Freetrack in my simulation games is why I still have Windows on my old gaming desktop - the tracking protocol that those sims use isn't supported under Linux 😔 as well as another that specifically looks for the Logitech G hub to interface with the wheel.

Aside from the simulators, I've been gaming on Linux on my deck and haven't run into any issues at all, especially with Proton-GE handy to run "unsupported" titles

Having less personal time and rising electricity costs has made the Deck my primary gaming machine lol.

I don't support games with DRM, so pretty much everything I play works flawlessly on it (as well as "unsupported" titles via Proton GE)

My poor Athlon II x64 6400 isn't that old 😭

I am actually surprised my nostalgia build still works TBH

Pocket was really useful a ~decade ago, when it was still an add-on that did its one job: saving webpages in a "reader mode" to read offline. Now it's just sponsored spam IMO

Sounds like a very neat feature, but IMO still not great for people outside of the discord server esp. if the threads can't show up in a search engine

Oh really? Must have announced that since I stopped watching LMG. She (they?) are still on the show?

Not the OCer, but the last time I saw Emily was in a video posted to their personal channel. I stopped watching LTT a while ago so no idea if there's been any presence in videos since then.

Kind of miss the linux videos and more in-depth tech content. And some of the other interesting personalities like Luke, Riley, Jake etc.

The thing with LTT is, on top of the well known controversies, LTT's current production themes aren't of much interest to me personally, not helped by the PC hardware market being so stagnant. Instead of upgrading my ancient 1060, I opted to purchase a Steam Deck instead - mainly because it runs Linux, supports Steam Input, supports charge limiting on the internal BMS, and given Valve's track record with obsolete devices (my two Steam Link boxes still recieve updates, and they were discontinued years ago) I was pretty firmly sold.

The games that won't work on my Deck are games that I wouldn't purchase anyway (Not a fan of DRM), and every single "unsupported" game that I've been interested in so far has worked just fine under Proton-GE. One demo game didn't support the Deck's 1280x800 resolution, so I just changed the Gamescope virtual resolution to 1080p in Steam's game settings, and that solved it.

Wow, now that is literally insane and super awesome at the same time lol

This just screams greed IMO.

Sony (Aniplex), the owner of Funimation (and new owner of Crunchyroll), who actually produced and holds the rights to most of Funimation's library via their partnership with a Japan-based subsidiary, are choosing to revoke your access to your media.

Funny thing is they merged in 2021, not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.

Haven't (yet) looked at the code repo to see if it already takes into account my suggestion:

Would be nice to also utilize account age, ghosting (liked posts, followed communities etc) and instance reputation (fediseer) so dormant accounts and troll/farming/repost bots a la Reddit are recognized and handled as appropriate

The ideal solution would probably be data driven, thanks to the existing Lemmy database it should be possible... would be an absolutely massive undertaking I think though.

Noticed that flag on several occasions but never knew what it was called - thanks for sharing!

That was the cleanest and most curated movie site I have ever come across, honestly a big loss to have them gone. Consistent naming scheme, amazing torrent video quality (unlike low bitrate YTS), icons/logos to show what medium the rip was from. Literal gold

The way Proton works is really fascinating, and also requires a ton of effort from Valve. Recently found out most games are "unsupported" because they require proprietary Windows Media Foundation libraries that can't be redistributed on the Deck - so Valve actually modifies the source game assets to no longer depend on the proprietary libraries.

These games often run flawlessly with Proton GE, a community version which includes the proprietary libraries (but must be installed via Desktop mode, thankfully there is an app on the Discover store that does this automatically)

I'm glad to hear that the main author of Proton-GE is joining forces with the various non-Steam Linux game launchers to make game compatibility even more seamless for the wider Linux user base in general!
