Fun fact: There’s a German glue manufacturer named after the Uhu which is large enough in some parts of the EU that people ask for a “Uhu” instead of a “glue stick”.

And the voice quality is also terrible.

That’s the thing that surprises me the most.

There are some great open source TTS engines/models out there, and they decide to go with Microsoft SAM.

In case you didn’t know, you can actually use Course World via https://opencourse.world/ on modded switches and on emulator.

Well, they also lost all my future DLC sales.

Not because I mind the censorship but because it insults me that their PC playerbase is not even worth a simple toggle for the censorship.

There are still some frame drops here and there. Definitely playable, but not something I would personally play on the Deck yet. Progress has been fast though, so in a year or so it might be stutter free.

It almost runs on the Steam Deck. So, not much.

Fedora Kinoite, because it fits my workflow the best and has a nice mixture of stable and leading edge.

Everything I run was containerized either way (Flatpak, Docker or Podman) long before I switched to an immutable distro.

I have lots of different development environments for various versions of different programming languages that are incredibly easy to setup, throw away and recreate with toolbox without having to dive into the language specific tools for creating virtual environments (venv, conda, …). On regular Linux/Windows systems I end up at a point after a few years where there is junk laying around everywhere from 6 different PHP versions, 7 gcc variants and 8 .NET versions.

I was on Fedora KDE before that and the main reason for choosing it was that Ubuntu/Debian/Mint were too old to include firmware for my GPU. Arch and derivatives are on the opposite side of the spectrum and are too new for my taste, I’m fine with waiting a few weeks for .1 versions to release with bugfixes.

As for why not Bazzite or Aurora: Because I wanted to be as close to the original (Fedora & KDE) as possible. The modifications those distros make (and I need), I can do myself in a few minutes.

I do recommend Bazzite or Aurora for less experienced people though, they have a lot of tweaks that Kinoite is really lacking. Kinoite, just like the Fedora KDE variant has a lot of polishing issues that quickly become gigantic obstacles for beginners (Nvidia drivers, Flathub repository, H264/H265 codecs, missing udev rules, …)

And one dude that really wanted to play Nier Automata on Linux.

If it’s for C#, I’m doing pretty well with VSCode/VSCodium on Linux.

WPF and Forms does not work but I also have a Rider license from work which I use occasionally to maintain one of our old WPF applications, which we converted to Avalonia XPF. It works great and we now also have a Mac and Linux version.

I loved my Lumia 1520, but it just doesn’t hold a candle to a modern Android phone with LineageOS installed. Both in functionality and in privacy.

Once again, the music goes hard in this show.

Didn’t quite warm up to the new voice actors yet, especially Panty.

Is the system completely automated in the US? We still have people from that department going through each picture, checking if there is indeed a violation. That person will then type out your license plate and a letter is sent to you.

If you pay, it’s done. If you don’t pay you will have to show up to court and make your case, while they will show up with that picture and date/time as proof.

The accuser in that case is the person that read the license plate from the picture.

That’s weird. Isn’t the accuser in that case the police or whoever is in charge of those cameras? The camera just provides evidence, doesn’t it?

They have a guide for how to set things up in a Proxmox LXC: https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/quickstart.html

what’s to stop me from just selecting Finland and entering bogus info?

The petition needs to be signed with the eID of a EU country, a EU passport or a EU identification card in most countries.

Unless you have one of those, you can’t sign the petition with bogus info.

Not sure how countries that don’t have those handle it.

Another cool option is Games on Whales: https://games-on-whales.github.io/

Altough you probably have to run it in a privileged LXC.

the Samsung car moving robots are kind of amazing.

Apparently it’s Hyundai, not Samsung. The article mentions Samsung and then links to an article about Hyundai’s robots.

Nonetheless, those things are surprisingly fast. Assuming they work as well as in that presentation.

Proton-GE is available as Flatpak directly: https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE

After installation it will be picked up by the flatpak version of Steam automatically.

If you use Steam in a flatpak, you can download the Proton-GE flatpak, which updates automatically.
