Nintendo didn’t put legal pressure on emulator devs for decades at this point, which made devs less cautious about preserving their pseudonymity.

Now it’s too late and they can’t stop Nintendo from finding out who they are and which mistakes they did at some point over the years.

Maybe a new generation of emulator developers will be more protective of their identity, by using hosting providers like Njalla or privacy networks like i2p. The latter would limit access (as it requires i2p), which isn’t desirable for most users.

Navigation within a single workspace is pretty much the same as in Sway/i3.

I don’t remember how it’s done in Sway/i3. If you have two monitors side by side, moving the focus from the left most window on the right monitor to the left, moves the focus to the left monitor.

A major difference is the workspace design. In Cosmic, there’s currently a single set of workspaces for each monitor. In Sway there’s one set shared between all monitors.

The workspaces can be either horizontal or vertical, which is useful depending on how you configure a multi monitor setup. This is because with vertical workspaces, moving down from the bottom window moves the focus to the next workspace (and vice versa).

In my case with two monitors side by side, this is awesome, because moving the focus feels like moving naturally on a single giant plane. E.g. moving down moves to the next workspace, then moving to the left moves to the left monitor, where I could move up to the workspace above etc.

It’s difficult to explain for me, so I recommend giving it a try (or maybe wait a while, depending on your needs, e.g. there’s no VRR, no window rules etc. Also, currently monitors have to be aligned at the top edge to be recognised as side by side. If they aren’t, moving between monitors and workspaces doesn’t behave right.).

I like the Cosmic tiling better than Sway, because it tiles through the long edge by default.

I.e. If I just two windows after each other, Sway will tile them as two equal columns. If I open another window, it’ll add another column, while making each column the same size.

Cosmic also creates two equal columns with two windows, but the next window tiles the focused column horizontally.
With three windows this means half the screen is a single window, the other half is two windows taking up a quarter of the screen. Obviously if you instead focus another window, it’ll be tiled instead.

This is basically the same behaviour as the autotiling script for Sway/i3, but it works reliably (I’ve always had issues with those scripts).

I disagree with the notion that it’s better for the cheaters to have an easier time (and less chance of being detected), but you’re right, BattleEye doesn’t solve the cheating problem for GTA.

Rockstar should fix their netcode and run game server on dedicated server, instead of their customers PC’s. I’d think decting aimbot isn’t the biggest issue, while cheaters are able to break entire lobbies…

IMO no game should require client side anti cheat except for shooters, where looking through walls and aimbot is actually difficult to detect server side. At least for those is it possible to find valid arguments (except for being lazy).

Cheat makers are likely behind this, asthey have monetary incentives to do so. If its Linux users I’d feel bad because stopping others from playing just because they can’t, is extremely bad behaviour.

That’s only true for new phones. Once they get older, the difference in performance is noticeable.

Replacing the battery after a few years is possible, upgrading the SoC is not.

Agreed. That’s even better.

A default group name, which can be changed individually would be great.

Yes, but that argument can be made against TOTP too.

SMS 2FA is less secure than TOTP, but still better than no second factor, since most criminals with access to a password database aren’t able to take over your phone number (on a large scale).

With most services allowing some kind of password reset over SMS, I also prefer no 2FA over SMS 2FA. I already lost an account because I changed my number.

They already have your birthday (and maiden name) through your friends’ contacts.

Being able to add birtdays manually is definitely useful, altough I believe it’s better and more organized to add them through contacts. (Not that I actually use Google contacts/calendar.)

Many games are fun, especially with friends, even if they are crappy on a deeper look (micro transactions etc.). Most mobile games are fun at first–the trick is stopping when they aren’t anymore.

With games blocking Linux users, we can’t even enjoy the beginning. And many more won’t even try to use it.

Yeah it’s sad to see more games fixing their bad net code with client side anti cheat. Remember, GTA Online is a game where a lobby is transparently hosted on someones PC, which allows them to cheat however they want.

If Rockstar used proper dedicated servers, this wouldn’t be an issue. Just like with Fall Guys and many other games.

A few weeks ago I thought about getting back into GTA Online, now I can’t.

No, this runtime only works if the developer enables it on their side.

It’s one year cooldown after joining a family share. I.e. if you leave half a year after joining, you have to wait another half a year to join another family share.

Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.

This DRM is built in to Play Integrity, and GrapheneOS only passes the basic check, so apps using this DRM won’t work.

Stronger levels of Play Integrity don’t work on GOS anyway, so hopefully devs won’t use this feature either.

Spoofing Play Integrity works with rooted phones, although it breaks from time to time.

Since most of the fediverse is run by volunteers, blocking ads isn’t much of a concern.

Though I do agree with the sentiment and I love Firefox + uBlock Origin on my phone.

Oh thanks, I didn’t know it’s an abbreviation.

IIRC Apple only is 1st in sales revenue and sold devices of a single sku. All Android phones combined have a far bigger share by volume.

Which makes sense, since iPhones are on average incredibly expensive, especially for many countries where they have to be imported.

For me it’s fine. These voices have gotten really good, so it’s no longer a pain to listen to them. In this case the script is pretty concise for the most part, which makes the video a good overview over the project.

To me the bigger problem is that it makes it more difficult to spot generated content.
