Regarding The Hyprland & Vaxry Situation in c/linux@lemmy.ml

American culture warriors have decided that their ideology is more important - you see this a lot where their ideology's goal becomes the "greater cause" worth sacrificing the mission: e.g. in journalism.

The SPI is awesome, I wish it were easier to donate internationally too.

Ukraine still allows Russia to send gas through some of their pipelines. Trade is important.

But yeah, the US should really help and pay back some of the huge benefits they've received. Biden could send US troops to Kyiv and Lviv tomorrow if he cared.

Don't people always carry passports anyway? A lot of airlines refuse ID card only travel so it's always too risky IMO.

The only thing more dangerous than being the US's enemy, is being their ally.

The US reaps all the rewards from huge weapons and LNG exports, while refusing to send any troops or even further aid.

They're literally the only major economy with significant growth right now due to that, but offer nothing to help Ukraine or Europe.

Solasta has excellent Steam Deck support btw (lemmy.world)
 

Solasta: Crown of the Magister has incredible Steam Deck support btw and is currently on a 60% sale. I bought it as I have some flights coming up and wanted to get more familiar with D&D5e before BG3 comes out.

Obviously buying it right now is a bit like "we have Baldur's Gate 3 at home..." but I was pleasantly surprised by how great the Steam Deck support is. It's like they must've tested it on the Steam Deck specifically.

There's a few minor issues with small text, but aside from that it's great.

It's awesome to see games get official controller support for the Steam Deck. Hopefully Baldur's Gate 3 will have as great support as well.

What are your favourite offline, low power-usage games? (lemmy.world)
 

I'll be travelling soon and was wondering what are good games for low power-usage and offline?

Previously I enjoyed:

  • Into The Breach
  • Baba Is You
  • Vampire Survivors
  • Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)

At the moment I'm planning to set up:

  • Lufia 2 (SNES)
  • Shadowrun (SNES + Genesis versions)
  • Golden Sun (GBA)
  • A Link To The Past (SNES)
  • Minish Cap (GBA)
  • A Link Between Worlds (NDS) - never played it, hopefully the controls map well!
  • Fire Emblem: Awakening (NDS) - same as above, never had a NDS
  • Oracle Of Ages (GBA)
  • Chrono Trigger (SNES)
  • Ogre Battle 64 (N64) - not sure how bad the power usage is on the N64 emulators

Maybe the Ace Attorney and Professor Layton series too which I haven't played. Also GTA1, London and 2 if they work. I love Advance Wars too but I've played it too many times already.

Basically anything that is easy to run, low power, and easy to play with just the controls and small screen in a cramped space. Ideally nothing too difficult / stressful like Hollow Knight that could be hard to play without good screen brightness or cramped.

I like a lot of older PC games but unfortunately they're difficult to play without a mouse and on the small screen - e.g. Ultima VII and Arx Fatalis.

What are the best providers these days that don't worry about total traffic or hosting small services?

Is there a way to block images from auto-loading in comments? (lemmy.world)
 

Ideally like RES used to be - you have to click on an icon to load and show the image.

Unfortunately this image auto-loading has been frequently used for abuse already. But it is also quite annoying when amongst a lot of text comments and lends itself to low-effort memes.
