Battlefield V now broken on Steam Deck / Linux with EA anticheat live gamingonlinux.com/2024/04/batt…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

All EA is doing is ensuring I never buy another multiplayer game from them again. Hoping SW Battlefront II (2017) doesn't have EA anticheat added, as that's the only multiplayer game I still play made by them.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

thank you EA!

It's not like your games work great even if they are played directly on Windows, but thank you for making 100% sure we get the full EA experience on Linux.



I'll probably dump it in both issue trackers but what do you guys think, pipewire crashes when I'm capturing my display with the kde portal and I change the output of my monitor, then try to change my volume level

Is it a pipewire bug or a kde bug?

in reply to Brodie Robertson

Looks like it's actually wireplumber that's crashing, not pipewire itself
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I got a WirePlumber crash too yesterday when screencasting to Discord (Fedora 40 KDE). That was on 0.5.0 version of WirePlumber and I've got an update to 0.5.1 today. Didn't test it yet on newer version.

Could Fedora Workstation Go KDE Plasma!?! #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/isChogqh_lE
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Fortunately, KDE themes would be stripped access to your home directory before that? 🙂 Maintainers are quick on the uptake, and I would love to see what Plasma 6 has brought.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I'd expect the Plasma workspace to be at on top of GNOME in the long run.

That said, I'm not a fan of this idea, because Fedora would change a lot. Adding another option would mean creating questions. "Whats the best one?" for new users. It would create more testing. Let alone that I think Plasma is a horrible desktop >>for people that just want to have a working system<< (absolutely not in general) because of the "settings-ocean" with no clear design language.

Nextcloud remains 100% committed to open source and our current open source license.

From our company to our massive community, we're all deeply invested in the open source benefits, values and ideals!

Check out this clip exploring why Nextcloud chose the AGPL-3.0 as our open source license and how this license benefits the community as a whole:

Have you decided whether to test Nextcloud against the redict and/or valkey forks?

codeberg.org/redict/redict
github.com/valkey-io/valkey

Redict is LGPL, which should help protect against yet another anti-open-source relicensing. It's also hosted on codeberg, so not as subject to Microsoft's influence. Valkey has the weight of the Linux Foundation behind it. Any thoughts?



I feel so at home at Solidarity Hall—a rare community that understands the interconnections of theology, philosophy, and solidarity economies.

In their newsletter today, Elias Crim and I discuss my new book #GovernableSpaces: solidarityhall.substack.com/p/…

way to go! We need more science communicators. All BSc programs should have a mandatory course on science communication, just think if we could have mobilized all those graduates to communicate clearly to the press and their friends.

It would be good if we can sync our logseq/siyuan/(place other foss note app here) notes with our nextcloud server and search on them. Also it would be good to chat with our own notes with nextcloud's builtin AI (like notion's new Q&A feature)

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Thankfully that has only happened to me once (Dragons and Titans). Being late to the whole Steam thing, I started out buying a ton of games, and for a long time I maintained a consistent 50% of my Steam library unplayed.

I also try to play the oldest games first, so I have a few years of backlog. Plus I bought most of the games on sale, so already not the newest when I bought them.

Too bad with Dragons and Titans, of the three MOBAs I have (Dota 2, Awesomenauts and D&T), it was the one I liked the most.

utiliser la DGCCRF pour forcer les éditeurs a proposer une option 'private server', self histed, bien sûr, quand ils abandonnent une licence. Brillant ! Je signe ou ?
