Technology@lemmy.world•Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data showsEnglish
51·11 months agoNot necessarily, steam includes a windows compatibility layer making many windows games playable on Linux and that’s how most steam deck games run. On stream deck specifically the battery life and performance is often better under this translation layer than installing windows and running them natively.
Edit: Just skimmed the article, this is exactly what it’s about.

93·1 year agoA 9News reporter has been caught in the crossfire of chaotic protests that have engulfed parts of Los Angeles.
Looks to me like the guy turned and intentionally shot her completely unprovoked. I can’t tell what was happening In front of her though if she was really in crossfire.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•LCD vs OLED, does it matter to you? Or do you not care either way?
2·1 year agoI would say OLED, though I had an old tv from 2017 that showed significant burn in after 4-5 years of usage. Anything that was red had a permanent shadow like the Netflix logo and some tv channel logos. As someone with hearing loss I also always have subtitles on which causes shadows there too.
Now it’s apparently much better nowadays, still happens with excessive usage and I actually ended up buying an LCD tv this time. I do miss the OLED razor sharp contrast though.
Ed i: I just checked my pixel 5 phone with an OLED screen, it does indeed also have burn in on the top row when I put a red or green picture full screen. I wouldn’t notice it unless I really looked though.

I’m 44 and I think it’s an age thing. I struggle to sleep for more than 8 hours. I wake up naturally around 6-7am and go to bed around 23:00.
People have it tough and I think they have gotten full of hate and greed. Evil people feed on hate and greed.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.
5·2 years agoGot to tweak dos startup menu to maximise your conventional or ems memory.
I’m using pass, the Unix standard password manager. While the original application is just a. shell script, gpg and git, it seems to have evolved more into a standard structure of encrypted files that any applications can use.
On UNIX I use gopass, on my phone I use Password store together with open keychain.
Benefits: completely self hosted, well known and robust technology, easy for developers to make applications or even just read the files youself
Cons: Need to setup and maintain gpg keys. Applications I’ve used so far seem geared to more technical people. Setting up a new device requires copying gpg keys or generating new ones and add the public key to your vault. Last I checked, no viable IOS client.
Depending on your view this can be either pro or con, but you can store your 2fa and password in the same repo, all protected by your gpg keys.

Technology@lemmy.world•How decentralized is Bluesky really?English
113·2 years agoI tried to look this up but I couldn’t find much. The “worst” I found was this:
Some users have expressed concerns about the platform’s moderation practices, suggesting that the community’s emphasis on inclusivity and respect may lead to over-sensitivity, where even minor disagreements or differing opinions are met with significant backlash. This environment can create a perception of excessive policing of content, potentially discouraging open dialogue.
Where are you reading that people are saying that it’s worse than twitter? Is it right wing people that are saying that because they put emphasis on inclusivity and respect?
Read permissions should be enough, I’ve got mine in a freebsd jail with the media dataset mounted into it read only.
