Yeah the tooling sucks. The only tooling I’ve liked is Poetry, I never have trouble installing or packaging the apps that use it.

IMO they’re both good options. Afaik, Tuta has an open source backend, unlike Proton. However, Proton has had great recent independent security audits, and court orders against them have shown how little information they keep.

Proton offers more features and services, which also makes it a bit more expensive. I’ve used and like both, but right now I have a Proton Unlimited subscription because I like their drive, vpn, and password manager.

A lot of past Nintendo consoles have made pretty major changes to the hardware and operating system compared to other console manufacturers, which makes backwards compatibility less likely. The Wii U basically booted into the Wii operating system to play those games. I imagine getting Wii U games running on the Switch wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do, though certainly not impossible. We don’t know a ton about what changes the Switch successor will make, so it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility that it would be the same.

I know quite a few people that have quit through vaping, and even if they hadn’t, vapes are definitely better for their health than cigarettes.

They make vape cartridges that are used with a reusable battery. If disposable vapes were banned, they would become the more common option which is definitely better.

Fedora has pushed for the change by rebranding their immutable distros as Fedora Atomic Desktops, and these are likely the most popular immutable distros. Bazzite’s homepage also describes the distro as atomic, but never mentions the term immutable.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cant be interrupted because it happens in one step. This one of the big selling points of atomic or immutable distros. Your system will not be left in a broken state by cancelling an update because updates do not take multiple steps, unlike traditional distros.

Atomic in software refers to an operation that cannot be interrupted, like the updates in these distros. Immutable is a more confusing term, as it leads users to believe that cannot control parts of the system, when in reality these distros still have tools to do so.

I’d argue dedicating your personality to hating something is much weirder than being a fanboy of it, especially when that thing is a piece of technology nobody is forcing you to use.

Looking at the taskbar, they’re using Kitty which has tabs and splits, and they have a browser running.

The gaming mode is still the Steam Client. It’s just the big picture client which has built in additional features when used on a Steam Deck.

Lawyers tend to be honest to the people they’re being paid by.

As they said in the article, they are just listening to their lawyers. I would assume those lawyers are correct.

They’ve been focused on privacy for 10 years, before it was nearly as marketable.

You can get very high end office chairs incredibly cheap if you looks used. It’s not hard to all to find Steelcase Leaps and Herman Miller Aerons under $300 on Craigslist, eBay, FB Marketplace, or used office supply stores. I got my Steelcase Leap for $220 and it’s been going strong for over 5 years now.

This is a weird thread. Lots of complaints about lock in and companies managing your keys, both of which are easily avoidable, the exact same way you’d do so with your passwords.

What do you means by this? What part do you want to be open source? Passkey are just cryptographic keys, no part of that requires anything unfree. There’s aready an open source authentication stack you can use to implement them. You can store them completely locally with KeyPassXC for selfhost Vaultwarden to store them remotely. Both are open source?

And yet Nintendo files bogus copyright claims against emulators.

No problem. I do think they had it as an option before they made it the default whenever Proton is used

If you’re on the newest version you shouldn’t need to manually select anything to use UMU. You just need to be using a Proton runner as your Wine version. I’m using GE-Proton9-15 and I can see in the logs when watching a game that Umu is being used.
