It happened on and off the past two weeks or so but was considered not a bug in an earlier report I saw. I also encountered it a few times, but since about 24 hours ago I have had no luck playing anything.

Likely changes or countermeasures on G’s side, or part of the embedded as changes that is being talked about, is my guess.

It really depends on your use case. Most of my simple chat messages are the same as I would have in any public space. I have no need for encryption, I have need for convenience in that regard. With Telegram I have my chat history on all devices and don’t need to use my phone to connect which are two must-haves for me. For my use case, Signal is the worse option. That doesn’t make Signal bad, just not suitable for me.

As a privacy-concious person I am very much aware of the non-secure nature of my chats, but since that is not a factor of consideration to me when it comes to casual chats with a few friends and family members. The worst thing Telegram could do is analyse my chats and … then what?

Very interesting blog post, thank you. Quite different from the “This week in KDE”, but a nice addition for software developers and tech-savy readers. I’ll keep an eye on this blog 🙂.

I’ve had a 7000-series card since December and haven’t experienced any driver issues. Using KDE with Wayland and two monitors. My only complaint is the power use when I go over 60Hz, but maybe it has to do with one of my monitors. This is what I see happening:

• Both at 60Hz: 25W
• Using only display A at 120Hz: 25W
• Using only display B at 120Hz: 90W
• Both at 120Hz: 90W

I was hoping some driver update would fix this but by now I’ve given up. As for gaming experience, I have zero complaints. Big titles I played were Cyberpunk 2077, Remnant 2 and Elden Ring and they performed great.

Welcome 🙂. I always loved bleeding edge so Arch really suits me well. There’s probably a distro out there for everyone and you seemingly have found yours!

And very easy to set up and run without docker! For, you know, us folks with a BSD server 🙂

Unfortunately, you are wrong.
