Hello, tone-policing genocide-defender and/or carnist 👋
Instead of being mad about words, maybe you should think about why the words bother you more than the injustice they describe.
Have a day!
I’d be happy if they did and adopted Heroic as an official launcher. However, if that happens, I’d still want proper controller support to be added so that browsing the GOG store in Heroic doesn’t require mouse and keyboard bindings on something like a Steam Deck.
Because I use a Steam Deck and having a launcher for third-party stores is the easiest way to install games.
Additionally, the reasons mentioned in the other comments.
Anything but properly supporting the Linux community 🤡
How have they still not learned that the largest intersection of the people that care about their core value proposition (game preservation, DRM-free, etc.) are Linux users?? It’s not like they have to create the compatibility layers from scratch; Valve did it for them.
If they provided a launcher for Linux users, I’d actually buy shit from them. Yes, Heroic Launcher exists, but I’m not paying GOG for the work that the Heroic dev did. I want first-party support.
I don’t disagree with any of this. We just also need to be realistic about the fact that viruses have no boundaries and they don’t discern between marginalized people and fascist shitheads when they mutate and spread.
That isn’t how this works. Herd immunity is extremely important for people who actually can’t safely be vaccinated, but more importantly, having large populations of anti-vaxxers will create ample opportunity for the viruses to mutate into forms that we don’t necessarily have vaccines for.
We are all truly fucked unless we deal with these scum. It’s not just going to hurt the people causing the problem, and it will spread to the rest of the world.
You can just write bash scripts in your actions if you want them to be easily replicatable on your local machine, so you don’t really lose anything with that system.
Can someone explain why, and what to use them for?
The well deserved Snap complaints 😏
I’m a (mediocre) Rust dev, and I use GPL licenses for my projects. There’s nothing preventing you from doing so. I think the answer to your question is that it’s largely cultural.
Running x86_64 emulation on an ARM CPU is a miserable experience and should be avoided. I’ve done this on an M-series Mac with UTM, and you’re looking at ~10-minute boot times just to get the VM booted, and ~3 minutes for it to render a response to whatever you click.
It’s honestly wild that they seriously suggest doing this on their Wiki.
HelixWiki when 😭
Ah, the joy of animal exploitation making new zoonotic transmissions possible that make life worse for everyone. If only we could predict this sort of thing based on how it keeps happening. Oh well…
This is the way. The uBlue derivatives benefit from the most shared knowledge and problem-solving skills being delivered directly to users.
Between that, and using a decorative distrobox config, I get an actually reliable system with packages from any distro I want.
Oh, that’s brilliant!
By the time you’re reading this, we will have enabled microphone support on most laptops!
Awesome!
Has anyone ever explained the meaning behind the Asahi logo? It always reminded me of a cartoon anvil (in a good way).
Hey. I saw you throating the boots of the exploitative owning class in a bunch of your comments. Do you have any good takes about anything? Like, even on a totally different topic?
It took me a while to get around to this so I could sanitize some of the highly-personal stuff there (mostly just a bunch of URLs because I don’t use browser bookmarks lol), but here’s a condensed version of what I like to use Espanso for.
The second half is …interesting. I wanted a way to autofill passwords from my password manager in any application, not just a browser. It’s a very homebrewed solution, and it only works on Windows and Linux because macOS blocks tools like Espanso from viewing or modifying login input fields.
Did you put in a request for this?
For a Wayland Flatpak or RPM? I haven’t looked in a long time, but I believe there’s an open issue for a Wayland RPM.
Edit: Found them: Flatpak issue and RPM issue.
Being able to sync between devices is a huge benefit. I switched from Aegis to Ente Auth for that reason.
It’s all e2e encrypted, and you can protect your Ente account with a hardware key, so there’s basically no downside.
