  • If you would just stick to playing games on the Quest 2/3 directly that should be fine. The Quest 2 can run basic games, so it does limit you a bit. For example VR Chat has some worlds with too many assets that are not playable on the Quest 2 directly. From what I remember you would be limited to Meta’s store though.

    Unfortunately VR seems to be a niche thing so I doubt this will get a lot of priority on Linux.



  • Flatpak and Snap definitely make installation more simple. The packages come with their own dependencies so you have way less issues with conflicting dependencies. I like them when they are officially supported by the distribution or developer, but I prefer the official installations over supporting a random person making a package (not sure if this is a thing with Flatpak, but with Snaps that was definitely a thing).

    Some software really benefits from not begin inside flatpak though, I had to switch back to the deb version of Visual Studio Code as the integrated console didn’t have access to some software outside the package and was also logging weird errors.



  • Heftig filmpje, ik snap wel dat politici dit soort journalisten irritant vinden, maar het gedrag van deze perschef kan echt niet. Wel bijzonder is dat dit dus al de tweede keer is dat een microfoon van hen weggegooid wordt en er gewoon later excuses aangeboden worden, zoiets moet niet normaal worden. Aan de andere kant mag er ook wel op een iets minder irritante manier vragen gesteld worden, je krijgt op deze manier toch geen goede antwoorden.

    Ik vraag me wel af of deze perschef niet op een effectievere manier deze journalisten bij Sophie Hermans weg had kunnen houden. Op deze manier krijgt ze de agressieve manier van interviewen alsnog over zich heen en moet de perschef veel te ver gaan, dus dit werkt ook niet.







  • Not worried at all. Their source code controversy mostly hurts companies that want to run RHEL without paying IBM, as after these changes distos like Alma Linux and Rockey Linux might diverge more from RHEL and they will have a harder time to guarantee bug-for-bug compatibility.

    Fedora is not trying to steal business and government contracts away from RHEL and as a normal user you don’t need this bug-for-bug compatibility anyway. You can just sign up for a RedHat developer account and download RHEL Server for free, this includes a GUI everything you need to run it on a workstation. You can even view the source code trough their website.

    So I am not worried that CentOS stream or Fedora will go away, RedHat is not trying to hurt consumers, they just want that enterprises (that are interested in support contracts) actually pay them when they use the work they put into RHEL. If they want a free version, they can still use CentOS stream.


  • Such a misleading title… if they actually do this you will still be able to install the minimum version of Ubuntu, you just get the option to pick additional software that automatically gets installed as snap packages.

    I really don’t see the issue. If you don’t want any additional application or if you don’t want snap packages don’t pick anything. It really is their choice to support Snap packages, and snap and flatpack packages are just a lot easier to support for distro maintainers.


  • I think this is very hard at this point. Manny Fediverse communities are quite small and fear that their community will be flooded with content from any external platform. We even saw this when a lot of Reddit users came over to Lemmy. So in those cases there will be a lot of distrust.

    Smaller companies could easily use a more strictly controlled* Lemmy instance to provide a space for their community. That would allow people to interact with that community without having to setup a new account. *Tightly moderated and limited to admin created communities.

    But anything large will just be distrusted as long as the platform is much larger than large Fediverse instances. Maybe EU law could help to protect the Fediverse from EEE. But EU law also moves slow, and we don’t want laws slowing down the growth of the Fediverse either.










  • As far as I know, we don’t have user based karma here. Only posts and comments get a score. But we really should make sure that the community does not get over-run with a specific type of post. Unless the community is for that specific purpose, of course.

    But I can imagine that not every instance would like to host a “share your Kickstarter project” community, as those posts will also show up for the users that like to read all local posts. Here on Lemmy.world that feed would already be a full of stuff you aren’t interested in though, but that’s my opinion and I also never used r/all or any of the other extremely broad subreddits.



  • You should always follow the rules of the instance, of course. But if you want to do something that is not within the rules of the instance, you can always set up your own instance or find another instance where this is allowed. Even if a community (like a subreddit) on an instance thinks a certain, way, they can’t conflict with the instance rules.

    Creators would probably have to try sharing things in a way that users would not consider it an add. But those lines would be quite blurry, without any clarification from the instance moderators.



  • Good to see another iteration of the Ruinous Powers, I think I would have preferred if they had given us deflect prayers, but I guess there needs to be a downside and chip damage just didn’t really work on OSRS.

    Intensify sounds like a very good prayer in case you need the accuracy, but the damage is less important. I think I player OSRS a bit too casual to know if these prayers work better, but to me, they look better. At least it is fun to try new bosses again on the beta worlds.
