Yeah, Gateron Silent Reds are basically "off brand" Cherry MX reds, with same specs. I've read that they are supposed to be a bit smoother, and definitely can confirm that, they definitely feel very smooth without any additional lubing

Nice build as well - Keychron Kit, right?

And yeah, the flukes started when I got faster. I think I also misplaced the foam between the PCB and mount slightly. Had a few spares due to the 75% though.

I don't think that the current tools will be using it internally, since this would require the tools actually supporting the CLI launcher, and in the best case we would have something like the proton config in steam in every tool separately again.

I think that you will need to have your launcher installed, but you will have this new launcher as your entry point, from which you will start your games using proton from the linked project.

But - it's a PoC right now, maybe both ways will be possible.

From a wishful perspective, it would be super neat if this new launcher would hook into the installed regular tools, and automagically make those use the preconfigured proton runtime it brings. Shouldn't this be possible using LD_PRELOAD?

Right now it's a PoC (proof of concept, a rough implementation of an idea), to emulate launching games from other stores as if they were launched from steam using proton.

What this could be used for is to create a new Linux launcher, where you setup proton once, and launch all games using this launcher.

This simplifies usage for you as the end user, since you would only need to install the launcher, and it sets up ProtonGE, and you're done. It also enables simple Proton usage for other games (Epic, Lutris, whatever).

Additionally it helps unifying development. Windows games under Linux have a lot of moving parts: there's Proton as a compatibility layer. There's integration between steam, proton and your system (sniper/vessel). There's protonfixes which is game specific changes in proton. Each of which itself consists of components and stuff I've missed. In short, it's complicated. Unifying all this components with one tool, with one battle tested installation and compatibility and with a single source of truth in development could be another big step in Linux gaming.

TLDR - potentially a new launcher for games under the Linux, enabling any game to be played using proton, when supported, not only steam games.

According to the lemmy devs, deleting your account also overwrites and purges your comments and posts. This deletion is being federated - but other servers may choose to ignore it, be buggy, down or whatever, and therefore not fully deleting your content there.

Since lemmy is decentralized, that's as close to a full deletion as you'll get, and to quote your rationale, that'll be the only bridge you'll be able to burn.

Side note: Why are several of you so aggressive on a simple question? If they want to leave the platform and delete their content, why shouldn't they, especially since that is absolutely non-trivial on a decentralized platform?

Yeah, if globaltimes.cn says so. Managed by the CCPs renmin ribao, and the CCP obviously famous for both respecting human rights and being absolutely trustworthy when it comes to how great China is. But wait, there's more, "Islamic figures" from UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt also claim so, also highly famous for their respect for human rights, and they're Muslims too, so they must be right, since every Muslim is the same, and they all love and respect each other, never have there been any conflicts between specific Muslim groups. Right?

What a fucking unhinged paragraph calling someone out when you're taking a fucking CCP propaganda page as your source, of all things.

Neat, thank you for the hint - only recently got a ccwgtv, and I'm still not used to the fact that you're able to install apps like this 😂

Same for me on Chromecast, it's pretty much unwatchable overnight, started probably about a week ago. I'm to lazy to set up adblocking for my full network, and I was fine watching the skippable 15s ads, and the occasional longer ones, but currently I mostly get at least a full minute of ads on my TV.

Before you talked about the Fediverse as a whole, now from a single user perspective.

IMO it affects the Fediverse as a whole by abusing it. The whole idea is an open network, where instances can federate with each other to bilaterally share information and create a seemingly single platform. This is not the case with the planned Threads integration, because they explicitly plan to feed on the content, but hiding sharing their own content behind an (for most of their userbase) obscure opt-in.

From a single user perspective it doesn't affect you directly. But it affects the platform you are part of with malicious intent.

I am not against Threads joining the Fediverse, and I do actually think it would be great for the growth of the Fediverse if actual big players join, and if it brings content that I personally do not like to see, I can use the tools available (e.g. blocking user/communities/instances) to hide it. But only if they plan on joining as a "regular instance" like any other - but Meta does not intent doing so, since they have chosen the opt-in with obvious intent of simply gaining additional content on their walled platform for their own gain.
