  • Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

    Like how he’s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.

    Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s

  • Sunshine game streaming tool adds Vulkan encoding plus XDG, Pipewire, and KWin direct screencast capture

  • On modern devices (pretty much anything that supports 5Ghz) it feels rock solid to me. I can forget I’m streaming. Even my old laptop from like 2013 gave me really good results. In my case I usually stream to something in the same room as that router, so ymmv.

    I’ve tried the moonlight homebrew on my “New 3DS” though, which only has 2.4Ghz WiFi, and had less success, even with the ridiculously low resolution. I usually can play for a minute or two, but as soon as there’s one lag spike it’s like it can’t catch back up. I need to try it again though, a recent update may have helped, I just didn’t test it thoroughly. But that’s, like, pretty niche haha!

  • My solution: I have a second, older (wifi 5 tho) router in access point mode plugged into my computer’s Ethernet port, and when my pc is on it forwards internet from its wifi connection to it. When I’m streaming to a device, it is the only device connected to that network. That also lets my computer have a wired connection to the router.

    Additionally, I analyzed the network utilization near me to find which WiFi channels had the least congestion. Tbh tho, as long as the channel is different from your main router, you’d probably be fine.

    I originally set it up for streaming wireless pcvr to my Quest 2, but I’ve found it works perfectly with Sunshine + Moonlight.

  • The stress of keeping lists up-to-date is such a big barrier for me 😭

  • What software are you using for CAD/modeling?

    Jump

  • +1 for OpenSCAD! If you have experience with scripting/coding, it feels really comfy. There’s a nice wikibook that taught me the basics.

    The full release hasn’t been updated since 2021, so I highly recommend running a development snapshot. The preview and rendering are much more performant. Enable the “manifold” engine if it’s not on by default.

    It works fine OOTB, but I customized it a bit to match my workflow: I use vim with an LSP as the text editor, and I use git to track my changes.

    Now I’ve began using bosl2 in most of my projects. It has a lot of QOL features and can save a lot of work.

  • Care to elaborate?

  • Portal 2: Community Edition coming to Steam 17 apr.

    Jump

  • Portal 2 already had some awesome mapmaking tools and a solid community. Maybe this is more like Mario Maker 2, where it expands the abilities for mapmakers. Plus some general visual/qol upgrades.

  • Portal 2: Community Edition coming to Steam 17 apr.

    Jump

  • This could be really cool for the Steam Deck and the upcoming Steam Machine, since unlike Portal RTX, this will be vendor-agnostic (and much less taxing on performance).

  • A Knight's Tale

    Jump

  • Oh, the horror!!

  • Revisiting the last truly great Call of Duty: Why a lot of people are playing a seven-year-old CoD again.

    Jump

  • If you didn’t read the article, I think you should: you’d get more perspective into why it’s that particular game. The areas he focuses on (like graphics and audio) are improved from the original trilogy, mostly from years of dev experience and technical progress (and loads of money).

    IMO though, those old COD games have much better longevity and community though because of the server browser, modding support and some general design stuff (they’re not just live service).

    I wouldn’t call it rubbish though, both games have many merits.

  • Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive

  • I’m imagine gamescope is the best-case, since there’s no other apps or visual effects.

  • Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial

    Jump

  • That’s a good point. Many people being victimized doesn’t inherently lessen the impact on each victim.

    I think my feelings on it are more a reflection on my own situation than the victim’s, and are rooted in jealousy. I’m a young adult. I know I, and many other people, have also suffered because of decisions these companies made in managing their social media platforms. And in my case, I too was a teenager when I began using these services.

    I’m incredibly jealous… Six million dollars is life-changing money to most people. That could put me in a very nice home, that could cover me going through college, that could cover the costs of starting a small business, and/or that could fund my retirement.

    But I don’t have the resources to go hire a lawyer and pursue legal recourse. A payout like that would likely cover legal fees, sure, but a win isn’t guaranteed, and legal proceedings are expensive while ongoing.

    I shared my view in that comment because I don’t think I’m alone. That’s why I think it could be controversial, like the McDonald’s case: especially hearing the headline, it seems like a huge amount awarded, and a lot of people are jealous.

    One viewpoint I hadn’t considered, that was mentioned by another reply, is the precedent this sets for future trials. Tbh I think that’s maybe an even bigger reason why this is a big win! Especially as more trials come, these companies could face meaningful consequences for their actions.

    It would take a lot of trials for it to not be pocket money for a megacorp tho… and their “solutions” for child safety we have been seeing in Congress are largely shifting the blame to others by implementing age checks… rather than making the platforms less evil for all users.

  • Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trial

    Jump

  • I definitely see the similarity, at least in public response. I mean, I read that and thought, “$6 million? That’s life-changing money!” And when I read about what the victim experienced, I thought: “Addiction, anxiety, depression and body dysmorphia. That’s all like, pretty common for teens these days. And often because of social media, for sure, but why is she specifically being compensated that much?”

    For the McDonald’s trial, the woman tried to settle and had to get lawyers to pursue damages. Even though public response was bad, that feels like less of a cash grab.

    But what caused this girl to sue? The article didn’t mention a big event afaik. Did she just have lawyer money and decide to? And nothing here changes, social media will remain the way it is. It definitely comes off to me as someone looking for a way to get money, even though I am happy with the ruling.

  • Assuming that most non-technical users (who wouldn’t research and enable it) are probably using Wine/Proton through Steam: yeah.

  • Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive

    Jump

  • From the article:

    Futex2, often referred to interchangeably with fsync, did make it to Linux kernel 5.16 as futex_waitv, but the original implementation of fsync isn't that. Fsync used futex_wait_multiple, and Futex2 used futex_waitv. Applications such as Lutris still refer to it as Fsync, though. It's still kind of fsync, but it's not the original fsync.

    So since Jan 2022, it’s been in the stable Linux kernel. For Debian and its derivatives, it would be included beginning with Bookworm.

  • Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive

    Jump

  • From what I found online, Steam enables esync by default, and fsync if your kernel supports it.

    Lutris has both options nowadays in the runner settings. Idk if they’re both enabled by default, but in my case they’re enabled. ymmv there.
