  • Lutris is AI slop now

    Jump

  • I could never get lutris to even install its flagship games with explicit "support“ and had better luck following online documentation or wine directly.

    So I guess I'm saying, that makes sense. No big loss other than it would be nice I'd there was the tool lutris purported to be to help new Linux converts that had the ideals and quality the Linux community strives for.

  • We can just do the adult check thing the usual way.

  • Pass.

    Its my computer, I own it, gtfo and let me use it how ever I want.

  • Not you... Well damn I was briefly really excited to run into Jordan Rudess on Lemmy!

  • Mozilla is now encouraging unattributed slop code in Firefox

    Jump

  • You tell people they can turn their brain off and trust the AI enough and they might just start doing it.

  • Microsoft's planned new AI trick for Edge will 'automatically open the Copilot side pane' with Outlook email links — and I can feel the hate already

    Jump

  • I used Edge for business tasks. Not like work task, or normal browsing, etc. But figured if someone was going to send me an excel document, if I say “well I opened it in edge" when it breaks, it avoids some problems.

    But with the latest updates they've really been "Microsofting" it hardcore. Chrome dialogs with broken buttons, impossible to use combined tabs behaviour, dead end settings pages with no controls, crashes, slower and slower browsing...

    It's becoming such a disaster I can't even use it for that anymore. Now this? Thank god Firefox is still around. Legit hearing people talking about it again...

  • What your Linux Desktop says about you

    Jump

  • Yeah I get that, but I just switched between the latest GNOME and the latest plasma and it looks the same to me

  • What your Linux Desktop says about you

    Jump

  • I didn't realize they where different. What does KDE do better for you?

  • Good enough, dependable. 😅

  • What your Linux Desktop says about you

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm tired of the GNOME hate so I checked out pretty quick and here's a rant.

    I basically, I want 2 things.

    1. A WM that just works with modern interfaces.
    2. A DE that disapears 99% of the time when I'm actually using my computer and shows me just enough to get to my next task when I ask.

    GNOME does this. In my opinion KDE doesn't.

    If the process of making your prettiest UI is the thing you're using your computer for then KDE seems optimized for you but that's not me.

    I don't want to see the UI. I don't want to spend time messing with the UI. I want to make it small and black the first time I log in. Maybe change a keybind. Then I want to split screen a terminal and a browser and get to work.

    This is GNOME. It's fine. Stop crapping on people who like that and

    And before you asked, I daily drove KDE for several years like a decade ago but got tired of fighting with it. I tried KDE again late last year and it's gotten a lot better and I'm sure someone committed enough could trim it down the way I want. I tried a couple times and to its credit, I almost got there before getting hidden widgets or broken widgets that caused me to wipe everything and start over. I used to crash the widget manager regularly so it seemed better. But it felt slower and I never was really happy with it so... Not worth the effort.

    Jump

  • Yeah it sucks, but when we rise it's like strawberry fields.

  • The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.

    Jump

  • Yeah... All the tools in Linux are going to do this weird thing where they expect it to behave like a normal key. So you'd have to do all the hacks mentioned to make it work. For example, GNOME keybind stops detecting the key bind when you release. Etc. Maybe the kernel will accept a “broken copilot key hack“ that implements it but it's not good.

    Even with hacks, it still won't work like a modifier like most people use alt/ctrl/win because those rely on knowing the key up to see multiple keys pressed together before release. So... Broken.

  • Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models

    Jump

  • As a Linux gamer, nvidia was already on thin ice.

    Also I had past them up on recentish purchases since they only really controlled the highest end of the market which I don't have the budget for. So honestly I have no intention of welcoming them back unless there is literally no other option. You made your bed.

  • Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers

    Jump

  • Kind of makes sense really when you think about it. The vast majority of consumers have had all their wealth eroded over decades to the point no one can buy anything. Better to let the AIs buy everything now.

  • AI Didn't Break Copyright Law, It Just Exposed How Broken It Already Was

    Jump

  • 2 points to consider.

    1. Humans can't digest the entirety of the internet
    2. Humans transform through lived experience. At worst current ai is just the statistical correlation of existing information at best you could say a model is trained by a humans experience. Neither are the same.

    I don't think llms are without value, but treating them like they think or create new things is the problem imho.

  • Keyboard Chatter

    Jump

  • As soon as I said that, I realized Ive not had the problem with keyboards but constantly replace mi e switches.

    Here's a video about that digs into why

  • Apparently it's what I'm electronics is called bounce. Because we live in the real world, a metallic switch can't make full connection instantly. Lots of messy things happen as the metal approaches. Arcing, uneven contact, physical bouncing, etc.

    Its actually a bit hard to solve but lots of ways to deal with this. Stiffer/faster contact, slower polling, debounce circuits, software algorithms...

    I've not experienced this but I assume what the poster is experiencing is aging copper intersecting with "higher is better“ polling rates for marketing, and cut costs.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think that was not the case during their recent lawsuit with Apple. So relatively recently that changed and was limited for a "good" reason.

    No Linux support though so whatever. Useless to me.

  • How to revert Firefox’s latest changes to address bar suggestions

    Jump

  • Not normal for me but I recently opted in to Firefox's telemetry so they could see all the trouble I'm going through to turn off their new features in their reporting.

    Will it change their mind? Probably not. But at least it'll be there in the numbers
