IMO if you’re not interested in sport then it’s honestly pretty useless, unless you’re a boomer who can’t let go of the 24/7 TV channel paradigm.

Pirate IPTV is really good these days. Makes sense that rights holders are annoyed by it.

You don’t get your slurs sent via your authentication provider’s “freezepeach-as-a-service” API? Sounds like your app is “woke” smh

Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…

Doesn’t iMessage do the same thing on macOS…?

Intel and Nvidia’s doing it so it’s cool now

When was the last time you tried it, and what GPU did you use?

Thank you for a non-hand-wavy response! I’m not entirely sure I agree, depending on more libraries doesn’t have to be an issue if they’re well designed and frequently used elsewhere, no? Is the implication here that systemd isn’t well designed?

In any case, would you say sudo is the best we have for temporary root elevation at the moment? I haven’t really heard of an alternative apart from doas.

I really don’t get why an alias to something that would be in systemd anyway (that’s all run0 is, an alias to systemd-run) would be an issue. Is systemd-run problematic or something?

Why?

First, you don’t use Wayland, so you don’t even know if it’s fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.

Bingo. So many complaints I’ve seen about Wayland have been from Nvidia users who tried it three years ago when the driver support was beyond fucked. I get Linux development moves slow sometimes but holy shit…

And now you know why it’s so funny to read people on the internet exclaiming that X11 is so much better despite its lack of development…

By a mod, no less!

I hate it when people talk about new technologies 🤬

Great points. Especially the last one, there’s been a lot of vitriol directed at Nvidia lately for “dragging their heels” or whatever, but I don’t blame them for not wanting to implement a crappy stopgap and I certainly do not blame them for the time it took to get e.g the Wayland protocol merged. I think people simply love complaining in the Linux community.

XWayland (and therefore Zoom, IntelliJ IDEA, any game that runs on Wine, etc) has been borderline unusable for years due to Nvidia not supporting the way a system synchronises its rendering with the GPU, but recently all of the changes that facilitate a newer, better (and most importantly, a directly supported by Nvidia) way of synchronising got merged. This driver is the final piece of the puzzle and I can confirm that all Xwayland flickering has gone away for me.

What is with Western game fans acting proud of having an auditory gimmick in their games?

Surely there isn’t that big of a cheating problem in a fucking rally driving video game, to the point where you need ring 0 anti cheat?

Regardless, this rise in invasive anti cheat is getting seriously annoying. I hope the right person gets pissed off and finds a way to make them run on Linux for the sake of the rest of the community, but even still, I’ll continue to play single player experiences and leave my mental health intact.

Even Facebook Messenger has E2EE on by default now. Pavel Durov talks a lot of shit considering Telegram still treats encryption as an afterthought.

This is what is so ridiculous to me. The Nix team does borderline incompetent shit like this, but the real problem with the project is “le woke”? Give me a break.
