Call me ignorant, if this happened and it brought a new golden era of modding (1.7.10 style) where everyone’s playing the same version I’d be maybe the happiest player ever.
Modders backporting content is nothing new, hell, they even brought the mobs that didn’t make the cut from those stupid mob votes to life.
Let modding become the new updates, fuck it. At this point they’d likely be better realised than Microsoft’s efforts.

Review Sample? You’re an influencer now :P


Other point the maintainers raised is the possibility that GenAI code violates the GPL license.
It’s a good concern to have, and one I feel people don’t talk about enough.


Looking a bit further into it, a bug report on the GZDoom GitHub page titled “Project management” was opened that gave a little more detail noting issues with the lead of GZDoom pushing untested code, using an LLM to write code and hiding “not insignificant changes in commits, which has people worried that you’ll randomly rip out features that they rely on”. In reply, the project lead simply said “Feel free to fork the project under a” (yes, that really all they said).
A later comment before the bug report was locked points out the specific change in GZDoom that was made with ChatGPT.

Lately it feels like GenAI is gonna push FOSS projects and its maintainers to the breaking point. So much for this great future every AI vendor promised us 🙄


RogueJack21.
Basically Slay the Spire meets Black Jack. Very fun, the UI is great and the animations are super smooth.

Skate Story.
Skating game with insanely trippy visuals, great music, runs super smooth even on my aging PC.

FEED MY MECH.
Iron Lung meets the Resource management/Task juggling of FNAF. Descend thousands of feet into an abandoned underground colony in your Mech and retrieve what’s left. Beware your surroundings.

Time Snatcher Handy.
Roguelike bullet hell where you can freeze time at will, but only for 60 seconds. These seconds serve both as your health and currency, so you gotta be really careful with how you utilize it.


Above all, I think the real problem here is that when people hear “Xbox is failing” they think “No wonder” instead of “What happened?”


but we’re trying to reinforce by adding more value to these plans as well."
Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics

So if you don’t play Fortnite and aren’t interested in 15 different Assassin’s Creed titles, fuck you I guess



If you bought Maze Mice not too long before the sale started, you might be able to get the difference refunded to you by taking to Steam Support


Fun fact: Steam (at least on Linux) shares caches between users with the same hardware.
Easier to happen on the Deck since it’s the same hardware for all, but even on my desktop PC I’ve seen it downloading and uploading shaders often.


Yeah sure but why didn’t they put a “Shader Compilation” loading screen then?
Many games have one that tell you what’s happening and give you an option to skip, better than having to find out via a tweet…



And how is said person gonna get Termux?
The playstore version is very crippled and Google could remove it for any bullshit reason they want


Gearbox was been scummy for a while now. Customers can learn to stop giving them money or can keep putting up with this.




There was one helluva gamer in Utah today.


Ngl, I feel the same way. The news pissed me off so much.
I was looking forward to getting a folding phone, but now I’m not sure I want to buy anything Android anymore.


Btw, the game developer is on YouTube and has made videos showing off how he achieved some effects used in-game:

He’s also showing off the development of his new Horror game, GANGSTALK


On the latest F-droid blog post they listed this as a known issue:

Fennec F-Droid was updated to 142.0.0 and got a lot of publicity, and not for how great it works, unfortunately. It appears the slow spell hit it too as there’s an issue using extensions that use webRequest listeners, like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Ghostery, TamperMonkey and more, that delay the connections to websites on start. For now we recommend to try a couple of things. While disabling these extensions fixes it, we know that the Internet is unusable without ad blocking.

