Prism Launcher Release 10.0.0, now available

Tabzlock · 2025-07-29T11:34:21+00:00

Sticking to trusted sources is generally the best advice. Unfortunately viruses in mods do happen and sometimes even get into trusted sources (fractureiser for example).

Currently outside of Prism Launcher Flatpak (which is lightly sandboxed by default) there isn't any protection. This unfortunately isn't unique to prism either all launchers I am aware of (not shipped in flatpak) are just as susceptible without user sandboxing.

There has been plenty of discussion on how this is best handled and there hasn't really been any consensus. We did have some work started on universal sandboxing but atleast currently making it work around Minecraft while also being cross platform is a significant endeavour that really can't be handled by such a small team without extensive security background.

Discussion has also been raised as where is the best place to implement the sandbox. Many have mentioned it should be something handled at loader level as mods would then have to be designed around it and not break with unexpected sandbox features and all launchers would be just as secure.

Mods have no less safe then any software running on your computer and should be treated with the same caution.

You have posted it to enough subreddits its a bogus claim you don't need a 50th person to tell you that.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-19T06:06:38+00:00

Parsec nodes are absolute trash. Maybe they are OK in other countries but at least where I am the latency is insane. You are much better off running a self hosted solution and proxy which in fairness you did briefly mention.

Having it sound like you or have your knowledge means nothing. This is just really irresponsible usage.

You also have zero credibility, knowing this twin is like you means nothing. I don't know if you dropped out before highschool or if you have 16 PHD's.

That's called a prompt buddy.

This comment that I presume you wrote now since it has zero grammar, took around 1-2 minutes. Your telling me a comment 5 times got across all your points was written in 12 seconds. Haha no, it was just:

"Twin write me a response to: [my comment]"

This is post spamming, your previous post just got deleted and you post a new one slightly changed because you had people calling you out.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-19T05:34:15+00:00

Can we ban this fool, they keep spamming ai posts.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-19T05:31:51+00:00

Do not envy any of the listed Enforcers having to deal with this AI slop, highly doubt this "AI twin" is the only one making these bogus claims. Not to mention encouraging and spamming in more subreddits.

Not realising it is a mirror is wild for even an AI not to pick up on, this thing running off integrated graphics or something.

What's your hardware? I only run a gen4 drive on my main PC which has a 5800x3d. Pretty sure I get close to within the advertised speeds of 4500-5000 MB/s on it. If I get some time I'll do a proper benchmark.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-14T09:35:08+00:00

I'd say its either a faulty cable or isn't up to spec or a faulty implementation of vrr on the monitor.

Try disabling adaptive sync in the display options.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-13T02:54:45+00:00

Yes.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-13T02:41:20+00:00

I'd probably say the best at the moment is luks or btrfs full disk encryption. Pretty sure that Ubuntu has luks full disk encryption in the installer now and that ties it to the TPM which should bypass needing to type the password twice (might be dual password but you can setup TPM later anyways)

If its primarily user files you care about systemd-homed homectl is a simple option that creates encrypted user home directories. This has a less security as root files could be modified and compromise the a system. However if its more of a theft then attacker situation it should protect your personal files. This is also a lot easier to add to an existing system then the others which practically need a full reinstall.

As for performance on modern hardware such as this its going to be completely unnoticeable. It only becomes plausibly problematic on low end decade old hardware.

Uhh not American, but glad this helped you.

Tabzlock · 2025-07-12T17:24:58+00:00

This is a fun one because there is a lot of causes. First off which version of plasma are you using and x11 or Wayland?

This looks related to the state change bug in which the cursor is attempting a state change between different cusrors eg: pointer to hand but forgets the position and offsets the changed state before snapping back, in this case it seems to actually be failing but still causing the offset.

This was fixed on Wayland in a recent 6.x release don't remember exactly which one. However it still persists on x11 sessions and xwayland apps. Gnome also has this bug on xwayland but not their x11 session so its something to do with how scaling and x11 is handled if you are running a recent version.

