  You can add non steam games to steam and it’ll run them via proton, can be pretty effortless in most scenarios. Otherwise, you can install Lutris and there’s a significant chance there’ll be an entry for how to run the game you want

  Nvidia’s rtx video upscaling is trying to be just that: DLSS but you run it on a video stream instead of a game running on your own hardware. They’ve posited the idea of game streaming becoming lower bit rate just so you can upscale it locally, which to me sounds like complete garbage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when a school bans smartphones? A complete transformation | US education | The Guardian⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I lent my 8yo my old phone, heavily restricted and with Family Link installed; She’s only allowed 2 hours a day and isn’t allowed on stuff like YouTube. There are ways to do it responsibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why docker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Others have addressed the root and trust questions, so I thought I’d mention the “mess” question:

  Even the messiest bowl of ravioli is easier to untangle than a bowl of spaghetti.

  The mounts/networks/rules and such aren’t “mess”, they are isolation. They’re commoditization. They’re abstraction - Ways to tell whatever is running in the container what it wants to hear, so that you can treat the container as a “black box” that solves the problem you want solved.

  Think of Docker containers less like pets and more like cattle, and it very quickly justifies a lot of that stuff because it makes the container disposable, even if the data it’s handling isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On the one hand, I was tempted to disagree with you out of principle - Since being on the winning side is almost always favorable.

  … But on the other hand, I rarely want to be in the same room as any lawyers, much less Disney’s. So yeah, I’d rather just avoid being in a situation where I have to be on either side - winning or otherwise =]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney backs down from 'Steamboat Willie' YouTube copyright claim⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Their recognition doesn’t change the fact that it’s in the public domain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution for me is that I run Nextcloud on a Kubernetes cluster and pin a container version. Then every few months I update that version in my deployment yaml to the latest one I want to run, and run kubectl apply -f nextcloud.yml and it just does its thing. Never given me any real trouble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Service account cannot load PHP Class⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost certainly a file permission error; Composer’s auto loader (the require statement) just scans the vendor library directories and populates the namespace, it doesn’t load classes lazily on the fly. As such, if the file for a class isn’t accessible by the permissions, it will not be loaded by the auto loader.

  PHP also doesn’t validate its usestatements, as they are basically just aliases that are resolved at the moment the import is used.

  Then, when it comes time to attempt to instantiate the class, PHP discovers there’s no class by that name and errors out.

  You just need to make sure the Zabbix user can access all the files in vendor, probably by deleting it and running the composer install as that user.

  I run my NAS on TrueNAS, and it just has a built-in solution for taking ZFS snapshots, encrypting them, and shipping them to an S3-compatible storage.

  Instead they suggest you have them do it, first one is free

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung is planning a 400-500$ foldable for 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah man I’m being genuine. I’m not pretending, nor was it an insult. I refuse to argue in bad faith as well. Which… It’s exactly what calling someone’s opinion invalid is. You ok? Really, no joke here. Hope you’re doing alright and find a phone that meets your standard, fellow member of the fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung is planning a 400-500$ foldable for 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t consider it bloat. Bloat is preinstalled games or adware, not useful services. Everything preinstalled besides Samsung’s stuff was removable, and all of that at least does have a use, and works for what it’s supposed to do.

  • Browser is a browser. It functions as such for people who don’t care about which browser they’re using.
  • Note taking app does what it says on the tin.
  • messaging app is the SMS app. It didn’t come with another one, I installed the one from Google myself for RCS.
  • Samsung TV Plus is actually for watching TV networks, and it’s free. Works decently even.
  • smart things is useful for anyone who has Samsung iot devices. The oven in the house I rent actually is one, which was funny to me.
  • HP printing might have actually been one I added… For my HP network printer.

  All of that aside, my Z Fold 4 is plenty powerful such that I never experience lagging or slowdowns. My battery rarely goes below 50% with 4-5 hours of screen on time daily. So if there’s background stuff, it’s not affecting either of the things you would expect it to.

  The launcher is fine. No “news section” off to the side like the old Pixel launcher used to have, no frills or extras or adware in your face… it’s fine. The only complaint I have about the launcher is that I can’t make my app drawer continuously scroll. However, it provides the service for the ‘taskbar’ at the bottom of my screen: Image and I use it a lot for multitasking so I can’t get rid of it.

  Honestly, from my perspective none of it is problematic. It sounds to me like you’re just hating on something to hate on it, none of those extra things being installed cause me any inconvenience. In the slightest.

  Calling someone’s opinion on such a subjective matter invalid really speaks to your thoughts on other people. Are you ok? Need to talk about it?

  Here’s all the Samsung stuff on my Galaxy Fold 4, two of which aren’t ones that it came with: Image

  It’s really not a problem nor that bad. I chucked them into a folder and have only touched them to use the files app or manage Good Lock.
