Quoting: grigiI didn't know it even existed :-(

But having the licensing expire after a mere 2 years is ridiculous. Its continued sale will result in continued royalties, I really don't get why :-(

Edit: I read that apparently Paramount/Skydance decided to up Star Trek licensing costs by 2000%
Feels like the "new owners" want to price out the small guy :-(

Not so much that as the entire franchise has long since been driven into the ground and corporate is simply trying to recover anything they can from anywhere.

If we don't slam the door shut on this at the start then we'll never be able to close it later. Simple as.

For the first time in my life I have an opinion on SystemD because. It seems to be the vehicle chosen for this power-grab. Therefore I am switching distros to specifically avoid it.

Typing this on Mint, switching my laptop to MX Linux. Business machine is OpenMandriva, probably also soon to be MX. The machine I'm typing on probably Void.

This thing has insanely cheap Chinese parts inside of it, the motherboard is around 50$'ish. The brand is Jginyue (B450i-Plus/ARGB) I would say avoid this thing if you know what is good for you, these parts are kind of garbage and this thing is insanely over priced for the quality of the parts you get.

It is quite AI sloppy indeed. With properly remade assets, it would be pretty sweet.

Quoting: RTherenI can't help but think "That looks like a record player without the arm" xD

I was thinking hot plate:

Quoting: RTherenI've sent it to a friend of mine who's a huge AitD fan.... he wasn't happy with the quality of this AI slop, at all.

Huh, is that what it is? You mean code, or graphics, or both? I don't care about the gfx (would prefer to keep the classic one), but some UX improvements sound welcome.

16g of ddr4!!! At this price, wow. I haven't looked at component prices in a while, but that's just insane. I'm glad these projects are launching though! More stuff like this the better.

I am surprised they roll their own distro though.

Quoting: Stella16GB VRAM and 16GB RAM is an interesting choice, I'm guessing this was conceived before the great RAMCrisis:tm: and they originally planned to launch with 32/16?
Either way it seems like an interesting and capable piece of hardware that should be quite a bit more powerful than the Steam Machine proper and the VRAM should give it considerable longevity

It's using DDR4, so they probably thought that would help, but now those prices have skyrocketed too.

And here I thought Star Citizen was a disgusting cash grab.

Presumably you only buy one of the £30 ships and not, like, all of them?? Hopefully?

KWin now supports the Wayland session management protocol! This is an important step for apps to be able to remember their sizes and positions after restarting the system.

Thank God, I really could use that feature! Having to rearrange my Firefox windows every day is really annoying.

Per-screen virtual desktops are the only thing I was missing, KDE Plasma is now the perfect DE as far as I'm concerned.

Wayland remembering where windows are positioned is the last feature missing from X, for me. It really annoys me that all windows open in the centre of the screen.

Except Steam. It doesn't care about desktop managers or theming or whatnot. Does what it likes. 😅

i made per screen virtual desktops too on sway with some python scripting

Great news! 😊👍🔥

If it also remembers what screen and desktop windows were placed at it's the best thing since sliced bread, because it means no more window rules for the most part

They could have remastered the sound too 😅

I played a couple of these with portmaster with my odroid go advance, and are good. Specially for the price.

Cool, hopefully it's added to Luxtorpeda soon. :-)

Kind of surprised it took so long with such low player counts the last years.
Played it for a while ages ago - might drop in for a last hurra then.

Ah, I remember Star Conflict, played that a really long time ago. I liked it well enough, but didn't stick with it.

Huh. I think i played that one for a bit. It was decently fun, but i'm a rather social gamer and none of my friends stuck long with it.

Quoting: CaldathrasI wonder if it might be Proton-CachyOS that is creating the perception that games run better in CachyOS?

I don't think they do run better there. But from what I gathered, CachyOS is incorporating a bunch of stuff that's work in progress but developed openly. I.e. let's say they see someone is working on feature X and published the early version of it for testing. Feature X is intended to improve performance.

What CachyOS does it taking it and releasing it before the feature is even ready from perspective of developers who work on it. That makes it appear "better" but it's really not. I call distros that use such approach - "hype distros". It's somewhat cringe, since they get the credit for work that other people are doing simply because many people don't realize how this is happening, and it's not really fair.

I.e. in the end, when feature is out, all distros will have it. But CachyOS "jumps the gun" with half cooked stuff which creates the false perception of it somehow being better. Unreleased things are unreleased until proper time usually for valid reasons.
