I've had this game on my wishlist for the last 2 years and I'm glad it's finally out. I got to play one of the early betas and it was pretty cool. Can't wait to try the release at some point.









Old School Rally gets hit with a DMCA and taken down from Steam gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/old-โ€ฆ

Unfortunately this is one of many reason where my brain tell to "make everything from zero". Pre-made assets can help a lot, I still feel uncomfortable using without been paranoid waiting to someone sue my ass just because someone decide to be asshole for profit.

RaspberryPiOS ? GCompris ? What, your child can't even use Arch and neovim ?

More seriously thanks for the article, it's really interesting.

Image caption: a desktop computer sits on a desk with a box on top of it which has two switches labeled Win 10 and Linux. There is a text overlay that has the quote "grub is too complicated". These switches presumably connect hard drives, which would be an effective way at determining which drive to use to boot the machine.

Liam, you do good work mate! I enjoy following you on Mastodon. I quit Reddit two years ago and my life is measurably better. That place is a dumpster fire.


Valve replied with a statement on the recent new game dev rule from payment processors and some adult games being removed

Companies have no ethics nor morals, especially not banks and their ilk, so they have no business putting their nose into that. Today itโ€™s incest, when will it be magic, representation, and LGBTQ+?

Valve has no way to fight this. Banks/payment processors could simply decide to not work with valve and they have no way of doing business.



I find it oddly comforting that tech corporations are now straight up advertising their vision of dystopian individualism where all your friends have been replaced by their chatbot.

The littlest sir, though doing a lot better lately, still has anxiety and is alarmed by loud noises he doesn't recognise. It's kind of adorable how he looks to me to make sure I'm not worried about a noise, and I'll explain to him ("Just someone beating their rugs outside") and despite not understanding a word, he'll believe my tone!
Here he is, looking so very little.

To clarify from my understanding of what is being described here, Randahl mentioned you in his Mastodon post. BridgyFed, the fediverse/Bluesky bridge, copied that post to Bluesky. Since your own account is not opted-in to bridging, the mention in the post was interpreted by Bluesky as a web link, for which it generated a preview card. The preview card is based on public information provided by Mastodon. There is clearly a clash of expectations here but no malice.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
Perhaps you are correct, however, men should be more careful with women's safety.
Please talk with women who work with SA survivors and you will understand why what I am saying is true.

@HarriettMB

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
And this is why giving up privacy to make data public needs to be opt-in, not opt-out.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Perhaps Mastodon shouldn't generate cringe preview cards for account profile links, but instead use the instance graphic & text that makes it clear it's an account link. This seems like a basic safety confidence UX issue.
in reply to Cassandrich

@dalias If you put an Instagram profile in a Discord message, it will show you the name, bio, and the profile picture in the preview. Same for Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, Tumblr, Wordpress, and countless others. If we did anything else, it would be quickly reported as a bug and people would be frustrated, because this is your public profile and you customize it to what you want it to be.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Have they used a third-party client for Bluesky? I cannot reproduce this behavior with my bridged posts. Neither on bsky.app (Safari on iOS) nor with the official iOS app. Mentions are just links to an external website (i.e. public profile) without any preview card or additional information.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron

Very important and very clear explanation. With this, the technical issue became clear right now as well. Thanks so muchโ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ

@HarriettMB@beige.party

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Hi, Eugen
Perhaps that preview card data should not be made public outside Mastodon if the user has chosen either heightened privacy or no bridging?

Personally, Iโ€™d like to be sure myself that Iโ€™m not accidentally doxxing people simply because theyโ€™re mentioned in a toot, possibly a long way down a thread?

Are lead-lined envelopes still available? I used them for transatlantic shipping of floppy disks in pre-internet times, they might help here too.
in reply to mschomm

@mschomm If you put your film in a lead bag they will just scan it harder. The only way around is to ask for a hand check (in which case they need easy access to the film to swab it).

I always hesitate to recommend books I haven't yet finished but I'm halfway through IT WAS VULGAR AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL by Jack Lowery, which is about Gran Fury, the artist collective associated with ACT UP and their art/agitprop efforts around the AIDS crisis. It is absolutely stunning, every chapter is a master class in the power of imagery and communications, and every chapter makes me cry and laugh at the same time. Cannot recommend it more highly enough hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jโ€ฆ
