Cute wolfgirl munching and you got me sold on this one, She seems like a based wholesome character.

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

#BattlefieldV #Linux #SteamDeck

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.

Next week, I'm excited to be joining the All Tech Is Human community (and you?) for a virtual conversation on #GovernableSpaces. This is a nice opportunity to get to know a growing network of folks working for a more excellent internet: linkedin.com/events/7181069573…


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/…
