    That’s a bummer. I’ve been using the forked version as well, and even that dev has been annoyed with Google Play enough that it’s only released on F-Droid nowadays.

    Personally, I don’t think it’s an issue only releasing only on F-Droid, because the people interested in Syncthing wouldn’t be deterred by that if they’re not already using it, but I totally get why that might sap the last bit of motivation the dev has.


  • I’ve made similar coasters a while ago, just with a stone tile as the base. Despite having to endure a cup of hot tea every day, it’s holding up very well so far and stays clean.

    The PETG did minimally deform after months of using it, which is both good and bad. On one hand it’s now formed in a way that perfectly fits the specific cup I use, but that also means that it’s become a bad fit for every other cup or glass.

    Your comment about using TPU has given me the idea however to make the tile reversible with the current PETG on one side and Flex material on the other.

    I’d be more concerned as well if this would be an over-night change, but I’d say that the rollout is slow and gradual enough that giving it more time would just lead to more procrastination instead, rather than finding solutions. Particularly for those following the news, which all sysadmins should, the reduction in certificate lifespan over time has been going on for a while now with a clear goal of automation becoming the only viable path forward.

    I’ll also go out on a limb and make a guess that a not insignificant amount of people only think that their “special” case can’t be automated. I wouldn’t even be surprised if many of those could be solved by a bog-standard reverse-proxy setup.

    Part of this might be my general disdain towards sysadmins who don’t know the first thing about technology and security, but I can’t help but notice that article is weirdly biased:

    Over the past couple of days, these unsung heroes who keep the internet up and running flocked to Reddit to bemoan their soon-to-be increasing workload.

    Kind of weird to praise random Reddit users who might or might not actually sysadmins that much for not keeping up with the news, or put any kind of importance onto Reddit comments in the first place.

    Personally, I’m much more partial to the opinions of actual security researchers and hope this passes. All publicly used services should use automated renewals with short lifespans. If this isn’t possible for internal devices some weird reason, that’s what private CAs are for.

    I see. So it’s less about editing the pictures themself, and more about what they’ll be used for.

    And yeah, Krita is main image editing and drawing tool as well, helped out by Inkscape for vector graphics and Aseprite for pixel art.

    Instead, I think Krita has a good chance of moving into photo editing with enough funding.

    As someone who doesn’t really do photo editing, one thing I never quite understood is what’s missing for that to be viable right now.

    For reference, the one time I had to edit a photo a few years ago, I just used Krita to move/remove a few objects and do some basic color grading. It didn’t feel like there was anything missing.

    Granted, I never used software like Photoshop either.




  • Striking YT channels, expanding their Palworld lawsuit and now this? There’s no denying that they wasn’t always pretty litigious, but they’re picking up speed at an absurd pace. Did recently they hire some of Oracles lawyers or what?

    Good thing there’s now enough competition in the handheld market, so I’m no longer reliant on their under-powered devices.


  • However, that was also my experience playing games like this back in the day

    Exactly my experience as well. It’s very reminiscent of that time when I was given a GBA emulator with a bunch of US and JP roms without any explanation. I didn’t know what an emulator is, or that there were game consoles other than the GBC. I didn’t knew my way around English either and Japanese looked like some sort of bug to me.

    There’s just something stumbling through a big library and slowly making inroads in your favorite titles.


  • Under the constraint that I’m only picking from developers who already have multiple games under their belt, it’d be hard to choose between Zachtronics and Supergiant for me. Both of them have a perfect track record in my book. The only difference being that there most likely won’t be any new releases from Zachtronics anymore, whereas Supergiant is only becoming stronger with each release.


  • Yeah, while there’s some truth to the joke that Win32 is the most stable Linux API that’s still a big downside to the current Linux landscape.

    That said, I don’t think Microsoft is currently in a position to enforce drastic changes to their ecosystem, mostly because the desktop market has mostly been reduced to business and gaming, and they can’t do anything that affects backwards-compatibility for the business. The only thing that I currently see as an issue is if they boot anti-cheat kernel modules due to the whole Crowdstrike incident and replace it with their own, easy to use, alternative, which then gets used by more devs.

    I really hope that when something like that happens, Linux has already has reached a critical mass, or, failing that, some legislators will care enough to prevent it.





  • That’s always been their plan, but it’s getting hit with Valve Time. My guess is that they won’t do it until all issues the major with NVIDIA GPUs have been fixed, as a public build that doesn’t run properly on a majority of machines wouldn’t go well. The latest driver is pretty good, but the Big Picture mode is still pretty much unusable.

    At the very least they’re currently trying to bring official support over to other handhelds, as they’ve already confirmed that they want to official support for the ROG Ally and pushed out a update to SteamOS for the controller support.

    Ok, now I kind of want this. I only have my PC connected to the TV, so I only need the power button, volume controls, settings and the D-Pad. A specialized cover would make hitting the right buttons in the dark much easier and also remove the ads disguised as buttons.
