When is this coming to SteamOS/Proton non beta?

I love the feature on iPhone and wanted it to be on SteamOS so bad! Didn’t think someone would actually do it, this is great!

NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca
[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

Using separate providers for cloud storage, passwords, email and VPN is way less convenient and more expensive than having it all under Proton. It’s not perfect but it’s miles ahead of what most people use.

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 :)

Won’t happen. You can always make a smartphone dumber, but you can’t make a dumb phone smarter. Also good smartphone cameras require decent SOCs

Any decent privacy-friendly Duolingo alternatives? (lemmy.ml)
 

I really like Duolingo’s approach to language learning (even though I know it’s not actually that effective) but considering the privacy nightmare that Duolingo is, plus the continuous enshittificafion of the app, I’d love to use a more privacy friendly and less ad ridden alternative.

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Is there still any hope for privacy phones? 2025 and beyond (lemmy.ml)
 

Google has been trying to make Android proprietary for a few years now, and that's not news, as many AOSP default apps have been abandoned over time in favor of proprietary Google ones. This was never a huge problem for me, as you can still use those apps without network access or use open source alternatives like Fossify on a custom ROM.

However, the situation is quickly getting worse, now that Google is actively trying to prevent the development of custom ROMs and taking a page from Apple's book by forcing developers to beg them for permission to release apps on the Android platform, even outside of the Play Store - giving Google full control.

Is there still any hope left for privacy respecting Android ROMs? What do you think will happen next? And what would be your suggestions for those looking for a phone in 2025?

If you have a different perspective on the situation, also please comment below!
