  I try to play my Arma 3 abiding to Geneva convention and is quite fun

  I’ve been very happy with my Manjaro install on AMD GPU, everything worked out of the box on fist try install without any weird step. I would say you could jump straight to Arch/Arch-based, but first research about your GPU compatibility.

  (I’m aware of how Manjaro is perceived and its downsides, please avoid comments suggesting me to switch).

  Unrelated question: did you manually copied and formatted the SteamDB/ProtonDB links, or did you use any add-on?

  SovietWomble has a video essay that touches this topic.

  Disagree. They showed their arguments, and those seem pretty valid to me, even though I disagree. IMO being open, transparent and promoting community discussion is a good sign.

  Yeah, I feel like Linux is easier for casual and better for power users, Windows favors people in the middle.

  No. If you don’t want to be tracked and you are using a VPN, fingerprinting is a problem as well. Privacy is not concern just for drug dealers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tangent note: I think browser fingerprinting is only a source of concern if you use VPN. Otherwise, your IP is already a good enough identifier, and quite likely doesn’t rotate often enough. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong.

  Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.

  Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I’m aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calculus made easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was so much me with the concept of generalized Cartesian product. All the class was very confused with that topic, until a bright classmate pointed-out a relationship of that concept with Python list and it started to do so much sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial benchmarking website goes behind paywall — Userbenchmark now requires a $10 monthly subscription⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).

  I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.

  My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.

  All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.

  Hey, my SO and I really loved Severance and watch it in my Jellyfin server, which I set up so they can connect from anywhere. I’ll add season 2 the moment it launches. I would be happy to give you acess to it if you want to, just let me know.
