Saw a video on this earlier and it really makes me think we’re absolutely nowhere near an AI being able to generate a full-on or even a partially playable video game in real time any time soon, much to the dismay of the tech/AI bros.

Also, they talk about making old games portable as though you can’t just boot up a game like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on an emulator like PCSX2 or Dolphin on a device like a Steam Deck anything similar, all without needing powerful enough systems to run a whole extremely in depth simulation of our universe.

Considering every single other attempt to get Bytedance to sell it has failed, I’m sure this one will definitely work. /s

Damn this is something I need to look into.

Only other alternatives I know are either Safari if you’re on an apple device or something like Links/Links2/Lynx if you don’t mind text based browsers. Neither are convenient for their own reasons, but it’s not like we have any other choices. At least not that I’m aware of.

That’s me right now. Just recently sent an issue report to Proton over the fact I have not been able to connect to their servers on my Linux running laptop for almost a week at this point and have given up on trying to self-disgnose and fix it on my own using what little skills I have and whatever information I could find through web searches. The worst part is how it effortlessly works perfectly on my desktop running windows 10.

I’ll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!

Looks like the number of bots has increased. No same person would ever create an account on there, not since at least the 2010s.

Definitely checking this out. The first screenshot I see and it, to me, looks better than Manuskript. Definitely gonna try it on my laptop so I can get the appimage.

Yo, I think someone needs to drop that background if possible. Looks great.

Media files are proprietary and it’s under the zlib license if that disqualifies anything, but for a somewhat decent experience, there is H-Craft Championship. Not the greatest of games considering it’s a game that originally released in 2007 as a commercial game available for Linux (don’t know about other platforms outside of the 2015 open source(?) release) by some seemingly random independent studio (Irrgheist), but fun enough I guess.

According to someone else who replied to my comment, it seems it’s some sort of metadata issue rather than an actual rebrand. I’m just an idiot who doesn’t actually look deep enough into this kinda stuff.

Oh… Well, too late for me. Ended up uninstalling it and replacing it with thunderbird because I thought they were rebranding it to thunderbird beta.

Not gonna lie, I was super confused why F-Droid was updating thunderbird beta on my device when I was updating apps a few days ago. Took me a while to realize k9 was apparently changed to thunderbird beta.

Aaaaand your ISP has already begun forcibly speeding up your service to make it look better in 3… 2… 1…

No doubt the second they figure this out a large amount of the scummy ISPs around the world are gonna start reverse speed throttling, per usual, to make themselves look better.

Would OSOS be a recursive name like AROS (Amiga Research Operating System, changed to AROS Research Operating System)?

Because they’ll probably just ban you for spam then revert all changes via backups I assume they most certainly have.

That, or probably end up IP banning you for editing 2 comments because fuck you.

Similar way is how I ended up finding out about Mindustry. Found it on F-Droid and liked it enough to buy it on Steam when I found out it’s available there. Definitely a good idea if done right.

The way I thought of that, as someone with a special brain (autism) is that rather than just knowing things like experience and what they use/like/dislike/etcetera, it’s also good to know a breakdown of what groups of people are using Linux/answered the survey. At least there was an “I’d rather not say” kind of option in case you don’t wanna give up that information.

So far I haven’t had any major issues whatsoever with MX running KDE, other than Vbox being the absolute worst to attempt to get working (which I still can’t). Otherwise, works fine enough for what I need.

I don’t use it much since I’ve already got it active on the apps I wanted it for, but on Samsung’s Galaxy Store there is an app I’ve never found an alternative to anywhere from my limited searching: Sound Assistant.

On desktop/laptop, turning off individual app/program sounds is super easy, but this is literally the only app I’ve ever seen that allows you to turn off the sound for individual apps on android. Don’t know if other versions of android from other brands or android 14 has that feature natively, but it’s a feature I wish was native to all versions of android regardless of which large brand has made their own alterations to android.

A minor problem, though, as I assume most people probably don’t give a rats ass about this.
