What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?

Maybe the Nobel should have went to you.

No identifiers, so your social graph stays private.

Also has an independent security audit.

To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.

Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.

Not for KDE which aims to be good for beginners.

We want the US or some neutral party to investigate.

Do you see a problem with police investigating police misconduct as a problem?

Same idea here.

I use Linux in part because it makes building software easier.

It sounds like many of your problems could be fixed by installing kde plasma6 instead.

I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.

Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.

Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.

Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.

This comment betrays a technical misunderstanding.

Not only is it possible, but designing games from the ground up in this way makes it easier for developers to test and make robust software.

Mission failed successfully!

It is serious long term for 1/5 people.

COVID being no big deal is just a lie society agreed on for convenience.

Why would they believe that companies they grew up trusting would steal their content?

No one should grow up fully trusting any company to this extent.

I thought Apple was supposed to be so great? I guess they’re POS just like the rest of them.

Yes, exactly.

Its an alias, so no problem.

Chrome still uses WebKit.

The last time I looked at performance and energy benchmarks Firefox was winning.

I agree.

Imagine a world where Chrome doesn’t exist and instead Firefox + privacy preserving attribution is the default for all of the people who won’t listen to your reasons why they shouldn’t use chrome or say “I don’t need privacy, I have nothing to hide”.

It seems like Mozilla is trying to do the browser equivalent of shifting the overton window and I’m for that.

However I’ll be monitoring them very very closely.

I’ll have to come up with some examples and write something more detailed I think to explore this.

Until NixOS I was very in favor of language specific package managers and things like flatpak.
