You also have to run them and let unity engine phone home

Unity made it clear that reinstalling on the same device doesn’t count. Though installing on multiple devices counts since they don’t track who installed it.

It seems they switched from Haxe/OpenFL to Haxe/Unity in march

Do you boycott unitygames now?

I guess shitposting hits the fan.

I just make normal backups before I update

So … it’s similar to what g-droid does as an app?

Note: search only appears and works if datatables.net doesn’t get blocked

Apps have unique IDs like com.liftoffapp.liftoff and f-droid/play store don’t know who installed an app. They just show you all installed apps that are in their repos and look for updates for them. If they wouldn’t handle it like that, you wouldn’t get any updates if you installed an .apk manually. If an .apk gets installed and there is already an app with that ID, it replaces it and that’s how updates work. So if they both do an update, the first update will replace the old version and the second update will replace the first.

In the past apps from play store and from official f-droid repo wouldn’t replace each other without further user confirmation and deletion of user data. I don’t know if it’s still handled like that. F-Droid builds and signs packages on it’s own, which results in a signature key mismatch. It’s different for repos like IzzyOnDroid which just distribute official builds and therefore are signed with the same key. Though IzzyOnDroid has a key mismatch with F-Droid.

Usually a different key means that somebody modified the app and you don’t want an malicious app to be blindly installed or have access to the app’s user data. But F-Droid have no other choice when they build the packages themselves.

The kickoff meeting for Vulkan was hosted by Valve. Like everything it’s not only Valve, but they had their fingers in this too. Valve is just one of the companies/groups that is pushing linux ports and vulkan support.

Valve is mostly moving interests of big game companies with steam machines and steam deck. Steam machines flopped, but initially they made companies consider ports. The success of steam deck will likely result into them paying more attention to not break wine/proton.

Yes, they just started to pay who already worked on all that stuff and had the know how. They paid CodeWeavers to work on proton, started to pay the DXVK person, I’m not sure if the D9VK fork person was paid but I think so, paid the FNA person.

Though DXVK wouldn’t be possible without Vulkan and Valve was involved in Vulkan since the beginning. They also pay people to work on linux drivers since 2014.

Let’s not forget that Valve released a Linux port for TF2 in 2012, released their native client in 2013, released SteamOS in 2013 and in the end ported nearly all their games to linux. It didn’t start with Proton.

But Humble Bundle pushed ports before that, because games had to have a Linux port in order to get into the bundle.

federative networks also always have the cryptoanarchists lurking somewhere

a cheap peertube clone that can’t even federate

It also compares two different things. At first birds from North America an Australia, then the coat of arms of the US and Germany.

I guess as an extinct species it would fit between the australian an german one, as the former seems to exist and the latter never has.

Oh wait … Ursprungsland Taiwan is Swedish? That would be also valid German, but it’s the only text there that would.

Well, but New York is actually named after the duke of York

Edit: New York, New York City and Albany were all named after James II king of England and Ireland who was also James VII of Scottland, because before he became king he was duke of York and duke of Albany.

Yes, US annexed New Mexico and Texas, which originally belonged to Mexico.

Well, the more popular a name the likelier it is that some screwed up person has that name.

• Stalin was a Joseph (Ioseb).
• Leopold II of Belgium was a Leopold (Léopold), with second names Lewis (Louis) and Philipp (Philippe).
• Lenin was a Vladimir (Владимир).
• Obote was a Milton.
• Mussolini was a Benedict (Benito).
• Franco was a Francis (Francisco).
• Tito was a Joseph (Josip).
• Micombero was a Michael (Michel).

Yes, you are right. I only had Cfb (Temperate oceanic) in mind, which is indeed quite small. But there is also a lot bigger area covered by Cfa (Humid subtropical). And both together are indeed more than twice as large as Germany.
