  • Might be an unpopular opinion but after around two hours of gameplay I'm perfectly happy with the performance on my 3060Ti. On medium-high settings it can easily maintain 60fps on 1440p. That is with DLSS of course and ray tracing turned down to minimum.

  • My use case is a bit different than yours but still worth mentioning, I think; I have Sharry running in Docker and it makes sharing and receiving files super easy. All downloads and uploads are resumable so they work well even in unstable networks.

  • I don't have an answer for you, but I can absolutely relate. Some people say something like "find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." But for me, it doesn't work that way. I like my job, have awesome coworkers, and always look forward to the next week. But obviously I'd still rather be doing things I enjoy more. You know, playing that latest video game, finally finishing the Lego set I bought three months ago, hanging out with friends, etc. Two days out of seven just isn't enough time to do all that, which leads to anxiety about optimizing the little time I have.

    One thing that has helped me somewhat (and I know I'm very privileged to be able to do this) is taking every other Friday off. A two-day weekend versus a three-day weekend makes a huge difference for me. I'm actually considering switching to having every Friday off. But then ofc, there might be the dilemma of having the time to do the things I enjoy but not enough money for them :(

  • Nope. But as mentioned in the article, some support for display servers might be coming in Android 16.

    Networking does work. I was able to install packages using apt and also ping machines on my local network. Could be useful.
    I guess in a pinch it could be used to ssh into other machines. However, I’m sure there are plenty of SSH clients available for Android, which are much more lightweight solution than running a whole VM.

  • It has access to /sdcard as a shared folder.

    How does this work? The app doesn't seem to have any settings related to it yet. Under /mnt in the VM I noticed folder shared that seems to match the downloads folder on my phone, which seems odd

  • Tested this on my Pixel 8a. Works as you would expect. Personally I have a little hard time coming up with use cases for this but I guess it's kinda cool.

  • I had some old hardware lying around and decided to try building LFS (Linux from scratch) on it. For those unfamiliar, LFS is a "distro" where you compile every single package from source manually, with no package manager or anything. With my limited Linux experience it was really like diving directly into the deep end but the process was surprisingly easy and I learned so much by doing it.

    Once the base system was complete, I installed the bare minimum needed to get X, Xfce, and some basic applications running. I'm honestly amazed how little system resources are required to have a fully functional graphical environment for basic web browsing and whatnot. The system boots almost instantly on a decade old hardware and after boot sits at way below 500mb ram usage.

  • Aamukahvin aikana selaan Ylen etusivun läpi sekä paikallislehden uusimmat otsikot. Ylen sovellus on yllättävän hyvä ja toimiva, paikallislehden ei niinkään. Työpäivinä lounaalla tulee usein selailtua paperinen Hesari läpi, jos ei ole lounasseuraa. Aiemmin tuli iltapaskoja selattua pitkin päivää, mutta oon jo parin vuoden ajan pyrkinyt jättämään sen minimiin.

  • The first game of the series is the best in my opinion. It went downhill from there.

  • For those who have tried multiple apps, it would more helpful to others if you also mentioned WHY the certain app is your favorite. Is there some unique feature you really like or something else that sets it apart from all the others.

    Personally I've only used Voyager. It seems to have everything I need but I cannot really call it my favorite as I haven't tried any others.

  • I never understood why exactly it's such a controversial topic. It's my third year on Mastodon, and I've never felt the service was lacking just because not having proper quote posts. But then, I also don't understand most of the arguments against them, especially when/if they're implemented as an opt-in for the original poster.

    Basically, people on both sides seem angry over nothing, and I'm just like, 'Neat, a new feature. Anyway...'

  • You will be able to choose whether your posts can be quoted at all.
    You will be notified when someone quotes you.
    You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.

    To me this sounds like the right way of doing it. Quote posts have always been kinda a hot topic on Mastodon. Some people want them while others absolutely do not. So best just let everyone to decide for themselves.

  • Yeah, kinda sounds this was designed by someone who has never actually attended a LAN party

  • Sadly Thinkpads no longer are what they used to be. I got the X1 Extreme Gen 5 couple of years back and have had all kinds of problems with it. Blue screens, problem with fans sometimes getting stuck at 100%, constant problems connecting to the dock, not to mention bad battery life... My coworker had to get a warranty replacement when the usb-c port stopped working without any apparent reason only after a month of use. And other coworkers with newer models are also reporting issues.

  • In addition to what others have already pointed out, please also note that mentioning any other account in a "private" message chain will allow that account to retroactively see all the messages in the chain.

    Basically DMs in Mastodon are pretty useless.

  • There would need to be a way to guarantee that only the browser could do this, or at least some way to tell exactly what the source was.

    I don't think there's a way to do that. Let's say browsers implemented this. I could then just take a copy of Firefox source code and make my own version, which is exactly the same than normal FF except the fancy screenshot tool has been slightly modified to allow editing the page before taking the screenshot.

  • The website (Telegram in this case, but can be any website) adds a specifically crafted text to the clipboard and then tricks the user into pasting that text into the Windows Run dialog, which can be used to execute any command(s), basically like a command prompt.

    The text the attacker places in the clipboard is actually a command to download and execute an executable file from the internet, giving the attacker remote access to the system or whatever the payload happens to be.

    It's a pretty clever trick. Perhaps MS should consider adding a warning before allowing pasting into the Run dialog or cmd for the first time. They already have this in the Edge browser console.

  • Yeah I get that, but why return that information in the HTTP response?

  • with the motion largely serving to get Democrats on the record as voting against a bill being framed as anti-infanticide

    Democrats have routinely criticized “born-alive” bills as being redundant because killing an infant who was born alive following an attempted abortion is already illegal.

    tl;dr: The bill would actually change nothing and it's all political games.
