Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Well I'll just wait for the ultimate edition to go on sale for $50 or whatever.

I guess this is kind of the logical conclusion of the "never buy unless it's more than 50% off" attitude.

openSUSE addresses supply chain attack against xz compression library in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I assume SSH is not exposed to the internet by default on openSUSE? I have not used SSH on my install so should I be safe if I just update?

Google explains Gemini’s “embarrassing” AI pictures of diverse Nazis in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The best part is that this was added in response to people complaining about it not generating diverse enough people, so they made it randomly add different races to person requests that don't specify race.

It's from Star Wars Episode 1.

I haven't watched that movie in years and watched it the other day with my son.

This but I don't have time or knowledge.

That's awesome. I would love to see some new content on a similar (or the same) engine.

...So I Finally Quit Spotify in c/technology@lemmy.world

No, anything from Tidal is still DRM controlled but it integrates seemlessly with everything I have locally.

I'm not locked into their player. Tidal integrates through Plex and I manage my music library between Tidal and local files there. And again, I still buy albums but we've both acknowledged we can't buy all the music we would listen to.

To be honest I simply find Tidal + Plex integration to be more convenient than piracy. I'll pay my $10 per month for the ease of use and still buy an album or two per month from artists I want to support.

My discovery is a combination of Tidal and last.fm similar artists/recommendations and people on various forums. It's one of the few things I still go back to Reddit for. The other thing is that I like to listen to a band's full discography when I discover them. I recently found The Ocean and all 9 of their albums are solid. That's a lot to buy.

Any quirks to be aware of with Linux on the AMD Framework 13? (lemdro.id)
 

My laptop is arriving on Monday and I haven't picked a distro yet. I currently use Debian but that is on older hardware. I'm experienced with a lot of distros so I'm a bit flexible here. I was thinking openSUSE for the sake of the latest and greatest AMD drivers, but I do see that Fedora is officially supported while openSUSE is not. Are there any hardware compatibility issues I could expect?

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe (lemdro.id)
 

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite? (lemdro.id)
 

I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I'm set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.

I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is "officially supported" for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don't really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.

Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?

Thoughts on Framework 16 CPU choices? (lemdro.id)
 

I'm thinking about buying the 16 as I want a new Linux-compatible laptop and I like the whole idea behind Framework. I do a little bit of gaming but honestly just what my Steam Deck is capable of, so I was planning on buying it without the GPU for the moment.

Looking at the two processor choices, they seem very similar on performance. I'm not sure I can justify the $200 price difference, especially with the hope of a future upgrade to a newer generation.

Any other thoughts?

Laptop recommendations? (lemdro.id)
 

I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'm currently considering the Framework 16 but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should look at. The System 76 Adder WS seems like a better value, but I'm hesitant to buy Nvidia.

I don't need anything super portable, just looking for a decently powerful laptop for some gaming and other basic tasks. I use openSUSE TW but even with the Nvidia repo I've had issues with Nvidia graphics.
