There isn’t always a catch. Governance is often based on compromise and corruption runs rampant, so often there will be shitty things thrown in to appease corporate donors and conservative politicians, but sometimes the government just does something good without also doing something bad.

They were using Proton, so most likely X11 as their windowing system. I’m guessing they were using the default distro kernels as of November 15, 2023 (when they ran the benchmark), but I don’t think the article said for sure.

I found the original study in the article, it’s in German. Here it is (Linux Gaming: Test Results and Conclusion), it looks like most Linux distros have worse lows and frame times than Windows 11, other than Arch Linux which seems to be a tossup.

Repealing that act should be one of the largest priorities of leftists in the United States. I wish people talked about it more.

It’s based on posts and comments.

I’m glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.

Fully agreed. The authoritarian institution of shareholders and CEOs makes large companies prone to arrogance and short-term decision-making, democratic control of these large companies would make the economy much healthier.

I have Photon running at the same subdomain level as my main UI, but it’s easy enough to host both.

Unfortunately, the software for both running and displaying Lemmy is still in beta. While it’s still in active development, it’s probably for the best that we stay niche because bugs and stability issues turn off a lot of people permanently from the platform. That’s why I’m waiting until the Lemmy 1.0 release to really advertise, I don’t think we’re ready for that kind of growth yet.

Seems to. It federated to me at least, so it looks like it was saved correctly.

I would be inclined to agree with you if they didn’t get rid of Premium Light. I think charging users for avoiding ads is completely reasonable, we live in a Capitalist country and video hosting isn’t cheap. Even still, axing Premium Light shows a desire to screw over users in order to achieve more profit, which in my mind makes YouTube scummy.

That’s a really cool script. Does it work for posts/comments that haven’t federated to your instance yet?

I also hope that they continue to be able to use that tool, but at this point, it’s clear to me that it would be wise to start learning new tools. For me, it’s not just that the company has made a mistake, but that the mistake was a repeat of a mistake they made back in 2019, which indicates that they may well do it again.

Politics are as subjective as the right to privacy. There isn’t a hard logical truth to it, it’s what people think is moral. Considering that, and considering that right-wing billionaires aren’t known for being friendly to privacy, I think it’s fine to bring politics into this discussion.

It also shows how detached some of these billionaires really are. A VR system is not yet affordable for the majority of Americans, and the technology has much more development to do before it’s as widespread as video game consoles, never mind PCs.

Here’s a Reddit post with some people talking about Linux distros if you want to see some additional opinions: link. Manjaro with KDE is a good option as well I’d like to add, my personal recommendation is to install a Linux partition separate from Windows and ease into it, if you enjoy the experience you’ll find yourself using the Windows partition less and less until you are able to finally delete it.

Indeed, the process has really been streamlined. The configs and additional stuff from the olden days still exist, but they’re configured really well by default and someone would only ever need to touch them to try and eke out as much performance as possible.

Not really, but it would still be more helpful to explain how it’s better.

It depends on what you mean by too late. It is too late to feel no effects from climate change, but it exists on a sliding scale where it can always be better or worse. Stopping now and doing the right thing would still make things better, and continuing on the current path will continue to make things worse.

Do you have a source for that? I can’t find anything.
