One thing I just noticed.

If you’re running a game and the game doesn’t allow you to enable HDR, try adding DXVK_HDR=1 to your launch options. This will make the “DirectX” system tell the game that your system supports HDR.

This may not affect all games, but Helldivers 2 wouldn’t allow me to enable HDR until I added the env.

Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop is upon us

Because the source code is copyrighted, the fact that userA has an email address userA@gmail.com isn’t copyrighted and so companies can ingest that data into their databases.

We needed that when Snowden leaked, now the political will is gone and the average person just accepts it because they get free services in exchange for letting advertising companies and law enforcement live in their pocket.

A funny loophole. The person who stole the data did a crime.

Now that the data is public then it is free game because it is public information.

If you’re using proton, then you’re not using the native linux clients you’re using the Windows clients.

But, to answer your question, if you want to see if you’re using HDR it will depend on the game. For a method that is game agnostic, install mangohud: https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud which will let you see all kinds of information about the game that’s running (often used for FPS/temps).

If you’d rather use a GUI instead of editing the config files, you can use goverlay: https://github.com/benjamimgois/goverlay

It should be noted that the guy did not escape ICE arrest.

A judge has wide discretion in how they run their courtroom. It is in the best interest of Justice if people are not intimidated from coming to court and seeing ICE arresting people outside the doors of a courtroom can cause intimidation. Immigrants may not want to show up for subpoenas or testify if they think they’ll get arrested and the Justice system requires people to be willing to come to courts. It’s in everyone’s best interest that law enforcement not use the courthouse as a lure to arrest people, as people will simply stop showing up for court which hurts everyone.

The judge exercised her discretion and let the man use an alternate exit back into the public area. He was immediately followed into the elevator by a plain clothes ICE officer who alerted the arrest team and they arrested him outside. The judge had the man use the alternate door to prevent his arrest from becoming a spectacle directly outside of her courtroom which could intimidate people.

I imagine that the patches will be incorporated in the next release.

Applying patches and building Proton for yourself is an advanced topic and you could break things so proceed with caution:

The README will have instructions on building proton: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom

After step 3, use git apply to apply the patch files that you need from the links above. Here’s a StackOverflow article that may help a bit, or use your favorite search engine (or LLM if you’re feeling lucky) to help you.

If everything turns out ok and you have your tar.gz file, you can follow the manual installation instructions from the same readme in order to install it.

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well

He’s only accepting it as the President with a story that he’s planning on using it as Air Force One. Now it becomes an ‘official act’ and so he’s immune to prosecution thanks to SCOTUS.

At the end of his term, no progress will have been made on the retrofit and he will take control of the jet exactly as it is.

This situation is just Trump blatantly accepting a bribe and laundering it through ‘an official act’ to render himself immune to prosecution. Blatant corruption in broad view of the public.

He doesn’t want it retrofit. Air Force One is a flying command bunker which would be stripped of capabilities before it is donated to his library. As it is, it is a half a billion dollar luxury jet with all of the amenities that infinite money can buy.

It’ll sit in storage with Trump stalling the retrofit (by, for example, saying the existing retrofits have to be done first) until he leaves office and then it’ll be donated, as is, to his library.

This is a naked bribe done in full view of the public. The retrofitting story is a lie, a cover story to give the bribe the veneer of ‘an official act’ which, thanks to SCOTUS, gives him immunity for any criminal prosecution.

Trump gets the jet to own personally (through the shell company of his Presidential Library) when he leaves office.

The fact that it would be incredibly expensive to retrofit means that it will never be retrofit and he will leave office with the jet exactly as it is.

By laundering the jet publicly, as through he’s doing this as an official act, he can never be prosecuted for accepting what is obviously a blatant bribe.

I don’t think that’ll be much of a problem. Nobody thinks Windows is shit because there are cheap low powered laptops.

Can you name a single technology or human endeavour that doesn’t have negative side effects or potential for abuse?

The rise of anti-AI sentiment isn’t based on objective measurements of societal harms, it’s a meme because it’s new and popular and, like all memes, some people feed on the outrage-based reinforcement generated by social media interactions.

I’m not saying that there are no problems with AI. I’m saying that people are treating it as if it were a massive problem because their perception is warped by social media.

They used this access to suppress the Occupy Wall Street protests, including targeting the online activists, by designating it a ‘counter-terrorism’ operation.

If you participated in these protests online you’d suddenly find that the DEA knew about your marijuana use, the IRS decided that not filing your taxes was a criminal charge and your state and county police would receive ‘anonymous tips’ about any state laws that you were violating.

This was all because DHS intelligence services were combing through the online records of anybody that they could remotely link to these protests.

Literally every single online company is giving your data to law enforcement, often including real-time access.

This is the thing that Snowden leaked.

Facebook, Gmail, your cellular provider, Amazon, Credit Card companies, your bank, etc. They’re all systems that law enforcement intelligence can access, probably without a subpoena (a business can choose to give up business records since they own them, you don’t own ‘your data’).

If you’re doing something online, or on your phone, you should pretend that there’s a law enforcement officer sitting and reading over your shoulder because they effectively are. If they ever has cause to look at you they’ll pull the history of your account (possibly limited to 30 days back but there’s no guarantee of this) and see everything you’ve ever written and posted included things that you deleted.

If you did anything illegal they can use this information to start a new investigation, in addition to whatever investigation that led them to your account. This can allow them access to even more accounts.

So, if you’re using any commercial service that holds your data, you should assume that a law enforcement officer is combing through your information and trying to find something to charge you with.

You should not use commercial services if you’re in the US. I know I’m preaching to the choir in this community, but sometimes people need to see it written in black and white.

It’s one thing to think AI is poor quality in some tasks, but some users act like AI is personally assaulting them every morning as they wake up for work and pissing in their coffee.

I use nvim, btw
