People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn’t work in Linux. I don’t know how exactly they’d do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can’t replicate.

Hasn’t Debian relaxed its stance and now allows you to fairly easily use nonfree software?

I actually don’t know! It was a meme a while ago, but they might have fixed it by now.

Apple devices make sense - how else are you going to deal with the overheating problems?

There’s a package called molly-guard which will check to see if you are connected via ssh when you try to shut it down. If you are, it will ask you for the hostname of the system to make sure you’re shutting down the right one.

Very usefull program to just throw onto servers.

Tbh I’m kind of worried seeing a software group get into hardware. There are a lot of hidden costs and production issues which provide difficult challenges. I hope they succeed, but I worry this will just flop and cost them a lot of money.

One thing I’ve noticed with Rust is that if you find yourself fighting with the borrow checker, that’s a sign that your codebase isn’t well structured.

So I’m curious; what problem have you been trying to solve where the borrow checker has been this much of an obstacle? There might be a cleaner design for it.

Isn’t that just OpenGL/Vulcan and Linux?

I don’t wanna wait that long. ;_;

NetCat. /s

Seriously though, I just use Firefox. LibreWolf is basically Firefox with stricter defaults, and over the years I’ve already tweaked Firefox to use all the privacy features anyway.

I know there’s some extra sauce implemented in LibreWolf that Firefox lacks, but that stuff seems like too much of a compromise for me (like canvas fingerprinting).

Plus, I think orange looks nicer in my window list than blue.

I also don’t use tor or a vpn unless I can’t access anything otherwise. I guess I don’t really see the need to, since I don’t think I’m doing anything that’ll draw the government’s attention.

I played Braid ages ago, and it was okay. I can see it being influential when it first came out when there wasn’t many indie games.

Don’t think I really want to play it again though - it told it’s story and that was that. Unless it adds tons more levels or something, I’m not sure what value the remaster adds.

It’s sadly one of many “platformers with interesting mechanics but slow and clunky controls” that the industry has moved away from.

Whitespace isn’t semantically important. Ticket closed.

Mostly just working through my “I should get around to playing this” list. Hades, Dome Keeper, Loop Hero and Whisper Squadron: Survivor.

I guess I don’t have much faith in the ability for magnets to stick well enough to the console.

Could have just gone through some planning hell and was originally intended to be released a few years ago.

As an aside: Magnets to attach the joycons seem miserable.

Technically that would mean that one copy of the file is no longer updated when the other is.

You should consider using ln bkp.tar.gz bkp2.tar.gz instead.

Proton isn’t designed to be a security layer and afaik doesn’t go out of its way to sandbox applications. I’d expect a lot of viruses will fail to do anything, but there’ll also be some able to do things like steal your browser or discord passwords.

There’s no reason to risk it; don’t run anything in Proton that you don’t feel safe running on Windows.

I have never wanted to play a game so hard in my life. It seems to have the atmosphere of Inscryption, the gameplay of Papers Please and a lot of buttons and knobs to mess around with.
