It’s not a community rule, but I was under the impression that it fell under the instance discrimination rules.

Orc is anyone who fights on Russia’s side in the Ukraine war and more broadly the people who support the war. It’s usually not racist because it A) does not refer to every single person of Russian ethnicity and B) also includes people from other countries who went to fight for Russia voluntarily.

Weather it is a racist slur depends how it’s used.

Told me it doesn’t know specifics without logging in. Knew join date and basic stats from the user page

Adding Oauth with GitHub and GitLab is pretty easy

OAuth is just making yet another account with a 3rd party authorization mechanism.

Self hosting for your own needs is great but you won’t get the “drive by” contributions you get from shared platforms. On GitHub, Gitlab, and Codeberg, if I even see as little as a typo in the readme file, I open a pull request. I will not sign up on a hundred different git hosters for stuff like that.

We’re in the “grow a locked-in user base” part of their rollout.

An attempt at that. It will be partially successful but with AI accelerators coming to more and more consumer hardware, the hurdles of self-hosting get lower and lower.

I have no clue how to set up an LLM server but installing https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-tools is easily done with a few mouse clicks. The Krita plugin handles all the background tasks.

However, people don’t really like ai.

Whether they like it or not, doesn’t really matter. It’s being used everywhere.

The results aren’t great

Depends. To get information: No. To write big software: No. To write an Excel macro or a browser bookmarklet: Yes.

I’m not sure that an extension would have the necessary access to manipulate the browser like that.

I don’t know if they still do but they used to have. That, however, is something to discuss with the genius decision makers at Mozilla who decide to break extension APIs every couple of years. Firefox on Android still hasn’t recovered from last time.

You only disable the chat. Overall setting seems to be browser.ml.enable.

I like the tab groups.

And nobody should stop you installing an extension that provides tab groups. I agree with the other commentator that some features can be left to extensions and don’t need to be part of the core web browser, though.

Do you know if this means desktop Linux apps in general will no longer be supported?

Seems like Google moved to a new framework but X86 support may be a problem: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-linux-terminal-doom-3521804/

ChromeOS moves from a Gentoo-derived base that’s relatively close to desktop Linux to Android. Google wrote a technology that lets Linux X11 applications work with ChromeOS‘s display stack. Seems this is not a priority to be ported over.

Edit [2025-08-10]: I need to correct myself. According to https://www.androidauthority.com/android-16-linux-terminal-doom-3521804/ support for Wayland support is in development. I don’t know how much it matured in the months since that article. No idea if / how well it’s supported on X86, though, which is a requirement for Steam.

What does it do in doom?

• K: Keys
• F: Firearms
• A: Ammunition/Armor

or Keys, Full Ammo.

IDFA is the same but without the keys, so you still get to go keyhunting.

I played Heretic yesterday for a bit. Sadly no perspective correction for mouse look (their ROTT had it neither) which makes me seasick. GZDoom is much better in that regard.

It was a union contract.

Raven in in the Call of Duty gulag.

I don’t know what you mean. Raven is a Microsoft subsidiary. What sort of contracts would they need to secure with Microsoft?

There will probably always be a manufacturer that looks at that niche.

Microsoft has plenty of console exclusives, so they are on PlayStation and Switch but not Windows for whatever reason. Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is one I’m confused why they don’t trust their own platform with.

That said, they don’t trust their own Windows on ARM devices either and those should definitely be capable enough to run games that come to Switch.

https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux is a thing, yes. Public and fully open source.

Given how much Microsoft wants to shove AI tools every where in Windows, I don’t think this optimisation will make much of a difference.

AMD’s own Windows drivers also perform much worse in low power situations than the open source Linux drivers, whereas Windows game mode (or whatever it’ll be called) is about reducing background tasks that consume RAM. Obviously reducing RAM consumption is beneficial but it’s not the whole story.

The idea that “success stories” are only amd is silly.

Luckily I didn’t write that.
