It’s a ~5 years old thinkpad. It may be due to it not being well managed but it really disn’t up to the task. Being in a Teams call while using an external displays makes the framerate drop to ~10fps for example 🤷

Also, I don’t get how people just accept that any input they perform will require an average of 1s for feedback.

But at least now I understand why macs are so popular…

What a big pile of shit software, I swear I’m just gonna quit because of this ass smelling garbage.

Today I discovered that C:/Users/MyUser was silently an alias of C:/Users/OneDriveBullshit/MyUser only in the explorer. So I just figured out why some documents were often disappearing for months, I’m just working on a multiverse were depending on the application the same path don’t lead to the same folder.

Earlier this week I unzipped a file and couldn’t remove resulting files without administrator privileges.

I’ve never lost so much time for any fucking software, let alone a paid one. And don’t even get me starting on the fucking ads they put everywhere even if you unchecked the 154 options in 42 different menus.

About Intel catching up I might add that even if it proves to be true, this was not something that seemed to be expected. Valve might have been working on IR for a few years now?

Yeah I agree, package it once and let the community do the remaining work. I believe that’s how steam was introduced to Linux, I don’t now where we are currently.

I’d say it depends if you are a technical user or not.

On my rather old FP3 it spares me a few seconds per page load and the result seems quite comparable to dark reader.

Thanks! I was missing the desktop site trick 👍

How did you install it on mobile? Do you need to use the nightly?

I think it can be disabled, in the screenshot from the articles there is a “AI chatbots” toggle

Yeah, my first question when I saw the title was “how do you even gather this data?”. It’s actually pretty cool as steam probably has rather reliable data in its own niche.

Yeah that’s fair enough. But I have to say it’s still frustrating seeing everyone investing so much money on this exact same feature. I’m not sure we have had time to figure out how people use this, everyone is just frightened to be left behind.

What other red flags do you have in mind?

Maybe with zRAM and a bit of swap it could run quite ok 🤷

Steam, my Steam library and Proton could disappear. But at least it will have supported a big traction in the ecosystem : Wine, DXVK, Lutris, Heroic Launcher, Bazzite, etc… are all open source projects (so they can’t really disappear) that have never moved as fast as they are today.

Introducing Windows …

I’m not a KDE user but thinks looks very relevant!

But the future is inevitable, isn’t it better to be less pessimistic and attempt to be prepared for it instead of just waiting?

It’s not like I hate it but it felt like a review target for a specific audience and with little journalistic work. I was a bit disappointed because he is often refered to be one of the most serious and unbiaised tech reviewers on the internet.

But yeah, that was a first impression indeed.

I think there was some ethical drama in his company a while ago, which might have been recently answered 🤷‍♂️

I personally didn’t like the very few videos I saw of him, it looked like g@mer consumerist obsessions. The latest I saw was about the last Fairphone release and he was very critical about what I’d call very reasonable design choices, like capping the screen to 60Hz instead of max 90 by default, or having to turn the phone off to swap SD card. This video felt like it was not an honest criticism or intended to a very niche audience (eg. hot swapping SD cards might be critical in the eyes of someone producing video content).
