Great to see another map with satellite images, besides Google Maps and Microsofts Bing Maps.

Now they just have to stop blocking Linux based on the user agent. If I set it to Firefox on Windows, it works, but not if set UA to Linux. A major feature of browsers is that web devs don't have to care about the underlying OS...

This proves that AC Oddysey runs faster on Linux than on Windows with your specific hardware. What this doesn't mean is that "Linux gaming is faster and smoother than Windows gaming".

Counter examples are Overwatch, CS:2, GTA V and many more.

Nobody reasonable doubts that Linux can perform as good or better than Windows, but claiming that this is true for all games is simply misinformation.

Wrong general claims like these lead to posts asking why their specific games run worse on Linux since they switched because they want more fps.

Don't get me started on older GPU's like 1000 series Nvidia that have problems with any vkd3d games so the performance is abysmal.

Why is it not enough that almost all games work on Linux with ±15% performance difference?

It's sad to see companies threatening completely legal projects, knowing that the volunteering developers don't have the time and money to win a lawsuit against a large company with lawyers. It's nothing less than bullying volunteers, or similar to SLAPP suits.

Edit: typo

Our Xamarin app is a bit sluggish and uses a lot more resources on your device than you might expect.

Especially on my slower phone, the Bitwarden UI feels like it would shortly freeze. And some actions take longer than expected.

The new native apps with a new UI look great and should be better to use.

Using Linux means DRM protected content either plays in terrible quality or in RakutenTV's case not at all. Netflix is limited to 720p with low bitrate and Amazon limits to ~540p.

Changing user agent doesn't work because it's the DRM who decides whether the OS is supported.

Linux users have to decide between low quality legal streaming services, or piracy with high quality. It's not a difficult decision for me and my giant HDD.

Edit: I forgot the third option: streaming sticks (Roku, FireTV).

"Vielleicht habe ich es etwas übertrieben, aber das Land und seine Politik treibt mich dazu."

Natürlich sind die anderen an seinen Aussagen schuld. Kann man das überhaupt Ausrede nennen?

YouTube changed something about their API to break 3rd party apps again. youtube-dl is also broken, but they've found the issue already, so it'll likely be fixed after a while.

GrayJay and YouTube ReVanced still work in meantime.

This. The blue line is the watched progress and the orange line is the transcoding progress.

Luckily Steam will keep Duck Game in my library, but I dread the moment Valve leadership changes. Steam has existed for 20 years, and I naively hope I'll still be able to play my games in 40 years on my Steck Deck.

Being able to play game from a single library simultaneously is awesome and how it should've been from a usability perspective.

Sadly this change will make it impossible to simply share games with someone specifically, since it's now required to be in the same Family Share, which is a strong commitment. For sharing games in a single friend group, this change won't change much (unless someone still wants to share with their family). The changes make game sharing work more like intended, in other words family share.

Some Highlights:

• A new component "systemd-bsod" has been added to show logged error messages full-screen if they have a "LOG_EMERG" log level. This is intended as a tool for displaying emergency log messages full-screen on boot failures. Yes, BSOD in this case short for "Blue Screen of Death". This was worked on as part of Outreachy 2023. The systemd-bsod will also display a QR code for getting more information on the error causing the boot failure.

• Hibernation into swap files backed by Btrfs are now supported.

• Support for split-usr has been removed.

There's two reasons why r/linux is popular on Reddit:

1. Reddit is popular
2. r/linux is popular

Agreed. Being able to customize all elements of the top bar is one of the great things about Firefox.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to remove newly added elements. Even the "Open a new tab" button can be removed, as well as the recently added "View recent browsing across windows and devices" button.

On Firefox Android after ~100 tabs the amount is replaced with ∞.

Zuerst will die FDP "gar nicht regieren, anstatt falsch zu regieren". Dann regiert sie ein paar Jahre später doch, um sich dann nach Löchern im Bundeshaushalt zu verdrücken.

Wer sollte diese Partei denn sonst noch ernst nehmen? Als Oppositionspartei finden sich sicherlich ein paar Doofe, die gegen die eigenen Interessen wählen.

1337x.to works well too. If you use a website translator, like Firefox Translate, rutracker is great too.

Otherwise, private torrent sites (e.g. TorrentLeech) are the best addition to Usenet.

Keeping ratio is pretty easy if you set up Cross-Seed. It finds torrents matching your local files (e.g. Usenet downloads) and adds them to your torrent client without using additional space or downloading them again.

After 15 to 20 years of 64bit supporting systems being sold, I don't think it's an issue to drop 32bit support. Even if someone wants to use such an old pc for any reason, it should be fine to run an older version of Minecraft. There's still MC 1.8 servers around, and they'll likely continue to exist for many years to come.

One always has to be suspicious of Mozilla these days.

As far as I know Mozilla never lied on technical details, at worst they didn't know about wrongdoings by their partners and acted once known about.

The translation being done locally is advertised and should be simple to check with it being open-source. It also has to download for a while on first use, as well as translations take a considerable amount of time depending on the hardware. E.g. for larger sites it takes a short while until the last paragraph shows up as translated.

The I/O size is a reason why it's better to use cp than dd to copy an ISO to a USB stick. cp automatically selects an I/O size which should yield good performance, while dd's default is extremely small and it's necessary to specify a sane value manually (e.g. bs=1M).

With "everything" being a file on Linux, dd isn't really special for simply cloning a disk. The habit of using dd is still quite strong for me.

Even if my screen broke I'd go with official instead of higher resolution, because of the performance penalty. Many games I play are already at low framerates, so sacrificing performance for resolution isn't worth it.
