They could still blacklist certain entries, it’s nog like they don’t have that control. Bazzite just launched its own alternative to Discover called Bazaar that hides things like the Steam flatpak that will fluff your day up. Whether the DE should be doing that sort of moderation is another question entirely, but I think the answer is clear if it’s a straight up scam.

I believe if you tell the downloader you have a Nvidia 10-series card then it’ll give you proprietary drivers that still work on newer cards. I have a 10-series and haven’t had these issued fwiw.

That doesn’t mean it’s good they’re deprecating cards to do it. They were still selling GT1030s new until relatively recently, and the GTX1080 is a perfectly workable card.

If you think open versions are cool, how about them just open-sourcing the Maxwell & Pascal drivers? Oh, that’s right, they won’t because the “special sauce” is in the driver, not the card BIOS like it is for the Turing & up families.

What’s TDE?

Is this a reference to the most recent pewdiepie video? lmao

This isn’t how you get non-tech gamers to* switch to Linux and honestly, this attitude needs to die. Do you want Windows to always dominate? Because this is how you get Windows to always dominate.

New users find the terminal very intimidating, I’ve seen that come up time and again. It’s kind of the whole point of Bazzite.

If you’re already learning terminal to install software though, at that point you can use a distrobox, install whatever you want in it, and then export the application to your usual application menu. It’ll launch the container in the background when you start the application, and shut it down automatically too. It’s a little slower than a usual launch but it’s still just a stripped down container so it’s fine.

Or, hear me out, you could install Bazzite and avoid all those terminal steps that are intimidating for new, non-tech savvy linux users.

I think you’re seeing the wrong causation when it comes to enshittification. FOSS licenses prevent that sort of thing from happening. Linux is already, by far and away, the most popular server OS so consumers moving to it isn’t going to make it worse.

I dunno, maybe be less of a hipster bestie?

Oh absolutely, it really upsets me that they never dropped the prices down after covid supply issues were resolved. They were really proud of being accessible price-wise once upon a time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The power constraints are more important to most than the size constraints honestly.

OBDII exists and is reasonably open.

Your monitor always needs to be plugged into the graphics card. If you plug it in via the motherboard, then your GPU is doing nothing, as it can’t backfeed to that motherboard connector. CPUs often have their own graphics built-in, and that’s what yours would have been using instead.

It is when you use a private tracker and disable DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange.

Yeah it’s a little strange. Swift is Apple’s own programming language, and there was an older Jellyfin app on iOS that didn’t use it and so wasn’t fully “native” in a similar way to how most social media apps are just a web browser.

There is a native Apple TV app, I didn’t migrate from plex until there was and I migrated over 18 months ago. It’s called Swiftfin.

I’m not behind a CGNAT and that’s completely free. I do pay for that IP to be static though, but that’s only ~$6.50/month (USD).

You’re right, I misspoke with the term anonymous, it’s actually pseudononymous the same as Lemmy or Reddit are. It’s not like there is a published index of names to wallet addresses.

That’s the point I was making. In Australia, wire transfers through your bank are free, attached to a phone number or email address (rather than account numbers), almost always instantaneous and 24/7.

Not really. Zelle seems to just be US banks implementing the payment and bank-to-bank transfer systems that other countries already have. Except, at least for Australia with our ‘Osko’ system it has the involvement of our Reserve Bank and is mandated to be supported universally, whereas Zelle is completely private. The traditional lack of that bank-to-bank transfer ability is why apps like Venmo and Cash App have been popular in the US, which I think explains why Zelle has had an app until last month, as consumers expect that, even though it’s owned by the major US banks.

Taler on the other hand seems to be “What if crypto but with fiat currency and also the recipients aren’t anonymous”.
