  • Australian ban on fish-shaped plastic soy sauce dispensers a world first

  • South Australia will be the first place in the world to ban them under a wider ban on single-use plastics that comes into force on 1 September.

  • At least you can disable all of Apple Intelligence with a single switch in Settings. I’m glad they made it easy to say no to.

  • Your question mark key seems to be sticking.

    The only part that makes it somewhat clear what the mode is is the part they explain the differences between local co-op and online mode.

    This is a list of gameplay changes compared to a standard local co-op run:

    They could have been a little more explicit and called it “online co-op mode” or something, and had a paragraph explaining what it is not just how it’s different to something else.

  • With the economy the way it is, you’d be surprised just how many people need to pick up bits and pieces slowly over the next few months as they can’t afford the December markup and big spend on everything Xmas.

  • I didn’t believe you until I just googled and saw how mad the fans were about literally this. 🤮

    Like, Ellie is practically your daughter in the game. What the actual fuck?!

    No wonder Bella ignores fans comments online!

  • I imagine that’s to ensure the huge shock of Joel’s death was kept under wraps. If Joel was mysteriously missing from most of the trailer, the internet no doubt would have sussed it out.

    I loved playing Ellie. For so much of the game, I shared her deep desire for revenge too. And then playing Abby and growing connected to their story, by the end, I was so torn.

    A really unique experience I haven’t had before in a game.

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Build it. Gentoo, Arch, and any other minimalist distro where there’s less userspace fluff out of the box can easily be configured to be incredibly hardened.

    Your looking for a desktop distribution that doesn’t really exist out of the box (perhaps Qubes). Android is a mobile OS for a reason and has a different architecture in userspace to accommodate for is threat model and use cases.

    Just because desktop distros don’t typically lock down userspace out of the box doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

    Edit: Here’s some examples:
    Plague Kernel
    Hardened Arch Linux
    SELinux for MAC
    Kernel lockdown
    Immutable distro BlendOS
    Bubblewrap sandboxing
    Firejail sandbox leveraging hardened malloc
    Hardened Alpine Linux

    I don’t think there’s a distro that goes as hard as mobile except maybe some based on flatpaks rather than package repos of libs and bins. But you can piece your own together based on your requirements and personal threat model.

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • I’m not trying to be rude but none of these points are true. I imagine you’re confusing a single Linux distribution and their architecture with being representative of Linux as a whole. You can indeed spin an unprivileged, immutable distribution with SELinux for MAC, hardened kernel, and so much more, which would blow Android et al out of the water.

  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

    Jump

  • Errrrmmmm I think this is just an issue either with your choice of distro or your approach to security.

    The Linux ecosystem has by far some of the greatest security technologies available for modern operating systems. Android is a Linux distribution after all.

    Most of the issues with Linux on a phone so far is more the hardware and architecture to support and integrate the hardware.

    Major mobile device manufacturers have secure enclaves, cryptographic co-processors, advanced face/depth cameras, fingerprint readers, etc. The system architecture needs to be tailored to the hardware and security architecture for the threat models mobile devices face that you want to mitigate.

    iOS is Unix deep under the hood, Android is Linux deep under the hood. The issues here aren’t with the kernels, they’re with userspace, hardware selection, and perhaps the odd supporting driver, service, or interface.

  • AMD GPU Gaming Laptop - UK?

    Jump

  • Hop on over to overclockers.co.uk as they sell plenty of AMD gaming laptops but I’d hit up their forums first and ask for advice or give them a call. Someone there will be able to point you towards a decent model that supports Linux well.

  • AMD GPU Gaming Laptop - UK?

    Jump

  • PCSpecialist laptops are usually easy to install Linux on. Just be sure to change the operating system to “No operating system required” to save some money by not paying for a Windows license.

    Juno Computers ship theirs with Linux preinstalled.

    Dell also sell theirs with the option of Ubuntu.

  • 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah I’ve run the gauntlet of distros too (including setting up distcc across several boxes so I could run Gentoo everywhere (which is far too much of my life I can never get back).

    Arch is the best of Gentoo/Slack with the ease of Ubuntu/Debian.

    Also sounds like I need to buy a new card as I’m nvidia too right now.

  • 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

    Jump

  • No I didn’t. I think the public source was a nightmare to build and get working (never tried, friends did though) and I wasn’t going to pay for it when the Wine project was publicly annoyed by the proprietary forks not contributing upstream (didn’t Wine relicense because of Cedega?).

    I payed for CrossOver over the years as they had Office working pretty well and as much as I use FOSS office suites for personal use, inevitably someone sends me something that wouldn’t open and I’d have to use MS Office.

    My biggest gripe with using Linux for gaming over the years was drivers and needing to switch between them since some would be good for compositors (typically the FOSS ones), others for gaming (typically the proprietary blob ones). Then there was the regular breakages etc.

    I wish I had switched to Arch sooner as I’ve had so few issues with that distro given the core packages are so minimal; there’s less opinionated cruft that other distros have. It’s much easier to tailor Arch to your needs.

    Naturally, my gaming rig will be running Arch (all my servers bar one run it too - absurdly stable for a rolling release).
