I mean, i prefer ancient code over AI slop tbh, doesn’t sound that bad, as long as it gets the job done and doesn’t have vulnerabilities.

How is finding vulnerabilities and patching them enshittification?

I had more of a need for android emulation when i was still using subscription services that don’t have a native linux version and their webbrowser version is kneecapped. Something like apple music is a good example of that. But i gave up music streaming and starting buying CDs and selfhosting them, so now i’m not sure what need i would have for android emulation honestly. I can’t think of any android app that i would want to run on my pc.

Ah, did not know that actually. I think i used the official mullvad cli on NixOS once since they had it packaged anyway, but on other distros i always used wireguard to connect, so that explains why i haven’t encountered that.

Kinda curious what applications give you trouble without systemd? I ran Void linux for like 2 years and now i’m on Guix, and never really had issues with applications because of systemd not being present.

Well we’ve seen already what happens with this upscaling tech in general. Games being less and less optimized. Plus ray tracing being pushed on us, tanking performance for a marginal improvement, and sometimes it even makes games look worse imo. I remember a time when it wasn’t considered normal that a brand new flagship card needs upscaling to run a game with good performance. Well anyway, what i was trying to say with that in mind was that i wouldn’t be surprised if games become less graphically impressive ootb, because they can just throw the AI slop filter on top.

Lets hope they keep having toggles

Yeah fuck them for being upset about the idea of living in a world where every game looks like the same generic slop

I mean, i never even played resident evil and don’t know the character, but i still had strong opinions on this. I’m just against slopifying art, and the example with grace that they showed in particular looked like the most generic slop ever. I don’t think it has much to do with fans of the game in particular being upset with this.

Depends a bit on your setup. If you’re using systemd you can use the logind.conf as already mentioned, or if you’re on a non-systemd distro you can use the forked elogind, which works pretty much the same way. For locking your session when suspending, since i use wayland, i use swayidle for that. In its config i just put before-sleep 'swaylock', which will execute swaylock before the system goes to sleep.

I don’t have any experience with those drives, but i do have an LG BE16NU50 drive, which i already had when i was still on windows, and it worked on linux no problem. I also use it to play/rip CDs. I’m not sure if it’s any different for 4k bluray drives, since mine is older and 1080p only, but from my experience it just works.

I’ve never even seen a tv with dp before lol, nevermind one with the specs i’m after. Although tbf i’m not that informed about the tv market. I only payed attention to it when i wanted one for the desk.

Why are you so against this? Just because it’s a smaller group of people that needs this feature it’s not worth implementing, and the people that need it can just suck a fat one? Also, assuming technology keeps advancing, wanting more than 4k60 output isn’t going to be a rare request as time moves on.

I’m not sure what you mean. I think all TVs should have displayport, since regardless of what model it is, people also like plugging their pc into the living room tv for couch gaming. I just mentioned the C series as an example because they’re popular with desk gamers. Alternatively, having hdmi 2.1 support would be another solution, and seems more feasible than trying to get tv manufacturers to put displayport on their TVs, because they refuse to do it for some reason.

LG C series OLED in particular is a popular choice as a gaming display, no displayport on those puppies. I got one myself because it was actually a better deal compared to a similar OLED monitor.

And not just an editor, but an entire environment! I’ve only been using emacs for a few weeks now, but i’m really enjoying it. I’m not a developer, but i still find magit really awesome to use for my git needs, and atp i’ve replaced yazi with dired as my keyboard-driven file manager.

In emacs ctrl+y is paste, which is weird to me because i’m pretty sure even in emacs the logic is that y stands for yank, but in every other program i’ve used so far yank means copy, not paste. In the end though i feel like muscle memory from other editors don’t bother me as much, and i can learn multiple at the same time. I started with evil mode for vim bindings for a short while, but now i’m diving into pure emacs bindings.

If we’re talking purely something basic to be able to edit some shit on the system i think i would choose nano, purely because i’ve used it for years to edit everything (yes, even config files in full programming languages lol) and thus i’m very familiar with it. If we’re talking anything terminal-based in general, i like helix as a modal editor. I chose it over neovim at the time because i didn’t feel like configuring the whole thing, and helix is pretty much ready to go with lsp and everything ootb. A few weeks ago though i decided to make the switch to emacs, since i use guix now, so it felt like a natural fit. I might check out emacs in the terminal at some point, but i’m sticking with the gui for now.

I’m not sure what GNU is going to do. A while back they announced that they wanted to make sure free software phones were going to be a thing, but i don’t think they’re forking android to do it.

I’m sure this post isn’t going to be controversial at all lol
