Playing devil’s advocate here, but is it truly a public good to have as many works as possible accessible to the public?

What if misinformation outweighs real information in the aggregate?

Got mine a year ago and the OLED is really tempting. I’ve had the OLED switch and steam deck side by side and the screen on the switch is much better. What I’m hoping is that the screen is a drop in replacement option for the original.

Edit: Damn…

I use it with Firefox. I’m not sure if it’s available for Chrome.

There are some uBlock Origin custom filters that bypass a lot of paywalls. The one I use is called Bypass Paywalls Clean.

Everyone here talking about CoD and all I want to know is how Star Fox on SNES beat out GoldenEye in 1997.

That bothers you but the gay space communism on the technology community doesn’t?

I’m finally settling up a NAS and media server myself beyond just an old gaming computer. What do you use to setup caching on your nvme drives?

I went back and played (and beat) Super Metroid finally a few years ago. It was an amazing experience that I’m sorry I missed out on as a kid, but I don’t think I would have had the patience to beat it then. I ended up on a Metroid binge after that. Played the Samus Returns remake and Dread, and am currently playing the Prime remake. I think Metroid has been stuck in niche consoles for so long a lot of folks haven’t been exposed so I appreciate the remakes.

I missed NES games almost entirely. I was exposed to Super Mario (at friend’s houses for a few minutes at a time) and literally nothing else until decades later. I would have liked to have played the greats like Mega Man, Metroid, or Zelda.

I think I really would have liked to have played Zelda the most. I loved ALttP but imagine I would have loved the first one a lot too. It’s really hard to go back now when my experience of newer games sets my expectations. I still get frustrated today trying to navigate and survive when playing it.

I also completely missed out on Sega, but to this day I still don’t feel like I missed out on much.

I feel like I almost completely missed out on PC gaming from the late 80s to the early 2000s. I played a few mil-sim games from Novalogic and Jane’s but that was about it.

I wasn’t exposed to an FPS until half-life was a few years old. My first real gaming PC was built for Half-Life 2.

I totally missed Doom, Quake, Descent, Diablo, System Shock, Deus Ex, Wolfenstein, Fallout. I didn’t even know about Elder Scrolls, Myst, Riven, Maniac Mansion (or any of the other Lucasfilm or Tim Schafer games like it).

I did catch some lower spec games like Sim City, StarCraft, Worms, etc., But it seemed like none of them really caught my attention longer than a few hours. I was mostly interested in SNES and PS1 around that time I guess.

Best analogy I keep coming back to is an instance is like a PHP forum where it can talk to and display other forums.

Does anyone know of any Game Theory-esque analysis of how late-stage Fediverse is supposed to work? What’s the end game? What happens to the Fediverse with all the different kinds of players involved at this point?

This is a problem for potential growth. The language surrounding the Fediverse, the people communicating it’s strengths, the wild west flavor, and the content within the sites themselves are going to be geared towards that demographic. Late Gen-X and early Millennials are probably going to feel at home here but if we don’t work towards making the Fediverse more inclusive to other demographics it won’t be adopted as much as we would like.

I can’t speak specifically for steam deck, but I have used the 360 wireless receiver on Mint before with no problems.

I’ve been in developer mode on betas for a while so I wasn’t aware that wasn’t the vanilla experience. Having a relatively normal Linux package manager could be nice as an easy alternative to Discover.

I’m curious what would be worth getting through nix though. I suppose anything that isn’t on Discover, but I haven’t had too hard a time finding what I’ve wanted so far.

Is there anything significant on nix that’s unavailable with Pacman or Discovery? Seems it’s more like a traditional package manager with more mainline Linux repositories.

I love Notepad++. I use notepad apps way more than I should, but I really prefer the lightweight, no formatting text editing experience. It’s lightweight and can be installed as a portable version and supports all kinds of languages and plugins.

Edit: I suppose this isn’t in the spirit of the question though since Notepad++ is not for Linux. Still it’s an alternative to a Windows program that’s FOSS. (2/3 on topic)

Hyperlight Drifter caught me in just the right way to really enjoy it. Not sure how to explain but it was intriguing and atmospheric in a way I hadn’t really experienced in many games at the time.
