  • Is there a Chromecast equivalent?

    Jump

  • Chromecast actually mostly sends a link to a google device and then launches it on the device to play; there isnt a direct replacement to that.

    I'm aware of one project called ScreenInvader but it's unmaintained since about a decade. It offered a web UI where you could paste a URL from any device:

    As you can see the UI was clunky and I guess it's part of the reasons why it died. Too bad, I like the concept of having a jukebox at a party where people can just contribute to without installing anything, let alone sign up for an account.

  • Signal have tons of money from selling proprietary licenses of the Signal code base to Meta (used by WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger), Google, and Microsoft.

    All these partnerships were announced on Signal's own blog, in case you don't believe it.

  • When you have actual friends and you want tomeet up, just share the live location for 15 minutes, walk towards each other and you can get live updates to see where both are.

  • Exklusiv: Weihnachtsgeschenk für Industrie - EU kippt Verbrennen aus

    Jump

  • Ich denke, dass so etwas nur auf dem Papier kommt. Wenn Leute seit inzw. ein paar Jahren labern, dass ja Verbrenner kommen könnten, die nur E-Fuels vertragen, dann ist das natürlich Unsinn, da ja gerade eben der Sinn von E-Fuels ist chemisch identisch zu klassischem Benzin zu sein.

  • „Deshalb prüfen wir auch, wie wir die europäische Automobil-Wertschöpfungskette am besten stärken können – etwa durch gezielte EU-Präferenzkriterien.“

    Sicher, dass der Artikel nicht weiter geht? So weit komme ich auch mit regulärem Werbeblocker und darunter kommt dann die Paywall-Zahlungsaufforderung.

  • Wake me up when Signal can actually share the location, esp. live location, and not just a static maps screenshot with a Google Maps URL.

  • Why do game devs keep making horrible Linux Ports?

    Jump

  • It might also be a single dev who pushed for it. With only a 1-3% market share, the company is unlikely to push resources at it.

    And yet Microsoft and all PC OEMs panic at the existence of Steam Deck and throw resources at Windows-based competitors.

  • Why does such a game need a bordered window anyway?

  • But Proton is not one API. There is a reason why Valve maintains multiple Proton versions and keeps them around. Cleanroom reverse engineering Windows is a moving target. They are at developing Proton 10. How long can they keep it up to maintain old Proton versions for old games while advancing Proton for new games? Will the workload break them at Proton 20?

    Steam Linux Runtime is a less moving target. Valve bases a new SLR version on every second or so Debian release (IIRC SLR 3 uses Debian 11).

    Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • There is no best. Period.

    But there are bad ones. For example Ubuntu and derivatives broke Flatpak support in 25.10. This was known ahead of release but because only Snap matters, the fix will only roll out after release.

  • I recently installed Slowroll in Steam Deck's Distrobox. First day and yt-dlp was already too outdated.😅

    Adding OBS repos got weirdly broken since the last time I did it. Some packages cannot be forked into one's home repo because they are on openSUSE's git and zypper ar does not add the repo type to the offline file, so zypper ref complains about an unknown repo.

    In the end I found some other repo containing a recent version of yt-dlp that I could fork into my home repo and edit the file in /etc/zypp/repos.d by hand. I assume this is transition pain during the move from OBS to git. I hope they'll get this done soon.

  • Why Wolfenstein Was Way Ahead of It’s Time

  • It wasn't.

    The video is a 20 minutes long dive into the software architecture of Wolf3D, you commented within 3 minutes of my submission.

    Unless you already knew the video, it's unlikely your comment is qualified.
