What do you all use for password management?
  • KeePassXC synced across my devices with syncthing

  • Boris Johnson 'deliberately' misled MPs over partygate, report finds, and should be banned from parliament
  • Everybody knows that all sins are forgotten with each new election cycle. Watch him coming back to the benches next year. He will not even apologise.

  • Does Linux gaming support controllers whit wine/proton?
  • Steam will usually hijack the built-in controller settings if you use the overlay and that's actually a good thing except for a few corner cases. The windows application does not really care what's on the other end because it's presented with a "proper" DirectInput controller.

  • www.reuters.com STMicroelectronics, GlobalFoundries win EU approval for French chip factory

    Chipmakers STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries secured EU approval on Friday to build a chip factory with French state aid in France.

    The companies announced their plan in July last year, with the new facility to be situated next to STM's existing plant in Crolles and targeted to reach full capacity by 2026, with up to 620,000 wafers per year of production at a size of 18-nanometers.

    TSMC feels 'good' about possible Germany plant, in subsidy talks
  • I guess it makes sense for them to diversify their plant locations given the uncertainties around Taiwan/China relations. Germany also has quite a lot of know-how in microfabrication and there's already a non-insignificant cluster of companies in the sector. I guess that's why Intel decided to go there and it makes sense for TSMC to do so at some point. In any case, we're talking over a 10+ years horizon.

  • Why Perl?
  • It's a dependency of a lot of things, including git, lxc, GNU autotools. Check the Required By on the Archlinux repo.

    Let's leave [proprietary] Discord too
  • So annoying when you run into an interesting project and you realise that the only documentation is a link to Discord.

  • Multiplayer Co-op games
  • Great and fun co-op, but it's long term investment.

  • Petition to block Boris Johnson’s honours list reaches 340,000 signatures
  • Yes, but all petitions of this kind are meaningless. If they could actually do anything they wouldn't exist in the first place. The major issue is that PMs can appoint their pals to the Lords as a quid pro quo and that won't change without major reforms, let alone a petition. I don't like Boris, but the system has been rigged long before he became PM.

  • Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?
  • It's relatively a lot, maybe midpoint wasn't entirely accurate, but I'd say 25ish at a casual pace. As I said I was just about to give up myself but I was pleasantly surprised in the end. Fantastic game.

  • Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?
  • I felt RDR2 had extremely slow start, but after the midpoint the game opened up and it evolved into an excellent experience. Well-written, well-acted. Glad I kept going even though I had the same initial reaction.

  • State of Wayland gaming with Nvidia RTX? Is it good, or stick with Xorg?
  • With recent drivers and recent enough DEs it is usable to a certain extent. There are some known issues documented in the release notes of each version. Here's for 535. TL; DR the major blockers are: (1) Variable Refresh Rate doesn't work for some older cards; (2) GAMMA_LUT is not implemented (no night light) and (3) Nested X11 clients have synchronisation issues that might result in some flickering or dupicate frames, it's more noticeable on things that refresh slowly, although much better recently. Also (4) NvFBC capture doesn't work for X11 applications within a Wayland session which might or might not be important for some people.

    I'm using it with Plasma; it's OK, no major concerns but my setup is pretty basic.

  • Reddit announced new ad features on Friday
  • Even at 25% Reddit will still have some 2B accounts left. They'll be fine.

  • Lemmy.world improvements and issues
  • I've observed the same thing, newer lemmy.ml communities and pretty much everything from kbin returns 404 when accessed through this instance. It happens with other instances, to a varying degree, mostly with lemmy.ml. However [email protected] is accessible from beehaw but 404s from lemmy.world.

  • Starfield editions and pricing leaked - PC/XBOX - Standard Edition (69,99/79,99) - Premium Edition (104,99/114,99) - Collectors Edition (299,99/299,99)
  • Probably a good incentive to sell Game Passes, at £8/mo you can play for 7 months before you reach retail price.

  • What’s everyone playing this weekend?
  • Surprisingly good! Didn't expect the story to unfold that way from what's essentially a puzzle game

  • Baldur's Gate 3 World Premiere Trailer | Summer Game Fest 2023
  • Finally! I've been resisting buying the EA for too long. I'll be happy even if it's just DOS in a Forgotten Realms setting.

  • Desktop GPU Sales Lowest in Decades: Report
  • Can't really talk about AMD but NVIDIA are at a position to drop every other model except for the x90 without major repercussions. Hell they can even go full enterprise selling these A1000 at a ridiculous profit margin. For NVIDIA at this point the gaming GPU market is just a "good to have". Artificial segmentation in VRAM aside the chips are just too good to service the consumer market so they might as well sell them for silly money. They don't particularly care about selling the gaming GPUs because they aren't losing anything not doing so

  • FFmpeg Adds Support For Animated JPEG-XL
  • Apple will add support for JXL natively on the new macOS/iOS. Adobe suite added support recently. And yet Chrome decided to kill JXL before there was even a chance of gaining enough traction. This effectively kills any chance of widespread adoption of the format, which is a shame because it looks like it has a decent featureset. I really like that you can reencode the same picture with effectively no quality loss.

    BTRFS maintenance with SSD's
  • Set up fstrim to run once a week or so and scrub your disks periodically. It will not fix any errors unless you have a RAID but it will still tell you if there are any corrupted blocks. If you delete large blocks of data you might want to rebalance every now and then. You really shouldn't need to do maintenance on a filesystem.

  • lemmur | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
  • Edit: Apparently it's not maintained any more.

    It doesn't look possible to add a different instance. Even trying to add lemmy.ml again shows "Instance not found".
