California is a big place.

You can still make shortcuts to your steam games to launch them outside of steam. However I have noticed that the Blizzard launcher doesn't seem to fully quit after quitting the system tray icon, I have to click stop game in steam. I guess I still prefer this to having unused wine/proton process running in the background.

JTskulk ,

I found that changing KDE activities (like a virtual desktop) back and forth fixes it.

Installing battle.net in steam is really easy. Just add non-steam game in steam and choose the battle.net installer, then right click on it in steam and click properties, then compatibility, and choose Force the user of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and choose Proton Experimental. Then just run it and install it like normal. Once it's finished you just repeat the process for the actual installed battle.net program or whatever blizzard game you want. With this, you don't have to mess with running custom commands. The blizzard launcher will be located somewhere like "/home/me/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2806461641/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe" where the big number after compatdata is something else. You can run the command
find ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata -iname '*battle*.exe to help find it. Also you can tell Steam to always use proton experimental if you want, it's been good to me. Good luck!

Haha no, it's technically not an emulator. Emulation means having a whole fake CPU that runs your software. Wine doesn't do that, instead it makes the windows exe run in Linux and provides an API so the calls your windows program makes run natively.

Tldr emulation is slow, wine makes your programs run natively.

I switched to Linux for gaming a year ago and I have been blown away by how good it is.

Gnome's demented ideas make it into apps I run in KDE. I don't need buttons, drop-down menus, and text input fields in my title bar lol. I'm lookin at you, LACT.

JTskulk ,

Gnome is copying windows by putting buttons on the title bar lol

JTskulk ,

You don't know what my KDE looks and acts like. I know exactly what your Gnome looks like because it's not as customizable, they're all extremely similar.

JTskulk ,

Yeah, check out Vesktop/Vencord. The plugins are great.

Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data (www.theverge.com)

Avast, the cybersecurity software company, is facing a $16.5 million fine after it was caught storing and selling customer information without their consent. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the fine on Thursday and said that it’s banning Avast from selling user data for advertising purposes.

JTskulk ,

Sounds like you need the noscript browser extension instead.

JTskulk ,

Nah it's pretty good. Just a little rough at first as you whitelist the websites you go to. After that they all load quicker since you're blocking a bunch of tracking and advertising sites.

JTskulk ,

Good point, let's censor political speech.

This feature is unavailable while the vehicle is in motion (despite the pressure sensor detecting the passenger operating the shitty touch screen.)

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI. (www.tomshardware.com)

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI.::At the recent World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a counterintuitive break with tech leader wisdom by saying that programming is no longer a vital skill due to the AI revolution.

Based young Lemmy user, welcome!

In typical Microsoft nonsensical naming schemes, they had nowhere to go after Xbox 360.

JTskulk ,

This is the real reason, they were afraid consumers would think "3 is bigger than 2 so the Sony one must be better".

I think Nintendo gets a pass because they never used numbers anyway: NES -> SNES -> 64 -> gamecube -> wii -> switch. The 64 of course was about the hardware technology and not the generation or anything.

JTskulk ,

I pre-emptively stopped when I switched to PC gaming in like 1996 lol

"What a slimey little weasel-ass BITCH does.." LMAO fucking gettem Ross!

Fucking canonical, snap just keeps getting worse and worse.

Windows crap that Linux distros have had for literally decades.

I was edging, but this comment pushed me over the edge to completion. Thank you.

"Tight integration" means the company's software works well with their other software. It doesn't mean locking out all others, whether they integrate well or not.

Got a link?

Oh it's typing/chat suggestions, the same thing we already get with our keyboards. For some reason I thought you meant error messages written by AI haha.

JTskulk ,

Imagine complaining about Linux users instead of switching to Linux.
