If you were able to install Bazzite then installing graphene shouldn’t be any harder than that. It has a web-based installer that was pretty easy to use as long as you follow the instructions.
The pixel 8 will be supported through the end of 2030 (graphene support follows the same timeline as Google because of firmware-level updates that are still needed from them) so you could still get a lot of use out of it.
Not just designed, lawnchair is a fork of the AOSP launcher which is why they look so similar. It’s also partially why they have a comparatively slow development cycle, because they spend a lot of effort rebasing whenever AOSP’s launcher has significant changes.
Lawnchair doesn’t have a paid version, it’s open source
It’s a kernel compile parameter but most Linux distros have it turned off by default 😔
The only time I’ve ever seen it turned on was on my raspberry pi
They can also use live location data in an emergency situation,also using a court ordered subpoena.
What qualifies as an “emergency situation”? I imagine that definition could be stretched pretty thinly
If you want to be technical about it, there could (and probably are given OnePlus’s security history) still be unpatched firmware bugs that will never get patched because OnePlus and Qualcomm have stopped supporting their CPUs which are that old.
Not saying anyone should turn their working phones into e-waste, only that you probably shouldn’t treat it like it’s perfectly secure either just because it’s flashed with the newest Android. Be careful with any super sensitive logins like bank accounts and government sites.
I’m in the northeast and most (if not all? I don’t feel like checking every single state along the northeast coast) of them have laws saying that tap water must be free if it’s offered. The only gotcha there is that restaurants don’t technically have to offer tap water, but that exclusion is probably only there because of water contamination issues. That being said, I’ve also never seen a restaurant not offer tap water even in places where I definitely wouldn’t want to drink it. It’s like this in all of the tristate area. The bigger cities like NYC additionally usually have stricter laws closer to what California has.
It’s like restaurants in the US giving away free tap water when you sit down to eat.
This is a bad example because in many states they’re required to offer free tap water by law.
I used hyprland on my laptop for about a year and the thing that bothered me the most (aside from the toxic community) was how often I had to rewrite chunks of it after every major update. I’m definitely glad that the niri devs are treating its config stability more seriously.
I don’t love the way niri handles workspaces across multiple monitors so far but my problems with it are also minor enough that I’m pretty sure I can fix it myself with a script or IPC program if it really starts to bother me
I hate to break it to you but Mario Odyssey is 8 years old and RDR2 is 7 years old. Those definitely don’t qualify as “now” games on a timeline. Elden Ring gets a pass because of the DLC but it’s also 4 years old.
That being said, there are plenty of good games that came out this year. Most of them aren’t AAA though.
I couldn’t have picked better timing to switch to niri if I tried.
VR is a niche market with fundamental accessibility flaws (motion sickness, spatial requirements, etc.). As for the controller, what discussion is needed? The steam deck already exists and from that it’s pretty easy to get a decent idea of what the controller will cost and feel like. It’ll probably end up being a solid controller for people that want it, but uncomfortable for people with smaller hands.
That isn’t to say that the steam frame/controller won’t impressive pieces of technology, but should be pretty easy to see why discussions would mostly be around the steam machine and specifically its pricing. Its success (or failure) will likely be what carries the reputation of both the steam frame and the steam controller alongside it.
If you want to be technical about it, you pretty much just described any modern video game console. The OS is the only thing actually differentiating modern consoles from PCs (or tablets in Nintendo’s case).
I misread it, seems like it’s just the Omarchy theming system it has integration with. My point mostly still stands though, going out of the way to support Omarchy’s system is still a red flag.
For those unfamiliar, the creator of omarchy is a pretty open white supremacist and transphobe among many other things. This blog post does a pretty good job of outlining everything:

I think I’ll pass…
Really begs the question of what language even means
Then it really is authentic Boston Pizza!
(No seriously I found maybe 3 good pizza places while I lived in Boston and I’m pretty sure 2 of them technically weren’t even in Boston. The pizza there is mid at best)
It can be hit or miss, really depends on the bank. I’m in the US and mine worked fine after I enabled a compatibility setting in the app list, but that’s kind of anecdotal. I think there is a community compatibility list somewhere of banking apps that work/don’t work on GrapheneOS.
