21·4 months agoThere is a gamedev conference that accompanies Gamescom in Germany every year.
It has lived in the GDCs shadow up until know, but game (the organisation that organises the whole thing) should understand this as a chance
It’s a term from city planing. Essentialy places that are not your place of work or someone’s home.
Here is a more in depth explainer by NotJustBikes: https://youtu.be/VvdQ381K5xg
4·5 months agoThat’s why Ultramarine exists. It’s just Fedora with RPM-Fusion (the non-free repo) preconfigured and the Nvidia drivers preinstalled.
2·6 months agoIf all you care about is installing and launching your games, then an GTK client already exists:

Doesn’t have galaxy’s social features though
2·6 months agoNo it’s not. The title of the article is “Israel Quietly Backs New Gaza Militias Fighting Hamas” (emphasis by me). You might say that that’s a distinction without difference, but I think it matters on multiple counts:
- The term “Zionist” refers to people holding a certain set of beliefs. The group therefore contains more members than the government. Which Zionists are backing the group? The original headline answered the question, the new one does not.
- Using the term “Zionist” instead of “Israel” implies a motivation for the actions of the government not present in the original title. The new headline misrepresents the reporting it links to. We are talking about the Wall Street Journal here. Do you really think the would argue that the Israeli government funds Arab militias because of Zionism?
That’s not the headline of the article.
Compose multiplatform https://www.jetbrains.com/compose-multiplatform/
- ubuntu touch UI framework / suru: qt 5 based, so slightly outdated underpinnings, but still actively maintained https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/humanguide/index.html
- flutter: developed by google as a cross platform framework, tied to the dart programming language. https://flutter.dev/
- Canonical has created custom widgets for flutter, if you don’t like material design: https://pub.dev/packages?q=ubuntu
- uno.platform: C# framework for cross platform apps. https://platform.uno/
21·8 months agoYou could also use dedicated hardware to store your keys. Any FIDO USB key will do. I have a Yubikey that cost me less than 30 bucks.
It’s really handy, because I frequently use someone else’s device for work. All I have to do is plug it in, press the button on the key and enter the master password for the passkey storage. It’s like having a password manager on a USB stick.
And they can be hardware based as well. I have a cheap Yubikey USB dongle, which works as a passkey vault as well. Completely OS independent.
Because its not. OP made a post on Mastodon and crossposted it to Lemmy by @ing the community. I’m not sure this wasn’t by accident
I think the main problem is, that it solves a problem, that shouldn’t exist in the first place. If OEMs would build (and ideally also upstream) proper drivers, then we wouldn’t need a translation layer
Yes, but is there any evidence that Moroccan Oil is an activist company? They were founded by an Israeli, but in Montreal, Canada and are headquartered in New York, USA. They don’t seem to have any direct ties to the Israeli military or government, because they are a haircare company. Companies usually care more about their bottom line than about their government’s agenda (as long as the two don’t collide)
I don’t see how this one’s involvement stops the EBU from kicking out Israel.
Isn’t the VollaPhone Quintus the best option for Ubuntu Touch? (It’s more expensive than the Fair Phone, but it ships with UT)
I’d argue that Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish are the most mature offerings. Both OSs are (or at least were at some point) developed as commercially viable alternatives to the duopoly. That gives them a headstart in terms of apps and overall pollish.
The postmarket shells are catching up, but you still get instructions like “drag and drop a file from your file manager to open it”, which doesn’t work on a phone. Phone UX still seems like an afterthought in many cases.
Postmarket OS is a desktop Linux system, but for phones. UT and Sailfish on the other hand are mobile OSs, that happen to use much of the same tech as desktop Linux. They are therefore much closer to the duopoly (for bettet or for worse).
I found pipx the easiest way to install and manage a current ytdlp installation
sudo apt install pipx pipx ensurepath pipx install yt-dlpYes I know, it’s an additional package manager, but it actually is a package manager and will therefore ensure the setup is correct
Yes, but none that even comes close to Vienna in terms of size. Vienna has over 2 million inhabitants, the next city (Graz) has only 300 thousand.
Innsbruck (132000 citizens, 5th biggest city in Austria) actually also made a bid to host the contest but lost to the capital
The feature is called “WiFi Tethering” and is available on most Android systems (sometimes OEMs or carriers disable it)
On iOS it should enable automatically if you’ve got a hotspot active and connect your device to your computer via USB
Hardware
A mac mini is probably overkill for what you want to do. We are talking standard blu-ray after all, meaning your videos are going to be limited to 720p. Most hardware will have no problem dealing with that. The cheapest solution that’s fit for purpose is a refurbished thin client. They aren’t powerful or anything, but you don’t need powerful. You need quiet (passively cooled) and low on energy consumption.
Thin clients can be had on eBay for less than 30 Franks.
