I used to think DLSS was a cool technology that allowed older GPUs to run demanding games at high resolutions, I myself had good experiences with it, but this? DLSS 5 is literally an AI slop filter for video games - not an upscaler anymore, just an enshittification filter. So disappointing. I’d rather play at 720p than use this shit

Right? You could put some neatly cut and packaged human remains on that display and no one would tell the difference. Def not my “happy place”

If a mod marketplace works for some games, that’s cool, but I think CDPR has the right to not approve of that model when it comes to their IP. An open source model benefits everyone and can also be viable for mod developers :)

Sooo, the solution is install an extension by Kagi that can read all your traffic? Still doesn’t seem all that private to me

Past few months? I’ve tried several instances since over a year ago and absolutely never did I get decent results, unfortunately. They always get rate limited by Google and/or some other error occurs.

what?

I personally prefer the Mullvad client since, at least on MacOS, it allows you to exclude specific apps from the VPN, while the ProtonVPN client does not! I still use ProtonVPN instead though, since it’s also significantly cheaper for me.

San Francisco from Watch Dogs 2 was great

Sure

It’s only worth it if you want to support Mozilla imo. If you don’t care about Mozilla, get Mullvad instead

Revolut is a data mining company that demands you use Google’s services or an iPhone to use.

It’s sad that this gets downvoted to hell. As a MacOS user who appreciates beautiful UI, this is a major pain point for me on Linux. And yes, Windows is the absolute worst at this.

Not relevant to this thread. However, I didn’t know what a cyberdeck was and there are indeed some very cool-looking ones. :)

Fight Graphite with Graphene!

I was in a very similar situation when shopping for my current laptop so here are my thoughts: I set out looking for a lightweight and relatively powerful 13" Linux laptop and ended up with an M4 MacBook Air. Despite what a lot of people wanna say, the MacBook Air is one of the best deals you can get for an ultrabook, especially on these newer generations, as others I’ve looked at struggle to compete in performance per watt while at the same price point and with lower build quality. Seems to me that with the requirements you’ve listed, you will have to compromise on a few things if you want the advantages of running Linux.

The FW13, best fit I can think of, is a wonderful machine, you will probably have a good time with it, but it certainly does not have as good of a build quality, battery life nor UX refinement as a MacBook. The difference isn’t massive but it is there. These are common compromises when you buy into more ethical tech.

You won’t even have to think anymore, let AI think for you!, you’ll be thoughtless and content
