I like gnome. My only gripe is that workspaces should be per-screen. But all Linux DEs aside from a few isoteric tiling WMs get that wrong.

Maestro@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Diablo 4's latest microtransaction controversy is a $30 portal recolor.6·1 year agoI spent about the same on a couple of stash tabs during a sale. I don’t regret it. The game gave me a couple of hundred hours of fun. That’s more than most games
Maestro@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 21st2·2 years agoI’m currently playing V Rising with a friend on a private server. I like survival games but I hate PvP, raiding and griefers. So far it’s pretty good fun! Like a mix between a Diablo-like ARPG and something like Valheim. You don’t need to grind resources so much, you collect plenty just playing. The focus is more on combat. Some bosses are pretty tough and progress is gated behind them.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Being forced to download the Reddit app onto my phone to view any 'NSFW' post, even though I'm on my desktop40·2 years agoThere’s also browser extensions like “old reddit redirect”. They ensure you’re always on the good version of reddit.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•[not solved] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection5·2 years agoMy guess is that you have Docker configured incorrectly. Its internal IP range probably overlaps with your real network, so all requests are routed to Docker. Uninstall docker and reboot the server. If that works, reinstall docker and properly configure its internal networking.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?5·2 years agoI don’t think so. I only beat 3-4 bosses or so. I think it was a dark bluish area with white spikes, some way down from the entrance.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?10·2 years agoI’ve just moved on to other games. I have a wife and a small kid. I can’t afford to spend hours and hours stuck on a game.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Gaming@beehaw.org•What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?19·2 years agoHollow Knight. I love that game but I am in my mid 40s and my reaction time isn’t what it used to be. And it’s not even the bosses. I just can’t make it past the spike section where you have to air-dash all over the place and can’t be a millimeter off or you die.

Distro maintainers are a lot better about keeping libraries up-to-date than random application developers. They will even patch applications to work on newer libraries, even when the app developers do not.
There’s also auditability. If e.g. OpenSSL (or some other library) gets a high rated CVE and Debian ships a same-day patch, I know I am safe. I can verify that I have installed the patched version, and I know my applications use that patched version. Not with flatpak. Now I’m at the mercy of a dozen app developers, many of which probably value security less than the Debian Security team.
IMHO it’s a mistake for Fedora to drop its own packages for flatpak. But Fedora appears just to be a RedHat experiments playground these days, not a user focussed distro.
Don’t get me wrong, Flatpak is fine if you want to install stuff from Joe Random Developer off the internet, but I trust the Debian maintainers a whole lot more. If they ship it, i can trust it.

Distro native packages are:
- Better integrated into the base system
- No maintenance for the devs (they are usually maintained by distro package maintainers)
- Better interoperability with other packages and dependencies, thanks to the package maintainers
- No duplicate or outdated dependencies
- More space efficient because they use system dependencies instead of packaging their own
- Launch even quicker since they don’t go through flatpak
- No missing or broken features due to flatpack limitations or sandbox issues (e.g. inter-process communication)
If an application is new or niche or small then flatpak is definitely a good option. But if there’s a distro native package then that one is almost always the better option. Flatpak is nice for when there is no native package.
Only install flatpacks if the distro repository doesn’t have the application in question. But I agree about snaps. Never ever use snap packages.
Maestro@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•This app lets restaurants and coffee shops charge to use the bathroom33·2 years agoThere are plenty of public toilets that charge a small fee. Train stations and airports for example. Also at gas stations it’s pretty common. But I have never seen it at a restaurant or bar. Maybe sometimes there’s a sign that says it’s 50 cents for non-customers or something. But never for customers.

They either have a Star Trek license and can’t say so yet, or they are going to be sued into oblivion.
