  • It can't be illegal to send you an email outside working hours, that's just silly. Now if it's illegal to demand that you read it and respond outside working hours, I would understand.

  • I'm a long time Sync supporter and paid for ad-free Sync for Lemmy, but I can agree that Infinity is definitely a good competitor. I'm juggling them both right now, and they're both fantastic.

  • It literally doesn't do that. If you pay for it, the ad code doesn't even initialize, thus performing no tracking. And crash analytics are optional.

    At least, if we trust Laurence. I wish it was open source so we could verify, but I choose to trust him.

  • Let me introduce you to the wonders of Obtainium! It's been really helpful with all these open source Fediverse apps.

  • I used Sync for Reddit since alpha (back when it was Reddit Sync), so I gladly paid the $20 ad removal, even though I also happen to be juggling both Sync and Infinity right now. They're both so good.

  • Which made me so sad. Yes, v20 was a big change, but it was overall a better experience, in my opinion. I'd been using it for a long time on the beta before it was released to stable and was absolutely shocked at its general reception.

  • Funnily enough, the crashes were Windows side, not Linux/Proton. Well, the stream was crashing on Linux, but not the game. But yeah, there are a lot of moving parts here, I agree.

    Luckily, I got it working solid with Sunshine on Windows. Unfortunately, there's not a Sunshine build for Tumbleweed, and I can't be assed to compile it from source right now, lol.

    Edit: Jesus, there are so many moving parts, I forgot which platform had which issue. I agree, there's probably something funky going on with Proton and Remote Play. But I also got Sunshine working on Linux now, and it's been flawless (after telling it which display to stream)!

  • QEMU/KVM with virt-manager as my front end.

  • Ah, I didn't even think about trying one of those. Will give that a shot, thank you!

  • Specs:

    Ryzen 7 5800X
    64GB RAM (32/32 Linux/Windows when Windows is running)
    Radeon HD 6800 XT (Linux host)
    GeForce 3070 Ti (Windows VM)

    Tumblweed host, Windows 11 VM, and Steam Deck all up-to-date.

    Tumbleweed Steam is Flatpak on beta.
    Windows Steam and Steam Deck are both on stable.

  • Some third party apps don't display the user's domain by default.

  • Good article, and not only for the ITYSL reference, lmao.

  • All valid points (especially about the idle games, I probably need psychological help, lmao), except that I can now do all of those things with a single device that fits in my pocket. Of course I'd prefer to play games on a monitor or TV, but I don't have those on the go. Except maybe a laptop, but that's much less portable than a phone.

    It's not for everybody, that's definitely true. But it works for me, much to my surprise.

  • How does it improve the experience

    On a Pixel Fold,

    • I can browse two social media apps.
    • I can play two idle games.
    • I can play a game and watch a stream.
    • I can play one game or use one app with a large screen.

    I actually use the inside screen much more than I thought I would. Is it worth it? Probably not, but goddamn is it fun.

  • I agree with you, but that line of thought doesn't apply here. Houston is famously one of the big three blue bastions in Texas, arguably the bluest, and this is a city ordinance. As a Texan, I'd expect this ordinance literally anywhere except Houston, honestly (and possibly Austin).

  • Those are both on Steam. Heroic Launcher exists for Epic/GOG games, though, and Lutris exists for games with their own launchers.

  • I've never thought about it like that, but this is so true. I've thought about how easy it would be for Nintendo to port for example gen 1 Pokemon to phones and charge $5 or $10 and make a boatload of cash. Easy money. But as you imply, that would devalue new releasesand reduce sales if people would rather spend time playing old games.
