Simple: it has nothing to do with DRM (unless the DRM is actively making the experience worse, which Denuvo is known to do) and everything to do with creating a good, unique and enjoyable game that doesn’t feel like a live-service-for-no-reason, microtransaction-riddled, bug-infested, alpha-quality-software-presented-as-release, cash grab, which is what most triple A studios seem to focus on creating these days.

We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name because we don’t think it does the project justice.

This is the best project naming decision you could make in the FOSS space.

“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word luonti (“creation”) and the programming language Minetest Luanti employs for games and mods, Lua.

And this is among the worst. I mean the programming language part. Even Rust projects strive to avoid this sort of naming, so focus on your project’s purpose and identity, cuz nobody that doesn’t actively do development cares, especially users. Roblox is a platform that involves playing and creating games, also uses Lua as its language of choice but you know what’s actively missing from it’s title? The name of the Lua language!

TLDR: They avoided putting the FOSS-ness in the name but put the programming language. To-may-to, to-mah-to. They avoid one naming fallacy only to embrace another.

I downloaded 2 seasons of 1 tv show and 3 seasons of another in the last month, but I used direct download.

So, no. I wouldn’t.

remembers the repacks from 3 weeks ago

Nevermind.

I have one of these on a billboard near my house. Every time I feel sad, I just look up to it as I’m passing by and it gives me a chuckle. I think they actually updated it recently. These posters are in the UK for anyone wondering. And this one in particular is in the London Underground.

Similar story, though I was intending to send something kinda inappropriate to someone. I almost sent it to my mum because common contacts pop up when doing a share, so I pressed my mum, but then while moving my finger down I realised my mistake, and just did the best save I could. My finger remained pressed down on screen, essentially holding down the “share with mum” button, while I came up with the solution to hold down the power button until the phone restarted. Halfway through the bootup process, I realised I probably could have just pressed the power button so my phone would go to sleep instead and that would have fixed the issue.

I actually forgot the /s. And I guess I wasn’t clear enough. This is less than a drop in the pool for them. An image build that takes them around 15 mins including setting up the VM for the build, takes me around the same time on a machine with a 6-core Ryzen 5 at 2.375GHz, with 8GB RAM. So because they’re running it on their high end hardware and it still takes that long, they aren’t allocating that many resources to the VM, meaning that it costs them basically nothing.

TLDR: If any of this was a cost that had any significance to their bottom line, it would have been restricted and/or monetised.

Nvidia is Sauron confirmed.

I’m actually continuously running github actions that I don’t need running, just because I can, and because it uses up their resources.

That’s something I really like about Ublue: they use Github actions, so if you build a custom image, you’re using Github’s processing power for it. So, go do that. Make hundreds. Bleed Microsoft dry.

Yeah, there was a period in time where people were discussing Helium-3 as a source of fuel that we could very easily and efficiently farm on the moon, which was seen as a key step in becoming a space-faring species. Okay, so we know where the fuel is and we can get there, so companies can start using Earth fuel to send helium-3 extraction machines, which can then be used to collect fuel for them to use in further missions and eventually, a small amount of helium-3 will be used to fuel a mission that returns with massive amounts of it, so we have a fuel, and now we can start exploring space even further, with people. It was the clear direction to take.

I was thinking the same thing! But it would be running from a Debian VM so I’m not sure how realistic that is. And I doubt it would have access to android apps.

If AI is just autocorrect on steroids (it is), I wonder if actual good old autocorrect will see any improvements

I’m a simple man. I see Tabliss, I like.

Safe to say I don’t have a career as an artist, unless it’s abstract art. Still, I was going for more of a penguin-like body intentionally. I didn’t fail at the task, I just found an approach that requires a skill I haven’t trained yet.

It was just about time for this to be made public. It was like an open secret for everyone in the know.

You can also add the fact that Apple blocks all ads and trackers… except their own.

They have to kill it. Otherwise, some “cheapskate” might decide they don’t need to pay for MS Word, or get spied on by having all their data in the cloud using MS Office Online.

Or they just think there’s no reason to keep it around.

Tech Self sufficiency? On the hardware level, it will take a while. In the software level, I don’t think it will ever happen. Yes, the desktop and software suite they use, and the distro they’re packaged in are Chinese, But…

the Linux Kernel, the GNU stuff, the systemd stuff, the Freedesktop specifications, Xorg if they still use it, wayland protocols and wlroots, are all developed by people from The West, so if they really want independence, I want to see them replicating all that work from millions of people across the last 30-40 years.

I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so… bed?

Maybe not related but I had an issie with wireplumber where it would suddenly take up any free CPU resources and use them up, jacking up my cpu usage up to crazy high numbers, often to 100% at times where the expected cpu usage would be at 20% at most.

I haven’t experienced this in the last week or so, so maybe it was fixed in an update? I’m on Fedora, btw. I just wanted to share, so I can find out if anyone else had the same issue.

I need to send an email to Mozilla soon. The fact that I’m highly convinced that these three Linux youtubers would do a better job than the current management should tell you a lot about what’s happening at Mozilla (yes, it’s that bad).
