I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.

The war began after Hamas fighters raided Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and abducting 253 hostages according to Israeli tallies.

That's not when the war began.

Yep. Windows or Mac. Typical corporate IT spyware isn't even available on Linux.

People in the privacy community need to get over the unrealistic dream that regular people will adopt Matrix when we can't even get them to use Signal. The only way Matrix will have mass adoption is through getting a lot of corporate clients. Then the workers might choose to use it personally too after being familiar with it.

Meh, when you have a chip that powerful and that energy efficient, trying something in wearable computing is a no brainer imo.

I keep LinkedIn telling myself it's necessary to find a job but I don't think I've ever gotten a job from LinkedIn, now that I think about it.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? by headroom in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don't think you will ever be able to use Wayland on Nvidia without enabling modesetting which sounds like you haven't.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel? by headroom in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Can you go and buy an ARM CPU and build a desktop system with it?

Yes iPhones are secure but not private. The two are related but different concepts. I'm not sure what exactly your friend is referring to though.

My experience with Nvidia had been mostly seamless (although, laptops could be performing worse) up until recently when everything started bursting into flames. Electron applications are nuts, steam store doesn't even render, multiple game broke down fully. I can't even find any other use reports.

I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

EA games launched through Steam are borked (lemmy.ml)

Ever since the issue with Apex not launching was fixed, I'm not able to play any EA games with Steam Proton.

Apex, which doesn't launch through the EA app flickers immensely on Fullscreen and Borderless Window. Flicker goes away when windowed, but the GPU utilization regularly goes down for a few seconds, dropping the FPS.

Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 5: I get an EA app screen that says "Preparing Game" which exits after about 1 minute (I think steam is timing it out).

Proton logs show some errors about not being able to load a few DLLs but research on the internet points to them not being relevant.

I have tried on all combinations of below:

  • Hyprland, KDE, and Gnome. All Wayland.
  • NVIDIA 545 and 550
  • Linux-zen 6.7 and 6.8
  • Arch Linux and NixOS
  • Proton 7 through Proton Experimental as well as GE 9.1 and 9.2

I don't get people claiming stock iPhone is private. We literally have very little idea. It's a closed system. It's private if you take Apple's word but all the other manufacturers also have similar claims. Why trust Apple and not them?

On top of that you end up locked into their ecosystem, unable to use most FOSS applications or have cut down versions of them because daddy Apple didn't like some features.
