Switch 2 should then be a much less of a hit than Switch. Already Steam Deck has proven to be a far better handheld gaming console.

As SSD is getting cheaper, I find myself keep thinking that I should buy a bigger one.

But this isn't really a decision based on actual need - and I can tell my mind is playing tricks to convince me that "you need to get it because what if you want to install a lot of large games".

I'm thinking may be a reasonable criteria instead is to see my current utilization, and buy one only if the utilization exceeds a percentage - say ">80% disk util=> buy a new one" as a rule?

What is your criteria to get a bigger disk?

Search for "how to install Firefox in Arch". Snapstore page which asks you to first install snap from AUR, and then install Firefox through Snap is the second entry, I kid you not!

And they have same pages for Fedora erc.

This predatory behavior is to try and get any potential new Linux users to use their crapstore instead of their distro's package is disgusting and malicious.

It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.

I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.

My goodness that's awesome. I never understood why they locked it down in the first place about a year ago. What changed?

[-] bankimu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Too expensive though.

There are people.

I don't quite believe it, but secretly hope that the metric is correct and it's indeed accelerating.

Linux desktop has been ahead of its competitors, both Mac and Windows, for a while now. While Windows keeps getting worse and worse.

And now all games run on Linux desktop too (except Destiny).

May be people are slowly realizing and catching on?

Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that's all the positives about it.

The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.

As I play Diablo 4, I see it take up ridiculous amount of VRAM, upwards of 20GB.

The game doesn't have very good control over VRAM management, and I think it just doesn't free up any loaded texture if the VRAM size is large.

I use Lutris to run Battle.net client and Diablo.

Is there any way I can limit VRAM available to it from Wine, DXVK, or Lutris?

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

The push towards app from mobile browser was insane. In the end they even made NSFW marked posts impossible to view in web browser. WTF.

Lemmy is also ad free. Love that.
