Just because the game failed doesn’t mean the whole studio needs to be scrapped… Artists and programmers could still get their chance to shine, without the top level decision makers steering the game towards dated formulas like hero shooters

It used to be my favorite game before I played Outer Wilds. That was a while back, aah the nostalgia… The Swapper’s graphics are also quite unique and aged pretty well I think.

I mean, he’s in a similar situation as Toby fox. He has the freedom to spend as much time as he wants on developing updates without worrying about money, so he doesn’t need to charge anything or ask money from players.

Linux Mint makes it very easy to install Nvidia drivers and Optimus. I have used it in the past on a laptop with a similar configuration. It’s also quite robust, probably more than Garuda.

That’s true. Also I guess domain names in most ideogram-based languages cannot be meaningfully converted to ASCII. The best detection method I’m aware of is detecting a mix of different alphabets in the domain, but I imagine even this has a lot of false positives

This should be ON by default, in my opinion. Also, I believe Mozilla has a massive opportunity here to demarcate themselves as the more security-conscious browser vendor. “This phishing trick works on all major browsers except Firefox” would be great publicity material.

What’s the problem with it? (legit question from non-silverblue user)

Brainfuck? Really?

I think most people (including myself) prefer a minimal desktop by default, and then proceed to install only the software they need. Nevertheless, it always surprises me when I log in to a system that doesn’t have vim.

It’s open-source merely to comply with the GPL license of the kernel, but the fact is that an Android image built only from open source components will be extremely crippled or, depending on your point of view, basically useless. Such an image will not even boot on the majority of devices ; you’ll need those sweet proprietary driver blobs if you want your phone to do anything, and a bunch more closed source binaries in order to use Play services.

In tmux, you usually set configuration options with set -g in tmux.conf. “-g” sets a global option which will apply to all new windows and sessions, otherwise the option applies only for the current window, which is usually not what you want.

Since command-alias is an array, you can use the -a flag to append a new value at the end.

With that said, try this:

set -ga command-alias s="new-window ssh foo"

Keep in mind that run in tmux runs a shell command in the background, so you most likely want to use something like new-window or new-session instead.

Since Google makes money off of you using Maps, and makes third-party apps pay a fee for using their API, I don’t think they have an incentive to let you download navigation data to use it into another company’s software

Sounds like you’d enjoy Nuclear Throne or Enter the Gungeon. Both are very similar, they are roguelike in 2D top-down view with enemies that shoot a lot of projectiles and gameplay is about using dodge rolls and taking cover

That’s really impressive. It’s also good for preservation since AFAIK Blizzard killed the possibility to play the original game legally when Reforged came out

I basically agree with all the points you are making. Only scan downloads, email attachments and whatnot. Don’t try to play cat and mouse with sophisticated malware because that’s a waste of resources. I don’t think software like this exists?

Perhaps SELinux on desktop is the way to go as other posts are suggesting, although I heard that it has some usability problems and can break some programs.

You might be legitimately annoyed by the amount of free antivirus software on Windows that don’t offer good protection, on top of being filled with ads. But I don’t agree that scanning for malicious files and preventing dangerous commands (regardless of how good the implementation is) can be labelled as snake oil.

I don’t understand why we keep telling new users that it is useless to use an antivirus on Linux. For people with computer knowledge, sure. However more widespread Linux adoption will mean more casual users will start using it. Most of them don’t have the “common sense” that is often mentioned ; these users will eventually fall for scams that tell them to run programs attached in emails or random bash scripts from the internet. The possibility is small, but it’s not zero, so why not protect against it?

This might not fit your workflow, but Thunderbird can be used as an RSS reader. Go to File > New and add a new Feed Account

This looks cool. I might consider trying GNOME again if it gets implemented.
