Microsoft makes a hard distinction between Device-Bound and Synced passkeys inside of corporate tenants. They are in fact two different things that happen to be using the same FIDO standard, and can be stored alongside one another in the same app if it supports it.

Also KeePassXC with the browser plugins works a treat for synced passkeys.

Proton is packed with more functionality than wine (by nature of being a superset fork), and is wrapped in a much simpler box to open than Wine for the most part, so it gets a lot more praise and user adoption. I love wine and have used it for decades, but prefer Proton heavily at this point for games. I’ll still use wine for desktop apps though.

I imagine Lepton will eventually be super easy to install and get running compared to Waydroid, which I can also attest was a massive headache.

We never were, considering we are literally animals.

Not to piss in your cheerios, but I like this new design.

The logo is kind of mid but it integrates with modern themes better than before (I will miss the old logo).

It’s an absolute blessing that they picked Qt instead of GTK and I want to see more of this.

How do you feel about the color profiles on HDR, and the cursor/stylus sync, or any of the other changes they listed in this one as far as art goes?

This is a massive drop for artists isn’t it?

And now two! Touchpads work like a dream for me

Not sure how your clipboard is broken, it works using KDE connect. DeskFlow may need to work on implementing the Wayland bits.

Which they did.

I may not be a decent person, but I do have a discord channel called The Department of Degeneracy where we post dark, spicy, and doomer memes that would make grandma gasp and clutch her pearls.

“I’ve seen what makes you people cheer, your boos mean nothing to me.”

They think they’re beyond consequences and “it can’t happen to me, I’m the main character!”

This kind of pedantery is peak autism right here (hello fellow autist)

Sometimes. Most times they buy them to gut them for their patents. Fitbit and Pebble both probably had some patents that Google really wanted.

You missed 3 times in a row.

1. The 30% cut thing has been industry standard since the dawn of time. Valve goes out of its way to make exceptions to this rule down to 10% in cases of very high volume but everyone only talks about the 30 since thats all they hear about. Only an Epic Games apologist would parrot this as a talking point. Plus, developers are not getting nothing for that 30%, especially games that use Valve’s Steam networking services. Unlike Microsoft and Sony who also take 30% cuts, Valve doesn’t charge $10,000 per game patch to have someone review and approve it to be published.

2. The regional pricing goes both ways. There was literally a game recently users were complaining about NOT getting it because the publisher opted out or something, where the regional pricing would have made the game affordable but in USD (Valves country of origin and therefore default), it was exhorbitantly priced. And this one wasn’t even Valve’s fault.

3. Valve did not censor games directly on behest of the Australian nutjobs, they fought back against them pretty hard, but Valve is ultimately beholden to the payment processors (who they also pushed back on). Once Visa and MasterCard started threatening to pull services, Valve was put in a “comply or die” situation. If they didn’t do as they were told they wouldn’t be able to accept money with anything but Stripe or Bitcoin. They literally lost Paypal as a payment option over this fight.

I think its very dishonest of you to frame these points as enshittification. This term means the intentional degradation of a product or service for the sole motive of increasing profits. For point 1, the whole industry literally started off like that. For point 2, it was literally an attempt at equity (valve may not get the deltas correct but in some countries they’re losing money on games). And for point 3, you might be able to argue it but ultimately it wasn’t for profits so much as it was survival.

If you wanted to shitsling at Valve, you should have mentioned how Valve invented lootboxes in TF2 and then exacerbated the issue in CS:GO/CS2, releasing that awful plague onto the industry.

This happens to me when I run games sometimes in 4k at max settings, with a 7900XTX. So far I have not found anything that prevents it, and I’m starting to suspect my power supply or my house’s wiring might be the issue. It almost seems like a voltage sag.

Slavery’s gonna be back on the menu (explicitly, and I don’t mean wage slavery or prison slavery)

Everything is artificially inflated by 1.7x to 2.4x ever since covid. The inflation you are seeing is not real inflation but rather manufactured by those in high-up positions at most fortune-500 companies.

Browser+jellyfin is easy then, but again you need to make sure you’re not using google play services. That shit calls home like crazy.

With how KDE treats Plasma and their whole dev philosophy of “If we don’t use/like something, than neither will you”

How does anyone confuse the KDE team for the Gnome foundation? How did you manage to pull that off?
