You should try the Shimmer userchrome tweaks along with the Sideberry extension. With both of them it’s even better than Zen IMO.

A compatibility layer like Wine is not a replacement for a true sandbox. Although Wine may have some basic sandboxing capabilities, the default wine configuration grants access to your home directory, which something like ransomware could take advantage of.

Chromebooks are locked down yes, but they do give you the keys. It involves unplugging the internal battery to be able to modify the hardware write protection, entering dev mode to disable the write protection, and then flashing a Coreboot port onto the firmware. Even then, a lot of basic things may or may not work once you’re booted into Linux. From experience I don’t recommend.

Installing Linux bare onto a Chromebook involves unplugging the internal battery (or buying a cheap special USB thing) to disable the hardware write protection and flashing a custom BIOS. Some models have issues with basic things like sound output not working through speakers or headphones or both. From experience I don’t recommend.

If you still really want to though there are two websites that are really useful and should have up to date information.

Database server had a kernel panic (crashed). You can get status updates from the telegram channel.

I just cloned the existing rule for Elden Ring as a custom rule, but changed the extension to match the co-op save.

I don’t know about other people, but the only thing I don’t like about Signal is that it is centralized. It seems to be the only option to actually get everything right for security though from what I hear.

Old games don’t use “HDR” the same way we use it today. In old games, enabling HDR makes the lighting calculations in the game engine have infinite range which will then be mapped onto SDR colorspace, which is all software and very much supported in Linux.

If anything the screenshots show a gamma calibration issue. From my experience on Linux native Team Fortress 2, the in-game gamma slider does not do anything.

I’m on a 4770k and GTX 980 as well but I’m really feeling the pain because all the newer games I want to play are CPU bottlenecked.

Enable the optional filter lists in ublock origin.

Assuming USA:

The software can absolutely be declared illegal under DMCA and has already been done to the DVD decrytion software DeCSS. Nintendo would just have to convince the courts that the primary purpose of the software is to circumvent their DRM, and I doubt any lawyer would want to defend that when circumventing copy protection is absolutely happening.

Relevant DMCA passage:

Section 1201(a)(2) of the Copyright Act, part of the DMCA, provides that:

"No person shall . . . offer to the public, provide or otherwise traffic in any technology . . . that—

"(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act];

"(B) has only limited commercially significant purpose or use other than to circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act]; or

“(C) is marketed by that person or another acting in concert with that person with that person’s knowledge for use in circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under [the Copyright Act].”

How much of the “coins” actually go to the artists and writers?

His actual computer related stuff has good advice in it but a lot surrounding that advice is indeed pretty sus or extrapolates to clownish end analysis. Like Ford patenting a speeding snitcher to put in their cars that reports other nearby speeding vehicles to the police is going to lead to the end of non-autonomous driving. I wonder if “car dependency” means anything to him. Just engage with it critically.

They want to get to the equivalent of vim’s :

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

My first thought to “adjusting the price to reflect 2024 reality” was a price increase…

I use a PS5 controller connected through an 8bitdo USB adapter 2. It works great and has a much more stable connection compared to the bluetooth adapter I used to use. I’ve had no issues using it in xinput mode on Linux; games pick it up as a normal xbox controller and just work. The adapter also works great for bringing your own contoller to friends’ houses for any console party games without having to do the bluetooth pairing roundup minigame. The only real issues I have with it is that there’s no auto disconnect when it’s idle, and as you mentioned the firmware flashing tools are all Windows only.

Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that’s the same situation it is on Windows.
