I thought defederation meant that you wouldn’t be able to see the posts either? For example, quite a few Lemmy instances defederated lemmynsfw.com because they didn’t want their users seeing NSFW content.

Raytracing works pretty well for a decent amount of games at least on the Nvidia side. They just enabled RT by default for AMD GPUs but their RT is generally slower than Nvidia’s.

I always pick up everything and salvage or sell, just so I don’t have to worry about not having enough money or mats to do upgrades later.

I get the sentiment though. In World Tier 3 at lvl 55, your loot drops start getting capped pretty heavily in terms of stats. I was pretty much getting garbage loot, even if they were sacred, and I got to a point where I was just blindly salvaging all rares and most legendaries unless they had aspects that were right for my build.

She’s a genius. After seeing what she did for the M1 driver, I am sure we’re going to be in for a treat with whatever she’s working on next.

But the code is also available in CentOS Stream, which is basically the “git master” of RHEL, and that you can freely redistribute.

What do you think the intent of the GPL is though? Genuinely curious, this isn’t meant as a retort or anything.

But they’re not canceling access to the code. All that is still there under CentOS Stream.

Except they’re aren’t violating the GPL at all. Their source code is still available to subscribers (and it isn’t behind a paywall because you can get a free license) and available to the public via CentOS Stream. Their code also goes into upstream projects as well.

The GPL exists so that companies can’t just take the code and contribute nothing back. But that isn’t what Redhat is doing here so I find your accusations that Redhat is exploiting users to be very hyperbolic.

I get where Jeff Geerling is coming from, but I think RedHat has a point as well.

I think a lot of people are coming at this from the perspective that RedHat themselves are just repackaging open source code and putting it behind a paywall, instead of also being one of the top contributors of software and bug fixes into the Linux ecosystem. Jeff mentions that Redhat is based on other open source software like the Linux kernel, but at the same time doesn’t mention that they’re also one of the leading contributors to it. I mean seriously, good luck using Linux without a single piece of RedHat code and see how far that gets you. If you’re entering the discussion from that perspective of “Redhat is simply just taking other people’s work as well”, it’s easy to have a biased view and start painting RedHat as a pure villain.

I also think that people are downplaying exactly how much effort it takes to build an enterprise Linux system, support customers at an engineering level, and backport patches, etc. Having downstream distributions straight up sell support contracts on an exact copy of your work won’t fly or be considered fair in any other business situation and I get why RedHat as a business doesn’t want to go out of their way to make that easy.

And it’s not like Redhat isn’t contributing the developments that happen in RHEL back into the FOSS community. That’s literally what CentOS Stream is and will continue to be, alongside their other upstream contributions.

Does it suck that we won’t have binary compatibility between Alma / Rocky and RHEL, yes it is frustrating as a user! Does it suck that we once got RHEL source for free and now we have to resort to Centos Stream? Yes! But the reality too is that open source STILL needs sources of income to pay developers to work on the Linux ecosystem, which is getting bigger and more complicated every day. That money has to come from somewhere, just sayin.

Setup and you’re good to go. The game actually runs fantastically well on the Deck. Medium settings with FSR 2 Balanced drains 15W in dungeons and the open world, 23W in town. Hits a flat 40fps so if you frame limit in-game and set the Steam Deck to run in 40Hz mode, you get ultra smooth gameplay.

I am hoping this doesn’t break Linux compatibility. I am enjoying D4 a lot on my Steam Deck and Arch Linux box.

Not trying to cast any doubt here, but how do we know this is officially done by the KDE team? I can’t find a link to kde.social from kde.org. Even their matrix server is on kde.org.

The issue is that before you can voice your agreement or disagreement without publicly announcing it. Now it feels like you’re forced to take a stand.

I get that it’s a trivial thing when talking about benign topics like video games, but you might not want to publicly declare a position when talking about politics, human rights, sexuality, etc.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Voting secrecy is very important. There’s a reason why your government ballot isn’t posted on some public bulletin board in the town square for everyone to see. I see no reason why it should be any different for online community voting.

For me personally, I am somewhat okay with Lemmy’s implementation because it isn’t so public for the average user and is understandable given the requirements of federation (at least until we figure out a way to anonymize vote counts in aggregate), but kbin’s implementation just crosses the line IMHO.

Honestly, I am not down for this at all. It’s one thing to be able to get that info by hosting your own instance and another thing to be publicly called out like that. From a privacy perspective, I just don’t need the average joe seeing what I’ve been upvoting and downvoting.

Music is great, but damn do I hate going down those stairs to visit the blacksmith and armorer haha.

I feel like you’re just doing the same thing but from the other side. You’re dismissing other people’s experiences with Wayland simply because it doesn’t line up with what you’re personally seeing on your specific hardware.

On my Radeon 680M, Wayland has been an absolute no-go for gaming in terms of input latency and frame pacing. I tried it with Valheim and God of War in KDE Wayland and the performance is drastically worse than KDE X11. Other games like Spiderman Miles Morales show less of a performance gap, but it’s still there. And yes I tried it very recently.

Well, user traffic has returned to normal, but we also have to consider that it’s just traffic. Some of that traffic is also a bunch of people talking about Reddit, protesting, etc.

That being said, I don’t think Reddit will die from this, but it doesn’t need to in order for the Fediverse to succeed. All it needs is to push enough people onto federated services and kickstart it, just like Twitter did with Mastodon. We aren’t going to all switch overnight, it will be a gradual process.

From a technical standpoint, it’s not different from Reddit. The only difference here is that normal people can host their own instances, whereas Reddit is only hosted by the company and they can keep it under wraps.

Thanks for creating this! Finding a r/criticalrole equivalent was one of the first things I tried to find in the fediverse, so I am glad this exists now!
