2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. Better? Hell no, unless you can root it and install a custom ROM.

Bazzite founder might shutdown whole project if Fedora drops support for 32 bit packages in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

The only notable thing about Bazzite is that it's built on top of Fedora Atomic, making it immutable like SteamOS.

Without that, it's just a regular old distro with some opinions about which software should be preinstalled.

Wouldn't the Steam Flatpak still work?

Throwing a tantrum isn't how to get what you want. This is a common behavior in the OSS world from wannabe BDFLs. Linus Torvalds or Guido van Rossum earned that title through merit, not through the simple luck of your side project going viral.

Bazzite is just Fedora Atomic with some extra preinstalled software. If it dies, it'll hurt the community of Linux gamers who picked it for whatever reason, but it won't make Fedora maintain 32 bit packages forever.

What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don't care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.

Monster Hunter Wilds currently rated "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam in c/[email protected]

I never preorder games, but I was going to for this one until I tried the demo and saw it was buggy and laggy.

Monster Hunter is a legit awesome and addicting (in a good way) series. This latest one is a dud, but pretty much every game in the series has been a certified banger.

MH: Generations is the pinnacle of classic MH. Rise is the newest classic-style game, but it's very modernized. The modern games aren't bad, they're just different.

Anyone know why the Signal app isn't available on F-Droid? Isn't it supposed to be open source?

This is why grammar is important, and "grammar nazis" are the only good kind of nazis.

I think it went like this:

  • Linux is highly customizable
  • customizing or "ricing" your Linux machine became a hobby
  • weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
  • some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
  • gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
  • gay/trans programmers who didn't get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
  • Rust was invented

So you see, it's just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn't clearly labeled on the internet.

Can anyone get noclip.website to work? (noclip.website)

Hi, recent firefox refugee here, and I'm trying to figure out how to get webgl fully working. I already disabled webgl.disabled in about:config, and that seems to have done the trick for most webgl content.

However, the site noclip.website doesn't work. It's basically a 3D model viewer for game maps, and all I get is a black screen. This site works fine in Firefox on this same machine.

I'm using LibreWorld 135.0.1-1 Flatpak on Linux

Thanks!

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)
 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
