For me personally, it’s just a nice to have for games that require it. I remember pulling out my steam controller a few times when Breath of the Wild needed motion controls.

Bevy, cause I’m a sucker for Rust
sleep_deprived@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Federal agency warns critical Linux vulnerability being actively exploited342·11 months agoThis is a use-after-free, which should be impossible in safe Rust due to the borrow checker. The only way for this to happen would be incorrect unsafe code (still possible, but dramatically reduced code surface to worry about) or a compiler bug. To allocate heap space in safe Rust, you have to use types provided by the language like
Box
,Rc
,Vec
, etc. To free that space (in Rust terminology, dropping it by usingdrop()
or letting it go out of scope) you must be the owner of it and there may be current borrows (i.e. no references may exist). Once the variable isdrop
ed, the variable is dead so accessing it is a compiler error, and the compiler/std handles freeing the memory.There’s some extra semantics to some of that but that’s pretty much it. These kind of memory bugs are basically Rust’s raison d’etre - it’s been carefully designed to make most memory bugs impossible without using
unsafe
. If you’d like more information I’d be happy to provide!
That’s the point. Malicious compliance.
Even as an (older) zoomer in the US, this was never a thing for me. No one cared what phone you used. If you had an Android you wouldn’t be in iMessage group chats but no one judged you for it.
sleep_deprived@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, which distro should I try to edit videos stably?1·1 year agoThe GPU I used is actually a 1080, with a (rapidly declining in usefulness) Intel 4690k. But I suppose laptop vs desktop can certainly make all the difference. What I really want is GPU virtualization, which I’ve heard AMD supports, but I’m not about to buy a new GPU when what I’ve got works fine.
sleep_deprived@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, which distro should I try to edit videos stably?1·1 year agoMy experience with single GPU passthrough on Proxmox to a media VM was pretty positive, especially for it being an old Nvidia card. Even as someone doing it for the first time, it just took about 10 minutes to figure out the passthrough itself and another ~15 to figure out some driver issues. And it’s worked perfectly since then. All in all much better than what I’d expected.
Typically this thinking is mostly correct - e.g. Manifest v3 - but not in this case. If websites see enough users using chormium, via user agent or other fingerprinting, they’ll be more willing to require WEI. And unlike Manifest v3 etc. this affects the whole web, not just users of one browser or the other.
In every case monopolies are bad. Including in tech.
