It’s actually really nice given the fps without framegen is playable.

I found it to have a positive impact for heavy titles that run around 40fps without it.

Anything below 30 gives this weird stutter

Rosetta and proton are two completely different layers.

Game porting toolkit is indeed also based on wine, but that’s only the conversion of directX to ogpl or vulkan (using metalVK in Apple’s case)

Rosetta is a completely separate harware accelerated (as in, the chips have dedicated hardware for this) translation layer for x86 to ARM

Given the lengths they had to go through to get even this custom APU, I can only imaging the difficulty in procuring a first-gen ARM offering from AMD.

I swear, this is just the “VR is really here, and it’ll replace conventional gaming!” Debate all over again. I’d be surprised if it happens in the next two years. After that? Maybe, if x86 doesn’t catch up more than it already has (which I fully expect it to do).

That’s fair. I do mostly play AAA games on my deck, so “yet another android gaming handheld” isn’t at all appealing to me though.

Apple’s M-chips have dedicated hardware to accelerate rosetta 2 (support for x86 memory ordering), please stop using rosetta2 as a show of what x86 on ARM can do, as it is a vertically integrated piece of software that is not indicative of the current market for anyone outside of apple.

Just take a look at windows on those new qualcomn chips - when they do the translation, the performance is underwhelming to say the least.

Yes, it will improve, but it currently does not exist outside of Apple.

And perform terribly because it’d have to emulate x86 because there’s no native ARM games (for Windows).

There’s no way there’ll be an ARM steam deck, unless valve wants to build an android gaming handheld for some reason.

No, they’re not, but Google won’t get them (unless, as you state, they use google’s messaging app) Less Google, more better, in my opinion.

MMS hasn’t been a thing at my provider for years now, so want to send me an image? Use Signal or whatsapp (begrudgingly). I already rarely receive or send SMS, so not enabling RCS isn’t a big loss for me, I don’t get added to Google’s statistics (which they are so very proud off), and I won’t really miss any of its features.

IIRC, Apple implemented the original spec for RCS too, so none of the Google features like e2e will even work.

I’m disabling that shit day 1, I don’t need my messages sent over Google servers - not even if they were encrypted.

I don’t even know why telecoms in Europe even bothered, and neither do they. (I asked the RCS lead at one of them, and they agreed it was kind of pointless with signal, whatsapp, …. existing)

Using the google algorithm, which by design includes related results, is probably the worst way to “prove” anything.

IIRC MySql inherits that behaviour when running on windows (or at least older versions do)

That was a real fun time when switching OS

I looked into distros using plasma 6 for a bit, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s also a not trivial boot setup (dual boot with w11 and bitlocker + LUKS + secureboot) and the (k)ubuntu installer just handled it flawlessly (meaning not having to enter my bitlocker key on every boot)

Works fine for me (except some weird locale issue, but I knew that in advance)

Those are so legit sounding I didn’t even realise until the second part of your comment those weren’t real.

Granted, I just slap kubuntu on everything because I’m used to managing ubuntu servers and like kde, so my distro knowledge is limited, but still

Here’s some hints:

Another word for athletic is “Fit”

Reducing the size of installers is done by “Repacking” its contents.

I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught

And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.

They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.

.eu and your local tld are often quite a bit cheaper too!

Pretty much - I’m too stupid to write my own mouse drivers for the mouse I use so all the buttons work 😎

So why not use forejo, which is completely open source?

If your criticism is MS pulling the plug, then Gitlab pulling a Redis/Hashicorp move and re-licensing their core should also be a concern

I’ve been to the US exactly once in my life, and I clogged the toilet at the hotel I stayed at. Never had it at home.

Probably just coincidence, but hey

It sounds like you’re looking for a hard link, like the one between the far right and china/russia. There is none, as far as I am aware.

The fact they aligned their views about NATO and the Ukraine invasion with Russia (the “NATO threatened Russia, so they had no choice” narrative you also mentioned), and their general affection towards the USSR is more what I was getting at. To me, that’s sufficient to be considered pro-russian.

As to why I called them “more dangerous” (not “worse”, I agree that the far rights ideas are considerably worse) - It’s a couple of things. I feel they are more competent in general than the right. They’re also more idealistic and consistent.

Those by themselves are not dangerous traits, but I also question how far that affection towards the USSR and China goes.

While I actually agree with much of their points, I’m just not that sure how much of the USSR/China they’d actually like to replicate. Regardless of that, I believe they would be fairly successful in implementing much of it - hence why I think they are more dangerous.

They oppose NATO membership, and are parroting the Russian talking point that the Ukraine invasion was the west’s fault.

While they might not be explicitly supporting Russia (which would be political suicide tbh), some of their talking points sure do align quite nicely with Russia.

I personally find them more dangerous than alt right at this point in time.

The far left party in belgium is pro russian.

So far right are fascists, far left are tankies. Maybe one is worse than the other, but both are bad enough for that not to matter.
