Then they must be held liable for what they allow to spread on their platforms

Yes, at least that’s what was on OP’s system

Will the Gnome version of Bazzite work for HDR on an Nvidia GPU, or for that matter any other OS as long as I’m using gamescope to run the game with HDR enabled?

I don’t think it would work because of the fact that HDR isn’t properly implemented yet on GNOME, still waiting for that to land in 47…

I suffer from having to update the firmware of my Xbox controllers through a Windows Laptop we use for office work (using LibreOffice, btw) because they will stop working on my Fedora Linux machine after some time when I update the kernel modules for xone and xpadneo.

It’s interesting to me that you can do that using a VM!!

OMG nice build! I’m waiting on RDNA4 to finally upgrade my setup to AM5 and by then I hope we already have the X3D variants of the 9000 series from AMD too, but daily driving my RTX 2060 6GB in 2024 on both Windows and Linux has been quite the painful experience…

Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?

I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)

Doesn’t matter if you know what it means, but you can still pronounce it (for the most part)

That’s the beauty of the added gramatical complexity these languages have compared to English, although there are still cases where things get ambiguous. For example, the following words are written differently but pronounced the exact same, generally relying on their context to differentiate them:

• sela/cela;
• censo/senso;
• assento/acento;
• cozer/coser;
• concerto/conserto;
• tacha/taxa;

I’ve always been told that Portuguese is like “Spanish and French had a baby”.

Having studied Spanish, French and English I can confirm that those similarities are definitely present!

My wife and I were in a cab with a native Portuguese speaker who knew a bit of English and a bit of Romantic languages. My wife knows a bit of French; I know a bit of Spanish… and between the three of us, we were able to speak to each other in a kinda “creole type” delivery. It was really cool to experience.

What an interesting story! Where I live there are a lot of Haitian immigrants and communicating with them also involves that “creole type” language. In comparison talking to Cuban / Venezuelan immigrants is made much easier due to the similarities with Spanish. Regardless, the fact you can have a basic talk with an entire continent because of this is so cool.

Lastly, I have to ask… do you think “bradypneic” would be pronounced “BRAY-DIP” or “BRA-DIP” in English?

Definitely the second pronunciation (“BRA-DIP”) is the correct one!

English fails hard at conveying phonetics through written language. In Brazilian portuguese (my native language) those words would be written as:

• parenquimal (from “parênquima”);
• taquipnéico;
• bradipnéico;

The lack of diacritics (and several other characteristics) makes English really easy to learn but in contrast you get those kinds of problems. I’ve never seen anyone get those words wrong in my field (I’m a vet)

Over the last year I’ve been dating a potterhead and I never read/watched the whole series (due to generally disliking fictional books and not really watching movies). However, I love video games and feel like playing Hogwarts Legacy would allow me to know the universe of HP a little better while also being more connected with my boyfriend’s interests - we could also play it together!

Nothing major, just lots and lots of browser toolbars in the XP era and contact with some trojans (especially on torrents) that were thankfully caught by the antiviruses available back then.

Wish I could buy one through official means here in Brazil 🇧🇷

That’s fair, but measuring the diameter of pizzas isn’t really something I do tbh and I don’t know the US equivalent of what we call “family sized” around here

Wow that is outrageous. I paid the Brazilian equivalent for that amount yesterday on a 16 slice pizza with four different flavors and a white chocolate border + an 8 slice small sweet one from a local shop with delivery services and all.

No wonder these companies don’t see the financial benefit for bringing their operations to the country…

how is it that this circle is warped in the bottom right

Hmmm, now I get it, thank you!

I’m aware there are problems with the way their survey works, but I don’t see how that’s the case…

To me it seems like it’s done on a monthly basis by selecting a random pool of users and prompting them to participate by collecting stats at that moment, only once they opt into it.

AFAIK the data is not aggregated over a certain period of time (i.e. “a year”)

If the latest Steam survey is anything to go by, it’s actually lower of a percentage when it comes to gaming, representing 1.94% of the market. The stats mentioned in the article come from StatCounter which monitors web traffic.

Looks like we’re going to have to wait until May 15th for NVIDIA’s Beta drivers (555.xx) to add support for the recently merged explicit sync wayland protocol, but at least progress is being made to finally get these issues fixed.

If Wine on wayland were ready we wouldn’t depend on that merge request since the major compositors have already implemented the protocol, but I’m hopeful it won’t take long for XWayland to support it too since all threads were resolved and CI is already passing there.

This article gives a nice overview of the current situation: Explicit Sync Wayland Protocol Merged, Wayland Protocols 1.34 released
