Spheres of Chaos is an old asteroids based game that really ups the ante on trippyness and cool sounds

I should warn you though that it is very flashy, so epilepsy warning is in order

Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don't know what I would thing about them today though but

Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)

You can easily get through PoE1's main campaign without paying a dime

Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the "midgame" of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4

However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It's doable, but that's kind of where you start hitting your limits

All in all, if you play for the main campaign it's essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading

As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.

(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don't get service types at all, let alone how you'd define your own service :( )

idk if all my calendars around me have been implementing it wrong, but if not, UTC is also affected by daylight savings, making it the same time zone as GMT

I think the greenery in these pictures is doing quite a bit of lifting. Brutalist buildings without plants are less fun to look at

What are you on about? The open letter was specifically advocating against sponsorships and advertisements of the Military Industrial Complex. I.E. private companies who specifically try to turn a profit from countries going to war. Companies that literally earn money over people's dead bodies. I think the people that wrote the open letter were very aware that being sponsored by the military was something that is hard to avoid. However there is a clear difference between being sponsored by a military and being sponsored by, like, literal death merchants

Hate to be that guy, but all those articles are 5 years or older. Have people had more recent complaints about systemd or did that movement that complains about it kinda move on?

This Arch story reminds me a lot of a r/talesfromtechsupport story that went remarkably similar but had a less happy ending for the Linux enthusiast, where he basically disabled the TPM and couldn't access the company network because the network seemed to only allow trusted machines.

Can't find it right now but maybe I can do some digging once I'm on a computer

Isn't there usually a yellow pop-up on the top of the screen showing microphone and webcam controls if they are active? I think that's how you control it. Now this isn't per-tab control, but it's better than no control at all I guess

 

So today Unity announced changes in how they are going to monetize their game engine, and it is, rightfully might I add, poorly recieved Here is how much youtuber Dani would have to pay unity if they consider his games to gain over $200k in revenue Dani's hypothetical unity payments

Now I don't know how much tracking crackers and re-packers remove from the games getting cracked, but if unity were to count cracked games as a valid install (and they will count every install of a game they are aware of), thn piracy could seriously bankrupt indie devs. Like, not just losing them revenue, but actively losing them money. While piracy is already in an ethical grey area, I think that is just a bit too much. So, I want to raise awareness of this, and with it I have 2 questions to ask:

  • Do the people that crack games make sure to remove the ability of unity tracking cracked installs?
  • If the answer to the previous question is "no", how do we make them aware of the fact that it is probably for the better if they do this?
