I cannot wait for Firefox to finally support WebUSB.
^(I literally cannot wait, it'll never happen...)

"For 50 years, the ESA has saved numerous species -- including iconic American species like bald eagles [...] from extinction"
Self-proclaimed patriots driving their own national symbol to extinction, no satire in the world could've written it better.

Here in the UK I'm getting fed up of regular pride marches because I'm pretty sure "they won" like the fight should be over.
That's extremely ignorant, especially in the UK where trans people are treated so poorly a woman has been granted asylum in New Zealand over it.

Online play with dedicated servers has been almost entirely positive in my opinion and makes up a lot of my fondest gaming memories, it's the live service games that tend to suck.

In chronological order.

Someone could have used it. Now its just waste.
It's mentioned 4 times in the article it was headed for the scrapyard, including the sentence you got your info about the battery from. That's almost impressive...

It's gotten a lot more stable though some games still cause freezes while others don't at all. I currently also have to run KDE with direct scanout disabled to get rid of some flicker and fullscreen related freezes, though I haven't noticed a difference in how it feels compared to with it on.
One non Linux related issue I don't see mentioned enough is that at least some cards suffer from pretty bad coil whine at normal fps values (~120 is the loudest on mine). I don't hear it through my headphones but it's something to be aware of if.
Performance has improved and it's usually been around what I'd expect aside from ray-tracing, which is still a weak spot but close enough to be playable. ROCM (AMDs cuda equivalent) is working now and FSR4 recently got a breakthrough by vkd3d devs so it might be next.
I don't regret my choice at all but I'm a tinkerer, if you want it to be 100% ready instead of 90% it's probably better to wait a year.

Thank you for consistently brightening up my feed.

Someone saw the latest John Oliver! Really great video, I'm glad high profile allies like him still exist for the sake of my American trans friends.

I'm not sure how this would be considered good, it's still oppression. The result just happens to be desirable but that doesn't justify the way it was achieved.

You look like Lena Raine! Hope the session went well.

Disabled on lemm.ee due to abuse I believe, gotta upload it somewhere else and post the link.

VR is possible but not ideal right now, largely depends on your headset and the games. SteamVR is lacking proper asynchronous reprojection so you can't dip below your headset's framerate without stutter and alternatives like Monado aren't as plug-and-play. Hopefully when Valve releases their (presumably) standalone Linux VR headset deckard there will be another boost to improving VR on Linux for everyone.

I ate the eggplant for the whole first paragraph.

I don't think Astolfo is a femboy cause they never refer to themselves as a boy and the japanese games use neutral pronouns. Big non-binary energy.

Their ARM VPS are gas.

electron apps that have been compiled to wasm

I got a Sapphire Pure, wasn't quite MSRP but with 799€ including 19% VAT still better than I expected in the months leading up to the launch - and it's just a beauty...
A friend is running a Red Devil on Linux and they have the same idle power draw so I assume it's just some kinks in the initial drivers but it's already looking pretty good in that regard, similar to my previous card (Vega 64). The video I saw, and yeah mine is behaving similarly, undervolting drastically increases clocks though stability testing on Linux is not fun so I haven't looked how far I could push it yet, but really excited for the undervolting potential. I've seen it's possible to get near stock performance with as low as 240W.

My 9070 XT Linux Launch Drivers Experience
I've had the luck to snipe a 9070 XT at a sane price on launch day and I've been using it on Linux since it arrived yesterday so I wanted to share some words, mostly praise, about my experience.
I'm currently on CachyOS with linux-rc, mesa-git and linux-firmware-git and the experience has been amazing. The occasional driver bugs exist, especially when using raytracing, but overall it works really well.
I've ran a few benchmarks and in rasterizing I always get really close to the Windows performance, e.g. Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra (no RT) gets within 95% of Windows with similarly good frame times. Cyberpunk's Raytracing can cause a crash and when it works is only about half of Windows performance with very fluctuating frame times, but other games like Control or GTA V Enhanced run very stable with max RT.
Another selling point of RDNA4 for me was the efficiency after I had returned my 7900XT card in part due to super high idle usage (80W+) on Linux. Here on launch day it's using 40W with
