Look to Minecraft servers like Hypixel for how anticheat should be done. You can completely hack your client, but your every movement is scrutinized by the server and only the data you need is received. This cripples what cheating can allow you to do without using client side anticheat and still enabling mods that improve quality of life.


It’s a meta search engine: it aggregates results from multiple sources for your search query. So yes, it queries other search engines.



Isn’t FUTO an organization that named their keyboard application after themselves?


LVRA is a great source of Linux VR info. Wivrn is easiest to setup using envision. Its biggest disadvantage is that it uses a translation layer for OpenVR games, though it works pretty well.


Have you tried using Wivrn instead of ALVR? I found it to work way better. Also, I don’t think the Bigscreen beyond is well supported yet on Linux.


From a privacy point of view, it makes pefect sense to not share your phone number with a merchant. The only buisness you have with them is a single transaction, they don’t need any more information about you other than knowing that you paid.


That’s where I think android’s biggest advantage lies: the staggering amount of high quality, no bullshit FOSS apps available.


Having a removable and upgradable wireless module makes sense given Framework’s ethos. Wifi is being constantly developed with new versions which makes it worthwhile to make upgradable wifi modules. Last time I checked you could even save some money by not including a wireless modules on the Intel models.


I personally went with a yubikey because their form factor is pretty slick. I’m not to worried about damaging the key.


Ah yes, charging money for not using a service, makes perfect sense! /s



As you’ve probably heard, it’s basically just NVidia with shitty drivers. They are getting better but are not included in many distros (they can usually be added through the package manager pretty easily) since they are proprietary. Intel and AMD generally work out of the box for gaming. NVidia drivers are bad enough that I sold my 2060 for an ARC a750 just because of the drivers lol.


I have one and opted for a Oneplus 6 running postmarketOS because of the pinephone’s many shortcomings:

  • Terrible battery life when on, though can last on standby
  • Phone has terrible performance. It is frustrating to do basic tasks because it is too slow.
  • It gets uncomfortably hot when using it.

Some things I liked:

  • Screen was fine
  • All the phone hardware features work (unlike my op6)
  • Plastic back makes the phone pretty rugged.

I might have stayed with the pinephone if it was more powerful like the pro, and might have brought a battery bank so I don’t have to worry about running out.


That’s seems like a good idea, considering the plethora of videos online of packages being stolen with an obvious camera watching the thieves.



That and it has full functionality in the browser. No bullshit “download the app”.


I find phone images too always look overprocessed, specifically sharpened and denoised.



Yeah. One of the major reasons I never plan to use Proton or Tutanota is that none of my email apps will work and I will rely on whatever interface they provide.


Yeah, libredirect is awesome. It’s useful even if I remember all the frontends, since it means even embedded and linked videos use whatever frontend I want in the case of Youtube.


At least for ProtonVPN, you can install the wireguard app and import a protonVPN config and get the base functionality with no bullshit.



LVRA has a great table listing compatibility.


I use that feature when a site requires 2fa bit I don’t really care about the account.


I personally use bitwarden. I like it because it has a flow of cash from corporate users paying for hosting that funds development meaning I know how they get their money. You can use Bitwarden’s server if you don’t need all the features or you are willing to pay or you can selfhost (which is what I do).


Every few months or so there is news of what hurdle has been overcome getting the camera on the oneplus 6 to work. So you might be right there.


I currently run DivestOS on a oneplus 6 and it’s pretty slick with mull for web browsing and neostore for apps.


I daily drove a Oneplus 6 with PostmarketOS for a few months. While it was very cool and gave me a bunch of freedom compared to android, I missed things like always having proper mobile UIs and a working camera. It is my understanding that the fairphone 4 is in a similar state of support, if a bit worse. Can recommend it though if you like using linux and don’t need banking or a camera from your phone.


Interesting. I usually will use the measuring tools as a sanity check to make sure I did not mess up before I spend an hour printing. Most of my projects are mostly composed of primitives and boolean modifiers so I can usually put my dimensions in the panel that appears when you create an object.


I have not actually tried it, bit Bazzite looks like it would be a perfect replacement for steamOS for those who want more out of their deck.


I think it would be reasonable to have some medium sized text in the corner at the beginning of the video describing what kind of relationship Techlore has with its partners. Something like: “We received money from Corp to make this video about their product. We had full control about what statements we made”


Is there any special way that you use Blender that makes it good for CAD? I also love using blender for my 3D printing projects since I have lots of experience using it for animation projects and can make models very fast. It is just that it becomes much harder when exact dimensions are important which is where software like Fusion and FreeCAD shine, not to mention the parametric modeling.


TLDR: LineageOS prioritizes keeping old hardware alive, GrapheneOS prioritizes physical and remote security.



When starting Aurora, you can choose between an anonymous account or your own. You can still use the anonymous option even if you are logged in to other services with google. If you go logged on anyways, I guess Google will not know your every tap with Aurora? I would think logged in, google play store and aurora would be comparable (not private).


Aurora store has a cleaner interface with no ads and can be used without a google account.


I’m pretty sure you have to have google play services or MicroG for FIDO2 to work on android. A bit silly of you ask me.
