@elonmusk But it isn't FOSS? That's the main differentiator with signal, that's what's required for privacy and trust

This isn't really related to KDE directly, but I decided to have an earnest go at using it as my daily driver a few years ago now, and one of the first hiccups I noticed was the lack of Dropbox integration in Dolphin. On nautilus, I can see the sync status of files and folders by looking at the file icons themselves, and I can right click a file to generate a Dropbox link for quick sharing. But when switching to KDE, all of those functions needed to be done in the terminal.. which made me feel like "ah yes, I'm no longer using the premium, standard, default, supported Linux desktop.. I need to look out for myself now" Again, not KDE's fault, but I guess you can't expect every 3rd party vendor to integrate with every Linux desktop, so generally they're going to just support gnome, which makes things feel less "janky" on gnome.

Been a fan of yours for a while now, love the thought and quality you put into your videos, and that mixed with your infectious personality and energy makes you one of my "drop everything and watch the new video" creators 👌 With all that said, I think the CS vid is possibly your best yet, absolutely loved it 🙏

@vaxryy How long / what changes do you think it will take to get hyprland packaged in Ubuntu? I understand that it's in 24.10, but you don't recommend using it there? Sorry if it's a silly question, I'm new to tiling window managers 😅

Proton is one of the greatest pieces of software of all time: >be valve, 2018, enjoy printing money from pc games on steam >realize microsoft could easily kill you by making gaming on windows a walled garden like the app store >what to do? >the greatest heist of all time: steal every game from windows by porting them all to linux >"it can't be done!" screams anon >"it can, anon. we're going to upgrade wine. reimplement the DirectX API and translate it to Vulkan at runtime. same with .NET, everything." says gaben calmly >"but you'll never get EVERY windows game to run on linux, we can't even get EVERY windows game to run on windows for christ sake!" shouts anon again >"we don't need to. we just have to get enough, to convince everyone it's going to work."... >*cassette time skip to 2025* >proton is amazing. despite translating everything at runtime, it can run AAA games well and sometimes faster than Windows cuz Windows syscalls slow >pewdiepie switch to linux >microsoft absolutely seething >bill gates personally makes emergency call to satya nadella at 3am >"they did WHAT? how many users did we lose?" >"about 30% of gamers sir, they keep saying 'linux gaming just works now'" >valve's masterplan succeeding beyond expectations >gaben sitting in office made entirely of knives, laughing >"phase 1 complete, commence phase 2"

@preciousroy @discord It's working for me now in stable, my friends were so shocked when they could hear my game! Haven't seen a changelog or announcement about it yet.

@MGSMGN Bought it on steam, basically every game is broken on Linux, MGS2 and 3 crash in the intro cutscenes, the only game that doesn't is MGS1, but it looks and runs so much worse compared with using a PS1 emulator.. hoping some fixes come out soon 🙏

Don't know why people are mad... Feels like a good thing to NOT be on Twitter that much.
