  • Chat Control 1.0 HAS PASSED

  • Until this trash starts being scared of dropping dead they have no reason to stop

  • [Drawn Out] Rockstar & Sony Think You're Stupid

  • Apparently that was satire, but yeah my impression was that someone was trying to scalp physical copies.

  • Considering there's that guy who spent his 401k on GTA 6 copies not realizing there's no disk, they are more than correct in that assessment.

  • Also if your release schedule is episode 1 in January and episode 10 in July you can consider me your #1 fan if I still remember your show exists in February.

  • Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns

    Jump

  • You know how the maga crowd is saying that it's all just temporary hardship that they must endure for a brighter future? Apply that x999 to russians. As long as they don't have to accept 2 men holding hands in public, they will bend over for pineapples up their asses and claim that it's actually more comfortable to walk that way anyway.

  • There won't be a nuke, that's just fearmongering. There will also be no revolt of any kind, the vast majority of russians are ok with the war, they want it to end but only in their favour, because they are always given somebody to fuck over beneath them - ethnic minorities, queer people, ukranians, etc. For a revolt they would genuinely have to start starving (which I highly doubt would be allowed to happen) and even then it would be a revolt against an incompetent war monger dictator, not against the dictatorship and war as a whole. The military would most likely seize the control of the country and we would have Myanmar 2.0. It is somewhat of a collapse, especially if some municipalities decide to go rogue, more so chechnya than any others, but the country itself would most likely just remain in an extremely poor as-is state with crime through the roof like what they had in the 90s, if not worse.

  • Is IPV6 better for youtube adblockers?

    Jump

  • Never heard of IPV6 affecting what websites can and can't do, sounds wrong to me.

    How to get it depends entirely on your ISP. Some ISPs provide 4 and 6, one or the other being the default, some ISPs don't have 6 at all. If your ISP already provides it then first you would need a compatible router, Windows should adjust automatically.

  • Android and iOS should be exempt as far as I know, because if you own a PC copy of Bedrock, you can't play on mobile and vice versa. Otherwise you are right piracy is the only option.

    No, it's not needed at all you twat. What a way to ruin your reputation.

  • Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years. Nice work AI bros.

    Jump

  • With the price of Noctua fans you might as well just get another 980 or any other budget/old GPU that's even better. Some old hardware is simply not worth repairing, especially when software support is also non existent at this point.

  • A shocking backroom deal is underway to revive Chat Control 1.0 this Friday

    Jump

  • I really wish there was some sort of rule that stated that if your proposal failed it gets blacklisted for the next 10 years, regardless of the framing of the proposal.

    Jump

  • If by chug along you mean just live and allow you to browse and play some light 2D games - yeah, probably. For anything else bad news for you, not even Nvidia is going to update drivers for it anymore. I survived on 980 for over 10 years until the fan bearings died.

  • Is this just Linux propaganda, or how much of it is true?

    Jump

  • Since you covered AMD and not Nvidia: pre 1650 cards are completely unsupported (some distros keep old drivers in their repos, for how long - nobody knows), RTX20xx is like a corncob up your ass on Linux, RTX30xx and above start to handle things better, with RTX30xx losing up to 20% of performance and 50xx about 5-10%, in extreme cases (iirc The Last of Us) you will be lucky to break 20 FPS. There's no Nvidia App, no Broadcast App either. There are currently a few versions of drivers, open source (not made by Nvidia), half open (made by Nvidia) and fully closed source (made by Nvidia), which only adds to the annoyance, as some drivers might work better for certain games, but obliterate performance in others, not to mention random crashing issues.

  • Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?

    Jump

  • Not a masochist and Arch is the only distro I'm aware of that comes close to Windows in terms of package availability (i.e. if it exists and is either open source or prebuilt I can get it on Arch). Cachy specifically for their optimized custom kernels, but lately I've been really wishing they had a bigger team and were sponsored, as some packages can lag behind for quite some time. Same for packages in the Arch repo.

  • Stop Killing the Internet: Governments are walling off the open internet. We are a global movement opposing restrictions — and building a better internet.

    Jump

  • Still don't understand wtf do you want people to do with Tor if Tor itself gets blocked (yes, their obfuscation methods are also very trivial to block), not to mention the reality of some countries not allowing any cross border traffic.

  • I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do?

    Jump

  • You didn't come up with the name and it's perfectly realistic to imagine more than 1 person coming up with a similar idea based on the same concept. Even if someone "stole" your idea - do it better than them and you'll have nothing to worry about. I'd be more understanding of your concern if a big AAA studio happened to make this release so close to yours, but even then not much you can do due to aforementioned reasons. And while Steam lets you use any name you want, even if it's already taken, it will put your game first on the search list if more people interact with it, which will naturally happen if your game is good.

  • Epic Games is hiring a Security Engineer to champion Linux anti-cheat

  • Bet it's going to require TPM and MS signed SecureBoot anyway.

  • Russian Spam & Profanities Are Now Plaguing The Arch Linux AUR

    Jump

  • Arch attracted a lot of newbies to the distro thanks to SteamOS being Arch based and CachyOS being extremely easy to get into and maintain, unlike the heavily gatekeepy "fuck off if you can't solve literally everything yourself" base Arch. With that came a lot of demand for all sorts of packages that are not and will not be included in Arch/Cachy/whatever distro's repos, prompting heavy AUR usage. As well as some people promoting the AUR as one of the benefits of Arch - "everything is on Arch". And in my personal experience - Arch itself tends to drop a bunch of packages into AUR, and other 3rd party devs treat AUR as an easy distribution platform for Arch based distros, which gives AUR an undeserved amount of trust.
