Overall the game is nice, but it has this strange feature: game developers want to convince us that russian tanks are the best. When playing on ratings 4.0 - 5.0 more than half of all vehicles are T-34 and KV-1/2. That is enough to say that there is something wrong with it.


The #Linux Hardware Lemmy community I moderate is now the official one for the Linux Hardware Reddit too. Nice.

NO WAY YOU CANT DO SOMETHING IF ITS NOT SUPPORTED????
Are you trying to say that I can't use hardware accelerated AV1 just because my gpu doesnt support it? What happened to the good old days (when we were not able to use app if it was not developed for our specific hardware)

I keep thinking that this isn't such a bad idea!


New study backs up anecdotal evidence that video conference meetings can take a toll on participants


The study, performed at an Austrian University, sought to determine whether videoconferencing led to fatigue on a brain level.

It defined that fatigue as โ€œsomatic and cognitive exhaustion that is caused by the intensive and/or inappropriate use of videoconferencing tools.โ€ Videoconferencing tools include platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Webex.

Hereโ€™s my #SteamYearInReview

s.team/y23/cfrjgj?l=english

These always leave me with so many questions. And this year, with the #SteamDeck, I have even more.

Like, they said I played on two devices: Steam Deck and Linux. Thatโ€™s kinda weird, right?

Also, they donโ€™t count offline play time, which is probably the majority of my gaming time this year because of the Deck. Almost one hour every work day Iโ€™m on my Steam Deck playing in offline mode.

At any rate, whatever, hereโ€™s my shit, judge me.

The most insane comment is: github.com/probonopd/wayland-xโ€ฆ

Basically "Nah, securing one end isnt worth is, because other attack vectors exist. So lets make it insecure by default, because I dont care and so should you. Others can figure it out later"



Had some time to think about this more. Today's @Flipboard news is substantial and I can't wait for this ActivityPub integration to become widely available, especially for publishers and content creators.

I should write more about this in a blog post, but wanted to plop down some quick thoughts.

As @mike pointed out, it's a break down of the walled garden of content. This hopefully creates greater exposure/promotion of Magazines, and maybe even Storyboards.

Flipboard is making its entire platform fediverse-compatible, allowing anyone on any fediverse platform (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, and eventually Threads) to follow content shared there. #Technology theverge.com/2023/12/18/240060โ€ฆ


I think that fully integrating #ActivityPub into Flipboard's backend is going to be one of the best things we've done since we started the company.

There are three phases:

Phase 1 (Today): Federate 25 accounts to test and learn

Phase 2 (January): Enable anyone in the Fediverse to engage with any public curator on Flipboard

Phase 3 (April): Enable anyone on Flipboard to follow and engage with any public account in the #Fediverse

It is so, so nice to be gearing up to promote an open-access book. Totally different than the past rodeos. At no point to do I have to optimize for pre-orders, bookstore sales, or gd-forbid Amazon. Just running around trying to get ideas that I think are important out there.

Just saying. Most sites are like this, you actually click through, and it's a loooong list of companies.

The web is terrible without adblocks now. It's everywhere, some sites it's literally every other paragraph, and then a video that appears over content and more.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

This reminds me of how a lot of sites block you if you're using a VPN now; especially predatory sites like Facebook, Reddit & LinkedIn.
