Enabling EAC is a simple checkbox you click in the dashboard when you build the executable afaik. How can this be so hard?

You can probably omit the queer. Just dystopian nightmare is enough.

In general, it should work. Since M.2 slots are usually wired to PCIe and networkcards will usually also be attached to PCIe, I don’t see why not. However, personally I’d probably not use something from aliexpress for this purpose.

The only person who would think that is someone who is equally toxic.

Damn, I thought blahaj would have more defederation. Place is just as toxic as hexbear.

I’m wondering how long it can take to just port an existing launcher to linux? If I can remember right, the interface, store etc. is all just the embedded website, apart from certain elements. That’s something a halfway talented developer could probably do within two weeks tops.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are lying about receiving death threats.

100%. I’m willing to bet he didn’t even receive any threats. The guy was a short-lived lolcow.

Depending on the game, that can be an issue. Precompiling shaders means the game will, well, compile everything before it’s used. If you cancel it, it will compile them during runtime. Depending on the game, that can result in massive performance degradation. I remember when overwatch was ran through lutris, you were adviced to play ~5 - 10 Minutes in a bot game or in practice mode until everything was done because FPS were abysmal until compilation was done.

I’ll just wait the time. Most of the games I play don’t get daily updates and my machine is beefy enough to handle compilation in a couple of minutes.

Well, you know … “them”

It’s real GPS, but within a sandbox without additional permissions. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Damn I must’ve overread that. But how isn’t it working? I have a private instance and it has been working without problems apart from connecting to brave, which is rate limiting me immediately. And there’s so many sites to choose as potential providers, losing a few to rate limits honestly doesn’t seem like a big deal.

Graphene doesn’t, they got their own sandboxed google play services compatibility layer. Other OS - no idea tbh.

That’s unfortunate, but not surprising. Luckily, the world works without google.

Get SearxNG and you’ll never need another search engine.

Shit country tbh. You might be able to get a cheap stock android device for your ID and your “actual” device keeps living the good life on a custom rom. Idk how feasible that is for your lifestyle tho.

Yeah, that’s roughly what I thought, in which case switching to graphene (or any other custom rom) would completely “release” you from the proprietary grasp of google and their genius ideas. Because even if they add this 24hr lockdown in the AOSP-Project, graphene could rather easiely revert that change in their fork.

I might have misunderstood that all those years, but custom roms like graphene or lineage all use the AOSP source to build “their” stuff on top. Android itself is all the proprietary shit google adds and probably bunch of proprietary firmware drivers, which isn’t relevant in the slightest if you switch to a supported device.

If your country forces you on a locked down OS for ID requirements, something is wrong entirely. You should absolutely make some noise against that and urge them to allow custom OS. That’s a political issue, not a technical.

I’m pretty sure that custom roms will remove that 24hr wait period from their binaries. Android is still open source and removing a check isn’t going to be very hard for them.

The tech ecosystem is as open as you can. Use linux. Use SearxNG. Use graphene or other custom roms. There’s options out there, you just have to start adopting them instead of just complaining online about having no choice.

Afaik, this is not possible yet. There hasn’t been a way to bypass the security measures yet, unlike with the bug in the tegra chip of the switch, or the exploit for the ps5 (or 4?) that got well known recently. Until such time, what you’re looking to do is borderline impossible.

Makes sense, but I’m not expecting companies to support linux natively. I’m already happy enough if they put effort into a proper proton port and ensure any kind of anti cheat will run with it.
