They have to comply until 6 March 2024 under the Digital Markets Act, so hopefully we should see sideloading very soon. Fingers crossed
But even with an immutable distro you don’t have to reboot. The updated image just gets downloaded in the background and booted into when you restart. There is no harm in still being booted from the old image id you don’t specifically need anything only included in the new one. Nothing forces you to reboot.
Fair point. Them not at least using USB 3 across the line up is silly and I don’t really see what they gain from doing it apart from maybe saving a cent in production.
But on the other hand I don’t think it matters either. The vast majority of people probably don’t plug their phone in for anything but charging and the few people that record large video files on their phone will probably get a pro model either.
So yeah USB 2 speeds are silly and I don’t want to defend a trillion dollar company for saving a cent on production but I don’t think it matters either.
Both iPhone 15 models were good iterative updates in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but Apple finally adopting both USB-C and AV1 is great to see and the programmable action button on the pro models is a nice addition as well.
I’d argue it’s implied that you mean the coming February if no year is specified.
Macs have a big user base, if you like it or not.
Apple supporting Vulkan or not supporting it will not change a thing about that.
Developers support platforms where the users are. Having good support for Vulkan on Macs would make their life easier.
I fail to see how that’s a bad thing. Apple not supporting Vulkan won’t drive the average user to install Linux as they don’t know what it even is.
I would love to see Apple go down the route of actually supporting modern OpenGL and Vulkan on their hardware. The hardware is amazing but forcing software to rely on Metal just holding it back especially when it comes to games.
Exactly. Trying to install the latest version of a bunch of apps on a base like Debian is bound to give you dependency issues if you try to install the native version.
I can only recommend you to look into using Flatpak to install graphical applications. It avoids the whole dependency or permission issues because it ships apps in their own well tested little sandbox. From a end user perspective its somewhat similar to how applications are bundled on macOS.
Considering the clashes system76 had with the GNOME team this seems to be going in a similar direction. Having a clearly defined way of theming applications instead of having themes just inject random css is the way to go in my opinion. I’m really excited to finally try Cosmic DE myself!
Sorry, I just heard somewhere Nintendo sent a DMCA notice and assumed it was right because that seems like a Nintendo thing to do.
Nintendo sent them a DMCA takedown request for the Dolphin Steam page. So I don’t think we can blame Steam for wanting to stay out of legal trouble
Essentially a web feed to have a single timeline from multiple sources. Think of it as Google News but you manually choose the sources and it’s chronological.
Sometimes it’s useful following specific projects or organizations you’re interested in to be notified when anything interesting is going on. In a way similar to an RSS feed I suppose
I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The Lemmy and the wider Fediverse are open and using a closed source client to access that doesn’t change anything. Unlike with other closed ecosystems using a closed source client doesn’t impact anyone else.
Closest I could find is this mug and of course it’s on Etsy.
YouTube doesn’t have invasive DRM (on normal videos), playing any resolution works on Linux. Netflix only ever plays in 720p for me however, regardless of browser (you can check the stats with crtl + alt + shift + d). There are extensions for Firefox and Chrome to fix this issue luckily. But if Google’s DRM for the web goes through this might not be so easy anymore.
That looks amazing!
Also if you say it has custom widgets as well does that mean it works more like libadwaita than a normal gtk theme?
SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/
