@pjhenry1216 @MyUnclesSecret Not quite. A gas stove requires gas. I can run it from canisters if I want to. In fact, I know someone who does.

@VoxAdActa AntennaPod. I've been using it for years now. Instantly works and has exactly the features you need. No ads, no bullshit.

@TheYang @steb They want to use an open protocol? That's great.
But then they should be open about their intentions, and not send invitations to a few select individuals to a confidential "off the record" "roundtable". This seems just too fishy to me.

I agree with you, and I appreciate that Facebook at least tries to reach out, but after all that happened I also understand that there is a certain aversion against Facebook.

@Plume Oh yeah and this: Start the game in a neutral area or room where you can test the controls and sound are working properly and ensure the performance is right BEFORE the intro cutscene plays.

@jackpot @interdimensionalmeme Syncthing does not require a server and is much easier to set up from a user perspective.

@Kaldo @sdx Even though #Valve is maintaining #Proton, which is based on #Wine, I think projects like #DXVK and #GalliumNine would not exist or have come this far if it weren't for Valve.

I think Valve's contribution to the #Linux world is very indirect, but cannot be denied.

@alyaza Is it really that hard to dial 🇪🇺 112, 🇺🇸 911, 🇦🇺 000, or whatever the number in your country is?

There may be lots of problems with emergencies all over the world, but dialing the actual number isn't one of them.

@Plume The Witness has no menu and no savegames. When you boot it up, you're instantly exactly where you left off.

This doesn't work for all games, but I wish more games would do it like that.

@Tavirez @somefool Firefox is the browser if you want no-bullshit and customisability. It works, and it works well. And you support the last remaining bastion against Google's reign on the entire Web.

@mvirts @chinstrap

I haven't looked too deep into what's possible with the config files of i3 or awesome. Maybe I should do that first. I just assumed they would be too keyboard focused. I want everything to be visible on screen, so you don't have to remember hotkeys.

@Sentientted @CookieJarObserver The only gripe I have with the Pixel (4a in my case) is that the file system is so locked down, but that's just a modern Android thing. I wish I was able to change the default search engine but eh, can't complain.

I don't have a Pinephone personally, but #postmarketOS has come a long way and supposedly runs very well on recent hardware. Give it another 1-2 years and it will be rock solid for daily use.

@jackpot You add every device to every other device and they connect directly to each other. If direct connection isn't possible (1 out of 10 times) then a relay server is used. The relays are provided by the community for free (I am running one).

Honestly, that's all I want but stripped down so it can run on a system with 256 MB RAM.

@jthecoder @linux@lemmy.ml @linux@lemmy.world @linux@programming.dev @linux@sh.itjust.works

@lemon @webghost0101 You can even achieve that with just #Wine. I carefully set up my Wine on my two devices with #DXVK on one and #GalliumNine on the other. Took a while, to be honest.

But now, together with wine-binfmt and icoutils, I can just double-click any #Windows game. 🍷

@TheBaldness I don't always eat breakfast, but when I'm hungry in the morning I eat a lye roll without anything. They're less calories than a crossiant, and because of the lye they're not as dry as a normal bread roll.

@Evolone I went back to a #WoW 3.3.5a private server I used to play on when I was young and couldn't afford the monthly fee. The community over there is super laid back because everyone knows there will never be new content. I'm really enjoying my time there, despite only having a few hours per week to spare.

So, go back to your roots. Play a game you used to play a lot.

@marx2k @doolittle Last time I used it was locally on a LAN party about 6-7 years ago.

@Nicodemus_Weal I watch a lot of videos and I play a lot of older/ported games, both are best enjoyed in 16:9.

@AnonStoleMyPants @tal And being able to pause a cutscene (That includes putting the system to sleep now!)

@lostwonder Does #libreddit count? Then yes.

@Lojcs You think so? It must do something on the hardware level. If you install something like @postmarketos and let the deivce just sit doing nothing with its screen off, the battery doesn't last nearly as long as with Android. There must be some trickery going on...

@MonkderZweite Well, a window manager is for managing windows, right? So, having it also provide a list of windows to click on is resonable, in my opinion.

I should've added that I'm planning to run it on a Nokia N900 with 600 MHz and 256 MB RAM, both #XFCE and #LXDE are way too heavy for it. Also, most of their menus don't fit on the 800×480 pixel screen.

@CookieJarObserver @Sileem I just want two things, that already rules out the majority of phones in the market:

1. Rectangular screen with 16:9 aspect ratio
2. Headphone jack

I would love to use it more, but there is just nothing on there to watch except for a few channels that just mirror a YouTube channel, or niche FOSS content.

@marx2k For smaller LAN parties I recommend this: https://www.d-lan.net

@Coeus @Lycan I also just noticed that images from federated (non Lemmy) comments are ignored. This is probably also related to the older version.

@Thebazilly @Mister_Bald I agree, 20 hours is fine, 30 hours is max. Unless the game is really good and sandboxy, then I might get trapped in there for hundreds of hours.

@CaptainLemmit Thank you for the suggestion. It says it has In-App purchases, is there a subscription?

Thank you for all the suggestion everyone, I found out that the #OpenSource https://tasks.org app that I already use supports this feature!

@android@lemmy.ml @android@lemmy.world @fdroid @android@a.gup.pe

@mammut @godless Yeah, "DL" as in "downloaded" as opposed to "recorded".

@gaming@beehaw.org @gaming@kbin.social @gaming@lemmy.ml

Update: Most issues were fixed through updates, I guess we just wanted to play in a really unfortunate time.

The locking up problem is related to a DLL mismatch when attempting #Windows / #Linux crossplay. In short: Copy your Windows friends' ucrtbase.dll from both the System32 and the SysWOW64 folders to your Windows folder in #Steam's compatdata folder and you're good to go!

We had a great time playing last night.

@damien @selfhosted@lemmy.world @selfhosted@a.gup.pe @selfhosted@kbin.social To be honest, no, not yet.

@aksdb @neon_arch Oh yes! I used SearXNG and it was quite slow.

@douglasg14b @fwygon I love Kagi. For technical topics, the search quality is unparalleled. For everything else it's about the same.

@ThemboMcBembo @ProvokedGamer That's a good way to think about it.

@SexualPolytope @galaxi It's alright mate, the call it "cold brew"

@hyperio The great thing is, I don't even have to sign up. I just follow this sub (do you still call it a sub?) from my #Mastodon!

Ahh, bless the #Fediverse.

@emi @shipp I think an open standard converted to a walled garden is still better than a garden walled from the beginning.

I can still send emails to GMail accounts.
I can still send SMS to my friend's iPhone.

I wish everything was fully open, but at least I get to chose my email provider or my SMS app. (Although SMS is completely irrelevant in Europe these days, due to providers still charging money per message.)

@PuppyOSAndCoffee Probably nothing for a N900 but I've heard so much of it. I really should give it a try. How does Enlightenment run with older hardware? I'm talking 8-10 years old.

@stappern @Talignoram6571 It's a difficult question. I'm a game developer. We estimate that about 25% of all active copies are pirated.

If all pirated copies would just disappear, would those people go buy the game? I don't think so. They would just stop playing. They don't care about the game enough to spend money, or they really just cannot afford it.

But you could argue that more people are playing the game, and they might buy a sequel in the future.

So, do we loose money? Yes, a little.
