But Brave has superb AdBlocking capabilities compared to every other browser for iPhone

It is the same on android, it even lets me watch youtube vids without ads and in the background.

They are already doing that, and plenty of commits as well.

The main question now is if it will be further developed once they get the automatic builds up again. The good news is that Yuzu doesn't need much improvement now, just a few days before the lawsuit they did some very needed vram usage fixes so now development only has to focus on getting future titles to launch.

edit: Of course I'm talking about the pc builds, Getting android to work was a nightmare even for the original devs

Early access releases are effectively SOLD, they fucked around with manifest/build files, abused GPL to go after some forks back when they were Citra, attacked other forks/emulators then benefitted from their work and even replicated their practices (like CEMU’s patreon), etc

Source on this?

Also saying that EA was being sold is false, they were shipping precompiled binaries with the EA branches for the patrons, they were actually using the people that paid them for testing lol.

If you used linux there was even an Aur package that built yuzu ea for you, which I quickly stopped using because EA was just the equivalent of the testing repo of archlinux, if you ever read their updates on their main discord, half the time the next EA release just removed a PR that broke something after release.

Progress reports timed suspiciously close to major Nintendo first-party releases

They only made progress reports once a month lol, and iirc the progress report for totk was several weeks after release even.

Its presence on the OFFICIAL Android play store rather than an apk competes with Nintendo’s own Android games (undermining both those and the Switch)

Nothing wrong here, even dolphin has a official apk on the playstore, and yuzu actually even released a non playstore apk for people like me with an ungoogled phone lol.

Extensive telemetry, itself juicy data that could be sold for advertisers, on top of Nintendo’s own built-in telemetry that’s also sent

Bullshit, their logs only contain info about the hardware, which is something you need to debug lol, Ryu logs are the same.

ATTEMPTED to make a competitor to the Switch Online service, using files from an external preservation group, and it would have been a PAID service, and the subscription MORE EXPENSIVE than Nintendo’s actual service (it was $60 something) despite smaller compatibility, for games still online, as a CLOSED-SOURCE FORK of a GPL PROJECT so that players don’t actually set up their own custom servers to avoid paying Yuzu’s pittance. When there was backlash, they REMOVED all traces of online emulation after they couldn’t profit off it.

I also want a source on this.

Hell, he wanted to.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Turns out before this happened there were talking about a silencer that they could not find, and this is what was running in the cops head before the acorn dropped on the roof lol.

Maybe I have to give it another try but this experience was the worst possible advertisement for “gaming on Linux” 😐

I mean there isn't much more that can be done, these days that is usually the issue with gaming in linux, either the game has anti cheat which you cannot fix or the launcher of the application changes and you have to wait for it to get fixed.

The good news is that more studios are starting to release native versions of their linux games, so hopefully in the future this isn't as much of an issue.

By recently you mean this year? The paradox launcher was broken on the steamdeck a year ago, should be working now.

Also iirc that game has a native linux version.

By videos you also mean youtube videos? Because last time I tried firefox it could not do that.

librewolf, but should work on firefox.

Here is mine, it is very keyboard driven so it might not work for you, but you can copy the tab width settings: https://pastebin.com/f5AvQuJu

You can also fix it with a custom userChrome.css, which lets you set the min and max tab width before they begin to scroll.

In other words you can make it so that if one or two tabs are open they take all the space and the more you open they all shrink equally up to a point.

Oh I can tell you that zram will not result in an OOM that zswap would prevent:

I once ran into a bug when using foobar2000 with wine to convert my music library that resulted in an insanely high ram usage, like my 16 GIB ram was filled and then my 32 GIB zram was also filled and the PC froze.

I just went and edited my zram config to make my zram 48GIB and ran foobar again, it ended the conversion without issue kek. No idea wtf happened but whatever data was being written in memory was being compressed good by zRAM, like very few people would even use a swap partition or file that is more than 32 GIB to begin with.

I also tested running Zelda tears of the kingdom in yuzu using 4GiB of ram with a big zram and it worked, that game in yuzu is a ramhog and on windows people need 16 GiB of ram and they still max out their swapfile.

There is also a vid on yt titled zram vs windows pagefile where a user running endevour demostrates how zram can take a bunch of Minecraft mods while windows with the help its of pagefile cant

Edit: Here is the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMYTBsjeoTc

Just open a terminal and type that and paste the result here.

Can you post the output of cat /etc/fstab?
