<p>Seeing a few news sites in the last day report things like “NVIDIA DLSS 3 added to SteamOS backend”</p><p>It’s pure clickbait. It was a Proton Experimental update a week ago. Proton is used on Desktop Linux too.</p><p><a href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/11/proton-experimental-adds-dlss-3-frame-generation-support-plus-fixes-for-dragon-age-the-veilguard-rivals-of-aether-ii-and-more/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gamingonlinux.com/2024/11/prot</span><span class="invisible">on-experimental-adds-dlss-3-frame-generation-support-plus-fixes-for-dragon-age-the-veilguard-rivals-of-aether-ii-and-more/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NVIDIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NVIDIA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a></p>

<p>(i know it&#39;s premature to consider this but it makes me uneasy)</p>

<p>so like... since chrome and android are more or less loss leaders for search, does this mean android can potentially end up fucked</p><p>idk what i dislike more: monopoly on search, or having to use vendors&#39; proprietary mobile OSes *again*</p>

It’s well done, obviously very true, and it goes well with my current read which is “Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman from 1986. All the things he said about TV and the everything-is-entertainment shift is amplified today by social media. Terrifying.</p>
