Actually yeah. Completely useless intermediaries just leeching other peoples money.

Basically all linux distros have a keyboard shortcut menu where you can add scripts and programs that do whatever you need. I have only used AHK once long ago, so i dont remember all that it does, but isnt that just all it is basically. The thing that makes AHK easy for people is all the publicly available scripts people made and published, not the application itself.

Some apps need to use lots of battery to do their jobs, like GPS and sensor loggers that poll the status every second or more often. Or apps that need to keep some files 100% live synced across the internet within seconds.

They also had to correct their results last month for some reason. I think they are just having issues with their surveys rn. Also there were multiple 30+ minute steam network outages in Europe in the past few days. Europe is definitely the majority of linux steam users so that might be related.

I know you are looking into editing the files, but you can probably also do this with live filters with something like easyeffects.

If the mod code itself is open, i dont see why not. There are lots of open source projects that are used in conjunction with closed source stuff, like custom wrappers or security research tools.

That works too of course :) Welcome to the world of linux!

To enable flatpak in Discover go to its settings page and at the bottom click “install flatpak backend” or something like that. Then when thats done you need to enable “flathub” on the same page as the package source for flatpak. You might have to restart in between or after these steps if it doesnt show up.

Only “flatpak” though, not “snap” because that sucks.

The previous record was actually Hades 2 which surprised me too.

I got super lucky and got a 6950XT for free so now im set for another 5-10 years if nothing breaks. Well i say lucky, but i inherited it because someone close to me died…

I went with AM4 because it was looking quite future proof back 10 years ago when i initially bought a Ryzen 1700. I upgraded from a 2700X to a 5800X3D last year and from 16 to 32GB of RAM. So yeah i definitely got lucky with the timing and with how long AMD kept making better CPUs for AM4.

At this point getting used and or partially damaged hardware to salvage parts is really a valid option.

Idk but apparently the dev of tuwunel was a dick about the fork splitting.

Im confused by this list. It includes the matrix server implementations synapse and continuwuity, but not matrix itself or any of its clients. The only matrix client that could reasonably replace discord is element but its not even there.

The initial release was literally 7 HOURS ago so its not really recommendable yet at all. Idk why it keeps getting spammed here today.

Stoat has been around for 5 years and used to be called Revolt until recently.

Neither are e2ee or federated so not particularly future proof or enshittification resistant unless you self host (which most people dont…)

I see. I havent selfhosted any matrix servers yet, so i havent looked into it too much. But yeah its kind of an intimidating process to set these up when i look at the guides. I know that there are a few server implementations besides synapse that are mature and stable (and supposedly much more resource efficient) and they do support docker deployment. All of these including synapse can however be run on a raspberry pi so there isnt really any big requirements other than keeping it up to date and doing backups of your databases.

I admit i mostly use matrix as an instant messenger, but it works fine for when i need comms with my friends while gaming or when i want to share my screen for something. My university also has its own deployment so all the people around me automatically have an account anyway, which makes it easy to set up groupchats.

Sure it still has some jank to it, but if you look at how janky it used to be even just a year ago, the trajectory is pretty clear to me. Its a very ambitious project that arguably tried to do too much at once in its early days, but i think its here to stay and its only gonna get better. If its not good enough for you today, then just wait another year or two until it is. Its not going away because its being used basically everywhere at this point. Government, healthcare, military, university, private industry, schools, etc.

Also completely new with no other contributors. Stay the fuck away from this until its been in development for a while and someone reviewed the code.

then you can use matrix

Been using it for a while and it works quite well for what it is. It also overlays the translated text on the original image which is nice. The translation engine is the exact same one as the one in firefox and its forks, so dont expect deepl levels but its still perfectly fine for most casual use cases.
