  • Critics are mostly positive on Starfield, but not unanimous: From 10/10s to 'cold, lifeless, and uninspired'

  • Well, not being able to travel through a system like in elite dangerous or other games, no man's sky mentioned in the there (seemless transition between planet and space), is a bit disappointing.

    The rest of the game seems a bit between mixed and great from the summaries in the article.

    A more in detail look at each review would be needed to understand where the game lacks and where it would be good.

    From the summary, for me, it would be likely that it could be interesting to try. But not for high expectation.

  • first major patch for Baldur’s Gate 3, addressing over 1000 bugs, balancing, flow issues and much, much more.

  • There was a bug where save files were not saved after too many choices. It got patched, but steam sync seemed to be the issue.

  • I don't know if that loophole may work. But if it does, it may work only for a time until a consumer association escalates that to the European court of justice.

  • Per connexion would be pretty bad. Per network.

    Let's say you want to set a static DHCP ip from your router. The only way to do so (from the router, I'm not talking from the phone), is by assigning an IP to a MAC address.

    If the address is randomised per connection, affecting a static DHCP ip would be impossible.

    Another thing a router often has is some sort of dhcp memory. It remembers the ip it gave to a certain MAC address for some time, then when the device connects back, it assigns the same IP it had before.

    So if the ip changes each time either the MAC address changes each time (not sure it's default), or the router has no memory.

    Do NOT try it.

  • Amazon Replacement?

    Jump

  • Amazon is as you said extremely efficient on their warehouse and shipping because of their centralization and size. They can build extremely expensive warehouse to keep being efficient and surpass the competition.

    There would maybe be possible to get an "enhanced" activity pub in order to protect privacy and financial informations. There is already something similar but without activity pub : a multitude of website where it is possible to buy things.

    But there still needs to be some centralization, either through the postal service for small companies, or through centralised warehouse companies, with spzcialized equipments. And both of these things are already in place.

    However if the OP wants a decentralized Amazon like efficiency, it won't happen. The costs will increase and it will take more time, because the way the shipment will work will heavily depend on the seller.

  • Amazon Replacement?

    Jump

  • There are malls, markets, things like that. These are just the front end for the customers to buy things, the retailer.

    As you said there are centralisation behind. Either through the same company managing all those different malls, or through Wholesalers working in the background selling to a lot of retailers.

  • What is your experience with Nobara?

    Jump

  • Here is a video comparing Nobara and Fedora. Not sure if it would be very helpful, but it may show what Nobara is changing. https://youtu.be/5eKSQT5mV-c

    Also 3 months ago, so maybe some elements have changed slightly.

  • On Linux you're not stuck on a single theme. On gnome there is a plethora of extensions allowing to move the task bar as you want. Display the apps on it or not... And plenty more customization.

    Gnome has however limited a lot the theming of the desktop (window color, border...). And now it's a bit clunky to install themes other than the default ones.

    KDE has more customizations and settings, so much that it could be overwhelming at first.

    There are also some differences with the file manager. I prefer Nautilus from Gnome (you can still install it on kde, tho it won't have the same look as the other apps).

    And the KDE disk manager may as well be trash in my hands. I can't even setup a mount at boot without getting errors. So I just install Gnome Disks as I find it pretty easy to use.

    on Linux if you have multiple partitions, and you want to set a shortcut to a secondary partition, you need to mount the partition (activate it). In Linux a partition is like a folder. It is mounted to a folder.

  • How is LineageOS for privacy?

    Jump

  • You can't rely install that. There can be microg (not sure if it's in the distributed rom), but there is no system integration with microg, so G apps cannot work. Neither a lot of apps based on play services.

    Microg however offers a modified LineageOs rom where they have installed the system integration for micro G. On that rom, the G apps and apps requiring G services do work.

    Maybe it could be a bit more privacy friendly than using the direct Google services, but it still connects to Google to get some services for some apps.

  • Sites scramble to block ChatGPT web crawler after instructions emerge

  • Like it is useful... Open ai already got all the useful info out of the websites.

    Tho maybe for the sites generating new content it may have a use. But all the content before that is already lost to chatgpt.

  • Palia has launched into Open Beta

    Jump

  • It seems to run through some script from someone one reddit using Lutris. Not sure if it's validated yet or not on Lutris. (maybe not very stable)

    And they most likely won't be on steam before any full release.

  • 50€ for a premium clothing. Or 20€ if you only want 1 color for that premium clothing.

    And to purchase them, you need to purchase palia coins, which are as expected not the exact amount to buy the clothing.

    So like you need to buy 2k coins for 1.6k clothing pack.

  • Hydrogen-powered planes almost ready for takeoff

    Jump

  • Even if it takes more space, there are still benefits over biofuels.

    The hydrogen can be created using electricity. Currently it is not very efficient, but only uses electricity and water. Electricity can come from de carbonated (/low carbon) sources.

    And a fuel cell will use that hydrogen to generate electricity by combining the hydrogen into water with outside oxygen.

    For the biofuel, it's a big climate hoax. The issue with bio fuels, is that the energy required to produce them is huge. It required bacteria producing carbon emissions, and the fuel also produced carbon emissions. Whatever entered that plan, will get out, and even more because of the transformation. (i don't remember which video from Undecided with Matt Ferell was about biofuels). Tho maybe it could be used for something. To get slightly less carbon emissions than with normal fuel.

    There may also be a solution with batteries. However the energy density for them is lower compared to hydrogen. Tho, there may be some battery innovation I saw passing by which could be pretty interesting.

  • What are some good European Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • I don't know about the privacy in UK, but privacy on Lemmy is... Pretty much inexistent.

    Tho maybe the email Adresses could maybe be stored privately somehow.

    My instance compuverse.uk runs most of the time. Tho the servers are not giant, and there was already an issue where the storage filled up completely before an upgrade had to be made.

    Tho now it would be running on a separate storage dedicated server which may allow for more storage.

    Also the rules on this instance makes it pretty much compatible with every other instance and so would avoid the defederation by other instances. (please just don't put porn or gore in the all).

  • State of gaming on linux?

    Jump

  • Outside of steam, there are community scripts with Lutris and other alternatives.

    But sometimes they don't work well.

    There are also ways to play epic games and gog games easily through the Heroic games Launcher and Wine-GE.

    (wine and winetricks and 2 other wine components need to be installed).

  • The best fasle advertising on privacy/security rather?

    Their goal is blocking any other advertising method so only they can collect and use the data of their users for advertising.

    Security? They can (or could) be hacked, with a backdoor, just with an invisible message...

    So most of their reputation is just marketing (which goes pretty near to false advertising ex : the your data stays on your device... Which is just false).

    Tho they may have a reputation of refusing to give data to public organizations (or at least depending on the data).

  • I may have learned things about tech and computers on reddit, but I don't remember the posts, only the knowledge.

    Also I learned that redditors in the comments are 75-90% stupid and useless in any post. I sometimes had to answer tech related posts just because the other answers were completely wrong and did not help the OP.

    Tho sometimes there was some useful info. But only sometimes...
