  • I have not heard of it yet. Sounded intriguing. But a quick search of "eFootball" took me to a mobile game, with in-app purchases - not looking good and I am staying the fuck away. If they really don't have mtx then they are doing something very wrong.

  • Search for "how to install Firefox in Arch". Snapstore page which asks you to first install snap from AUR, and then install Firefox through Snap is the second entry, I kid you not!

    And they have same pages for Fedora erc.

    This predatory behavior is to try and get any potential new Linux users to use their crapstore instead of their distro's package is disgusting and malicious.

  • It makes less sense since extensions actually ran on Android, e.g. via Nightly and creating your own list of exceptions. Also if you downgrade and install in an old Fennec version, extension will continue to function if you then update to the latest.

    I think the move was an attempt to create a walled garden. But for whatever reason, they have now decided against it. Thank goodness.

  • You can instead, for instance, get a Dell latitude with 32GB i7, for less than $1000. It comes preinstalled with an inferior "OS" (rather sales, telemetry and data harvesting avenue), Windows 11 Pro. But it begs to be wiped and installed Fedora or Arch or some other useful OS, which is easily done.

  • I don't quite believe it, but secretly hope that the metric is correct and it's indeed accelerating.

    Linux desktop has been ahead of its competitors, both Mac and Windows, for a while now. While Windows keeps getting worse and worse.

    And now all games run on Linux desktop too (except Destiny).

    May be people are slowly realizing and catching on?

  • Destiny did this. I have no idea why people love that game, btw. The guns and the environment are well designed, and the story (if you call it that) teases of science fiction. But that's all the positives about it.

    The secrets are so bad that you need to follow a Youtube guide and would probably never discover them in a lifetime. The raids are a huge chore of completely arbitrary series of mechanics that are never explained. You grind for weapons and they get nerfed. You keep doing the same missions again and again and again. Your trophies that you firmed for in year can just go away without notice. The damned thing does not even run on Linux. The list of ways it is unfun goes on.

  • This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.

    Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I'd definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I'm willing to learn something new.)

    The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You'll be better off.

  • Damn it. Just when I bit the bullet and bought Diablo 4 on Battlenet. I bet whenever they launch Diablo 4 on Steam, they'll not just transfer my license it to Steam.

    Edit: FWIW I'm using the Battlenet launcher with Lutris, and so far it's far less problematic than Epic. Hasn't yet forgotten my log in and asked for password again like Epic does every few days which is super annoying (pretty sure this is how they operate on Windows also).
