Putting bombs in widely distributed electronics makes you a terrorist as does launching rockets at civilians. Whatever their goals it is their actions that define them.

Removed by mod

That’s been my impression as well. Other countries recovering from a conflict seem to have a lot of people still looking for others to blame for their problems but Iraqis seem more interested in just trying to make things a little better each day. I think if they can hold on to that hope their future will be bright.

Games got a lot more complicated and many use so many 3rd party add-ins that just sorting through what you have rights to release can be a pretty big task and not worth it if what you can release ends up unusable with all of them removed.

They got alien technology to make the rainbow tables with.

Yeah I like FPS games sometimes but I find them really hard to watch especially if the streamer is twitchy on the mouse and/or the bitrate isn’t really high.

I ended up writing a perl script to generate a .m3u from a root music directory that shuffles all the subdirs so I can listen to full albums in random order instead of just tracks.

yeah the headline is pretty bad clickbait but the interview (@11mins) was amusing and pretty high praise for the deck.

If you just adjust your justice you might just make it just.

Which is why it’s so awesome that most of Steam Deck is actually fairly open, or at least as open as running steam on desktop Linux anyway.

Not FOSS but free2play and native with vulkan:

Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It’s a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you’ll run into the game’s only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You’ll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.

It’s just a source release, not even a Linux port done yet. It should be possible to build it for DOS and run it in dosbox but I don’t know the tools required for that.

I find tildes.net fills the role of in-depth discussions pretty well, they don’t tolerate memes and other fluff which I do still find entertaining but lemmy has plenty of that. Only thing neither do very well is lots of content for niche hobbies or topics that just require a lot more users to work well.

Yeah that makes sense for how it works now, but I imagine if they plan to monetize installs they’d also make the telemetry required for all game functionality. That assumes they actually cared about the data and didn’t plan to just make it all up and charge whatever they want.

Wouldn’t unity just block the games from running if they don’t connect? I guess you could crack the games, then maybe we’ll have some weird future where devs encourage players to crack their games…

Some of the best family friendly co-op games I’ve played:
Stardew Valley
Valheim
Don’t Starve Together

Looks like there is a bug that makes this game unstable on some kernels (like in default Ubuntu):

Yeah the bar link works fine. I’m no fan of Blizzard these days but this doesn’t really sound like anything intentional, they probably just screwed up their mobile browser detection.