  • First trick is to disable the extension, wait, hear me out, just toggle it OFF then ON back again. (Small note here: while there are many ads related extensions out there, maybe it’s time to look at their usage a bit more and decide to keep only one. We’ve seen users installing them all thinking this will cover all angles, while the truth is they are messing with each others rules and you might end up more exposed than less.)
  • Second, the issue is seen when swiping the app away (where the app status is decided by Android, Schrödinger’s app paradox), but some users reported success if instead of swiping it you actually close it. The Close button appears in the main menu if you enable “Delete browsing data on quit” in Settings. eg. “Cached images and Files” is the least annoying option to select, careful not to select any of the others. So, when you want to close the app, just use the button and on the next start it should load pages normally.
  • Third, our own @linsui pointed that, we can just close the screen. […] When you open the app, if you see it stand there doing nothing, lock the device and then unlock it. We don’t understand why this works for some, but surely it has to do with libraries and drivers and magic numbers.

As a reminder, there’s a reason why our fork of Firefox is named Fennec, it’s not about some code name anymore, but about the fact that our version is a work on top of Mozilla’s code. We need to extract all the bad (read non-FOSS, read privacy invading) code and give you a clean app that serves you and not some faceless corporation. Are we breaking some eggs to do this omelette? We sure are. And we do our best to serve it fast and tasty. Yet sometimes egg shells might end up in the final product.–


Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen

I’ve always wondered, couldn’t you work around this by having a feed with only the twitch chat for Twitch, and a feed with all the chats for every other platform?
I think you can comfortably encode 2 streams on basically any modern-ish card no?


I looooove Talos Principle but my hardware is getting long in the tooth and 2 runs so blurry (and not well enough to compensate) that I gave up on buying the 1 Remaster, even though I really wanted to play the new bonus chapter…


Just seems like my way of living is incompatible with modern society. It’s all just too hard

I know right?
Used a locked phone! Submit your ID to the web! Create a Instagram account! SUBMIT! SUBMIT! SUBMIT!


1 plus for Aegis.
Backup all your codes to an encrypted file you can do whatever you want with.
No cloud, no “automagic”, no obfuscation.
True peace of mind.


Well hey, having clear separation between work and personal could be a plus. Hopefully enough to offset the annoyance of carrying 2 devices…


I’m so tired of this shit man, I no longer have any real plan.
I’m seriously considering carrying the smallest x86/ARM Tablet capable of running Linux I can alongside some cheap phone for 4G hotspot and calls/strictly necessary.

Guess PC land is the last place we still have freedom (for now!!! 🙄🙄🙄)


If you don’t care about Do Not Disturb, you could probably jank more functionality by making a different function trigger whenever DND comes on with Automate or Tasker…


People just be having fun man.
Not to mention 3D modeling is pretty hard, it’s no wonder indie devs who are often self-taught artists/modelers/coders/everything-ers are doing it.



Large tech companies and investors are buying into the vibe coding hype, prioritizing quantity over quality and laying off people who can actually code for real in the process. I originally intended to work in the software engineering industry, but seeing the complete disregard for high quality code, overpowering greed and hype, and the layoffs that follow from it, I am shifting into academic research instead.
[…]
I want to do something actually meaningful and innovative with my time and life, not command Claude like I’m speaking to a child who forgets something every ten minutes and makes an oopsies every twenty before breaking down every hour.

Well shit, can’t say I blame him.


Ultimate 2 also does Gyro over the 2.4 dongle (At least in the Wireless version).
Update the firmware of the controller and the dongle and hold B when turning on.


It’s just a computer. Microsoft can’t kill it off (thankfully)


Giving 30% for Steamworks Multiplayer servers and matchmaking, player inventory and trading, modding support w/ workshop, forums, cloud saves: 🙅

Giving 30% because players ‘spend irresponsibly’: ✅✅✅



Hope you get better soon!


Much as I hate ads, it looks better like this.
The previous update had it looking like a bootleg and the rectangle tiles instead of squares made the disc art stretch:


It is exactly like the standard Meta Quest 3S, it’s just a different colorway and it comes with a Xbox controller and some Gamepass bundled.

You can still stream games from your PC, play Standalone titles, stream Gamepass, whatever.


The atmosphere of Buckshot was phenomenal, and the trailer for this looks great too. Looking forward to it.


As an outsider to Bethesda modding, given how difficult it looks, I’m surprised to hear this isn’t already a thing.
