I played quite a bit of the various demos. If you like city builders like Dwarf Fortress this is a great game.

the developer is very active in their discord server, having a channel for devlogs where they post about what they are working on. Great place for fans.

honestly it's annoying that the anti heat is the only thing stopping games running on linux.


Lol, the algorithm on X is just getting worse over time. Nudity.
Erm, okay? Thanks X for the quality recommendation to discover more?


THE FINALS now appears to work on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/the-…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

interesting, I played it yesterday and the performance was worse than on Windows. I have a Radeon 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600.

I set everything to low and I couldn't get a stable enough FPS that my monitor's FreeSync premium would stabilize on 120 Hz.

this doesn't happen on Windows, there I get a smooth performance overall. I reported these issues on ProtonDB.

in reply to Alex

@xinayder not surprising - it was never designed specifically for linux and only just started working with Proton, so it will take time for Proton devs and graphics driver devs to optimize it

Can confirm, running Nobara, Ryzen 5 5600X and RX 6650 XT, getting around 100FPS at 1080p on high settings.

Lutris game manager v0.5.15 brings lots of overall improvements for game installs on Linux and Steam Deck gamingonlinux.com/2024/01/lutr…

#Linux #SteamDeck #OpenSource

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

i will have to try the new version, for me the only game launcher that has worked reasonably well so far launching Rebel Galaxy Outlaw using Vulkan Radv with my AMD 500 firepro GPU on Debian 12 has been Heroic using Wine-GE and automatically applied known prefixes, Lutris did not work at that time, Wine did not work, Steam with Proton did not work.

Rain forests are usually self-irrigating. That’s why they are called ‘rain forests’. If you destroy the rain forests to grow soya, palm or whatever, you stop the irrigation. Scientists have been saying this for years. It’s happening. #BoycottPalmOil. Stop #deforestation.

🇪🇺 The EU's AI Act has now reached a provisional agreement and will likely reshape cloud services and online safety.

But implications will be nuanced and complex. What are your thoughts on the impact?

Seems interesting to me that deep fakes were categorised explicitly under the lowest level of risk. 🤔
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

I'm more concerned about unregulated AI than imperfect regulations which can be democratically adjusted over time.

Earthquakes routinely expose the differences between places with and without building codes.

Who would have ever guessed that application icons are more controversial than multi window support gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland…
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I honestly didn't - I thought that one was the easy one, especially since docs.gtk.org/gtk4/method.Windo… exists (so GTK could at least support the named-icon part, even though it unfortunately wouldn't support the pixmap part of the protocol - that has been removed with GTK4).

New #ArtistBook: ANTHROPOCENE, BOOK I

This portable manuscript recounts the six days of Creation as written in the Book of Genesis. But holes soon begin to appear in the pages and then multiply, making the text increasingly difficult to read...

These lacunae are in fact the silhouettes of extinct animal species, wiped out by human activity within my own lifetime. Their absence undermines the meaning and integrity of the text:

All we need now is a simple way to add multiple outputs to a single Xwayland rootful instance and you've got yourself a way to preserve every X11 desktop gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xs…
in reply to Kneonspace

@kneonspace X11 got somewhere because it was made a couple of dudes in a University, Xorg or better yet Xfree86 got somewhere because there was shitloads of money behind it and it was building off of the established protocol, Wayland is developers trying to make a new protocol and none of them can agree on which desktop requirements are the most important. But there's nothing weird about this Xwayland MR, it's just a few devs trying to correct a few issues.
in reply to Brodie Robertson

Basically the same design by comité that also plagued the x consortium. Luckily many Wayland implementations are under gpl and other copyleft licences so we don't get the proprietary extensions problem x had during the Unix wars.

And maybe the collaboration is better than, the realistic alternative where every de en wm would go there separate ways. Some would go with Arcan, other with mir, others with completely incompatible Wayland implementations.

Latest comic on billionaires bullying universities
in reply to Jen Sorensen

holding academia accountable for promoting a culture of anti-Semitism is the opposite of bullying
in reply to Jen Sorensen

you think maybe Gay could have been fine if she just realized that calling for the genocide of Jews is a form of bullying? Or maybe if she did her own work instead of plagiarizing *that much of it*?

Musk is a fucking nut, nobody takes him seriously. Ackman had a point. He didn't buy a social network, he didn't astroturf anything, he just said something people agreed with. Don't like it? Maybe try arguing the point instead of whining that he's too rich to be allowed to speak.
