Ubuntu version numbers are very easy to track against the years, because they are the years. Ubuntu 8.X was released in 2008. If it was 2010 it would have been Ubuntu 10.X.
I’m kind of an anti-purist. Give me an emulator with save states and rewind, a scalefx filter and whatever other nonsense. Add on the convenience of emulators and it’s no contest for me.
I think part of it is a discovery problem. Which, I know, I don’t want some algorithm telling me what content to look at, but it’s tough to find all the stuff I’m interested in just by searching.
Also out of the loop here, but is the plan for Cassia to truly function as Wine does and only handle system calls, or are they also going to include an x86 emulator?
This paid vs open source thing is silly. They are not antonyms. You can still charge for an open source app. But being open source would make it user auditable so that we know what they are doing with our data.
The point is that with a closed source app your only support for that statement is trust in the developer, while if it was open source we would actually be able to confirm that.
That’s just not what really happens though. Look at Robert Broglia’s emulators. They are open source and paid, and are some of the most popular paid emulators on the play store despite the fact that people could just download the source from his site and compile them.
You’d have to ask the developer, but it seems like they did not understand the license they released it under. They complained of people “plagiarizing” their source code after releasing it under the MIT license, which allows people to take the source and use it however they want.
According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2%...
You don’t need to know how to code certainly. If you choose a “fire and forget” distro like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc… the only thing you would really run into any challenge with is running Windows software. Games are pretty well handled by Steam/Proton at this point, but other Windows software like, say, Word or the Adobe suite can be a challenge. If you’re okay with using alternatives (libreoffice, darktable, gimp) you’ll be fine.
I’m baffled by how poorly Diablo 4 handles “mediocre” connections. I have been using T-Mobile Home Internet for a while and I’m even able to stream GeForce Now reasonably well, but I run into lag spikes on Diablo 4.
I can pretty well track my performance issues to network performance. If I play in the morning when TMHI is performing better I don’t see any issues, while in the evening when the network is congested I run into lag.
The steam deck controls are honestly too important for me to consider anything else. The fact that I can play mouse and keyboard games with no issues is huge.
To be honest it goes beyond that. The steam input customization is major. Like the fact that I can take a mouse and keyboard action RPG and assign the left stick to move around just like it had controller support.
It’s been major for me with RVing. I guess I could have used a gaming laptop but given the limited “table” space in an RV the handheld formfactor is a major advantage. That plus the minimal power requirements - I don’t need to factor it in to our off-grid time at all, while a 200W gaming laptop would definitely be noticable.
I also just prefer it for home. Sitting on the couch, in bed, whatever. I find it comfortable to play on.
Odd ask, I know, but is there a way to make a “multi-community” view? To give you a specific example, I am looking at Steam Deck communities and there are two pretty active communities on two different instances. Is there a way to create a view that shows me posts from both (but not just generally merging all my subscribed...
Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it....
Certainly if media is not available for purchase I have no problem with people pirating it. But also if it’s not available in a reasonably accessible format. For example, I wanted to show my son the original TMNT show. I would have happily bought it on Vudu, Amazon or Play Movies, but it’s only available on iTunes. I have all Android devices and don’t even have a personal Windows device, so I would need to jump through serious hoops to get it working if I bought it.
Sync or something idk I use the web interface (lemm.ee)

How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
