Game stores are refunding Ghost of Tsushima pre-orders in non-PSN countries https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/11/24154412/steam-refunding-ghost-of-tsushima-preorders-psn-network-unavailable

@verge The situation is simple. Sony f*ked up but Valve had to issue the refunds and take all the logistics nightmare. Valve, Epic and the other storefronts are just not taking the risk... Oh, there is a PSN account? We just won't sell... Can't really blame them...

ARM laptops are cheap / outstanding battery life - Linux is coming to them now in full 💻 :linux:

Acer Aspire One ARM laptop is soon rated close to 100% support via Linux 6.10.

Sure this device is not the latest - but there it is; a truly kicking ARM Snapdragon laptop for Linux!

Bonus: ARM's heritage is in smartphones - it means seamless operation between smartphone / laptop.

@Linux My biggest fear is that arm dont have something as a standard firmware like UEFI and companies decide to start locking down the operating system like is done on smartphones.

So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

The fee, likely $1, is aimed at stopping “relentless” bots, Musk said.

Me seeing yet another native vs proton argument appear:

I just wanna play games.

h0m3,
@h0m3@mastodon.social avatar

@gamingonlinux Honestly I prefer native just because it encourages support for the ecossystem. But I forgot how many years I've used wine, so zero problems running games on proton and between a game not working and running under proton the decision is not a hard one.

Question: Do you think search engines such as @duckduckgo, @google, @Bing, @brave and others should filter out spam generated by LLM that pollutes search results? Please boost for reach. TIA.

h0m3,
@h0m3@mastodon.social avatar

@nixCraft @duckduckgo @google @Bing @brave I dont think search engines should filter anything. There is a distinct difference between a search engine and a social media platform that you're not expecting your search results to be biased in any way. But I would definitely appreciate a toggle button, looks like the best option, if you want that filter you just enable it. I would even think it would be fine to enable by default if its easily visible and usable.
