I’ll take the L on this one. It’s a combination of the article only using the screenshot of the first view as evidence and me late night posting on Lemmy while falling asleep via NyQuil.

It’s because SteamOS identifies itself as Arch. Omitting this information is either dishonest or uninformed.

Anecdotally, more of my techy friends are at least entertaining the thought of switching to Linux when they never did before. Great job, Microsoft!

The cheat in this case would send legitimate actions. Like maybe you, the human, would have missed the headshot, but your cheat corrected to the inputs that would have landed one.

It’s also got great VOIP functionality. And it’s been a hot minute since I’ve used IRC, but you can automate tons of things in Discord around things like user roles. I play an old fighting game that has no ranked system, and all of that functionality, including running weekly tournaments, is handled by a Discord bot that runs on a Raspberri Pi.

Based on their web page, I think what you’re paying for is not having to learn how to configure this stuff.

I haven’t had any problems here. From what I can tell, it just hands all the input and display off to your configured emulator of choice once you make the selection, so once you boot the game, it’s however you’ve got that emulator configured.

This is not just a Lemmy problem, as the same thing exists in Reddit, too, but crowd-sourced news sites like these are so problematic at their core that it got me to buy a news subscription to NYT. No, it is not news that JD Vance told his kid to “shut the hell up”.

I still haven’t figured out why people like them except to annoy everyone around them by playing the audio through their phone speakers.

It’s still funded by ads and governed by algorithm recommendations, right? Even if they had perfect moderation, which is difficult to decide on anyway, it’s still got the same incentives as Twitter, which means it will inevitably become Twitter. They want you to spend more time on it to make more money, so they show you things most likely to get a reaction out of you, which means they’re showing you things designed to get you angry and respond. Mastodon is much nicer for giving everyone equal billing and allowing you to modify that by following people you want to hear from most.

Quick, up to the minute updates from sources you want to be sure you hear from. That could be a YouTuber, a musician, a public transit service, or whatever.

Right, I’m familiar with what performance looks like when the shaders aren’t compiled, but is it still the very visible and tangible issue that it was back when Proton first came out, when playing a game through Heroic/GOG? If so, do modern enough games relieve the issue by having the shader compilation step within the game itself?

And as for the distribution of those codecs, does Heroic handle that automatically? Or if I have a version of Proton-GE, does it know to use that version when applicable?
