I think Deadlock is pretty up there. That said, it’s closer to Smite than it is a hero shooter. The community-driven character builds mean meta is pretty fluid and it has what I would describe as a very accessible MOBA-centered design. I don’t care for MOBAs much, but to say Valve isn’t innovating here would be disingenuous. I think my only problem with it is that it’s lacking something that makes the gameplay loop feel satisfying, but that may just be my bias against MOBAs talking.

Flatpaks are basically containers, allowing applications to maintain their own dependencies separate from your system. It’s similar to a Windows program shipping with its own precompiled DLLs, helping prevent dependenct conflicts when you go to update something you installed with pacman or yay.

Seems to depend on the flavour of Android. What version/brand do you have? I know my Pixel asks first unless I allow it more generally.

You may be looking for the “Instant Apps” settings though. Searching “links” in your Android settinbs should provide a similar result regardless what brand of phone you have though.

That’s not an equivalency. From written paper to typewriters and then to computers, writing has remained a product of the author. A typewriter repair shop would transition from mechanical to electronic typewriters and potentially then to computer repair. This is because it supports an evolving technology.

An author cannot transition to becoming a machine, because they cannot author what they don’t write, but a publisher can continue to publish anything that would make them money. So when human experience is boiled down to nothing more than the probabalistic order of the words written by authors who gave no consent to have their work absorbed and mutilated by an LLM, the only winner is a publishing house seeking cheaper labour than the human.

That one sounds squarely on Nvidia. Any driver that uses undocumented workarounds to gain kernel level access or utilizes an access loophool for system hooks is a bad driver. I’d assume Debian, or likely more accurately the Linux kernel itself was updated following some matter of CVE that Nvidia was quietly abusing.

Frustrating, but a good example of why those kinds of proprietary drivers are such a nightmare. You really just don’t know what techniques they’re using.

Maybe. At the end of the day, I love the design language but not the design philosophy I suppose :(

Yes lmao. I use it to save scratch files or random crap I haven’t yet categorized. Sometimes you’re sifting through scripts or software and are going to delete them anyways, or I’m using it as a gallery pane for images I’m sorting before moving to store somewhere more permanent. I know Gnome’s philosophy preaches a sort of importance on data management, but I’m never a fan of something that tries to make that decision for me.

I love the design for modern Gnome but really wish they hadn’t departed from using your desktop as a folder. Even MacOS isn’t that picky about what you put there. It’s pretty, but I always find I end up moving back to Plasma after a while.

Hardly. I’ve played enough dumpsterfire UE4 ports to know it’s no better if the devs don’t put the effort in.

Powershell’s Get-FileHash does exactly this though.

Biggest difference is that wormhole will pass traffic between devices on different networks as long as both are routable. So it’s not limited to a local network connection.

Ah, I see where I got confused. Yeah, CGNAT isn’t very common around here. I don’t think I’ve ever run into an ISP that uses it. I can see how that complicates things.

You really don’t though. I use wireguard myself under the same scenario without issue. You just need to use some form of dynamic DNS to mitigate the potentially changing IP. Even if you’re using Tailscale you’ll still need to have something running a service all the time anyways, so may as well skip the proxy.

Apologies, I didn’t mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but they’re definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences

Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. It’s unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.

Oh yeah, at the time there was no support for my current registrar. It was a fun enough project to put my own script together anyways.

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but I found registering a cheap domain name and using a dynamic DNS script that checks every hour or so against your public IP to be a good way to mitigate issues. It also depends on your ISP. Mine typically only renews upon a reboot of the modem or a new PPPoE authentication.

Others have also suggested Tailscale, and I think that’s also a worthwhile option. It’s a pretty easy thing to set and forget, working like any oher VPN client. This is the least complex option to navigate, and if Plex was the only service you were forwarding then it’s likely the best option.

Ultimately this change, while frustrating, probably doesn’t change the initial value for those who fit these two categories:

• Needs Windows
• Cares about their privacy

These people were already going to go out of their way to use the OOBE bypass. They still will. This is no more effort thanbit already was.

Microsoft crossed the line already by disallowing offline account creation through their default setup process.

I mean, not really. You had to open command prompt anyways. The command is just a bit different now. There’s no monetary penalty here, just a few more keystrokes.

I agree. For regular user facing tasks, the terminal should be a last resort. I say this as someone who will happily defer to the terminal if I need more advanced control. But when basic configuration is subject to just CLI, it’s not as accessible as it could or should be
