OH I didn't know that ubi games worked that way on Steam, well then I guess this means that AC Odissey (and all other ubi games actually) are broken for everyone playing on linux, steam deck included atm?

Cool. Would be even cooler if there was an alternative to Google Wallet for non-samsung smartphones tho...

Grazie! Mi ero perso la discussione su Feddit e ovviamente anche quella su Bluesky visto che risale a prima del mio arrivo. Le recupero volentieri

Public money, public code! 🎉

I didn't know about the toggle, but it seems me much more practical than the notification. I'll probably go for that one, thank you!

I kinda agree with the statement that the Matrix "ecosystem" is unstable, but I've been looking at it for some time now (It's more than a year that I'm periodically giving it a try, but without having asked my friends or family to move yet) and what I've seen is some slow solid progress. So I'll probably keep watching (and contribute if possible) its growth until there will be at least a desktop and a mobile client that works flawlessly out of the box, and then proceed to annoying any person with why they should move to Matrix (^_)

Some non-requested personal opinions about the clients I tried:

• I think that the desktop/web version of Element is kinda stable, but the android and iOS versions are a big no to me (with this I mean they are not ready to be recommended to non tech-savy people imho).
• Element X as many others said it's still in beta, but I see huge potential on it. And I'd say that as soon as they manage to implement onboarding (like registering through the app) and proper "message replies" and threads it could be already pretty stable and usable from everyone.
• Fluffy Chat last time I tried was reeeally unstable, but it's been a while and maybe there were good progresses there as well (it must be kept in mind that it's volunteers-driven and not backed by a company as Element is)
• Cinny and Fragment seems very interesting too, but haven't found the time to try them out properly yet.

In the end I gave up with my attempt to self repair the tablet and returned the battery to Amazon. I’ll probably bring it to a Samsung store and ask them what’s wrong with it. But thank you for your reply!

THANK YOU A LOT for the review! I was thinking about buying a Slimbook Executive (still undecided between 14” and 16” models) but I am a bit scared because it’s the first Linux laptop I’d buy (previously I was installing Linux myself on major brand hardware) and the amount of well written reviews I found online is not that big as I’m used to with major brands.

Just a couple of questions, if you have time to answer them:

1. what do you mean with “it gets gaming laptop hot”? Like that you just feel is warmer while charging or that it becomes uncomfortable to type on it / hold it on your lap? (Laptop getting uncomfortably hot is the main downside of the previous MSI laptop I owned, that’s why I’m worrying about it)
2. did you ever felt you would have need a discrete GPU? Or did the integrated intel one always carried all the tasks you were doing as expected?

That's very true!

Thanks to the whole blackout thing and the many amazing apps that came to Lemmy (like Sync that I'm using rn and loving), Lemmy is now good enough to replace Reddit for the new content (at least in my opinion)

But Reddit is not (or at least not only) an "what's happening now" social network like Twitter and there is a huge amount of old content on it that can still really useful. So I guess that, in the best scenario, we'll have Reddit and Lemmy cohexist and complement each other :)

Guarda fino due anni fa ti avrei definito "paranoico" per la cosa di evitare WindTre, se non fosse che appunto circa un paio di anni fa è capitato che non funzionasse più internet a casa (proprio con Wind) e in contemporanea neanche la rete mobile di mio padre (anch'essa Wind) quindi, come dire, mi sono un po' ricreduto 😂

Molto interessante! Sai a chi si appoggiano per la copertura? E (non so se ti è mai capitato di doverlo usare) com'è il servizio clienti?

Anche io ho un Pixel! Grazie per avermelo fatto presente, controllerò

Grazie! Posso chiederti dove vivi? (Nel senso, non mi serve la città precisa ma basta sapere paesino sperduto, piccola città, grande città,…)

I'm not sure but it seems there isn't...

A me sembra più un errore che una cosa voluta... migrando da Twitter a X qualcuno avrà rotto qualcosa e ora stanno aspettando di capire se il danno è irreversibile o meno per decidere se annunciarla alla stampa come una feature

Comunque questa cosa dovrebbe far riflettere sull'importanza dell'archiviazione a fini storiografici nell'era di internet

La comunità FOSS/privacy-focused sa essere abbastanza critica nei confronti dei progetti sviluppati da aziende e non da un insieme non meglio organizzato di persone. C'è chi odia Mozilla, c'è chi odia Brave, c'è chi odia DDG.

Alla fine secondo il mio modesto parere, sono tutti e tre delle valide alternative. Io personalmente ho scelto di usare Firefox (+un paio di estensioni) sia su mobile che su PC perché da un punto di vista "etico" non mi piace che tutti i browser usino lo stesso motore e quindi volevo supportare Mozilla che (insieme ad Apple) è l'unica azienda a non basare il suo browser su Chromium.

Quanto al motore di ricerca, ho provato e trovato ottimo DuckDuckGo (che uso ancora su iOS dove la scelta per safari è più limitata), Startpage ottimi risultati (sono quelli di Google) ma la UI non mi ha mai convinto, e ora da un annetto sto usando Brave Search che oltre ad offrire buoni risultati e ad avere una bella interfaccia è l'unico a gestire un indice proprio e non a riciclare quelli di Google o Bing
