Can the term potency also be used to refer to the exponent in English? Because that is what is meant by the terms in the other languages and I haven’t come across that usage of the word potency in English

I wouldn’t bet on it. It’s published by epic, after all. The Alan Wake remaster still hasn’t made it to steam, either.

I know David cage is problematic but what is that thing about Elliot page you are alluding to? I haven’t heard of that. Of course I know he was in beyond two souls so must have worked with cage but that’s the extent of my knowledge

I doubt that will happen. DXVK and VKD3D are just too good these days, so even if a developer wants to make sure their game runs on the steamdeck they’ll probs just try to increase its proton compatibility

This could be very helpful, but only if dualshock support also means that vibrations work and dualsense support means haptic feedback and/or adaptive triggers. There are way too many games that have support but only for controls and button prompts. For those, I’d rather use DS4Windows or DSX to get full controller support, albeit with the wrong button prompts (which can often also be modded)

Looking at RPCS3, it seems like most PS3 games wouldn’t run well on PS5 without dedicated, PS3-like hardware.

I have never ever managed to scratch a disc to the point where it became unusable. Neither have I ever had problems when buying used discs. I agree about the speed though; at this point my internet speed surpasses the speed with which games are installed from a disc

I’m neither american nor well versed in american history. That being said, from the quotes I read in your linked article about Lincoln’s views on slavery it does not seem to me that the northern states had a lot of money/resources to gain from freeing slaves in the south. So, correct me if i’m wrong, but how can you call it a trade dispute if one side views it as losing property while the other side does not view it as obtaining property?

A few web services such as YouTube use VP9. It was developed by google to have a royalty-free alternative to HEVC.

What makes you say that? Last time I checked (about a year ago), yuzu and ryujinx were way more performant and fewer bugs in the emulated titles compared to Xenia (Canary). Have there been such big improvements to Xenia since?

Oh yeah their efforts are definitely a huge net benefit for the Linux community, I just don’t like seeing big companies portrayed in a better light than they deserve. When it comes down to it, what valve really cares about is still their bottom line.

Playing at 4k+ resolutions, the difference between a well implemented quality DLSS and native ranges from barely distinguishable to objectively better because DLSS is also great anti aliasing. And even if you really need native resolution, DLAA is almost always better than any other anti aliasing method. Before DLSS 2 came out you might have had a point, but now I simply disagree with your statement.

Proton is based on wine, which is copyleft so valve didn’t exactly have a choice in keeping it open source. I also don’t necessarily think that their goal was to reach the rather small existing user base of Linux users, but rather they wanted to make sure they aren’t at the will of a bigger company (Microsoft) whose product is/was required to run most of what valve makes money with.

You know people can harass women or be dicks to their coworkers/subordinates and not be transphobic, right? Also, as of 2022, about 65 people work at Linus tech tips. Saying “Everyone was cool with it and endorsed it” is a bit of a broad statement to make.

I last used a chromium based browser more than 5 years ago. Recently I bought myself a tablet and had to make the difficult decision to switch to the kiwi browser there just because Mozilla can’t be bothered to include tabs for their tablet layout.

Why is there a sentence missing?

Huh. For me, the inbox is broken

How is it biased to point out whether you can disable telemetry and how simple it is to do so?

That’s an interesting threat model. What about apps like signal though? Surely they are preferable to SMS?

As in, you are notified of replies?
