You don’t have to use a “classic email server”, or even link your account to your current email address at all. The default onboarding procedure actually creates a new anonymous account for you on the default chatmail server. Reading through the site, I can’t actually even tell why someone would want to use their preexisting email address.

Delta Chat is not associated with your email account, as far as I can tell. Am I wrong?

Add support for the Proteus Byowave controller

That sure looks like an interesting device, but I cannot imagine that being worth the €300 for anyone. I would expect that even someone who really needs a far-from-standard controller for accessibility reasons could find a better (albeit less reconfigurable) option to suit their needs.

With it mentioning DisplayPort alt mode, I assume the assumption is that people would most likely be using it with an external monitor and keyboard/mouse. I cannot think of a situation where I would have access to those but not have access to a full PC. But, if I somehow found myself in that situation, I could imagine preferring using a keyboard/mouse with certain types of programs where thumbing a touchscreen is less ideal. Things like a full IDE or text editor, video editing, photo editing, etc.

Oh, is that where the name Brave came from?

Going Mobile from 2005? That was surprisingly fun. Apparently you can still find it as a JAR file and play it using a Java emulator.

EDIT: Anyone know what the best way to play a JAR on Steam Deck would be? I tried using J2ME Loader on my phone, and while it runs fine, the touchscreen controls are just not great.

I have enjoyed the several Ratchet & Clank games that I have played. I had tried the first two Jak games using OpenGOAL, and they just didn’t grab me like every Ratchet & Clank did.

I know that this thread is about PS2 emulation, but do you know if the HD collection for PS3 is a better way to emulate the original Ratchet & Clank titles nowadays?

They did announce three major products today.

Its only a matter of time

Completely aside from the blob issue mentioned, the Tails team has recommended against using a multiboot utility like Ventoy to install Tails. Ventoy works fine for basically any other operating system (again, aside from the blob issue), just not Tails, which is what this post is about.

The linked article lists Raspberry Pi Imager as an option for writing Tails from macOS, and that is also available on Linux and Windows.

Though the site only shows how to install on Ubuntu, the GitHub repo for the tool does have an AppImage that should work on any distro.

Desktop mode, or do you mean nested desktop? Either way, I have not noticed that limitation.

I had it on GameCube

Does that mean it will be simpler to enable multimedia codecs? That is always a bit of a pain point on a new Fedora install, in my experience.

Super + . (period) on KDE Plasma
