In a single hour, Israeli snipers killed seven bystanders at the Jenin refugee camp (www.haaretz.com)

Jenin has endured plenty of rough days lately, but May 21 outdid them all. In the course of one hour in the morning, snipers killed seven of the city's residents, all of them innocent passersby, even though the streets were quiet and the soldiers had no cause to open fire....

That is some Amon Göth level evil shit

HDR works. On KDE Wayland and in games only with Gamescope, but we are getting there. And there is the Steam Deck of course.

Metz ,

Depends on what you mean with not working. Get any errors? e.g. i like to test with vkcube (vulkan-tools need to be installed. don’t know the package name on Nobara / Fedora). if gamescope vkcube runs, then its likely not a gamescope problem but one with the e.g. game you try to run or wine / proton.

But the latest versions seem to be indeed a bit problematic. The last that works (mostly) flawless on my Arch is 3.14.2. So maybe worth a shot to downgrade to that if your current one fails with vkcube.

Otherwise, it is probably a good idea to get in contact with the Nobara community or the developer. I hate to recommend Discord, but as far i know that is unfortunately the only place where they are active.

And there is of course always the excellent Arch Wiki which is usuable for other distros as well: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope

This “saved as” idea is actually brilliant.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

I don’t think a casual user would in many cases even be able to tell the difference. I mean you have a desktop with some icons which most of people only use to start the browser which is absolutely identical in both systems.

You have a start menu with other programs and you have a task bar which shows the open programs and some status icons and a clock.

It is really not that different. Most people just start a browser and go on Facebook or eBay or whatever, use a simple word processor for the daily needs. I don’t think they would be able to tell the difference.

works flawless here on Android 14 with Firefox 126.0.1. not tested desktop yet.

Why publishers are preparing to federate their sites - Digiday (digiday.com)

The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites.

Metz ,

Wait their articles are paywalled.

Journalists have to pay for food and rent too. What is the alternative? ads?

The money has to come from somewhere.

(allegedly) the devs of lemmy are on lemmy.ml

dessalines and Nutomic are the lemmy main developers and founders and admins of lemmy.ml.

There is no “allegedly” about it, it is so.

with version 1.0

day one patch brings it to 1.1 and makes it mandatory

Did not get a e-mail but my fork is gone. That can’t be legal can it? I’m in the EU.

Metz ,

Yeah i tend to forget that github is in the US and their allmighty DMCA can be used to take down anything. i just have a hard time believing this shit would fly in the EU.

Metz ,

Yea, that is nonsense. While the law says “Anyone who unlawfully damages or destroys another person’s property is liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding two years or a monetary penalty.” this basically never happens. He likely will get a small fine (if any).

Do actually get the 2 years you would have to do some very serious damage. As example a couple of years ago someone got 2 years (on probation) because he set fire to the restaurant he was working on.

You won’t be locked up here for 2 years because you drilled a few holes in the wall…

You are not alive at that point. you are braindead. your heart is kept on pumping but you are definitely gone.

wow, this Aurynn is an arrogant insufferable prick.

Okay, i did not know. That makes things indeed a bit better.

Who would have thought 10 years ago that one of the biggest contributors to the Linux ecosystem and currently a significant driving force for adoption would come from the gaming industry.

Metz ,

I have not seen a single piece of reliable evidence to show that this is true. There may be a louder minority in that specific area, but so far nothing indicates it is an actual overrepresentation.

No, NFTs do have good uses

I hear that now since 12 Years. Its not going to happen.

This reads like the birth of an original lemmy copypasta

I miss the days when computers were real MACHINES. With the CLACK of a fat button humming and buzzing to life. The whole experience was so different with much more audiovisual and haptic feedback. love it.

Metz ,

To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.

Metz ,

a year? i don’t make that much in 10!

i could live a whole long life with what this guy makes in a week.

Metz ,

I tend to exaggerate, but my actual income is just under €12,000 a year. Adult german but can’t work full time for health reasons. But even with a average income here you would rarely go over 25.000€, which is still a joke in comparison what this guy makes.

Metz ,

thats gross salary. i mean net salary.

Metz ,

yeah, but to be fair, we get a lot of free shit for it.

Metz ,

I would love to see the source for that. e.g. Oxford Languages says

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

Germany mulls reintroduction of compulsory military service (www.dw.com)

At the end of October, the Bundeswehr said it counted 181,383 soldiers in its ranks — that’s still some distance from the target of 203,000 that the German military hopes to reach by 2025. This has given rise to concern in times of Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has once again reminded Germans how quickly conflicts...

Germany has currently a 80 billion euro hole in its budget. It does not even has the money to pay for the existing situation.

KDE wayland has added ICC support in the KDE 6 beta. (and basic HDR).

I play Minecraft without any problem on:

  1. Local LAN Game
  2. Local Private Server (Forge mostly).
  3. Online Private Server. either my own or from others.
  4. Official Internet Server

No idea what problems you seem to have but Minecraft works 100% perfect on Linux.

Metz ,

Oh yes, I had actually forgotten that this things exists. You could be right. But quick search says there is a way to use Bedrock on linux and connect to all kind of servers / realms as well. even together with java users. but tbh, i have not looked deeper into it.

Metz ,

I’m not sure if you really can say “burst” already if its only down 10% after it went up 100% since 2010.

i switched to vaping with nicotine. zero problem. did not miss cigs for a second. Then I slowly reduced the nicotine over six months until zero. i’m now smokefree since 2 years after lighting up 30 cigs a day for over 20 years.

In germany even a written story about it is illegal. it is considered “textual CSAM” then.

Metz ,

Good. We are not doing enough yet. We should blow as much pollution into the air as quickly as possible. And spray as many chemicals on the earth and dump plastic into the oceans as we can.

The sooner we make this planet uninhabitable for human life, the sooner it can begin to regenerate for a future species that will do better.

Humanity, the disease, the parasite, must be completely eradicated.

Everything is “cringe” nowadays. Calling things cringe is cringe. nobody gives a shit.

It is extremely widespread in Europe. In Germany, a good 50 million people (out of 80) use it every day. I would describe myself as very tech-savvy and privacy-conscious and would normally never use it , but since everyone in the family and friends use it without exception, there is no escape. plus quite a lot of business now use whatsapp for contact / support.

Wow, the speech his lawyers just gave is an incoherent rambling that has says absolutely nothing of substance, completely misses all points and stirs people up. He got himself a clone as lawyer.

It’s fucked up to take picture of random people and post them online without consent. In germany that would even get you jailtime.

Metz ,

Thats pretty much my argument when people say “There are more bugs on Linux than Windows! Linux bad!”.

No, there are not more, there are more found. There are just as many (or more) on Windows, but never found or properly reported. Which is a bad thing.

Metz ,

Have you compared it to other upscales? there is a 720p from icecracked that looks excellent and to my knowledge even beats redefined by a noticeable margin.
