Using a game controller will now count as “activity”, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen. (Yelsin Sepulveda, KDE bug #328987)

I don’t know why this was not done before. I had in the past some nightmare experience trying to play emulation and my screen would go sleep every 15 minutes or so. That’s why I have this disabled and display never sleeps! I am curious to try the new feature if it works as intended.

Well, that’s one thing with Flatpak. There is a permission system, as the applications are fully or partially sandboxed. You can install “Flatseal”, that can change permission for each installed Flatpak application. But it can be confusing or hard to understand what you have to change in order to make it work. Or maybe the application itself is not packaged correctly as a Flatpak, I don’t know.

Yeah most people are not here to discuss and are toxic, that’s why I don’t answer to most.

I am not saying the sexual orientation or gender is forced on my, but rather for games where it does not matter should not be a factor of deciding how the game is made. What I mean is in example Marvel Rivals, people want trans characters added to it. And that has implications for gameplay and such. In example there are very popular characters from Marvel universe that could be added and needed too, in specific gameplay features. But if the gender is a deciding factor, then it affects gameplay decisions of developers.

Or in games like Zelda, people want a character where you can set the gender. But this has huge implications for the story and also requires lot of work for no real benefit, other than your gender being different. Nobody should care in games about your personal gender, its not about you.

And on a personal experience in the forums, what’s really bad is, if developers don’t do it, then those people get toxic and attack everyone in the communities for not doing it. Also spamming at every post about this, even if its offtopic.

However I can understand asking for this in games where you roleplay you as a character, or even if there is a character creator. Especially in games like Cyberpunk it makes 100% sense to include these as options. So I am not talking about those kind of games.

I trust System76 more than I do trust GNOME.

But they have influence on the games I do play (and spam the forums too). They don’t let us enjoy by forcing their gender (and sexual orientation) into games where it does not belong to. Mind you, I am not talking about roleplaying games where it makes sense, like Cyberpunk.

I don’t care what sexuality people have. Let videogames be videogames and not controlled by some preference of sexual orientation.

I think it was Verbatim, but I’m not sure. Yes there was a “scandal” or “drama”. I don’t know the details. But just because one company decided to go that route does not mean the entire format is bad. There are other companies too.

M-Disc format is probably the best form of archiving data long term. But the discs are not cheap and you need a “burner” for it too (and a reader everywhere you want to read it) Edit: Correction, these discs should be readable by normal DVD and BlueRay players, but not all. There are DVDs and BlueRay discs with this format. If price is not the biggest issue and if you don’t want to archive often terabytes of data, this could be a solution to long term archival of important data.

A quick look in Amazon (Germany) the cheapest option has a 6 x BlueRay spindle with each 100gb for about 54 Euros (at a discount). Just to give an idea; usually this stuff is more expensive.

I don’t know the exact process, but I think its still based on the original, with the changes and additions on top of it. So it depends on the FreeTube team to keep up. I imagine its similar how the Firefox forks work, that still depend on the original Firefox.

If “even an old Intel HD 770 can allegedly run the shader at well over 800 FPS at 1080p”, wouldn’t a modern bultin iGPU in the CPU enough to run at 240 FPS as an alternative to a dedicated GPU?

You could suggest it to the new fork. Maybe he implements it.

How is that a paradox? It’s like saying its a paradox that cameras on phone made it much easier to photograph and as a result, people make more photos. That isn’t a paradox, that is natural. Same for writing software.

And how do you come to this conclusion with a certainty, that you can say that in a forum? I don’t think he will, there is no evidence for that. Or does he have a bad track record?

Isn’t this a good thing? Similar to Valve, now the owner of GOG should be independent and not try to please share holders. He is the original founder, so its not like some random ex EA CEO or someone rich from Arabia or like that. Unless there is evidence, I give him the benefit of doubt and hope for the best.

And hopefully he will support Linux… but that is a bit of random thought.

I say always, if you can wait, then you probably don’t need it right now. Then wait. Otherwise, we don’t know much and how it will compare, and if its worth the price. So we cannot see in the future. If you are unsure, wait and see how it compares. If you need it badly now, just buy the current one.

Valve can count to 3.

SteamOS 3.

So its more a general question how to backup (with versioning) these files. I just always wondered what “manage” in this context meant. I don’t handle them differently than any other file to backup.

I don’t understand what to manage about dotfiles. You mean backups?
