what breaks the immersion
This isn’t a game, it’s about your freedom, our freedom.
If you want to use Brave to watch YouTube… well I don’t think you really care. The fact that somehow watching a video on a gaming rig isn’t fast enough so clearly not normal. That being said honestly it’s good you did try.
Artwork idea : load thermostat.
You can’t start a new application if your room is above a temperature threshold.
Extension artwork idea : load credits.
If you do delegate some load to a non digital form, e.g reading a paper book instead of watching a movie, then you “earn” some credits you might use to bypass the load thermostat “when you really need it”.
Measure your system, e.g. Zigbee thermometer for your actual room power draw so the plug for your entire system, computer obviously but also screen, speakers, etc even AirCo unit or physical fans if you have some for the room itself.
That’s the only way to know what is actually happening.
If you do not want to go down that path then the heuristic is simple : the heavier the load on either CPU, or GPU, or obviously both, the higher the temperature. If you have a dynamic system, anything built this last few decades or so, then the fans will not kick in under a threshold which you can consider won’t significantly heat up your room.
TL;DR: if you start to hear fans spinning, you have to reduce your load.
Sorry to be that guy but… why? The whole motivation behind PDF is precisely NOT to be edited, NOT to be responsive, but rather to provide the SAME output, mostly text based, anywhere and everywhere.
I’m not saying she shouldn’t edit PDF but I also have to clarify it is not "normal’.
I’ll refrain from recommending anything before actually understanding the motivation behind her workflow.
lol, $100k+… HP revenue in 2024 was $53,559,000k.
(Dell same year $88,000,000k and Lenovo $69,000,000k, so ~$50B to $90B)
I let you calculate the percentage but… I’d guesstimate it’s approximately nothing.
Indeed, I think vulgarization of CVEs for a broader audience should start with requirements.
Few seem to address the issue here : it does not work 100% of the time for you.
It might work for everybody else but that doesn’t help you much. You have your setup, no theirs.
So… you need to investigate. When it works, great, nothing to learn from. When it fails though… can you find a pattern? Does it always fail after you have use something specific? Check https://lemmy.ml/post/46800646/25494455 which gives examples of potential failure point and journalctl logs. You can then check what failed and if not you can at least know when then backtrack to others logs, e.g. dmesg.
They key take away is that when things do not behave as expected you need to put a detective hat on and you investigate :
journalctl or dmesg and typically in /var/log/grep and other toolsYou also have limited times because the logs will, just like on a real crime scene, get contaminated or rotated or deleted. So… if you do encounter the problem do not rush to the next tasks at hand because you are wasting an opportunity to learn and there is vanishing window.
TL;DR : grep logs
what about just using Debian? It’s a bit hassle
What hassle? Genuinely curious.
Right, you actually can’t AFAIK but you can disable it.
It’s indeed not the point. GrapheneOS focus is on security. If you want to have complete control you’d better go with a Linux proper phone but AFAICT, unless you are fine with ~4hrs battery and/or can spend 1000€ on a device that very people have, it’s not for most.
Yes, I have a PinePhone and PinePhone Pro both with PostMarketOS so doing this is as easy as few sudo apk add packagename or sudo apk del firefox.
Now… if you want a daily driver then as few others hinted at, it’s much harder. I would instead, if deGoogle Android is an acceptable compromise for you, get a 2nd hand Pixel 8 or above, install GrapheneOS on it, remove the browser and that’s pretty much it already since it doesn’t come with an app store or equivalent. Well, there’s the GrapheneOS equivalent but there are ~10 apps on it at most last time I checked.
I’m aware (unfortunately) of the marketing claims and even if they might be true, as you say it is “for now”. So if it’s only temporary for that arm race, especially if held by a company who leaked its own code just days ago, then I have a hard time understanding why ‘zero-days are numbered’ because this title claims the dynamic itself is gone. That’s now my understanding, especially if other models are just marginally (which is hard to prove with models, finding proper metrics) worst than it.
See comment that shared https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/21/unauthorized-group-has-gained-access-to-anthropics-exclusive-cyber-tool-mythos-report-claims just few hours ago, and that’s not even sophisticated.
Anthropic and OpenAI have multiple times used this arm race rhetoric before and it worked. Their models are supposedly “too dangerous” to be released thus consequently they have to control access.
It might be true but so far what we have witnessed is that roughly equivalent models get released by others merely weeks or maybe months after, sometimes open, but the “moat” never lasted long so I’m questioning why it would be different this time.
That doesn’t make sense. Don’t the attackers have the same tools?
AI tools can find bugs faster than they can be patched
Not a security expert but wasn’t that the case already? It feels like before AI there were already a lot more bugs, security related or not, on backlogs. That’s precisely why there are metrics like severity.
I think the “trap” is to believe “we” can “win” once and for all.
Under capitalism (and I’m not suggesting there are better systems, only highlight a core mechanism) there will always be competition to capture value, both customers and lawmakers who (should) protect them.
There are countless examples but one of the most obvious on that topic if Microsoft itself with it’s sadly now classic EEE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish of which we can admire the comtemporary version with Github. Initially Github was acquired and no changed, nowadays a lot of basic functionalities, e.g. search within a repository are locked behind a login, there are more and more advertisements for Microsoft other products, e.g. CoPilot. That last product itself is questioning the foundation of free software and open source with its license washing process making unclear who did what, breaking provenance, etc.
The same happened with Google acquiring Android but not locking it down more and more.
The list could grow longer and longer, overall the point is to showcase a pattern : nothing is just “let” alone to grow on its own. It’s gradually captured and enshittified until there is nothing left but the name of a project because corporations exist only to extract more money. There is no moral, only an imperative for profit or their death.
So… unfortunately we WILL have to keep on both building AND protecting what’s been built so far with newer and more powerful threats. Microsoft, Google, and all large corporations who advertise themselves as allies of free software and open source MUST be judge on what they actually do, not on what they claim.
We have to push back and we will always have to. This year and the next.
Most distributions include Wine AFAICT yet I’d argue you shouldn’t use Wine because typically it means using proprietary software.
If you are using Wine for games then it’s also reconsider that there are plenty of open source game you can still pay for to support their author.
If you still want to play proprietary Windows games without native support then I would recommend to use a wrapper, e.g. Bottles (because of Proton, not because of the GUI) or even Steam (since you want to play proprietary Windows games anyway) as they’ll remove a layer of tinkering to find the right version, path, etc (basically prefix management).
… but yeah, even though Wine is amazing I would argue every time one uses it, if they are using Linux because they want more agency, they probably should reconsider and search for a free software alternative instead. It will be awkward at first, other UI, other UX, new community, but it’s an investment in the future.
I haven’t tested this myself but I assume one could benchmark both and see if there is noticeable performance loss.
FWIW the SteamDeck running official SteamOS does have a full desktop environment, it’s just hidden by starting Steam in Big Picture mode.
So… you could benchmark the “gain” but I doubt it’s significant, if any.
Also if you do like to play with hardware for gaming across networks checking Selkies or Moonlight to stream from your machine to your machine, no intermediary, little latency or overhead.
So happy with my 2nd hand Pixel 8. No BS, ecologically acceptable IMHO and yes runs most Android apps thanks to GrapheneOS.
