I’ve come to realise at least half of the stuff posted on Reddit these days, especially more so on the popular subs, are all designed to make you angry.
It’s things like posting incorrect info in the title, posting a comic / image that’s been deliberately designed to get you angry, someone really wanting their 5 minutes of fame like this guy, or some post from some bigot.
It’s so tiring. Have started to notice it on Lemmy too.
Would be awesome if they somehow ended up using signal as a means to facilitate remote learning. Mind you they’d have to be very careful and hide it from any potential snitches…
I get what you’re saying and I hate that I had to write it like that. Was saying it to point out that Mac’s just aren’t as locked down as other Apple devices so won’t be subject to the EU ruling anyway.
The entire argument is stupid anyway.
I guess if this gets argued correctly it means Apple could technically get away with not opening up the iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch to accept other stores (Mac already lets you install apps directly from developers). I can see this still letting Apple continue to have the stranglehold over their ecosystem.
I doubt this will change much though. We all know the EU were specifically thinking about the iPhone which needs opening up.
What happened afterwards? Did you go off on a self searching quest and come to learn the real you?
WatchOS 10.2 is also needed for enabling Contact Key Verification in iOS 17.2.
You need to enable CKV yourself it seems.
Settings -> Apple ID -> scroll right down to the bottom -> contact key verification.
This is certainly one way to spin this.
It doesn’t touch on all the other donations signal receives, including the major loan from Brian Acton. The OTF isn’t the only source of funding that signal has.
Signal will be fine. In fact now that the OTF have withdrawn funding it’ll probably shake off the weird take that Signal is CIA tech.
I think the phrasing is important here.
Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association.
If Google’s & Samsungs implementations aren’t compliant with the GSM associations’ standard then I don’t think this is going to work how people are expecting it to. The stuff Google has added to RCS messaging has all been their own implementation of it and not part of the standard, and as far as I’m aware android RCS gets routed through Google’s servers.
I wonder if RCS support is Apple trying to appease the EU with the DMA stuff forcing messaging apps to be interoperable with each other.
This would only be true in the US. What about the rest of the world?
What was you doing?
Other than enabling proton for all games in the settings, you shouldn’t have to do anything else to get steam games working.
Well, unless the game itself uses anti-cheat and the developer hasn’t enabled support for Linux, anyway.
As others have mentioned, the main caveat here is that anti cheat games can work if the developers enable the support.
I’ve been playing dead by daylight very happily for a good few months now on Linux. Apex legends has also got official support for Linux as well.
Pulseaudio has been replaced by PipeWire for quite some time in fedora. Since Fedora 34, released in April 2021, apparently.
According to the wiki page, PipeWire originally came about trying to improve video handling on Linux, the same way that pulseaudio improved audio handling.
They then wanted to try and handle audio streams, with the idea of converging use cases for both consumer and professional audio users. Namely, they wanted a single audio system that supported both pulseaudio and JACK, whilst remaining as low latency as possible.
On top of this, because it was a modern reimplementation of audio and video handling in Linux, they designed it to work with Flatpak, and to provide secure methods for screenshotting and screencasting in wayland via the compositors.
(All my info here I just took from the wiki)
It’ll be used by a lot of Linux distributions.
It’s a drop-in replacement to the Pulseaudio and JACK audio systems, with the hopes of making audio handling decent within Linux with as low latency as they can.
Eh, WSL is still enough like Linux that it could be the best option for a lot of people. No risk to the computer being unable to boot whilst still giving you the ability to play with Linux tooling.
And credit where credit’s due: Microsoft details how to do a bare metal install, which is the most likely option to wipe Windows from your machine in the first place.
Copying one of my favourite (and last saved) comments from Reddit:
The most precious commodity we have is our time on this planet, and we have far less of it than we realise. The time we choose to spend together is a gift we give to each other.
Appreciate the gift of their precious commodity that they give you, don’t expect more than they are willing to give, but don’t squander your precious resource with someone who doesn’t appreciate your gift.
This would be a lovely thing if signal also enables the interoperability.
I can’t remember where I’ve seen it, probably on the signal community forum, but I don’t believe signal have any plans to integrate the interoperability stuff; specifically because they can’t guarantee their users won’t have metadata collected by third parties like Meta.
You can run Mac apps on Linux?
I tend to find that for every complaint there’s at least 10 more people out there using their Apple devices quite happily.
Use what you want or that works best for you at the end of the day.
I made the switch to iPhone after my nexus 5 had a system crash when I tried to toggle the WiFi off/on. Haven’t really looked back since.
Actually, it seems Apple are going in the opposite direction.
They redesigned the internals of the iPhone 14 which iFixit really liked and they’ve got their own self service repair program so you can buy legitimate Apple parts, although admittedly you could imagine the EU had a huge influence on this.
It’s taken them a few years to get these up and running, but seems like they’re slowly getting to the right point. Maybe this year the pro/pro max will use the redesigned internals architecture to make those more repairable but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.
