I’m literally scared of disassembling stuff over like plastic clips while people just feel ok with ramming stuff in like that wha

i was asking about the passkeys specifically tho, not the biometric auth part of it
linux only supports hardware security keys like yubikey, not on-device passkeys atm

hdr support is coming tho

• steamos already has it iirc (well, specifically gamescope)

• kde 6 has experimental hdr support with wayland session

• cosmic de devs promised hdr support in the first public stable release

what i really miss is passkeys (specifically, using tpm2 to store them like windows hello does)

that’s why I’ve been doing most of my gamedev stuff on an old craptop from 2016.
performance issues become apparent immediately

until it violently shits itself

or fiddle with the vm/swappiness value

or…

Upgrade to Enterprise (upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)

in gpo editor:

• Set updates to Manual
• set the telemetry level to “Security” in group policy (iirc can also be called “Compliance”). This only works on Enterprise.
• opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
• disable copilot and integrated bing search

do a full reboot

try Poweramp, it’s paid but it costs like 10 cents and comes with a 3 day trial (no subscriptions or other bs)
definitely the most feature packed player with no competition

idk if it’s optional why bother typing it

tbh i think “master” terminology is only bad if paired with “slave”. the word itself kinda just lost it’s original meaning
but I don’t really care about git’s change. im only using master out of habit

the article is wrong anyway, better just watch this video instead

8 is enough if you’re not multitasking too much
wanna play a game? close absolutely everything except maybe discord (if you need it), but keep it in the tray
wanna look sth up while playing? don’t forget to close the browser afterwards

Copilot Chat

yeah you need to mess around with snappiness to avoid that
(so either increase it to make it unload stuff to hdd earlier, leaving more ram for critical stuff, or decrease it to like 5 in order to make it only use swap when absolutely needed) basically just mess around with it and see what value works best. i my case 10-15 works more or less okay-ish under full ram load

well I’m using lower-ish-level stuff like wgpu a lot, so there’s a lot of repeated code in my codebase with only small variations, but I can’t really encapsulate it into anything since all of my pipelines are completely different and have different requirements (it’s basically already as encapsulated as it gets without limiting freedom)

don’t get the negativity towards copilot in other comments.
it’s a really smart autocomplete, and this is exactly what i wanted for the past 5 years.
(yeah it’s not going to replace programmers or whatever people’s exaggerated opinions of it are)

wanna quickly create a wgpu bind group?
let texture_bind_group = <tab> <tab> and it’s smart enough to understand the context and pull in texture and texture sampler that are already defined as local variables.

too lazy to type this obvious thing in?
(like of course the next opcode islet op = self.fetch();) just press tab and move on with your life.

wanna quickly refactor something?
select, ask CP Chat to “replace all if statements with match”, check if it’s correct and click confirm (it will even show git-style diffs, so it’s hard for something unexpected to slip in)

it’s not perfect, and it’s suggestions do not match your intention like 50% of the time but when they do match or your intention is REALLY obvious (like you already wrote a clear and concise variable name and need to complete the value), you’re a single keypress away from completing those 2 lines of code

It’s not a total deal breaker but it’s definitely very useful. (especially for me, because of my very short attention span. unless i can quickly complete a thing I’m currently working on in less than a minute i will forget about the next 10 things I was thinking of doing)

also i don’t believe the price is justified, but it’s free for students so of course I’m gonna use it.

(you just need to verify your student email and upload a photo of your student id on education.github.com, and you get a free gh copilot subscription, gh pro account, priority support and promos on loads of services like heroku etc while you’re a student)

never had issues with gnome on my laptop with 4 gbs of ddr3, actually it’s pretty smooth even while running from an 8 year old 5200rpm hdd, even with all the animations and stuff enabled.
freezes a bit while loading icons in the app menu for the first time after boot but it’s really usable once everything gets cached to ram.

I’m still using 8 for gaming and stuff
(i built my pc in 2021 and don’t see a huge reason to upgrade it yet except modded Minecraft/skyrim)

… even though vulkan offers decent gpu compute support nowadays

passkeys?
no need to use the 4 digit pin every single time.
