This is only the Steam client itself which gets updated independently of SteamOS.

Why don’t you just shut down the Deck? Unlike suspend, there is almost no battery drain. Startup isn’t that slow for it to be a chore IMO.

April Fool’s

I can count good April Fool’s jokes from all my life combined on one hand.

Seems this is legal now. Keep this in mind, when the next video game decompilation project comes along because that’s also machine-generated material based on copyrighted released media. That must be equally as legal now.

It’s slightly different than SteamOS as it’s immutable Fedora rather than Arch.

I have yet to try Bazzite myself but as I see it, for the average user both are essentially the same, no? Launches into Steam Game Mode and Desktop Mode is the same Plasma desktop with Discover they read about in tutorials, right?

if they can make an APU that’s affordable

About that…

The AMD Ryzen AI Max APUs for mobile, originally codenamed Strix Halo, could make an appearance in desktop PCs, as hinted by Dr Lisa Su.

What is there to hint? Framework Desktop has been announced weeks ago.

Are they saying third-parties don’t even have devkits yet? That’s a bizarre way to do a launch plan.

The console will be out of stock for at least 6 months anyway.

According to their privacy policy there is no telemetry: 1.1. No Telemetry. We do not collect any telemetry data.

According to https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/5947#issuecomment-2737211334 one of the issues is that Mozilla’s telemetry remains enabled which (if happening in secret) is bad and also dumb because Mozilla can’t even use telemetry of a very different browser.

This is a benefit for Bluesky who do not want to be responsible for moderating their platform.

At least in Germany there is a mandatory German filter list that seems to be maintained by Bluesky themselves. They couldn’t legally operate here if they allowed holocaust denial and such.

ActivityPub already existed when they started BlueSky. They chose to not make their protocol compatible.

Traditionally, that’s what new major version numbers are for. IF (and I stress the “if” because I have no clue about protocol design) it turns out that AT has useful features, a merger of ideas of both ActivityPub and AT could lead to ActivityPub 2.0.

That would be somewhat similar to AMD’s proprietary Mantle leading to Vulkan (which was originally intended to launch as OpenGL 5.0).

I still wonder why they chose Swift

They just closed the issue without even acknowledging it, lol

They acknowledged the remote debugging backdoor issue and fixed it a year ago.

It was enabled due that zen was still a toy project and we needed people to easily open the debugger for easier bug fixing. This was due because zen was not in a daily drivable state and didn’t gain any sort of popularity yet.

The telemetry issue is entirely different. Their handling of that is naive at best, dishonest at worst but it is completely different from the “backdoor”.

The “backdoor” mentioned in a single reply is very different from the telemetry issue. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927 was fixed a year ago.

I agree the telemetry should be either disabled or at the very least users should just get a config tab on first launch to opt out but the Lemmy submission is misleading and bordering on fake news.

Musk is helping Meta through “at least Zuckerberg isn’t Musk” aura.

This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

Depends what the contract says. If some line somewhere says that the developer retains copyright if Square Enix cancels their end of the deal, then the developer is correct.

The only thing we on the outside can make a somewhat educated guess on is that probably both sides think they’re in the right. Maybe details of the contract were lost in translation between Japanese and Chinese.

The notable detail I find interesting is that they try to stop the US release of the game whereas the Japanese and Chinese release went ahead just fine and SE only later decided to sue in Japan as well.

I don’t think so. Cannot remember that it did. Fog did though.

The tech sounds useful to bridge cell towers in rural areas among each other to skip satellites and laying cables.

Back when I was still in university, dormatories’ internet was established using a similar tech to the main campus. It was great, except on snowy days. Then there was just no internet at all.
