I'm honesty sitting here trying to remember the last Ubisoft game I actually enjoyed. And I mean truly "couldn't put down" enjoyed. Some of the older Assassin's Creed games were fun, but the same endless gameplay loop was meh, even then.

I'd almost have to go back all the way to those original Rainbow Six games for something that felt (to me) fresh and innovative.

You mean making the exact same cookie-cutter game loop for more than a decade isn't a good idea!?

Not a full on extinction event, but the late bronze age collapse has always fascinated me. So much do that it led me to pursue archaeology in college.

So many theories, everyone has their favourite, but yeah, what ultimately caused every near eastern civilisation as well as the Mycenaean Greeks to just all collapse and disappear over a relatively short 200 years or so (archaeologically speaking a blink-of-an-eye)

He also calls her a Fascist and a Communist; completely oblivious to the fact that those are three very separate things...

He's an idiot who shouts out whatever strings of words he thinks will make his smooth brained followers hoot and howl.

I'm not excusing it by any means. I'm just saying he doesn't actually know what the fuck he's saying, so its not worth the oxygen to even try to respond to it.

Oh no no. That's not what I mean. Its not about that old chestnut of "It'll make kids violent!" (It won't)

its just realistic, modern war games against realistic depictions of contemporary humans is just something that I find distasteful to be used as "goofy fun with friends"

Its like playing paintball in a church.

It's depressing.

 

This is a relatively new issue, although I don't recall any recent updates that would have caused it.

When I plug in a USB stick or other device, the disk and device manager pops up twice; one is the normal one away from the edge of the screen, it goes away after about five seconds (like it should)

The second, behind it, is tucked up right against the edge of the screen and does not go away until I trigger and then minimize my application launcher.

Any ideas? I'm running Wayland because of the Maalit keyboard. Haven't tried to see if it duplicates it with X11.

 

Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations.

Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc...

 

I can't even imagine writing long form on a touch keyboard. But with a lot of people eschewing laptops/desktops for their mobile devices, it's really just a matter of time.

edited: Missed a "T" in the title.

 

So....I updated my Manjaro to Plasma 6. Any chance that Minimal Menu (or something similar) exists?

I was not happy to find it gone. It's been a part of my system for so long that I honestly just forgot it wasn't default.

Now it doesn't even show up in the widget search and I'm honestly not sure I can live without it, largely because I can choose to centre it in the display on launch rather than having to choose either a) full-screen or b) right above the icon.

I can't even describe how upsetting it was to reboot after the update....

 

...but its robot designs were well ahead of the curve for the time.

 

Just popping in to post about a community to discuss FOSS creative software like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Kdenlive, Blender, etc...

https://lemmy.ca/c/open_creative

I've used them all at one time or another. Since moving to FOSS as much as possible ten years ago, I've learned a LOT about most of the programs, and consider myself a near expert in some (Kdenlive, GIMP) and fairly competent in others (Blender, Scribus).

I feel like having a place where anyone who uses FOSS creative software can both ask questions, share advice, and celebrate each others works, would be a nice addition to the Fediverse.

So feel free to join and post your work, your questions, your news or your tips and tricks.

I'm a one man band as far as modding and maintaining for now, so thanks in advance for your patience while I learn how it all works on the back end.

 

The tl;dr bot that pops up on every link to an article on Lemmy is depriving those websites of clicks, which deprives them of ad revenue.

The only thing that will accomplish is forcing those websites to do the very thing that we rail about; replacing their writers with crappy A.I because they can't afford to pay for actual content.

We rail against the enshitification of the internet, but when there's a legitimate way to fight back by giving these websites a page view/read/click etc... so that they can attract advertisers, we would rather have a bot summarize it for us, giving them nothing.

 

I feel like I've come a long way, but still feel like I have a long way to go before I feel truly good.

 

Stumbling a bit on how to get some animations to work correctly, (gauges and gear doors where the local axis doesn't line up with the global axis). But making some good progress on getting the details modelled in.

Does Jerboa's search function only work for communities or am I don't something wrong?

On the web, as well as other apps, a search brings up the choice between communities, users, comments and posts.

Haven't been able to make that work on Jerboa.

 

As the title says...
