VRR, HDR.

It also had an early patch for nvidia support on Wayland earlier in the year.

I believe mutter-vrr has gotten merged though, behind a dconf flag

Gnome on the laptop, its keyboard and touch gestures are the best for notebooks. I also like its simple design and reliability.

KDE on desktop, I’d use gnome, but kwin has more gaming relevant features.

Yeah but I imagine porting a JVM and an API using open source code is much easier than reversing the Windows API.

This list is awesome. Unsurprisingly nearly every game has bad reviews.

They’re not even for denuvo itself.

I wonder. Do the shitty shovelware games gravitate towards Denuvo? Or do they install denuvo as part of their enshittification process

Its simple.

Pirates don’t ruin games for other players.

Pirates ruin games for the dealers.

Here in sync. I clicked the preview in a repost and it didnlt load.

Clicked through to the original post and it loaded… It took about a minute and a half to load though.

Personally I don’t consider it a con unless rampant. However in many cases they’ve dumped the projects. It is effort that could have helped along another project.

imo the negative side effect is the wasted effort and the abandonment.

Same, I was very sad wheb they gave up in Unity8. I do check in often on the project as I felt it provided a very good mobile experience.

The thing is. Snaps isn’t the first controversy.

Canonical, with Ubuntu early on was helping drive things forward, but they reached a point where they started to do things their own way with disregard to the broader ecosystem.

Each time they did this, they cause fragmentation, struggled, and then deferred to the choice the rest of the ecosystem has. The problem with this is that they’re not sharing their effort, they’re just throwing it away.

They merely doubled down hard on snaps which is the latest controversy.

Snaps have their own advantages, but Canonical owns the store. Which becomes its own stalewort

It’s great with navi, its also great at finding businesses, even offline.

Organic has saved my tail a few times in state parks where I didn’t have cell service. I tell everyone I know to install it just in case of emergency.

It can be more up to date, or out of date depending on the area. I pair it with Street Complete, which makes it easy to update info, or notifies you information you could provide.

Its gotten very slow and laggy and crashes often.

In my experience, ever since the layoffs, most google apps have had a negative experience.

Gmail layout shifts when selecting now. Maps crashes or displays the PIP ui by mistake. Too Many extra clicks added to maps as well. It’s more confusing to navigate.

YouTube… The ad nonsense. One could go on

Big if true! Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep an eye out. The closest thing I’ve seen is Halo Infinite making the highres textures a free dlc

Download game, enable offline mode on your steam deck for vacation.

Open game on the plane, in offline mode, get booted from game because you can’t log in.

Megaman battle network got me this way. Switched to emulator and played the same game before it was enshittified.

I honestly don’t understand why games don’t simply use something like Android does.

If I have a 720p monitor, download lower res assets and a smaller game. If I have a 4k monitor, download all the pixels and consume 100gb.

I felt the same however Organic Maps did have many businesses. And with Street Complete I can correct any errors when I visit.

It may simply be my area, but I so recommend organic maps over Osmand for business and POI lookups

Adding to RSS.

I use FreshRSS to sync to Readably over Fever API.

Works very well!

I agree with you, I don’t want the trouble and just use mailgun free tier.

That said, I just need password reset emails for my IAM solution.

I imagine some just want to try, under the desire to avoid having their email data misused for data collection / ai training

Some news sources sell suvscrptions via newsletter.

Personally I find it quite nice, its similar to RSS and has high quality authors.

You can absolutely get by by, and have a great experience with GNOME + the app store.

Its a reason its default on so many distros.