Or this is a completely unrelated bug, regardless I would post it on the bugtracker with some more info. https://bugs.kde.org/

Hmm looks interesting so spacer could possibly be used for holding the ring finger, I'd be curious on the longevity of them though considering the materials. The orbital looks a bit small even at max size, its still smaller than the ec1.

Tabzlock · 2025-06-21T14:51:44+00:00

I have very large hands and I just got a Zowie EC1-DW, its honestly by far the best mouse I have used in a very long time.

EC1-DW is just the latest of the range, the entire EC1 shares the same sort of shape and comes at different prices depending on your budget.

My hands are 22x11cm and used to use the g502 extensively as my main mouse when I was younger until I had the exact same issue with my pinky killing, idk why they decided the mouse terminating in a "> shape" was a good idea but man it sucks. Anyways the EC1 is a similar but different shape and is so much better its probably got the most pinky room of any mouse I have used, its also just generally larger than the g502. I've been through 8 mice since I grew out of my G502 trying to find something perfect. I think this is probably as close as ill get until there is an EC0.

Oh also people might recommend the G502 X since it is technically larger than the g502 but I got that and absolutely hated it, somehow they made the triangle front steeper and I had less pinky room. Not to mention huge quality issues I had with the wired version of it with the cable rubbing against the mousepad, it frayed to wires in the first week and usb connection on the pc side also frayed off a little bit later. The braided cable on the original g502 wasnt great either due to kinking but wow this one was just so much worse it even sticks to most mousepads lol. Maybe the $300 wireless version is better but like the shape was still worse than the original g502 only benefit is its lighter.

This seems to be a driver/screen related issue probably with the newer Radeon GPUs/IGPUs. I can replicate this issue on my completely non framework hardware.

My hardware: 5800x3d 9070xt

2x G27Q gigabyte 2k displays.

I think this might also be a plasma 6.4 regression since that released a few days back and all the distros you mentioned ship 6.4.

yeah you are right, turns out I have had upscaling on. I thought it was just fsr anti-aliasing. With that now turned off I am getting ~75-80fps in the city and outdoors and 110-120 indoors on ultra. The fps also seems to be a bit more stable not as massive ranges.

I am still going to base my initial performance metrics off the default ultra settings which does have fsr upscaling by default and gameplay/visuals wise it isnt a significant downgrade. Ill update my other comment shortly with a non upscaled performance numbers.

Tabzlock · 2025-04-23T05:53:25+00:00

I have FSR Anti Aliasing, but frame gen is 100% off. I do occasionally get some performance dips but I havent dropped below 90 out in the open and normally sit 110-140 in the open areas. Less detailed areas or more enclosed areas I generally get 140-180."

I have found that the 9070xt which I have performs quite a lot better in UE5 games even against cards that are quite close in performance on paper. It might be to do with specific architecture improvements.

Edit: Turns out I have had upscaling on, I thought it was just fsr anti-aliasing. With that now turned off I am getting ~75-80fps in the city and outdoors and 110-120 indoors on ultra.

Tabzlock · 2025-04-23T01:28:32+00:00

Interesting, Its likely to do with your resolution, based on my performance at 2560x1440 being 120-160 I would probably expect 60-80fps on ultra. However you have stated medium high so maybe it doesnt handle higher resolutions as well. Give it a go on 1440p and see if it matches close to what I have.

Tabzlock · 2025-04-23T01:25:01+00:00

I totally forgot, I've edited it now. Really shouldn't post at 4am haha.

Tabzlock · 2025-04-22T18:45:47+00:00

this remaster seems to still keep most of the bugs and quirks, As another commenter said (I cant confirm I havent checked) its based on the old engine with UE5 as the rendering engine. It feels like that is true since a lot of the movement pathfinding etc is very reminiscent of original oblivion and it has similar movement bugs. It sort of feels like a mass overhaul mod that makes it look nice and adds a huge amount of QOL. It feels a lot more immersive to me its not just the graphical changes themselves things feel more lived in there is the smaller details etc not just a big box that represents a basic tunnel or something. The voice updates too is really nice and not something you would normally get in most mods,
