  • Runs perfectly fine on Linux though, with DX11 or Vulkan. On Windows, Vulkan has some performance issues that make it quite unenjoyable, but in Linux for me it plays a lot better with Vulkan than Windows DX11.

  • Valve keeping up with the trend of "worst kept secrets"

    Well it's very intentional I believe. You can invite an unlimited number of friends and there's no NDA or anything, they just casually ask you to not share details about the game since it's still a work in progress and in alpha, despite it looking like mostly finished to be fair. Characters are fully voiced and nothing really screams placeholder content, and most updates are regarding "balancing" and mechanic changes, just trying out what's best.

  • It's actually closer to Battleborn. Like the other commenter said, it's more of a third person shooter with MOBA elements. There's focus on movement (you can dash, double jump, crouch slide, some characters fly), headshots and distance change the damage and melee/parry are just a button, while every character has guns as their man attack means. For the moba elements, it changes a bit since there's 4 lanes and it's a 6x6.

  • I actually did follow those and the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA_Optimus I think most of the things are related to laptops where the dGPU can be turned off, but I don't think that's my case since my main monitor is plugged there. I guess what I need to do is find a way to set the iGPU as the default and whatever I need to run on my dGPU i use prime-run, but I'm not having much success with this.

  • This does not use the FOLON Downgrader, Because I don't like the idea of signing into my steam account through someone else's program

    You're not signing though someone else's program, you're signing though SteamCMD. Your credentials are on your PC and Valve's server only.

    Also there's a new automated tool to install it on the Steam Deck which I believe could work just as well on desktop Linux with little or no tinkering

  • Well but that still depends on Google adding that functionality, which can be anytime between now and never

  • Doesn't it depend entirely on FMD network? If so, then it shouldn't work better or worse than the other options since they all use the same restricted Google network

  • This doesn't change anything, Google said 7 years of OS updates, not 7 Android versions. The device should be getting support until 2031 regardless of which android version it shipped with

  • I think it depends on the app though. I use obtainium and it can download and update Firefox Nightly without any input from me, but for Mastodon I need to manually download and install it

  • Only on new phones that ship with 6.1.1, so your existing phone won't change this setting with the update. There's also a page during the OOBE setup with a toggle for this block where you can simply tap to disable it before proceeding.

  • Just don't update the app from Play Store, it's not automatic, you have to chose to change its source to the Play store

  • On the app listing, you’ll also see a new “Update from Play” button that will switch the update ownership from the original source to the Play Store.

    It's not automatic, you have to chose to update the side loaded app from Play store, if available.

  • I really can't explain but I type WAY worse on HelBoard. I'm usually quite accurate typing on phones, but on HeliBoard it's almost as if my finger is always shifted to the side, and that every tap has twice the delay

  • The guy in the thumbnail (Fernando Haddad, Brazil) has been very effectively taxing everyone except the rich and super rich. The super rich got annoyed that people were buying things from China instead of their resale so he decided to intervene by forcing an import tax of 60% + state tax (between 10% and 20%) over every imported product. Of course, the rich importing these same products to resell on a hefty price increase pay 0 taxes because "they're protecting the national industry".

  • When basic and highly requested features go untouched for years on end on every single product they have and new ones they launch, and Proton decides to keep expanding the portfolio without seemingly expanding the work force, then yes, one thing does prevent the other from happening.

  • There's probably a name for this just like the "author's barely disguised fetish". Usually when you see politicians campaigning this hard on topics like those, it's probably because they themselves are doing it

  • It makes more sense to not spread even thinner chasing AI grifting and cryptobro services when your existing services have been lacking basic functionality for years

  • The entire way that Proton introduced the Proton Scribe seemed very shady. Usually Proton would go on and on about transparency and all that, but with Scribe it just seemed very off, like they were purposefully avoiding talking about the thing in question.

    On the Reddit post about the bitcoin wallet, Proton team is also avoiding replying to most negative constructive comments about it, and the very few that they did reply to are just trying to justify the walletand LLM because "banks have crypto ETFs", "other companies have implemented AI" and my favourite "one shouldn't confuse Bitcoin with "crypto"".
    Proton is acting in a shady way with these two controversial services that seemed to appear into thin air on how quick they released those. I cannot see myself using Proton's products anymore and while trying (fighting) to cancel my subscription, I can see some dark patterns that try to prevent you from doing it, or trying to upsell you something.

    Oh and by the way, Hylics is such a great game

  • I could go on and on about those features on that page that are there for ages, but one struck me hard in the last hour: I tried cancelling my subscription, and after clicking on 6 "I'm sure" buttons and writing a reason why, I couldn't cancel because I was using too much storage (3GB, free accounts have a 500MB limit). I deleted everything on my Drive and emptied the trash, tried again, no success. Deleted all my emails and emptied the trash, still failed. Deleted everything on Calendar and Pass, nothing. Couldn't find anywhere how to contact support. There's a small bar that shows how much storage I'm using, one would expect that clicking on it would show a summary of what's using your storage, but all it does is show a popup with Proton's subscription plans.

    I can't cancel my subscription because they don't have the basic functionality of a storage usage summary.

  • They've made a poll that had questions about AI, but no clear options to indicate that you don't want anything to deal with AI. From the results, less than 20% of the voters signalled that they wanted an AI offering from Proton, those being business users, and less than a month later Proton introduces (to business accounts at the moment) a LLM that writes email for you (that has to decrypt and read plain text the emails that were supposed to be stored with zero access encryption), and it uses a model that was trained on copyrighted data without permission.

    Not even two weeks later they come up with this crypto wallet, and both endeavours are on two very sensitive and controversial topics, to a point it seems Proton is "selling out" to techbros.

    All the while, you can't even create or edit folders and labels on their mail mobile apps.
