It’s cheesy because they hid cheese 🧀 in the levels

Very very few companies I know of hire at that - except maybe in like New York and California where the cost of living is much higher anyways?

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

Thats because flatpaks treat each apps directory as their own $HOME so instead of $HOME/.mozilla its $HOME/.var/app/{app_name}/.mozilla

Which is still fantastic dont get me wrong. But Mozilla hasn’t stopped hardcoding their Mozilla folder instead of the xdg dirs even throughf firefox issue tracker has had it on there for 20 years

This is why I use flatpaks. Keeps most of the offending the dotfiles in .var directory scoped to the app itself

I love Ubuntu’s default yaru theme, and gnome extensions. It seems currently the best distro on my Thinkpad which is unfortunately pretty incompatible to most linux distros due to the shitty Qualcomm WLAN drivers.

Plus Ubuntus package repository is pretty robust.

The only negative thing IMO is snaps being kind of iffy. I don’t think they are that bad but they seem a little too forced on the user.

Like Flatpak is kind of default on Fedora but they almost never force them on you.

I don’t really remember signing up for mastodon so I tested it.

mastodon.social -> create new account -> agree to terms -> username + email + password -> click email verification

It’s literally standard. Maybe in the past it was worse I vaguely remember giving up maybe a year or two before I made an account on mastodon.social.

I think the premise is:

Debian stable, slow release cycle

Arch bleeding edge, always latest updates to packages

Fedora - 6 month release cycle? So something in between?

The original large gameboys had a lock that utilized the slot via the power switch. The pocket removed the lock therefore allowing the non slotted Color games to be used in a pocket gameboy.

Former maintainer of the .xz project for about a year or two. Hid a backdoor into the code that almost made it into many bigger distros if it wasn’t found by a Microsoft employee.

I own quite a lot of mp3s legally. Host them on a 50 dollar raspberry pi with something called Navidrome which uses a protocol called subsonic.

I can stream my own music from my home to my phone etc or anywhere. Otherwise yeah just having them locally is the other best option.

Would this allow you to get achievements/trophies then?

As a programmer: “your data is boring. I am not interested in leveraging this for anything besides getting the service you are using to work as well as possible”

Also me as a programmer: “yo, you don’t need that data, stop asking for it. Ohh, your app is broken because it can’t access permissions? Yeet.”

It’s not about the programmers. It’s about the company and the ability to make money off of data they get from you. You should be the one who gets money for your data. Not Microsoft, not Google etc.

Is Microsoft making money off of this particular telemetry data? Maybe not. It should always be opt-in

This just simply isn’t accurate. There are often extra features that require an internet connection. And there are also some blu-ray movies that might require some form of internet connection to watch but the vast majority of consumer blu ray movies require no internet connection to watch them.
