Similarly, in the EU there would be SEPA Instant Transfer, which could be used for a payment processing solution. However, it's optional for banks to implement it, and again, it's limited to EU...

If a bank is offering SEPA transfers (I'm not aware of banks here that don't), is has to offer SEPA Instant Transfers for the same price since early 2025.

Waiting for Wero...

Man, I hate it that they have cut off the system before (Giropay in my case) before the new one is kicking in!

Well, Germany here... No problems finding some Pilsner. And then some more. :D

So happy that they solved this. If you are a fan of the PS1 era racing games like Colin McCrae rally or V-Rally then this is for you!

Oh man, how we loved playing V-Rally, with a four-player adapter! Everybody being so stressed that we could have pressed diamonds in our backsides! ...except Sven, who felt asleep during the race. :grin:

Valve do actually work around it in a lot of cases, where they re-encode the videos into something Proton supports. To actually get those videos downloaded with the game, you need to ensure you have the Shader Pre-Caching system enabled

I heard this yesterday in the Steam forums and was very surprised. Does this connection exist for a long time already? Because people often recommend to disable shader cache due to games always downloading stuff and it not helping too much...

That does sound interesting.

Only...

Low Overhead: Runs on CPU—no dedicated hardware or GPU required.

... sounds to me like "All your super-duper GPU circuits will remain unused, we're hogging the CPU instead!"

New nvidia drivers (crying)

At your own risk, but I often had good experiences even with the experimental version. It seems the driver is so disconnected from the rest of the system that it usually doesn't break.

Did I mention "At your own risk"? ;)

I'm using Debian since 1998. I used to run testing, unstable, mixes, ... Nowadays, with kids and all, I even wait for the first point release, so, 13.1 will be it for me. (And I even had bad luck with 12.1 two years ago, running into a bug needing sorting out some packages manually. I think it was https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034993 [External Link] .)

Never mess with a raging mom!

The native package pulls in the libraries - and so does the Snap package... Of course. They're needed. You don't really see the count of packages containing the libd as a disadvantage, do you?

I do.

Ok. I don't.

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
steam-installer : Hängt ab von: steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2) ist aber nicht installierbar
E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

Well, there's something wrong with the state of your packages.
(Which should be repaired in any case, no matter Snap or Steam.)

steam-installer depending on steam-libs-i386 (= 1:1.0.0.79~ds-2) seems right according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/steam-installer [External Link]

Wanna share what you've got in your sources list(s)?

I guess "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" yields nothing?

Synaptic has a function edit => fix broken packages. I just learned about it and never used it, but you could give it a try.
