Old vs. new hardware is difficult. New hardware can also do the same with lower energy consumption.

It’s impossible to calculate, but the tipping point would be where the saved energy surpasses the energy needed for producing and transporting the hardware.

I’m quite sure that my raspi4 is more powerful, smaller, less noisy and requires less energy than my oldest computer.

The thing is just that they rarely only improve the efficiency.

I don’t have any issues on my desktop either, they both work there fine

You generally need to get software and hardware that is compatible with your operating system and processor architecture. It’s true that the most used platforms will have the best support, but you have that problem with any OS.

And it’s also not like games with anti cheat generally don’t work with Linux. Proton+Steam does support Valve Anti-Cheat, Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye. It’s just that developers have to explicitly enable Linux support for EAC and BattlEye.

Well, finding and reading this file definitely takes some effort, but an attacker can get your passwords that way as long as kwallet is unlocked.

They just need to run kwallet-query -r KeepassXC kdewallet to get the password and then download ~/passwords.kdbx

I didn’t notice any apps yet and I definitely don’t use any kind of ad blocking.

So … it’s similar to what g-droid does as an app?

Note: search only appears and works if datatables.net doesn’t get blocked

Apps have unique IDs like com.liftoffapp.liftoff and f-droid/play store don’t know who installed an app. They just show you all installed apps that are in their repos and look for updates for them. If they wouldn’t handle it like that, you wouldn’t get any updates if you installed an .apk manually. If an .apk gets installed and there is already an app with that ID, it replaces it and that’s how updates work. So if they both do an update, the first update will replace the old version and the second update will replace the first.

In the past apps from play store and from official f-droid repo wouldn’t replace each other without further user confirmation and deletion of user data. I don’t know if it’s still handled like that. F-Droid builds and signs packages on it’s own, which results in a signature key mismatch. It’s different for repos like IzzyOnDroid which just distribute official builds and therefore are signed with the same key. Though IzzyOnDroid has a key mismatch with F-Droid.

Usually a different key means that somebody modified the app and you don’t want an malicious app to be blindly installed or have access to the app’s user data. But F-Droid have no other choice when they build the packages themselves.

Yes, some of the bigger communities there are !pcgaming@lemmy.ca, !til@lemmy.ca, !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca, !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca, !bicycles@lemmy.ca, !trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca, !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@lemmy.ca, !plex@lemmy.ca and !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca. And none of these are Canada-specific. I guess I have to follow !fediverselore@lemmy.ca now 😀

Canadians are Americans too.

No … my alts always have different names. But they are for things I don’t want others to know.

Doesn’t blahaj.zone itself throw errors all the time?

I subscribed 10 on lemmy.ml and 8 on lemmy.world.

lemmy.world is definitely the biggest instance with it’s 126k users, but lemmy.ml with 46k, lemmynsfw with 35k, hexbear with 24k and sh.itjust.works with 22k aren’t small either

Yes, lemmy.world is the biggest, but the next four biggest instances combined have just as many users.
