Especially if you’re not gonna play stuff that the anticheat locks you out from, the experience is great. As other commenters have said, ProtonDB.com has resources for how well games on steam run under Proton / On Linux.

Although, I would recommend Nobara Linux over Chimera OS due to a lack of experience with Proton and other gaming-related tools (as in, Chimera developers’ lack of experience). Nobara Linux comes from the same developer as Proton-GE (GloriousEggroll). Proton is the tool that Valve developed to run Windows games pretty much seemlessly, and Proton-GE adds extra features and patches on-top of it that can help support more games or get the slightest extra bit of performance out of Proton. Nobara Linux extends this concept to the entire OS, with a stable Fedora base that gets a major update every ~6 months.

Nobara also consitently outperforms other Linux Distributions and even Windows regularly.

(This doesn’t mean that you don’t get updates for 6 months, just that major releases, e.g from 39 to 40 happen every ~6 months)

Note that dropping support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 came as part of a butterfly effect of the Chromium project - which Steam depends on - dropping support.

That’s not what I’m doubting here. I was raising awareness to the fact that a computer physically cannot be truly random. I know that pseudorandomness is enough as we cannot perceive a difference easily.

CSPRNG literally stands for “cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator”. All randomness in computers is pseudorandom. Not TRULY random

Radioactive sources for randomness aren’t really just put into your average household PC or phone either for obvious reasons.

We shouldn’t judge people for past decisons when new info comes out, especially when that new info makes them change. It will take some time for people to move and find a viable alternative.

I do not intend this to be an attack of any kind, please be more considerate of the fact that changes can’t be made instantly when you have an audience to move.

Well, computers physically cannot be random, they rely on logic

Note that for this attack to work, you have to be on Android 11 or below (or possibly an earlier patch) as by default accessibility services aren’t allowed to draw-over or interact with elements in the settings app unless you explicitly override it in developer options.

This extends to some other areas, like for when biometric/system lock APIs are used.

Late reply, but piped.adminforge.de is my server of choice, with piped.smnz.de and piped.lunar.icu as alternatives

ScottTheWoz ain’t who I expected here, but I guess it fits the topic

I’m really sad that they’ve confirmed they aren’t interested in open source for Obsidian either :(

lol that sounds like an existing old-YouTube bug that ReVanced also suffered of a while ago.

You’d wanna use an up-to-date version, but that’s hard on such an old android version

I’d suggest - even tho it isn’t 1:1 the same - that you export your subscriptions from Google and import them either into LibreTube (closer to the official YT app) or NewPipe.

Because LibreTube uses the (awesome) Piped Project to load videos and info, you can also sync data using it and your favourite piped instance. (piped.video, piped.smnz.de, piped.adminforge.de are personal recommendations)

I agree! It’s actually it’s own protocol, being built on top of the IP (internet protocol) ofc

The webpages are essentially pure text. No JS, and everything is designed to be super privacy-friendly. Gemini is like the pinnacle of the SmallWeb

Make sure you really only selected YouTube subs, otherwise they’ll give you like 6 50gb ZIP Files (depending on how much they know about you 😉)

I would wager a guess and say that many joined long before they got this bad, probably because back then their visions and values were a lot more aligned

Nowadays I rarely see more than hectic startups and Big Tech, both of which have massive downsides which affect people outside of their field too.

Additionally, especially at the HQs of Google and others, many SWEs live in vans on the street because rent is too high, they cannot just work somewhere else as that won’t actually change the situation

I have no idea, I think its kinda merged with Duo and Meet?

somehow, it still exists.

Judging from how many SWEs are in the US, its basically this or loose your job. And that’d be a bit bad because of how many different pricing crisis there are at the moment.

there could be a patchset made with ReVanced-CLI. It’s an easy bypass if you know a bit of Java/Kotlin, even with release APKs

newpipe does YouTube, SoundCloud, Peertube, and Bandcamp. NewPipe isn’t YouTube-Only.

Cool, a new way to troll AI
