Happy Birthday!
And of course my deepest gratitude for all the effort and dedication! :)

System76 reveal the 'Nebula' a new PC case for everyone
29 June 2023 at 4:28 pm UTC

I like the design, but even though i'm not one to cheap out on the case, 329$ really is too steep. Maybe i'm missing some key feature that would justify it, but comparing it for example to the new BeQuiet 901 for around the same price (that i already find a bit overpriced) doesn't leave many points in favor of the nebula.
I'm also not too sure about the whole airflow thing and if the side grills have filters and so on...

PAYDAY 2 devs to ensure it works with Proton on Linux and Steam Deck

Quotewe’ll keep testing new updates with Proton to make sure it keeps working for the upcoming patches and releases.

THIS is actually what i would expect from all devs if they don't want to maintain a native version.
With such an official statement, i'm perfectly fine in just using the proton version tbh ^^

Quoting: Loftybtw as a reminder don't forget you can further restrict flatpak's with flatseal

I really like Flatpak for exactly the reason that it makes sandboxing stuff (especially proprietary things like games, but of course other things, too) so easy and convenient.
BUT i would almost go as far as not saying 'you CAN further restrict' but to say 'you SHOULD look into flatseal (or the like).
It's not as common as some flatpak-critiques make it sound, but there are indeed more than enough apps that just request full access to the filesystem or the home directory - so checking and adjusting (at least!) file access after installation is almost a must in my eyes!

In an ideal world, employee ownership would be the norm - so good luck to them!

NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 4060 series

So basically they are launching the more or less already obsolete one now, hope for enough stupid folks to buy that and release the one with enough memory to not be immediately obsolete a few months later to get the money of the slightly less stupid folks...
Oh Nvidia...

What a bullshit. It's really time for valve to introduce a way to roll back updates...

Immersion Corporation sues Valve over Steam Deck and Valve Index haptics tech

Skimming over the Patents, it's really absurd that stuff like that can even be patented...

And of course they wait two years to sue so that the 'damage' is worthwhile. Disgusting parasites...

Discord username system changing to make it easier to find people

Long overdue, i hate those #1234 naming conventions.
I just hope 'in app notification' will also work if you only access it via browser?

I really would love to through more money towards them. But not with that attitude towards Linux...
