Semperverus

I have LCD displays that are old enough to vote with absolutely zero burn in sitting in my house right now, and a 1 year old OLED that has noticeable burn in, with several friends who also have ~1 year old OLED screens (including phones, monitors, etc) that have extreme burn in.

Anyone who tells you that its an outdated idea is doing free marketing.

Nice! Hopefully more people will be able to enjoy these. While i loathe the “consumable” nature of OLED, it definitely looks nicer for the first year.

Does FUTO’s license allow me to maintain my own fork under a different name to offer to fellow users, that is no longer under control of FUTO? I’m not selling (commercializing) it. If not, it is source-available.

The whole point of forkability is NOT for unfettered commercialization, it is a user protection. I as a user should be able to take any piece of software and modify it in any way I see fit, and then be able to contribute that back.

If you think that the OSI’s definition has anything to do with commercialization (other than explicitly saying that commercializing source code is not prohibited), you have completely misunderstood what open source is about, full stop.

There’s nothing wrong per se with what FUTO is doing. They have the right to determine how people can use their code. What is wrong is trying to use the term “open source” which has a very clear meaning to try and win marketing brownie points among its user base when it does not actually follow that definition. It is misleading at best.

Basically: don’t misuse the open source moniker for source-available projects.

So the open source community has a very clearly defined definition of “open” - open does not mean that you can just read the source code. Just reading helps with some trustworthiness, but in order to be afforded all of the protections and benefits of the word “open”, they require some form of ability to fork the code, and to be able to do useful things with that fork. No fork = not open. There are a ton of good reasons for this that I won’t dig into here but you can certainly find by looking up the free software foundation or the open source initiative.

Futo is considered “source available”

Also a florisboard user! Just patiently awaiting them to re-add glide typing

If you opened this up to free-only Steam games, that would probably get you a ton more players. Almost everything works on Linux now unless theres some kind of aggressive anticheat.

I don’t need a game to be hard, I need it to be consistent and well thought-out. Animal Well for example is a rather easy game, but because it only has one difficulty, the developer was able to keep a very tight focus on the world and puzzle design. Everything is layered there, because they don’t have to be containerized and sliced into pieces to account for adjustable difficulty settings.

It goes deeper than just simple engineering though. It affects tone and overarching game design. It is multiple extra dimensions that have to be considered across every aspect of the entire game. If it is done poorly, you get paper dolls on easy mode and damage sponges on hard and nothing of merit to compensate for these facts. The difficulty of the game goes from being genuine to artificial.

I have an XFX RX 480 that i upgraded to an XFX 5700XT, that I then upgraded from recently to a sapphire 7900xtx. The XFX cards had crashing problems and issues where video would just cut out and go straight to black. This happened on both Windows and Linux, and on two different motherboards and power supplies. As soon as I switched to the sapphire, every single problem just… disappeared.

Games used to be art and done for passion.

Having to include an “easy mode” in your game has powerful knock-on effects that change how normal and hard difficulties play too. Timings and quantities that would normally be finely tuned and hand-crafted suddenly need to be highly-variable and detract from the freedom of developing for just one difficulty.

Gnorp is a ton of fun. Ive been playing through guild wars to try to get gwamm but man is it a chore. Never did get through stalker, got walled in the section after the first loading screen with that area with the trucks and all the dudes with shotguns coming at you, but this was like over a decade ago that I tried. I mostly remember the flappy gums of one of the guys at the beginning saying "frau geobrau, pipe down m’yan, let me feel you een!’

The nintendo switch came out at the cusp of the switch to USB C, and before USB PD was fully hammered down, so it uses a weird custom/old version.

This is on Nintendo for not updating the standard on newer models, incorporating the old standard to make older peripherals work, and include rock-solid overvolt.

Luanti (minetest)?
Lunati the name of another game?

I just wish bluesky had an app on F-Droid (preferably GPL3)

Is this made by the same guy who does hyprland?

Where does this put Scott the Woz?

Similarly, people who write “a 100%” to mean “a hundred percent.”

What they actually wrote winds up being “a one hundred percent.” The “one” doesn’t disappear by putting “a” in front of it. If you want to write a hundred, write “a hundred.” It’s what you’re supposed to do for smaller numbers in the English language anyway.

This isnt even a gay thing, this is a social and privacy/personal space issue. Don’t pick stalls that are far apart because “it’s gay,” do it because other people might feel uncomfortable being near other human beings period (might get stabbed or robbed, might get harassed, or might just have extreme social anxiety - the most likely) while their privates are exposed and they’re in the middle of something.

Unless there are huge dividers between each one. Then it doesnt matter as much.
