Oh dear - ARC Raiders was logging your private Discord chats

Quoting: Cley_Faye.Either their dev are worst than an entry level junior intern, or there's some high level incompetence all around.
On arc raiders there were terrible exploits and security holes, you could pull up the UE5 (?) developer console and use it to teleport back to the game round in which you were eliminated. Or fire the single shot weapon 10 times in 0.1 second with an animation cancel. Etc.

Also what the hell is the finals also affected? I played it often & have my discord linked, nevet played arc outside of server slam

Quoting: _MarsMaybe some form of remote attestation
No no no no no. That sorta kinda kills the purpose of using linux, plus I need out of tree or custom kernel modules on all PCs I use for at least 1 piece of hardware.

Bazzite gets a big update with KDE Plasma 6.6, Mesa 26.0.1 and more

Quoting: Stellathe only reason they used Ptyxis in the first place was because of Konsole's seriously lacking container support, which are very important for the immutable distro workflow.
I personally dislike Discover as it feels slow and bloated due to the many different backends it supports and despite being called Discover, the discoverability of apps feels lacking in comparison to Bazaar. I even started using Bazaar on my Steam Deck.
re, Discover: agreed however it seems to have improved in Plasma 6.6
re, konsole: I switched to konsole from ptyxis months ago, not being able to split tabs was more critical than having a button to enter a container instead of typing distrobox enter. Does ptyxis have any other enhancements?

Minecraft Java is switching from OpenGL to Vulkan for the Vibrant Visuals update

Quoting: Developer12This is not correct. Realistically, vulkan is broken below 6th gen skylake. In theory haswell/broadwell GPUs could support it, but the hasvk driver implementation is still very incomplete and not actively seeing work. As for ivybridge/sandybridge before it, there's a partial attempt at a vulkan implementation but even 1.0 is fundamentally broken due to hardware limitations. It likely will see no further work.
I daily drive a laptop with Broadwell, vulkan is usable on it

Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions

Quoting: scaineBut... again, this isn't what I'm talking about when I disparage genAI. From the article:

I tried to find a short source as I recalled that something akin to GenAI was used in this specific discovery, instead of checking the content of the source. My bad.

PS: If I use at least 2 quotes or links, do I end up in the mod queue?

Quoting: ScottCarammellstill waiting for that legitimate use case the technology is sure to get. I mean this is supposed to be the next motor vehicle or whatever, right? there's gotta be something huge right around the corner. not like this was all a giant, unbelievable waste of time, money, life and resources for absolutely nothing of value. that's impossible. the people on wall street said otherwise. they're supposed to be smart, right?
I'll drop another one: generative ai found an algorithm to multiply matrices faster

Quoting: Persephone the SheepPart of me is like "man now minecraft can't run on anything" but also vulkan support have been here since 600 series nvidia with kepler and HD 7000 series AMD with GCN 1 both from 2012 so as long as your gpu isn't more then 14 years old you can still play as long as they don't go past vulkan 1.2 because of kepler. I'm not sure about the laptop side with intel so that concerns me. I don't know how kepler does with vulkan I know it does terribly with DX12 my GT 640 is dead so I can't check for myself. I just hope this doesn't effect too many people.
On linux side:
* Intel GPUs found in Intel Gen 6 & above have active support and vulkan 1.4, can run latest dxvk or vkd3d
* Intel Gen 5 has Vulkan 1.3, supports up to dxvk 2.5.3. Can run minecraft with zink.
* Gen 4 has 1.2
* Gen 3 either has 1.2 or nothing

Below has nothing

On windows side, according to the url, anything under gen6 has nothing. However I recall the same document mentioned 1.2 support all the way back to Gen 2 in the past.
