No, just the FSR2 demo application, which suffered from poor performance regardless of whether or not FSR2 is on.

For what it's worth, that bit about Patreon isn't true. There were fixed builds before release, but they were third party ones unaffiliated with the Yuzu devs.

There's already a similar project for Minecraft- https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

That's a user from Mastodon. Lemmy is part of the fediverse so any ActivityPub capable server can see Lemmy posts (it just might be formatted a bit differently). From their end they're replying to a toot.

Yuzu did no such thing. There were third party fixes but Yuzu didn't implement anything until the game released.

Look into MakeMKV. It's "free" while in beta (in practice you need to input a new license key from their forums occasionally, so inconvenient unless you buy a real license) and can rip Blu-Rays with no issue. For ripping 4K, though, you'll need a drive that supports LibreDrive which bypasses all of the drive's built-in DRM. I personally use an LG BU40N in a Vantec external enclosure.

Not particularly, the workflow on your Arch system will be the same as any other distro, that's the nice thing about Distrobox.

I would highly recommend looking into the distrobox-assemble command, though: it lets you declaratively build distroboxes with the packages and config you need on them. I have a personal box which operates as my primary terminal that's automatically destroyed and recreated on every boot. This way, the packages I always use in a terminal are available, and I can add something I need temporarily with no issue without worrying about forgetting about that package being there down the line and causing some weird update failure or general bloat.

That's because of a difference on protocol (iMessage vs SMS). This wouldn't matter if they chose to support RCS which is effectively the Android iMessage equivalent and is an open standard (on paper, not necessarily in practice) but that will never happen.

I think there's still value in it from being a DE-agnostic GUI solution, for what it's worth.

I can agree with this, my Darter has horrendous battery life and had a ton of bugs that made the thing really annoying to use until a recent BIOS update. I can't help but feel like I got burned.

Next laptop is a Framework for sure.

Are we sure this isn't just for clarity? "Language model" implies Bard and such already as they're more formally called "large language models." While I don't like that they're doing it, I think it's very likely they've been publicly scraping information for quite some time (in fact, for an LLM like Bard, they pretty much have to!), and have just changed the wording to fully disambiguate between Google Translate and Bard.

It's honestly gotten to a point where I don't even check ProtonDB anymore unless it's a brand new game. Generally things just work.
