  • How good is /e/ privacy based LineageOS fork?

    Jump

  • Haven't had any major apps not work on it. Except one banking app for a while in the beginning, but works now

  • Why UE 5 is so bloated?

    Jump

  • My impression of it is that you can achieve good performance in UE5, but you won't be using the newer tools for that in most games. Many of the newer tools, like Nanite, comes with a large up front cost, but scales well after that. So you can make a beautiful game that runs stable 30 fps with some effort, but reaching 60 or 120 is trickier when using the newer systems.

    Since there are so many different systems in Unreal 5 it's also a beast to understand. Understanding a system is in many cases a key to performance optimization. Performance is also something that spans most disciplines, adding more people that need to understand it.

    UE5 is targeting capabilities of newer hardware, compared to UE4, so it tends to push the limits more.

    UE4 has had a lot more time being refined than UE5, so it is understandable that it performs better.

    Making a game look nice and run well on newest hardware and do the same for lower end hardware takes a lot of effort. You may need to fall back to older systems with different visuals and spending time on getting it to look similar enough. Sometimes two systems may even not be feasible to switch between, so then in most cases the newer system with better quality takes precedence.

    I could go on about this at length but I mostly want to communicate that people underestimate how hard it really is to make a game that is a good investment, fun, beautiful and performant. There is always a balance to be struck.

  • I have never ordered something from Amazon. It was introduced in my country a few years back, but it isn't really that good of a site (at least the few times I have visited it).

    Like many here, I do not want to support a monopolistic company like Amazon. Luckily I live in a country where I have better options. I tend to buy things from plenty of well rated sites. Environmentally conscious sites if I can.

    I could see myself buying from them if there genuinely isn't another option and it is something I really need, but that has yet to happen.

  • Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?) [solved]

    Jump

  • I had an issue where one keyboard (worked with another one) worked in bootloader, but not when entering the encryption password after that. I believe I solved that by moving keyboard earlier in the module list in mkinitcpio.conf. Maybe something similar would solve your issue?

  • Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases?

    Jump

  • I have basically the same thoughts as you. The reasons I can think of is:

    • Convenience (but SL is pretty convenient)
    • Less of a lock-in to one vendor.
    • Avoiding filters on sites not allowing aliasing domains (often incorrectly under the label "temporary email addresses")

  • Moto S50 Neo to be world’s first phone with 4-year warranty

    Jump

  • Fairphone 5 has 5 year warranty. Sure that's not 4, but the title makes it seem that 4 is longest out there.

  • Does anyone know of any decent accounting software for Windows and Linux?

    Jump

  • You seem to have a lot of recommendations already, but I just wanted to mention beancount as well. It's a decently powerful plain text accounting software. Not sure if it does invoicing.

    For me it has been good because I think it is fun to hack some new functionality together that I feel missing. E.g. parse pdf receipts and break down transactions into postings based on what is in the receipt. But it you aren't interested in simple Python programming, I'd probably not recommend it.

    Being able to easily version control it using git is really helpful when you are trying things.

  • This is not a stereogram. If you look at it a certain way it will not resolve into anything.

    Jump

  • Trickier than most. Pretty detailed. I think the island is a nice touch. The ropes are also interesting.

    The dolphins!

  • What Router can you recommend?

    Jump

  • I have had basically no issues with my setup: Edgerouter 4 (overkill, had a lower end Edgerouter earlier with no issues except the power adapter died, other hardware was fine). Some pretty basic unifi AP. As well as some cheap dumb gigabit switches. Can basically fire and forget them. Relatively easy to do most things I need on it. Never needed a reboot outside of upgrades. No stability issues, unlike basically all other home grade all in one stuff I have experienced in the past.
