It adds hdr support to vulkan drivers that don’t have hdr support I think, it used to be a thing for all gpus but I assume nvidia’s implementation is faulty somehow


Apparently hdr wsi is still required on nvidia, my problems went away once I enabled that


Nevermind, I just tried it with proton-em and remembered what happened last time. It can be turned on but it looks like a grayscale filter on the screen so it’s better left off.

Also tried control with proton-em but the hdr looks super wrong on that game now but not sure if it is because proton em or if the new built in hdr setting is not as good as the hdr mod that I used to use

Edit: just tried with witcher 3 too, never tried it before but it is also desaturated, maybe a bit less than crysis tho. Also with hdr enabled framegen started artifacting like crazy

Edit 2: Oh shame on me, should’ve rtfm. It requires enabling hdr wsi on nvidia drivers. Everything works now


What game is it? Wanted to know because I’m having the same iszue with crysis 1 remaster


Every time I face a weird bug that I can find no reference to online it turns out to be caused by a native linux build. I’ve seen the linux port work well only in factorio and some other game that I can’t remember.


Wine wayland wooo

Edit: or… Maybe not? Will try and report back

Edit 2: Nope

Edit 3: Installed wayland enabled proton to try. If the game doesn’t crash, screen scaling doesn’t work and nether do controllers, steam overlay or hdr. Definitely not ready


The government then revealed that they had access to a third party tool that they used to break into the phone and recover its contents.

I’m not sure if we’re thinking of the same case but I also remember that the tool wasn’t ready in the beginning, which is why they tried the court method until it was


They fucked up their encryption so it has half the entropy they claim, they verify messages solely based on information from the message and their pseudo-tor thing isn’t encrypted. Also you can drain someone’s battery by sending them specially crafted messages


Google introduced a new AdSense ad format earlier this year that works similarly, turning text on the webpage into an ad that opens in Google Search.

Weren’t these super common scam websites a decade ago?


These kinds of things never happen to me, could it be because I have all the tracking stuff disabled?? /s



Very much unrelated but I recently read samsung’s smart monitor/tv privacy policy and it says they can record EVERYTHING you do on it and devices connected to it including programs or games you use and you can’t opt out of this short of foregoing smart features (except screen casting) altogether. There’s also an option (that doesn’t look optional in their ui) that lets them automatically process that data.

I’d heard those things were ridiculous but didn’t imagine this much


Is there was such a pdf, your government already received it. You writing in your own words is unique




Don’t let Linus see that, my memory isn’t that reliable


550 is the stable driver… This only started happening in a new kernel version and iirc from some thread it is a bug in the kernel. If you don’t have the issue already just not updating kernel until this gets fixed would be enough


Just put steam on a different subvolume, otherwise your snapshots will be huge

Edit: to be clear, you can just put steamapps in a different subvolume keep the proton / save data folders in the snapshot area



Why would they pair dnssec with a mandatory blocklist


If it’s reaching those temps then the answer is probably no. Hope you find a solution


Are you sure that’s not because it’s running at a very low frequency?


The equivalent of a 20-30 character random password with numbers and characters is a 7-11 word passphrase. Seeing how passphrase generators default to 4-5 words (equivalent to 11-14 characters) what you did isn’t so bad


Couldn’t you just chmod / chown the folder and let the installer overwrite the symlinks?


Isn’t that how fdroid worked for a long time?

Edit: although it doesn’t make sense to me for play store to do the same without the source code available

Edit 2:

The reason is that they forced new apps AND apps for Android TV to use App Bundles https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle This type of release cannot be installed as it but can be used to generate the apk files. In order to do so, the Play Store has to sign on the fly.

Not buying it. They could let the dev sign evey combination before uploading. They’ll be caching them anyways


The included DMCA request is specifically about suyu. It sounds to me like someone forked suyu and are receiving a notice about its takedown. Not that suyu is getting a notice about yuzu’s takedown, if that was the case the request would be about yuzu.


Yuzu didn’t ship with the keys in the first place. The reason it was sued and folded was because they optimised it for totk before totk came out. It’s not that the software could break copyright protection, it’s that they did while developing it.


Except yuzu wasn’t dmca’d out? The devs took it down themselves


The problem described is not the paste getting outside, it’s not enough staying inside.


This doesn’t excite me tbh. So far my experience with Linux ports have been dominated by encountering weird glitches that nobody else seems to have and trying to solve them before realizing steam defaulted to native Linux again.


