It is a big deal how much the browser shares about you without people realizing. No one thinks about these things.
If you use a VPN on Spain you might think you’re safe but then your timezone is saying you’re in Ireland. You thought you were fooling them buy you really aren’t. You can’t outsmart fingerprint and I wish people made a bigger deal about this so actual solutions get implemented.
Sites like these raise awareness which is quite important.
The browser knows and shares way more than this… One of the worst offenders is the list of installed fonts. Pretty sure I stick out so hard just on that.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English
2·3 months agoFootball Manager 26 feels like a step backwards in usability. I always feel like I’m fighting the UI for basic tasks.
Nix has its place in the Linux ecosystem but I would never blindly recommend it to someone. It’s a niche distro for a niche set of people. This person is afraid the Linux quirks are too much for them and you throw them Nix. That’s an awful fit.
Try Linux Mint instead, which is a very user friendly distro.
I see Endeavour as Arch with sane defaults. They also use the Arch repos, if the distro dies I’m not really affected.

Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas PeriodEnglish
2·6 months agoI would be okay with defective controllers if Nintendo bothered to fix them. Through the entire lifespan of the console they sold controllers that would eventually drift. I own 3 pair of joy cons, they all drift. When sent for repair they were all deemed unrepairable, even those under warranty. That’s inexcusable.
In the new iteration of joycons they STILL don’t use TMR or hall effect sticks.
I don’t want to support this company.

11·6 months agoI bought the Switch 1 on launch and loved it, it was everything I was looking for on a console. However, every single joystick broke. I bought several joy con packs and they all drift heavily. Even the pro controller drifts. Nintendo Iberia refused to even repair them. They gave me the option to either replace them with a 20 euro discount or pay 20 euros for them to ship them back.
Awful product quality, awful support, zero accountability. Guess what, I’m spending my money elsewhere.

Linux•Pascal (GTX 1070) on Arch after NVIDIA 590... what’s the sane long-term path?
1·7 months agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but isn’t cachyos deploying the exact same solution? The only difference seems to be that their package manager offers to swap the packages.

Linux•Pascal (GTX 1070) on Arch after NVIDIA 590... what’s the sane long-term path?
2·7 months agoThese are the official drivers, it is just a pinned version that won’t be updated anymore. It should work as well as it did before the switcheroo.

Linux•Pascal (GTX 1070) on Arch after NVIDIA 590... what’s the sane long-term path?
2·7 months agoAMD cards have support directly in the Kernel, its usually plug and play. You just have to be careful about brand new cards (ie: released very recently) to ensure your distribution of choice has a new enough kernel and mesa.

4·7 months agoHave you tried the aur package mentioned in the Arch News? https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with wayland.
I’ve been excited to try this out but I don’t have the functionality yet.
No email service can refuse to obey the law. None.
Proton is at least non-profit now.

1·8 months agoI played a bunch of HoMM 3 but I don’t think I understood how to really play the game. That game is a lot more complex than it initially seems and it’s not trivial to me when to add new heroes, explore and split your units.
I like the rolling updates, to be honest. Endeavour has been a wonderful and simple experience. Aside from some NVIDIA issues with Wayland it has been a blast.




















This 3.8.x version has been a mess, it broke Final Fantasy VIII remastered for me.
Gonna have to try the beta branch, I’m afraid .
