  • Heroic Games Launcher v2.19 released adding ZOOM Platform, AppImage updates and more

    Jump

  • Does "Zoom platform" here refer to the China-based video conferencing service famous for lying about their encryption features, or is there some other zoom platform?

  • Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

    Jump

  • I don't. Launching things is my desktop environment's job.

    Since the rise of game publishers' launchers, I have to use my (desktop) launcher to launch a (storefront's) launcher to launch a (publisher's) launcher to launch the game. It's probably the best example of the yo dawg meme I have ever seen. In other words, ridiculously annoying, not to mention wasteful of my time and system resources.

  • Scientists just overturned a 100-year-old rule of chemistry, and the results are “impossible”. UCLA chemists are rewriting the rules of molecular structure—it could reshape how future meds are made

    Jump

  • Do we really want clickbait headlines in the science community?

  • Trustworthy websites with recommendations, reviews, discussions about VPN, DNS, and similar?

    Jump

  • A site offering privacy advice is untrustworthy whenever you don't know the people, motivations, and influences behind it. In other words, practically none of them are trustworthy. Not even privacyguides (which did have some good advice when I looked years ago, but was not without flaws, and can always change).

    The best we can do in most cases is to use these sites to bring software, services, features, and risks to our attention, so we can verify that information with other sources and carefully consider it against our own needs.

    One rare case is eff.org. It's not a recommendation site, but does occasionally offer advice, and the organization is well known.

  • r/Silksong joins lemmy!

    Jump

  • I love the idea.

    I hope you'll reconsider the domain name, though. Dashes make them harder to type, harder to remember (was there a dash? an underscore? nothing?), harder to read aloud to someone else, and (in some user interfaces) impossible to select with a double click. A domain name containing a dash isn't unusable, of course, but is a perpetual source of friction and mild annoyance that could have been avoided.

  • The latest: Appeals court ends order barring ICE retaliation as agents deploy chemicals

    Jump

  • Your main link leads to an article titled, "Live: JD Vance defends ICE operations in Minnesota visit as state officials decry ‘misinformation’"

    It doesn't match the article you archived, either.

  • I need help with some niche micro controller programming

    Jump

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • In case you're not aware, libvirt/qemu/kvm exists, as does VirtualBox. I can't remember the last time I used VMWare.

  • Debian in its GUI (at least KDE, which I’m using at the moment) demanding the root password

    I run KDE Plasma on Debian. Discover (KDE's GUI for package updates) has never demanded the root password.

    I wonder why yours would do that. Maybe the difference is because my root account has password access disabled? If you're already a sudoer, you might try that.

  • YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia.

    Jump

  • TIL, not YSK

  • Discord expands age verification id system to more regions

    Jump

  • At-home STD tests offer new options for screening and treatment

    Jump

  • I dislike lemmyml too, but I your bot-like reposting of their content serves mainly to further their reach. I don't think you're making things better.

    Moreover, your posts are so fast and frequent that they dominate at least some of communities that you target, often leaving local members without a chance to post about the relevant topics on their own. Having watched it happen for more than a few weeks, I have concluded that your posts are mostly annoying, and probably do more harm than good.

    I don't expect to convince you to stop, but would you at least consider delaying your reposts by a day, and then proceeding only if nobody in a community you target has already posted about the topic?

  • Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight

    Jump

  • Almost certainly to protect invasive anti-cheat code that they expect your computer to run with system-level privileges.

  • Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say

    Jump

  • This seems like a good time to remind those soldiers of their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution, not a criminal dictator, and let them know that they can get help

    Jump

  • Easy Anti-Cheat - Requires manual removal after game uninstall

    Boot Protection - Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0

  • QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year

    Jump

  • I think there's plenty of room between gimmick and mainstream for a viable product.

    Not everyone cares if a phone is a little thicker if it means they get a real keyboard.

    As for the other challenges, Sony/Ericsson proved 15 years ago that they can be overcome, with the Xperia Mini Pro.

    This renames the problematic file so it will no longer interfere with your system updates. You can always rename it back later if you want to troubleshoot it, or just delete it.
