Still though, most of the IA's works are a massive benefit to all of humanity and attacking them like this is really terrible. It kinda reminds me of those idiots who glue themselves to paintings to protest climate change, and I wonder if all of them are just false flag operators trying to discredit the cause they claim to be championing. ...Maybe I just played too much Deus Ex.

What... This is a thing?? This is the first I've heard of it. Good god that sounds ridiculous and infuriating. The last thing we need is people discrediting something that will lead to the extinction of humans.

I don't have a Steam deck myself as I'm not a fan of portable gaming at all (Don't even play games on my Pixel phone) and don't want to play games unless its on my PC, but I'm glad for my nephew who hasn't been able to get one down there yet.

Yeah, my account was one of the millions stolen. I made the account a long while back to upload something. Just really sucks. They are already at risk for being shut down permanently due to the lawsuits, so they just didn't need this at all. They probably don't have the resources to defend this kind of attack or improve their security much.

I loved Descent and Descent II back in the day when they came out. I bought Descent 3 back then but couldn't get it working on my Pentium 2 PC, even though I had a Voodoo 2. I never had luck even getting it to run relatively recently, so I'm very grateful to the guy who released the source code that allowed these projects. I can finally play it!

Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: StellaI don't use Razer personally because I'm not convinced of the quality of their products. But this does seem really nice, wish there was something similar for Logitech and Asus

Its not very nice. openrazer only supports RGB stuff, DPI settings, Polling rate and some other fluff, but the main feature is missing. Custom keybinds, layers etc.

I own a razer basilisk v2, its decent mouse, but build quality isn't the greatest, the rubber on it started to fade quite fast and scrollbar rubber grip is sometimes slipping a bit, but i can at least adjust the resistance of the scrollwheel and mouse is quite comfortable in hand.

Yeah. I recently got a new mouse and had been considering a Razer until I found out that you cant change the bindings. Was really disappointed. I ended up getting a Logitech G203 gaming mouse instead, which I have been very happy with.

I played Halo 2 SO freaking much when it came out. Was on there day and night in online matches on my original Xbox. I played Halo 3 but then lost interest after that. I haven't played Halo in well over a decade.

Why are there so many Chinese users on Steam? I thought they have their own version created for the Chinese market?

Love this. It reminds me of the manga BLAME! which is one of my favorite mangas of all time.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanual

Quoting: GuestProbably similar. I just like how most everything is in the overview and the defaults are mostly sane to my use. I've played with Awesome and other WMs but ultimately I'm too lazy to get them where I want them.

I feel the same way, but assuming COSMIC gets all of the functionality I use in GNOME, it seems like a great alternative to switch to. Very batteries-included. I spent days setting up Sway and in the end I went back to GNOME because it has more features I need and I don't need to work for them.

COSMIC is not (yet) as pretty as GNOME, but much better for multi-monitor setups and general productivity. GNOME is shocking when you have multiple monitors. Even KDE handles it better, and it's still not great.

Quoting: Leahi84I REALLY don't like gnome. It looks too much like something Apple would make.

GNOME takes the good decisions from macOS and cuts out the bad ones.

- You can edit the file path in Nautilus, you can't in Finder
- Window buttons in the top right, not the top left, but you can choose!
- Has real, reliable window tiling! The basic stuff is enough for 90% of people. (macOS finally got basic buggy tiling after 41 years this week)
- Combines Mission Control, Launchpad, and Spotlight into a single key and manages to make it less confusing.
- Has a keyboard shortcut you can map for moving windows to specific workspaces.
- Let's you choose between App tabbing and Window tabbing. You can have both if you want! macOS only lets you page through your open Apps when you hit Command+Tab, and you need to hit Command+~ to page through open windows of the _current_ application, not all windows.
- GNOME has a real Maximise button that doesn't break the usefulness of workspaces. Need I say more?
- GNOME actually hides the dock completely unless you access the Activity Overview so you don't accidentally hover over it. Much improvement for productivity.
- With GNOME 47, Nautilus supports 1-click open when you're uploading files to Firefox for example! Ah, efficiency, finally. Finder only supports double-click open all the time :(
- Nautilus also supports adding bookmarks for SSH virtual filesystem shortcuts. Super handy for locally streaming from one computer to another. If you haven't gotten it already, my point is that Finder sucks. It's awful, horrible, no-good software. I used to be able to say "at least it has tabs!" but now Windows File Explorer has tabs so that's not an advantage anymore.
- The UI is prettier and easier to understand than macOS, without nearly as many hidden options. Did you know Finder doesn't even have a context menu option for "Moving" a file? That's right, you need to copy the file, and move it by hitting Command+Ctrl+V! Or how about the Display settings where you need to hold down a key on your keyboard to expose hidden options?! macOS is full of hidden options like this that are just bad design. GNOME hides some stuff, like extra keyboard shortcuts for workspaces (arrgh!), but the list is much smaller.
- The Info menu in Finder sucks. It's a jumbled mess of far too much text and too small! The Properties menu is very legible in Nautilus. Once again, Finder sucks.

Yeah, GNOME doesn't have a system tray, and that sucks, but I love everything else about it. And I also love Nautilus, which got much love and attention in GNOME 47. Definitely my favourite part of this update next to accent colours and XWayland native scaling.

I also like KDE and COSMIC. I'm not picky :)

Well, I'm glad you like it! I'll stick with KDE. To each their own.

Quoting: CGullIf Proton is there forever and Valve does nothing to shift publisher behavior then we are all just waiting for Proton and Steam Deck support to inevitably die due to the failure of Valve's subsidy. Then the carriage which brought Steam Deck users to the dance will turn back into a pumpkin and the entire Linux gaming market, now hollowed out by the exodus to Proton, will disappear as the entire Steam audience switches to Windows on some small device suspiciously shaped like a Steam Deck.

This feels a bit too pessimistic don't you think? I don't think it will ever come to that. Just seriously doubt it.
