I haven’t really thought about this before. I have a catchall email that I make up new emails for on the spot, and if it’s something I never expect to need to email them (e.g. newsletters), I’m still using Firefox Relay addresses (@mozmail.com), it’s only $10 a year so I never stopped using it.

Do different apps have different notification sounds? I’m a vibrate only person but I thought a notification sound was a notification sound, not some custom ring tone.

Works with Kagi and Brave too!

NASA and SCUBA are two acronyms that show acronyms clearly don’t have to be pronounced like their source words as a rule.

Several seems like an understatement: https://lemmyapps.com/

I mean, this is a transport lobbying group, of course they oppose it.

I think it’s a nice idea, and they can use the money to support alternative transport options (will they? I guess that depends on the council).

I think I’ve sorted it. I don’t actually know what the problem was, but I noticed I could download the same games from the GOG website and they worked fine. Steam games never stopped working. So must have been an issue with Heroic.

I uninstalled Heroic and deleted the config directory, and the reinstalled it. Now the games all seem to work 🙂

The kids will be very excited.

My kids don’t have kiwisaver accounts, and the reason is simple. There is very little benefit in paying into kiwisaver accounts for them when we could put that same money into a similar investment account under our name and then decide later what we want to do with it (hell, there’s virtually no benefit in paying extra into kiwisaver as an adult once you are paying the minimum to get the few coins Willis found under the couch cushions, you get the same benefits in a PIE fund without it being locked away).

This proposal actually gives incentive for people to contribute to kiwisaver instead of some other investment fund. I think that’s what’s missing in the current approach.

The money is going to go into the KiwiSaver account anyway,

What were you referring to by this? The kick start contribution was ended quite some time ago, were you referring to parent contributions?

They have definitely had third iterations of things, but have they called them 3?

I mean there are at least 5 half-life games, they just called the third one 1 and the fourth 2 and the fifth wasn’t numbered.

I’m starting to wonder if a mailpit instance is a bad idea. Just a page you go to where any email goes, make sure it’s not externally accessible.

We are human, we have done almost this exact thing for thousands of years and leave ecosystem devastation in our wake.

People with rockets would absolutely go down to that planet without a second thought.

I loved the touchpad as joystick in the valve games (portal, halflife). But as soon as you got to other games, for some reason it didn’t work as well.

I still have my steam controller (and it still works), but normally use an xbone controller.

I am keen to try one of these out though, they said 2026 so there’s a good chance it will be delivered this decade.

Thanks, I need it 😅

I haven’t changed anything except swapping the graphics card and following some steps from a pinned topic on the Mint forums to get it working. It certainly says it’s using proton, and in fact I don’t have any wine versions installed.

However, it is suspicious that every game I’ve tried to launch through steam (perhaps 4 of them) has worked fine, yet none of the games I’ve tried through Heroic have worked. It definitely seems like a problem there, but it’s also a problem if I launch a linux native game that was installed through Heroic both from Heroic and just directly from the install directory (which should imply it’s not Heroic related since it doesn’t have the same DRM connection as a Steam game).

I’m going to install Lutris and install a game to see if that helps 🤷. I hope I can work this out, it’s actually the kids that use it and I have a promise to keep 😅

Yeah I saw the link to the youtube version on the peertube video, that’s what stemmed my question, I was wondering if it was theirs.

I’d buy a Fairphone 4 and give this a go but I can’t find one on this side of the world 🙁

2007? Holy hell I thought you were referring to something that happened in the 60s or something.

Oh yes this current one is bad too.

Mate, I can’t get games to launch 🥲. Steam games seem fine but I can’t launch GOG games through Heroic, including launching the game directly. I seem to get a segfault. I’ve updated the firmware, on the 6.14 kernel, drivers are loaded, card is recognised by the system. Games through Steam seem to work which makes it more confusing. Games that worked before no longer work.

Any suggestions?

Is this your video or you just mirrored it to peertube?

I am really keen on trying out a Linux phone, it’s really cool to see this review and understand some of the things I’d be up against.

How do banking apps do in waydroid (assuming it works on GrapheneOS already so it’s not a super fussy one)?

Well something was wrong with mine lol, I installed the 6.14 kernel and it wouldn’t use it. I had to work out how to enable the grub menu so I could manually select it.

Actually now I think about it, it kernel panicked until I removed the xone driver and reinstalled the latest one after changing kernel. Maybe it failed to auto-update because of that.

Yeah I had to update to the 6.14 kernel, Mint is still shipping with I think 6.08.

The card is working well it seems, the Frigate issue seems to be an issue with the ffmpeg version that ships with their docker container. I am sure I’ll get it sorted one day when I can be bothered putting in more effort.
