Steam Nextfest became probably the most exciting gaming event thanks to the sheer abundance of demos. It’s amazing.

We still have demos, on Steam anyway.

What do you even do there? I can almost never find anything to watch on PeerTube.

I give up on having that thing. I’m unemployed, I don’t have any income at all. When I have a well paying job though I’d rather just pay, there are a lot of people I would like to support.

An open Android is perfectly viable, it can even be hardforked if people are that unhappy with what Google did with it over the years.

I think mobile Linux has functional advantages that can make it a lot more desirable, but there is no reason a truly open Android cannot exist.

Another thing auto-correct needs to pay for.

Yup, I wonder if that’s HDMI Forum’s fault though. I hear they are insufferable.

I think an evergreen 8 bit system can be great for gaming an a tight budget. But whater this system will appeal to enough people to justify indefinite support or if the team is even capable of delivering this product remains to be seen.

Very unlikely, but I hope they go “Mario, this sucks actually, so you can’t have it anymore.”

Oh my word, I need to see if this work well with Western comics.

Everything would be so easy if we just had a good local comic reader for smartphones 😭

Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna’s Archive itself is a search engine, it’s better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

There is just nothing to see in Jaguar’s library. The high quality emulator it finally got is more valuable for preservation than for actual gaming.

It took over twenty years just for Linux to enter the conversation at the enthusiast level, it took a lot, and I do mean a lot, of enshittification on Microsoft’s part and decades of campaigning by free software ideologues for us to get to this point, and if Windows still worked like Windows 7 we still wouldn’t be anywhere close.

OpenBSD is super niche relative to FreeBSD, which is super niche relative to Linux. I don’t even know if it was built for desktop use, or if it happens to be usable as one thanks to Linux DEs being compatible so long as they don’t heavily depend on Linux specific stuff. Though I guess it can be a desktop OS in the most conservative sense of that term even without all that stuff.

Ubuntu had issues with it’s snap store as well. I think there will be more security oriented distros in the future like Kodachi, but it’s best to be cautious in general these days.

Not for long, Linux will get targeted like this as it becomes more popular. It’s more of an argument for OpenBSD if anything, since OpenBSD will never be popular on desktop and it’s developers take security very seriously.

What game is that?

I try to degoogle the best I can. When I was shopping for a new phone I went with Xiaomi because those phones used to be famous for their community support, but it seems like those days have passed. Once I discovered that I looked for alternatives that are available where I live and saw they weren’t any better, so I went with Xiaomi anyway.

Until I manage to move to EU and buy a Fairphone using a private, open source smartphone OS won’t be possible.

Celeste is a good contender, Hades II as well.

I don’t see what would be the value in that anymore. I didn’t use a phone with a physical keyboard in a while but I think a virtual 3x3 keyboard would be more comfortable.