They’re shutting down the website too :( I really liked the in depth update logs. Yuzu (the website, emulator, android app) felt so extraordinarily polished for an emulator too. Shame Nintendo


Even if it’s not more secure it’s extra effort nevertheless. But as you said even without that it still removes an entire vector of attack



Wouldn’t that ban self hosted email period?


How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?


I don’t see why they wouldn’t. No way to verify I guess but it’s really hard to think Amazon wouldn’t come up with a system equivalent or better than what I did while reading this thread.

I imagine it’d be a one time convenience thing, or maybe you could open amazon and click ‘set up this device again’ or something and it reactivates


Can’t this all be prevented by the already connected devices checking if the new device matches a newly purchased, not yet set up device in your purchase history? Really slim chance someone eavesdrops on its id and retransmits fast enough to hijack the setup


It doesn’t contain usernames or full system information thankfully, but if you entered personal information in the details it’s there.


Apparently they put everything in a github repo anyways so there’s no removing it.


When you post a review the expectation is that you’re contributing to the site and can easily reverse this. Compiling everything in a database and putting it on github permanently is not part of the deal, and applying this licence to it without your consent is just outragous:

Database Contents License (DbCL) Summary: Waive all rights in the individual Contents of a Database licensed under the ODbL

If Facebook did this there would be massive outcry.


13 days before the first eIDAS vote, still no public text
Just saw this update. I'll quote from the [previous article](https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/) for a complete picture. > After years of legislative process, the near-final text of the eIDAS regulation has been agreed by trialogue negotiators1 representing EU’s key bodies and will be presented to the public and parliament for a rubber stamp before the end of the year. New legislative articles, introduced in recent closed-door meetings and not yet public, envision that all web browsers distributed in Europe will be required to trust the certificate authorities and cryptographic keys selected by EU governments. This means governments could impersonate websites, effectively breaking https. Over 500 researchers and experts had signed a letter against the problematic article 45. In the update they got a response: > In a media Q&A given by the European Commission on Thursday (9th November), the Commission characterized the risks raised in the open letter from cyber security experts and civil society as a ‘misunderstanding’. The Commission went on to state that the open letter had been discussed with their experts, who concluded ‘there is no risk of government spying, nor breaching the confidentiality of internet connections’. So they asked 'experts' who said breaking https doesn't lead to government spying. > We call on the European Commission, Council and Parliament to: > > * Publish the final legal text of the eIDAS regulation as soon as possible. > > * Ensure that civil society and cyber security experts have adequate time to scrutinize this regulation ahead of any legislative action. > > * Be transparent about the advice the Commission has received regarding this regulation and who was consulted. I'm so done with this. The fact that they can just: 1. Introduce an article that breaks https into a regulation a short time before it's voted on 2. Don't disclose the text of the articles for independent experts to look at 3. Blatantly deny what it does after it gets discovered Without any repercussions is depressing. They'll just keep trying this until it sneaks past. > This text is subject to approval in the final closed-door trialogue meeting in Brussels on November 8th, after which it will be published and presented for formal ratification in the European Parliament. This is expected to be in the first few months of 2024, but this vote is seen as a formality with the text of trialogue negotiations typically being adopted into law without alteration. > Last week, representatives of the European Parliament, Council and Commission announced they had signed off on the eIDAS Regulation and that a vote in Parliament’s ITRE committee will be held on November 28th. We understand that although no changes have been made to Article 45, there were last-minute changes to the accompanying Recital 32. However, the EU has still not published the agreed legal text. There are now less than 13 days until the vote and the cyber security community, civil society and the public are still unable to read the proposed regulation, let alone scrutinize its impacts. Finally: > If you’re a European citizen, you can write to the member of the European Parliament responsible for the eIDAS file - Romana JERKOVIĆ - and register your concern. Edit: formatting

Does steam ui restart in the background while playing games for anybody else?
First off I'm on wayland with Nvidia and I know that's a cardinal sin but I still wanted to see if anyone else is having the same problem. Simply, steam ui seems to crash or go unresponsive or something in the background while I'm playing games and then it relaunches itself and takes focus from the running game without pausing it. Also when playing with a controller sometimes the steam ui and overlay becomes unresponsive to controller input (and rarely mouse input too) so I need to use keyboard to navigate. Also today the game suddenly turned black and when I alt tabbed steam ui wasn't there so I launched it myself and then another one popped up on its own. Is this a known issue? I found a resolved github issue saying steam crashes if you don't click on notifications, but for me it happens regardless of notifications. Should I create an new issue on github? Edit for clarity and accuracy
