linux is not fun so I haven’t looked how far I could push it yet, but really excited for the undervolting potential. I’ve seen it’s possible to get near stock performance with as low as 240W.

Monado definitely has benefits with its asynchronous reprojection and being FOSS but overall I prefer SteamVR when it works cause it’s just more seamless for gaming with its overlay. I’ve had a good experience with recent SteamVR versions where everything apart from Home usually just works, currently on the beta branch.

Opposite experience, only 2 Matter devices so far but both working on HA with external network access cut off in my router after I previously had them in Tuya.
