That is part of the genre, yeah.

They’re procedurally generated within a range of possible effects and damage based off the “manufacturer” in-game

You’ll end up finding one you really like and using it for like 5 levels, while selling other loot, until you find one that jives more with your play style and is more powerful than your current loadout

Even with the PS4, the bluray couldn’t play the game.

It had to install to the internal drive and download updates

I switched to quad9 private DNS and turned private DNS off, both in a private tab of Fennec - same results

It sounds Fennec F-Droid specific, somehow.

Reports here are saying the official Firefox build works fine: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

It also seems to affect certain extensions

Looks like a reported issue

https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

I’m seeing what sounds like the same issue.

Based off your comment on extensions, I just disabled all extensions, and the problem went away.

If I enable any extension, it breaks again…

So to me it seems like a bug with the extension system

Edit: tested with Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and NoScript

Edit2: Fennec F-Droid build #1420020; Android 16 (GrapheneOS 2025081400)

Edit3: Found a bug report about it: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/134

That’s why all of the major players have been frothing at the mouth to get rid of discs

How many of the ~6,818 titles now disclosing generative AI use were already on Steam in 2024?

I.E. are a lot of these just games that had already been released, updating their disclosure statements based on Valve’s new rules?

The article says 1/5 games released this year use it. I’m not sure if ~34,000 games have released on Steam in the last year

For unplayable, Rocket League had very good Linux and macos native builds. Epic required them to delete support for those operating systems as part of the acquisition of Psyonix

When they buy publishers, they had them actively remove Linux support, such as Rocket League

Wow. This opengoal project is so cool!

You made me dig through old boxes to find my Jak games. I know what I’m doing this weekend :)

I see some apps there that are also in F-Droid

Is there a big benefit to Obtanium for apps that are also released there? My understanding is that Obtanium doesn’t do any key verification of APKs, so I’ve only used it as a last resort

I have fond memories of playing it as a comedy game back when the Radeon RX 480 came out

There was a bug with the shaders in this game, so all the walls and many floors were rainbows 😂

All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they’re simply upstreamed now

My assumption is baseball

AAA is the best you can get in minor leagues before you move to the major leagues

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-A_(baseball)

eSIM requires proprietary google services to activate, so if you’re planning on messing with ROMs I find physical to be easier

It doesn’t have to, but GrapheneOS is designed around security first, privacy second, and usability third

If you install Fennec browser on it and open, e.g., https://www.learningcontainer.com/download/sample-pdf-file-for-testing/?wpdmdl=1566&refresh=6697dcd62a0141721228502

The PDF will display inside Firefox

The default web browser on GrapheneOS, Vanadium, doesn’t parse PDF’s (they’re an incredibly insecure format) and passes them off to a sandboxed, hardened app specifically for that usecase

This allows rejecting more permissions than doing it in the same process

Apple’s using Qualcomm modems, and the complaint seems to be around the modem

If Wolfire kept up Humble Indie Bundle instead of it being sold to IGN and losing any semblance of “indie” I’d take the complaint more seriously

I do really like Lugaru, but still

Netflix is limited to 720p on Linux due to the DRM they use… maybe OP was confused because of that?

For real, if that game was Sundberg with his arms tied behind his back, I really want to see the original vision

Are the on-device pinyin keyboards unusably bad at typing?

I know it’s complex to get the right meaning with the English alphabet, but I’m surprised at cloud-based keyboards

“Generic system images”

Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI

What? The kernel only implements HCI - a way to talk to hardware

The Bluetooth stack and its protocols are implemented in BlueZ or on Android in Gabeldorsche

Google blocking RCS after their complaints about Apple not supporting their standard is really funny, but why CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 in this case?

The Google Messages app is Google Proprietary as is their server implementation for RCS

SteamOS is already open source, and they’ve even offered to help other integrators put it on their handhelds

If this is what you’re talking about, it already has the APK built on GitHub:

https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid

That’s sort of my original point - bringing VAC into the discussion of “it’s a sport” isn’t very meaningful

VAC has never, and will never, had an affect professional esports

I mean… professionals always have to spend dramatically more on hardware…

There are rules around the engines and bodies f1 and nascar drivers can use, there are rules around what shoes runners can use…

A slimmed down operating system on a specific hardware configuration isn’t unreasonable

Professional players should all be using the same hardware and software configuration

VAC is to keep the game fun for more casual players

That implies a problem with Apple’s scheduler and/or thermal management

The kernel should never allow a user space processes to overheat the hardware

They didn’t use an OEM in the way I think you mean that

The board design was in-house

There were a lot of issues with the power consumption of the CPU they picked, and they went back and forth on whether they should wait on NXP for a better chip

I’m one of the early backers, and I have gotten it. The battery life is just too bad and the camera app needs a lot more work if you want to take quick pictures

They definitely screwed up pretty bad, and I wouldn’t recommend buying one, but there isn’t anything comparable from a software freedom and privacy standpoint that you can buy

I’m a similar vein, I’ve been enjoying “20 Minutes Till Dawn,” too

It would make sense - Microsoft used the Xbox to push DirectX over OpenGL, and that is how stores were laid out at the time. It’s just been enough years I can’t verify whether it was a rumor or actually happened

Back in the day, it was reported Microsoft had paid game stores like GameStop to put the Sega Dreamcast in the back of the store, so I wouldn’t be surprised

Then when they finally admitted it and Oppo wanted it to be more profitable, it stopped making decent phones

OnePlus got purchased by Oppo, and it hasn’t been as special since

The founder left and made “Nothing” phones after Oppo’s takeover
