Its main goal is to be a frontend for Epic, GOG, and Amazon games. It does also support manually adding games, so you can use it similarly to Lutris if you’d like. They support most of the same features, so its just preference.

I think his is underestimating how big HL3 is as a part of gaming culture. Half Life really wasn’t part of my generation, but I grew up with HL3 being memed constantly. The constant fake leaks and rumors have kept the idea alive. Just a couple months ago I saw a lot of people genuinely believe it was going to be announced during The Gaming Awards thanks to a leak that Valve would be present. Every gaming event has chat full of people spamming Half Life 3 memes. Plus, Alyx got a lot of younger gamers to play the series.

If Half-Life 3 were actually announced the hype would 100% be there, even if most of it will be from people who had never played the games.

Genius way to create a ton of ill will towards Valve, SteamOS and Linux as a whole.

Agreed. I doubt he expected the project to be anywhere near this popular considering how many Firefox forks there are, and he’s been doing a great job keeping up with everything that popularity comes with.

That comment about their security updates is a couple of months old. Zen has made significant changes to how they handle releases to stay up to date with Firefox, some of which were mentioned in the thread.

The Nix package is functional. Nixpkgs sometimes chooses not to add beta software that is receiving very frequent updates, especially if the package takes a lot of resources to build. In those cases, it makes more sense for the package to be maintained outside Nixpkgs for the time being. NixOS users can get Zen from this Flake, which patches the official binary. COSMIC Desktop is another example of this.

Pages not looking sharp sounds like it’s probably a font or scaling issue.

you seriously have issues. and you’re a dick on top of that.

you’re either a troll or just a shitty person.

You need to get a grip. Framework is a private company that has done very well by its customers and supporters so far. Stop being so fucking negative.

By similar devices I obviously mean ITX PCs with similar chipsets. The average PC isn’t giving you 128GB of VRAM for $2k.

Local AI is a difficult thing to do right now, making a product to allow people to use AI without giving up their privacy is great.

its definitely a small business and homelab focused device. ill 100% be getting one for some local AI compute in my lab.

insanely hostile response to something like this. they attempted to have these parts replaceable, AMD physically couldn’t do it. they’ve still made it as repairable as possible, and will without a doubt be more repairable than similar devices using this chipset. fucking relax, being reactionary without being informed is dumb.

Oh yeah I’m sure you could’ve done it no problem

It will most likely be dynamic, with the option to statically set it.

All it means is that one moderator made a dumb decision. But I’m sure that’s never been a problem on the fediverse.

Hmm good point. Honestly didn’t think about that. In that case I’m surprised they’re keeping the Bluesky account up, the replies are 90% negative there.

Many mods were made way easier with a recent Proton update. Lots of games use DLL overrides to load mods, which required setting launch commands to use through Proton. This is no longer an issue, so any mods that work by doing this will now function perfectly out of the box.

I recently nodded GTA and the mod had specific instructions for Linux, which I was able to simply ignore thanks to this update.

Most games that use the Nexus mod manager can also be nodded manually, but I do agree that having a native launcher is really nice. I’ve already used it with Cyberpunk. Hopefully native Mod Organizer 2 will happen one day!

Btw, their Mastodon account has more followers than their Bluesky and Threads accounts combined, both of which they are keeping. What a stupid decision.

I’ve never used Findroid, but they work on my regular Jellyfin app. I think on Roku transcoding is required, but afaik that’s on Roku not supporting the subtitle format.

I now extract all my subs, but for the first 2 years using it I left everything embedded and it always worked normally. Even with some advanced ones like Jujutsu Kaisen and One Pace, which both use stylized ones.
