Imagina pedir un taxi aéreo por app, como haces ahora con Uber o Lyft, para viajar a tu aeropuerto local: podrías elevarte por encima del tráfico de carretera y llegar mucho más rápido que si fueras en coche.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time running around the small levels in Streets of Rogue, it was absolutely brilliant chaos and Streets of Rogue 2 going open-world is looking mighty fine in this first developer video.

“on by default” is the wrong way to go with something that sends user’s data elsewhere. You can still say “transparency and availability of options are key” with having it 100% opt-in.

4x space strategy game New Stars hits Early Access, designed for players who don't have endless hours to dedicate to one game gamingonlinux.com/2023/12/4x-s…
Are you a fan of titles like Stellaris and other space strategy games? You may want to take a look at New Stars, which just entered Early Access with Linux support.
there seems to be an increase of 4X games which don't take ages anymore. I wonder if that has partially to do with the also aging gamer population, who have a family etc and not all the time anymore.
Against the Storm is a city-builder with a springle of rogue-lite, in a dark fantasy setting and now only has it recently left Early Access to hit 1.0 but it's also now Steam Deck Verified!
there are cases when that happens. Like bad edid, dsub on 4k, old hdmi/dp standard on 4k, bad/old driver screens and all such nice corner cases. Where you could enforce a custom value on x11. So it's possible his case is true. It'll probably fix itself on the next hardware upgrade.
Kde on wayland has a cool feature where you can do scaling backwards, really useful on horrible 1366x768 screen, sure everything looks weird but more stuff can fit on screen
@BrodieOnLinux Your last video hasn’t been around for more than 12 h and there’s already people writing hate in blogs without even giving a single fact: techrights.org/n/2023/12/19/Br…
I do like that he uses the term vlogger to describe me, as if he himself isn't just a blogger. Just because you type instead of speak it doesn't make what you're saying any more important
@immaculatetaste Also half the post isn't even about me, it's about It's FOSS covering things that aren't FOSS sometimes and Stallman getting cancelled
@gracicot I didn't even spot that, what is he saying Stallman is correct about lol. Stallman said Flatpaks and Snaps contain proprietary code and you shouldn't trust proprietary code, nobody is in disagreement
that's funny because not only is the title misleading the reader into believing that flatpaks and snaps themselves (not their stores) promote non-free software in some way, but also because, on the flatpak side, flathub actually displays a warning in every program that is proprietary, because having a closed source license is treated by it (flathub) as a security risk, so... If they're trying to incentive users to make use of non-free software, they're doing a terrible job.
@hiyatolol He is often a Stallman dick rider, if Stallman says something then it must be good. I've gone on record to say many times I think Stallman's stance on hardware code is counter to the entire free software philosophy (if it's baked into the hardware we don't think about it), and I don't like this idea that you have to go 100% free software, most people can not do that an in fact demanding that only hurts the movement, I take a more practical approach to the matter
@hiyatolol With that being said I think a lot of Stallman's early work was incredibly important and much of what he still says today on privacy is important to hear (albeit a losing battle)
@hiyatolol his stance on the hardware is also weird for me. But I understand the 100% demand. He started the "Free Software Foundation", and not the "software compromises foundation". We might have to make compromises in real life, but the advocacy should be about demanding software to be free, and rewarding those who abide by this philosophy.
@nicemicro @hiyatolol I understand the software stance I just feel it's counter productive to helping people adopt free software, for example if I couldn't game I would never be daily driving Linux
that's kinda the issue with the game industry, not free software though.
Most game studios exploit their workers with miserable working conditions, and then exploit their users with all imaginable hostile antifeatures.
Luckily, gaming is not a necessity in life, so I would definitely not make my computing decisions based on that. Sure, it's nice that I can run StarCraft on Linux, but it's not the purpose of my computer to run it.
@nicemicro It doesn't matter what the reason is, if you're thinking of the reason you're already miles away from the average person. I want to play video games, if I can't your system is broken therefore I use windows.
then we are back to square one, software companies have no problem exploiting their users, as long as their users don't care, and the FSF can't make the users care, because then "what about muh games".
The users don't do anything to force the devs to make free software, because if they took a stance that would mean no more playing with non-free software.
@nicemicro It would be nice if the games were free software but my stance is I want to help people have more free software in there lives, and actually pay attentionn to the software they're running, you don't get that by telling people how they use there computer is wrong, you only get that by helping them adapt in places they can adapt
In 2020 one of the people working on @privacyguides with me disclosed a potential conflict-of-interest when we were reviewing Startpage, and Techrights managed to manufacture plenty of drama out of that GitHub comment, and threatened to conjure up a story about paid Startpage shills unless they got a response to their pointed questions from us (and delivered on that "threat" when we wrote him off as delusional and ignored him) haha
@wiikifox To be fair I would like the Linux Foundation and Mozilla while we're at it to spend a lot more money on engineers and less money on social programs
