I had it for Stadia and it was refunded when they closed, but for $4 I might buy it honestly. The “progression” was super flawed but the actual gameplay was fun.

I didn’t say there were good alternatives, just that there were alternatives.

Possibly. Diablo 1 for example gave me trouble on Windows 7 but works great on Wine.

Linux is ubiquitous across many devices (you won’t even know you’re using it) and servers yet it’s all based on FOSS. There isn’t an alternative for many of those usage cases.

Sure there is. There’s always Windows Server or Windows Embedded/IoT.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

If Firefox blocks it, why am I unique according to that site?

Honestly I have an easier time running old Windows games on Linux than on Windows.

January 2015. I would do my best to put paychecks away for a few months coupled with what I already had, and invest it all in Bitcoin in August/September when it was $200. Even if I just let it ride until November 2021 rather than playing the ups and downs I’m looking at a 340x return. If I emptied out my savings and 401k, even if I couldn’t convince family members, I’d have tens of millions of dollars.

Only if you can’t handle New.

What do you mean “now”? This has been the case for years.

The point is he’s so far beyond humanity that he doesn’t care. He relates less with humans than you do with your phone.

Hmmm, I’m using osmand from Fdroid and it does not support it. It looks like you need to use the subscription version which is a bit much but I’ll take a look.

I kind of thought my negative distupgrade experiences were a “me” problem.

I mean I will say I’ve never had a failed distribution upgrade, so I think they are a bit of a you problem. Most likely related to some issues with specific packages you have installed and upgrading from version to version.

A little different from many of the things mentioned, but…

• Tales of Maj’Eyal - an open source Roguelike with a ton of content. There are paid expansions but the engine and base game are FOSS.
• 0 A.D. - AOE-like
• Battle for Wesnoth - a really fun TBS
• gzdoom + freedoom - while the assets aren’t quite on par with the commercial Doom assets, this will allow you to play through any Doom mod/TC

Is there a decent option for using OSM with Android Auto? I want to move away from Google as much as possible, but Mapfactor’s routing is… well, terrible.

I like the concept. I’ve been rolling tumbleweed for a while with no issues except for Nvidia drivers, but combining the stability of a point release with the “install once” feature of a rolling release is nice.

OS Leap and Debian do a solid job with release upgrades, but applications can get out of date when you’re getting close to the next release.

They officially support Ubuntu and Fedora, and it looks like people have decent experiences with other distros. That’s on the 13 though, nothing official about the 16.

It wasn’t even Sennheiser, it was a company Sennheiser had licensed their name to.

It’s really unfortunate that Sennheiser has diluted their brand so much. Between this deal with Epos and their consumer division going to Sonova, it’s hard to tell what’s actually still made by Sennheiser. I imagine it will become more evident as Sonova starts designing new products and they start to diverge.

I have a… philosophical issue with Zorin. It is based on Ubuntu, which is fine, but then they charge for “Zorin Pro” which gives you access to different preconfigured desktop layouts that are provided using FOSS software. They’re doing nothing wrong from a licensing perspective or anything, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

I would say Linux Mint or even just Ubuntu are better recommendations for a solid beginner distro.
