  • The reason people are mad with this is because Proton's longstanding services are lacking basic features for months and years already with no update in sight, and in less than a month after a (now) controversial poll, Proton introduces AI and crypto wallet in their portfolio.

  • Instead of focusing efforts into maintaining and improving their current products, of which many lack basic features, Proton decides to (in less than a month it seems) expand their portfolio into crypto bro and AI grifter territory.

    I was already quite annoyed and unhappy with Proton's services lacking things and the steep price (13€ a month and I can't even use unlimited addresses for my custom domain), but this is the last straw. Fortunately I was already planning to move out so I'm able to just set everything up tomorrow and be done with it. I'm planning to get Migadu's micro plan, move back to Bitwarden and get that Hetzner 1TB StorageShare, the three combined will be cheaper than 13€ a month and I'll be getting more bang for my buck

  • This is only for phones that come with One UI 6.1.1 by default and there's a page during OOBE setup with a toggle for this "feature".

    An update to your existing phone will not turn on this block, it's only for new phones.

  • It is also only enabled by default on new phones and during OOBE setup there's a toggle for this.

  • Creating ads that are even more targeted to you so you can forget about everything and buy that electric kitchen knife you just saw scrolling reddit

  • I checked it out as I was curious. First post was "I sleep with my sister, AMA" and then an AI porn thread with guides and very dangerous lolicon porn.

    Do not check it out

  • When is ad an advertisement and not a recommendation?

    Always? That's why it's called ad instead of recommendation

  • I think it uses VAAPI for AMD and NVENC for Nvidia, and saves it as H264

  • Zed is not an IDE, it's a code editor. No, they aren't the same things, it's like saying a table and a kitchen are the same thing.

  • Wouldn't running it on privileged mode cancel out whichever safety measures of running that script in a container?

  • Yes I have, but GIMP simply isn't aimed at the same type of work Photoshop and AF Photo are. GIMP feels much more of a hobbyist tool to quickly make a simple edit and that's done. And like the other comment said, it has no non-destructive editing at all, which is an enormous dealbreaker for any kind of professional work you might do.

  • As far as I know it doesn't, even with Wine/Proton. I mean, you can get it to run, but not properly and it's very unstable, not usable at all so far.

  • Check this video as well. I do share most of that experience of having to Google how to do some things because it's not immediately obvious, and some other things do take more clicks/effort than they should've compared to Photoshop. All in all, it has completely replaced Photoshop for my use case.

  • For most use cases of Photoshop, GIMP is not an alternative at all. For more basic use cases it is, but st that point you shouldn't be wasting efforts on Photoshop anyways, something like Paint.NET would be the recommended.

    The closest we have for any Adobe alternatives are Affinity Photo for Photoshop, but that one is not free nor open source, but it's a lifetime pay once license. For some use cases of Photoshop and Illustrator you could use Krita, which is FOSS, and for Premiere there's DaVinci resolve, which has Linux builds and a free version.

  • To avoid driver distraction, these ads do not pop up, expand only if they’re tapped on, and disappear quickly after a short time.

    You know what's even better and legally positive to avoid driver's distractions? Not having any popup whatsoever happening during navigation. It doesn't matter if you need to interact to view more or if it disappears after a while, it shouldn't be there in the first place.

  • Yuzi provided means to grab keys and firmware from a Switch console, which seems to be a big red flag and a reason why Nintendo went after them. Sudachi also has guides and download links for decryption keys and Switch firmware. From what I can see ryujinx only provides some guides on how to get the keys from a Switch but no apparent download links or "shortcuts"

    Besides, we should not be pointing fingers at emulator devs. Companies are not your friend, we're just a means to profit for them.

  • Running endeavourOS with a 3080 and Plasma since 5.25 (on 6.1.2 now). Never ran x11 and I don't intend to ever again. My experience is mixed, so to say. There are a few things keeping me on Windows but (very) slowly I'm getting there.

    About HDR. I didn't need to do anything extra to get it enabled on my desktop, simply toggling it on settings works.=, and I can also get mpv to work with some tweaks so I can watch films. On games I would need gamescope to run it, but that comes with a set of issues like not having Steam Overlay and Input, so for HDR games I run them on gamescope without overlay, and every other game I just run them normally. I also have a lengthy writeup on trying to get gamescope to run with the Steam overlay, but ultimately it's one or the other right now.

    On NVIDIA drivers, for me the 555 and explicit sync patches have made things worse. I never had issues with things flickering on 550 except for Electron apps, which would flicker and have awful input lag, but that's easily fixed by setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland on my /etc/environment. The issue with 555 drivers is that there are some VRAM leaks happening. They fill ridiculously fast, even just dragging a window will make kwin use 2GB of VRAM. Since there is no shared VRAM at all on NVIDIA Linux, as soon as I hit my 10GB cap, Xwayland will crash along my game and Steam, and sometimes my desktop too. On 550, I would only get framedrops for a while. I should also note that the proprietary and open drivers have no difference at all for me, and enabling or disabling GSP firmware also has no difference.

    Lastly, VRR. It will not work at all if you have more than one monitor connected and enabled on your NVIDIA card. A workaround if you have a second GPU (or your CPU's iGPU) is to plug your extra monitors there, and then VRR will work on your main screen. A second option would be to disable your extra monitors anytime you would play a game, but that's not ideal at all.

  • USA users think Beeper was meant just for I message, so by dropping support for that, they "blew their wad". On the contrary, Beeper is going even stronger now that they stopped messing with Apple's antics.

  • Don't worry folks, if we all stop using plastic straws and take 30 second showers, we'll be able to offset 5% of the carbon emissions this AI has!

  • Probably most, but the issue is that most are phantom accounts. See, if you don't have a Threads account and someone there searches for you, a phantom account is created, where you'll receive notifications trying to persuade you to "create" tour Threads account. These accounts inflate the numbers, and its why Threads had such a ridiculously fast ""adoption"" rate
