Just the kernel module, which still interacts with the proprietary driver.

That app just looks like reskinned KDE Connect.

I suspect it's intended to be "ground-up rewrite in a better engine with more content" sort of like Isaac's transition from Flash to its own bespoke C++ engine.

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.

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.

You'll be disappointed if you're looking for "more DOOM 2016"- Eternal is a different beast entirely. Feels much more like a realtime first person puzzle game than a mindless arena shooter. Knowing enemy weak points and what guns do the most damage to that specific enemy + micromanaging ammo, health and armor is a BIG part of Eternal's gameplay loop. It's very good, but it's quite far removed from 2016 in terms of gameplay.

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.

Isn't Endless immutable?

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.
