[Game] Suicide Squad Update Makes Game Unplayable on Steam Deck
  • That's a user from Mastodon. Lemmy is part of the fediverse so any ActivityPub capable server can see Lemmy posts (it just might be formatted a bit differently). From their end they're replying to a toot.

  • Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.
  • Look into MakeMKV. It's "free" while in beta (in practice you need to input a new license key from their forums occasionally, so inconvenient unless you buy a real license) and can rip Blu-Rays with no issue. For ripping 4K, though, you'll need a drive that supports LibreDrive which bypasses all of the drive's built-in DRM. I personally use an LG BU40N in a Vantec external enclosure.

  • DOOM Eternal removed Denuvo and it plays great on Steam Deck
  • You'll be disappointed if you're looking for "more DOOM 2016"- Eternal is a different beast entirely. Feels much more like a realtime first person puzzle game than a mindless arena shooter. Knowing enemy weak points and what guns do the most damage to that specific enemy + micromanaging ammo, health and armor is a BIG part of Eternal's gameplay loop. It's very good, but it's quite far removed from 2016 in terms of gameplay.

  • What's up with all these immutable distributions? What are the benefits and disadvantages of them?
  • Not particularly, the workflow on your Arch system will be the same as any other distro, that's the nice thing about Distrobox.

    I would highly recommend looking into the distrobox-assemble command, though: it lets you declaratively build distroboxes with the packages and config you need on them. I have a personal box which operates as my primary terminal that's automatically destroyed and recreated on every boot. This way, the packages I always use in a terminal are available, and I can add something I need temporarily with no issue without worrying about forgetting about that package being there down the line and causing some weird update failure or general bloat.

  • What's up with all these immutable distributions? What are the benefits and disadvantages of them?
  • It does take some adjusting- the pitfalls you'd encounter with Distrobox on Universal Blue are the same as Distrobox on any other distro, so first I'd say to try moving your workflow to Flatpak and Distrobox on your current system or a VM and see how it works out. Generally Flatpak is preferred to a rootless Distrobox which is preferred to a rootful one, but sometimes there's not a Flatpak for something (especially command line tools) and you need access to hardware or system level stuff that only a rootful one can do properly.

  • I want to switch to android
  • That's because of a difference on protocol (iMessage vs SMS). This wouldn't matter if they chose to support RCS which is effectively the Android iMessage equivalent and is an open standard (on paper, not necessarily in practice) but that will never happen.

  • System76 or Framework laptop?
  • I can agree with this, my Darter has horrendous battery life and had a ton of bugs that made the thing really annoying to use until a recent BIOS update. I can't help but feel like I got burned.

    Next laptop is a Framework for sure.

  • Google updates privacy policy to train its AI on everything you post online
  • Are we sure this isn't just for clarity? "Language model" implies Bard and such already as they're more formally called "large language models." While I don't like that they're doing it, I think it's very likely they've been publicly scraping information for quite some time (in fact, for an LLM like Bard, they pretty much have to!), and have just changed the wording to fully disambiguate between Google Translate and Bard.
