Well, that's kinda my point. At least he's doing both, not only one of those

Oh, and ladies? He's looking to to reenter the dating market. I guess that's neither here nor there, but for some reason he's available!!!

:D

so high on his own supply

I'm out of the loop, I don't know who he is and I'm not sure I've heard about the drug earlier. But IMO, at least he did that. Instead of only peddling dreams to others for a hefty price

What about Manjaro with XFCE? That would have graphical package manager/settings/etc out of the box without being very heavy

What do you do when you update the release point? You don't suddenly discover that alsa is a thing of the past and half of the system migrated to pulse now? That a distro package for light http or socks or some other niche is discontinued and now you have to migrate to another software? And you can't approach those one at a time, as in a new installation or rolling release, either you migrate or you don't?
Those were my observations

I did and my response to that is that it's very probable it would turn into something dysfunctional

Think what practices would result in more gains with such system in place. I’m afraid it might be churning out low value, highly hyped, hastily created games with paid reviews

But without it, there is no positive feedback for good games

Do you wish that you could recycle games?

No. The system is flawed, of course, but in the end game sells -> publishers see the genre/idea sells -> they are going to fund creating another one like that -> creators with ideas earn money
How strong we feel that publishers leech off creators is a valid point. But in the end that's how it works right now

Maybe, if publishers and creators were getting some petty tax from each swap, that would enable recycling without killing the positive feedback for a good game. Or open another can of worms. Think what practices would result in more gains with such system in place. I'm afraid it might be churning out low value, highly hyped, hastily created games with paid reviews
Or maybe it's a good business idea and it will revolutionize industry once someone puts up such a service

But, I think, implemented by the current big ones it would end up badly. It's a flip of the whole business plan and they would cling to old ideas

Additionally, this idea would probably in practice look more like streaming does. A subscription to access with some "coins" for swapping. And we already see that streaming has negative effects on accessibility to older, niche movies and series

you know you’ve wasted however much money

I know that what I'm going to write doesn't work for fighting games. But for the rest of them, wait until they are priced what you are comfortable spending based on howlongtobeat. Last night I binged on Citizen Sleeper that is on sale rn. 6hrs of good story for price of 1-2 beers. I usually don't get back to games I've finished, so probably won't be playing it ever again. But I still feel it was money well spent. And if it wasn't that great, this price is not the amount I'd regret spending on a meh game

I've moved to rolling release distros long time ago, I don't know what is the current situation. But back then reinstalling was the less painful way of updating point release distros. Because the old one was version locked for so much time, one had to spend a lot of time and effort to migrate to a newer release, figure out what replaces what etc

Wow. That name brought some memories

Looking at wiki

a rolling release
Initial release November 22, 2013

So it seems it's rather mature distro and since it's rolling release, it should be rather up-to-date, without reinstalling every half a year

I'm not sure where to browse the official package list, but loooking at pkgs.org:

• Lx 5.0 looks outdated. Wine version on it is 8.20 (current stable release is 9.22)
• Rolling, on the other hand, might be too on the edge. It has wine 10, which is release-candidate, not stable yet

But maybe I'm missing something in how the distro manages versions

The rolling one is definitely worth trying, IMO

Only on desktop an in popular browsers, though. I tried the Greasemonkey version but it didn't seem to change much

Hm. I'll have to take a look where to find it in SlimSocial. Thanks :)

Ah, yeah. Messenger got so big that I've heard some users don't even know it's part of Facebook. They use it as separate app

How are you (plural, I mean other posters too) managing to use Facebook to keep tabs on your friends? It's so full of "sponsored", "clips" and "ad" posts that it takes absurd amount of time to get to what people in your friends list posted. And it's like 1 post from someone I know, 10 irrelevant trash

It does show the events (mainly concerts for me) other people are going to, so that's why I do open it once in a few months

So basically their software is real open-source now and we can just compile stuff for their devices, without flashing OpenWrt etc? Can those be bought outside of Germany? I've never heard of it

I like DS4 because it has gyro. You can bind it to mouse in antimicrox or steam and have very organic precision aiming

Haven't used DS5, though

And since I've went through a few "non-big-corp gamepads", unfortunately I'd suggest the big-corp ones. They do last longer

There's a bunch of leaves. Wind blows. One leaf gets blown away. It leaves the leaves

Haiku version:
There’s a bunch of leaves
Wind blows. One gets blown away
It leaves the leaves

Because no no no

I understand that it's a different model that will not work for everyone. But check out Bandcamp's payout model. Find new music via internet radio/MusicBrains (I don't remember RN the name of music exploration based on that)/yt and buy it via the model that is straightforward and at least seems to put the most money in artists' pockets

Bandcamp also has a "discover" feature where you can set which genres you are interested in. I did find some interesting albums this way too

Duckduckgo is also owned by non-profit?

TIL thanks!

Haven't heard of Ecosia before. Looks really interesting

Anyone has used it for some time and has some comments?
