I’m sure that’s not gonna get misused. /s

I’m not a fan of LLMs, but an app has absolutely no business deciding what input method I use.

This feels too similar to completely idiotic practice of blocking the copy-paste of credentials and disallowing password managers in certain apps/websites.

Yes, and another big difference is that Bottles refuses to provide any kind of help to package maintainers.
According to maintainers’ comments on the Github project, they have to figure out how to build it by trial and error.

I was actually really surprised that there’s isn’t any kind of build documentation.
It’s pretty unusual.

I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.

The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

But they won’t, because of the license.
And neither can the Bottles devs.

If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.

It’s kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can’t say it’s very surprising.

Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they’re the only ones that are able to do it properly.

edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that’s not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn’t seem that unreasonable.

edit2: now that I’ve had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I’m not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it’s impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.

Also, why do these replacement screens always insist on increasing the resolution?

The low res is one of the main reasons the Deck holds up as well as it does.

Yes, it does. Your map shows maybe a few chargers per city at most, and basically nothing in the East.

Meanwhile generics are now on almost every supermarket parking and petrol station in any bigger city.

Central Europe.

In what way? I’ve literally never seen a Tesla charger where I live, but there’s a ton of generic ones.

charging infrastructure in place

What infrastructure? Pretty sure Tesla in EU is using a standard plug, same as any other EV.

Not to mention Tesla’s quality is well known at this point.

It’s going to be really difficult in a standard setup.

If you really care maybe try something like Tails.

Holy shit, this company is based in France and they’re publicly doxxing their users in the replies.

I don’t even know what to say, under GDPR they’re extra fucked now.

Thankfully it wasn’t a great success. Almost every time they were able to only get a time-limited exclusive.

Tens (hundreds?) of millions well spent! /s

Can we have a frivolous lawsuit against Epic Games Store as well?

I mean, they pinky promised to take a lower cut so everyone (including customers) will benefit, but so far only the publishers got anything out of it and customers don’t even get basic features in the EGS client.

In my case it refused to ever mark me as idle, which meant I never got any notifications on mobile…

Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can’t be that hard.

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

I guess OP wasn’t aware. Or it just wouldn’t fit the meme. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I never really compared the source to the converted mobi, but overall I can’t really complain.
Usually if the formatting is a little screwed up I assume it’s the source’s fault. :)

Almost every book I read nowadays is an epub converted to mobi.

Honestly, the bigger issue I have is the inability to put the sideloaded books into a series “folder”.
Instead I had to set Calibre to add “<series> <number> <book title>” string to the book tile in the metadata. :/

Pretty well written post.

On Kindle and epub: it’s pretty annoying, but once you set up Calibre to automatically convert on sending to device, it’s effortless.

I wonder if people realize that cyberpunk is meant to be a dystopian satire, and not just a cool aesthetic

No, they don’t… For years now most people have considered cyberpunk to be just “rainy cityscape with neons”.

But it’s not that surprising, since a lot of us already do live in a cyberpunk world, except for some of the advanced technologies usually appearing in the genre.
