The Driftveil City Theme from Pokemon B&W pops up in my mind quite frequently, I’d say its up there in the list for catchiest Pokemon tunes. Honorable mention for Cave Story’s Main Theme (the wii version is clearly superior from all others and I will not accept any other opinions on the matter)

I really thought that the effort of Fedora integrating flatpaks with their atomic spins meant that flatpak development was anything but lacking. I wonder if Redhat’s budget falls too short to take a look at those PRs? Specially for the replacement of pulseaudio, giving mic permissions because you allowed audio to go through your speakers really shouldn’t be a thing. Great summary either way

So thats the reason behind the steamdecks fume mania huh? I’ll keep that in mind (hopefully not on my nostrils!) if I ever get one. Thank you for keeping up with the blogposts! They make my long bus rides way more entertaining :)

If anyone is curious, I checked the yay aur helper go dependencies here and it had none of the malicious packages mentioned on this post

LocalSend for quick local network file sharing from my phone that just werks. I prefer it over kde connect because the latter uses lots of random ports that kinda bloat my firewall whitelist. I know there is an alternative called warpinator, but I don’t see a reason to change my preferences for now.

And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

For anyone wanting to relive the minecraft 7th gen console experience on PC, I suggest you give the Legacy4J mod a try, specially with the Re-Console Modpack. I had lots of fun revisiting the old tutorial worlds

Thanks!

That vimeo link of the spanish tv crew coverage doesn’t seem to work for me. Do you happen to have any mirror of it?

Tux is in need of a glass of wine to handle all those pesky windows households

Fallout New Vegas! I’m really enjoying all the characters that I have met so far, but I’m starting to realize that villifying factions right from the start isn’t the best idea when trying to get to new places

Bingo bango bongo, bish bash bosh

Wouldn’t it put Firefox on a pickle? Say Chrome gets bought out of Google’s hands, would they still bother to pay half a billion to Firefox to stay as the default search engine? Could Firefox survive being financially independent?

Has it fixed the markdown inconsistencies yet? Last time I tried the app for lemmy all the spoiler boxes I saw just didnt work

I went into void as my first DIY distro, mainly because I wanted to mess around with window managers and it was a very good experience. Runit made my underpowered laptop boot into linux in like 4 seconds, crazy fast. XBPS package manager was always really really fast too. I like the fact that nearly everything you need is in the official repo, instead of having to delve into the depths of something like the AUR. I also managed to make a contribution to the repos with the help of the community on the IRC chat rooms which were very noob friendly. Overall just a solid experience.

Definitely overkill, but considering the chip is going into flagship phones it’s almost to be expected. Really going off topic here, but with this much performance, I really think the next step should be to make x86_64 apps compatible on these phones. Wine on ARM is getting pretty good with projects like FEX and Box64 being capable of getting console-like performance on full blown desktop games with these newer phones. Idk, I feel like features like Samsung Dex could actually become a serious desktop replacement if they could implement more office solutions from PC’s programs. We’re at the point where I think it would be feasible to do, imo.

Super mario maker’s “x” bubbles that show where people died in the level really gives the game a nice touch. Makes you not feel as bad for dying in an easy obstacle lol.

When an app supports linux, it can do so by either:

• packaging it for popular distro repositories,
• giving instructions on how to build the app from the source code

or

• package it on distro-agnostic, package management solutions like flatpak or appImage.

These last ones are sandboxed environments. That means they have their own dependencies isolated from your system, so they dont have to deal with every distros pecularities at the cost of using more storage space. This is very useful for developers and in your case benefitial for the user because you can have both steam and zoom via flatpak on mint, arch or any obscure distro that has flatpak available, without any major problems.
