    Mozilla Firefox 125 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What's New

    Jump

  • Is it just screensavers that are broken? Because I have set my screen to turn off instead of a screensaver and that is disabled while video is playing in FF. Maybe it's an option in the mean time?

  • The Government Can Spy on You Using Your Wireless Headphones

  • But you can make it a lot harder and economically unattractive for them

  • 'Devs are getting ground up as collateral damage': Fallout: New Vegas lead says burnout has replaced crunch as 'the primary hazard of the game industry'

    Jump

  • I don't get the statement "burnout has replaced crunch as primary hazard". That's like saying humidity has replaced water as the primary reason for rust.

  • EA No Longer Working On Dead Space 2 Remake - Report [Update]

    Jump

  • Should've worked on DS4 instead of churning out a remake that nobody asked for. EA being a bunch of jabronis again.

  • US has seen no evidence that Israel has committed genocide, Defense Secretary says

  • I've recently investigated my best friend Larry. He never pirated any video games ever. Pinky promise.

  • El Salvador offers 5,000 passports to skilled foreign workers

  • Of course. The question is, is it something you need to grow your GDP.

  • Steam is a ticking time bomb

    Jump

  • The article makes some good points. Most people downvoting it probably just see a title that attacks their favourite game distribution platform, if there even is such a thing.

    Personally, I treat Steam like a rental service, because that's what it is. Meaning I exclusively "buy" games on Steam at deep 80-90% discounts. So, when the enshittification inevitably hits the fan, I can jump ship without feeling like I'm loosing too much.

  • "Digital sovereignty": German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein ditches Microsoft for Linux and Open Source alternatives

    Jump

  • I recalled that too. It was like 15 years ago think. The whole thing was a disaster. Adoption was as much an issue as compatibility. Linux and LibreOffice has come along a long way since then. But so did MS. Not even google manages to compete with the level of integration and interoperability MS has. Also, being a state organized enterprise, you just know the transition phase is gonna be chaos incarnate. I just hope the top management is ready for the fight. I truly believe it's worth it.

  • [RECIPE] Sushi Bake

    Jump

  • I think the reaction comes from the baking part, not so much the ingredients. Imagine someone saying beef tartar wedged between two balls of uncooked dough tastes like a hamburger. You'd probably be sceptical too.

  • Fairphone wants to expand to 23 new markets and reach the €400 price point

  • Also running around with Bluetooth enabled on your phone is a privacy hazard.

  • Hellblade 2 Developer Ninja Theory Says Its Fans Enjoy Shorter Games

    Jump

  • I think it also depends on the demographic of the game. As a kid I had no issues dropping 4+ hours a day on a game. That doesn't work for adults. And being "stuck" on the same story for months can be frustrating, because other great games will be bound to come out in that time. BG3 is a good example. Great game. But I'm already eyeing my next games and after 50 hours I'm just about halfway through and some parts start to feel like a chore.

  • From its start, Gmail conditioned us to trade privacy for free services

    Jump

  • It’s a false dichotomy to argue that a service can’t have a free privacy respecting offering.

    I don't believe anyone is arguing that it's technically impossible. But reality is pretty clear that it's implausible. Targeted ads reel in too much money.

    I think the real fallacy is getting used to services being free at all. You need to pay a monthly fee for basically every utility, but as soon as it's in the digital world people expect that to change. What makes a search engine or mail provider so much different than your ISP or cable provider? You want competent services that respect your privacy? Pay for alternatives like Kagi and Proton.

  • In other news, water is wet. Honestly though, people expecting "free" services from big corpos are naive. What do they expect the servers and admins/devs are payed with?

  • FOSS app locker

    Jump

  • Not quite what I was looking for. I basically want to lock some apps behind an additional unlock process, ideally a password. The app I linked to does this with an unlock pattern.

  • Video chat options?

    Jump

  • I use Jami for video chat

  • Upscayl: Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler

    Jump

  • I like the app too, but "for years" might be a tad exaggerated. It came out 1.5 years ago.

  • Yourphone alternatives?

    Jump

  • you could try the hamburger menu in the top right to add your pc with an (network) IP. If you're tethered and that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.

  • Yourphone alternatives?

    Jump

  • Yes, you do need both devices to be on the same network. USB tethering does just that (your pc connects to your phones internet connection).
