  • Epic Games adds Easy Anti-Cheat for ARM devices — Feature unlocks support for Windows, Linux, and Switch 2

    Jump

  • Is it working for you now? I didn't have any issues for the past few months, but they changed their anticheat to denuvo in a yesterday's patch (or rather, do a technical test for later rollout), and I'm getting security violations now.

  • [Hyprland] SSS v3.3.22 (Supreme Sexp System running on Guix + Emacs) - added Dracula support and polished experience

    Jump

  • With the way hypraland creator and maintainer presents himself, I'm surprised it's not two lightning bolts.

  • YouTube backlash begins: “Why is AI combing through every single video I watch?”

    Jump

  • Haha, "backlash". Yeah, sure.

    People don't give a shit, they will forget that it's happening once news articles move to a different flavor of the week topics.

    And the people that get into a choice of "prove with a photo/Id you are old enough or you can't watch this video" will just begrudgingly comply and never think about it again.

  • Is it important/possible to separate the art from the artist?

    Jump

  • My absolutely favorite take about art is the one from the edge of the 19->20th century, where they got obsessed about art having to be absolutely separated from reality, to be even worth considering, since that would only taint it, and just be perfect.

    So in that case, I have no issues with separating the art from the artist. Or, since they also tried to make art out of their lives (the whole dandy thing), which made basically professional posers, I also don't mind separating morality/reality from the artists and viewing their life as art. For example, Motley Crue were extremely bad people to be around, but their lifestyle was portrayed well enough that it does sound kinda fun (as long as you don't actually live like that in reality), so I don't judge and kind of appreciate them trying.

    On the other hand, if someone is a dick as an artist without their behavior being refined enough to pass as an art/pose/dandyism, I make sure to not give them any money whatsoever, or promote their products, and just shittalk and laugh at them. Even if their actuall art is good, which I will probably enjoy, but will definitely not pay for.

    Is it a good take on the question that makes sense? Probably not, but it does work for me.

  • Optimizing My Sleep Around Claude Usage Limits

    Jump

  • What the fuck.

  • Recommend some open-source tools for privacy!

    Jump

  • KryptEY, an android keyboard that adds PGP encryption into any chat provider.

    So, once ChatControl passes, this will be the only way how to keep your chats private. So, you'll be able to send PGP encrypted messages through messanger/instagram/discord/whatever.

    It has some issues, no group chats, but once chatcontrol passes, this will be the only private way.

  • How long?

    Jump

  • Tbh I have no idea, I just like the evolution stone analogy :D

  • How long?

    Jump

  • That's my favorite thing about axolotls.

    They do live in water, but if you neglect them enough (or feed them special [hormone] evolution stones), they will say "fuck this", grow legs, evolve into slamanders and leave.

  • Godot showcased at Battlefield 6 reveal

    Jump

  • Shame that they also announced to be actively not supporting/banning Linux users, which probably rules out a lot of users who are familiar with Godot.

    Also, I'm not familliar with all the dev companies BF has so I may be wrong, but I don't think I see any of them in the Godot sponsors list.

    I know that's not how FOSS works, but it still sucks in this case. But, at least it will introduce new generation of modders to Godot, so that's a plus.

  • Microsoft's Windows Recall is reportedly still capturing passwords and Social Security numbers even after its relaunch

    Jump

  • As soneone who does 3rd party Red Teamings, I'm looking forward to it. That recall file is going to be a goldmine for our engagements, which are getting harder and harder thanks to EDRs and general advancements in the field.

  • I loved Sonic Adventure 2, without a hint of irony.

    Jump

  • It is probably nostalgia, since I was also super young and loved Sonic Adventure DX, but I also really enjoyed my time with SA2. I was just replaying it recently, and it was still pretty fun.

    Although, compared to the open world Sonic Adventure 1 (DX or not, not sure what is the difference), I can see why would people be disappointed. There is a lot missing if you compare SA 1 and 2.

  • Hmm, I've recently tried the WoW's Mists of Pandaria classic server, and the general chat was wild. Extremely racist and anti-woke.

    I thought it's because of the demographic the classic servers target - nostalgia for people that are around their 40s now, but this may explain some of it.

  • Send Messages Privately. No Cloud. No Trace.

    Jump

  • True, I forgot that in asymetric crypto, you can simply send a meta/service message "give public key or install extension", and that should work in most cases.

    Although, the main threat profile is Chatcontrol, and that could be MITMd by the chat provider, if the extension would get popular enough.

    I wonder if there is a way how to establish keys over public chat provider, if the provider has active interrest in breaking your encryption.

  • Send Messages Privately. No Cloud. No Trace.

    Jump

  • I was thinking about similar concept - E2E encrypted chat, but build on top of other existing services, through a Browser extension and PGP. The extension would just handle message encryption and decryption with PGP, and the rest can be sent through Messenger infrastructure, or anything like that.

    The only issue is key exchange.

    How do you handle secure key exchange in this case?

  • What are you going to do when the internet starts asking for ID for everything?

    Jump

  • I'll probably stop using as much as I can.

    Research VPNs, more importantly get up to date about stuff like Snowflake, to have a backup once VPNs are illegal.

    I'll probably look into getting a residential VPN from somewhere where the verification isn't required, for as long as it will be feasible.

    Get back to pirating music and all the other content they won't let me access.

  • Is it still just an AI+ cpu core feature, or dod they push this everywhere? If I should check on my gf's PC and disable all the AI shit, since I'm already on Linux.

  • Is it a problem anymore with proton?

    Or rather -- is testing the game on Linux via proton sufficient, or do you actually look for native Linux builds?

    I'm honestly interested as a dev who recently released my game I worked on free time, and I decide to go the route of single Windows build + proton, since it makes the build and release process a little bit easier, since I have a custom CI/CD pipeline and adding a Linux support into it would take some time.

    And as someone who has a Linux as a daily driver and game only on Linux, having the game run on it was important to me, but I honestly didn't see a reason why go with a native build and the additional trouble it would cause with testing - because now I can just test one windows build on my Linux desktop through proton, and be fairly sure that it runs OK on both.

  • New 3D headset uses holograms and AI to create lifelike mixed reality visuals

    Jump

  • I couldn't find any more pictures, but is that how Hololens work(ed?)

    Just trying to picture how it looks and works, since the article only vaguely describes it.

    Edit: Ha, the paper has a pic.
