Quoting: rammaWhy's it a waste of space? Are you getting two title bars?

no i don't. Its waste of space to have the channel name and things up there on top toghether with min,max,close.
Before they added that, it was just starting from where the searchbar is. So i could toggle my WM titlebar off and It was fine. now i cant disable the discords own titlebar.

I'm more of a GNOME fan but KDE has been killing it lately, and deserves all the success they've gotten! I'm glad we have multiple high quality and future proof desktops with strong ecosystems around them.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOOO

holy shit this is so awesome. My buddy and I absolutely loved playing Dusk on the couch together last year. Can't wait for this one! This is now my number 1 most anticipated couch game!

Quoting: mylkahow much is VALVE contributing?
since the steam deck and soon steam machine,

The Frame uses Plasma too !

Quoting: GerarderloperTechnically Valve don't use Plasma, its just a fallback DE which they could use GNOME or anything else.

SteamOS is built with Plasma, it's not a fallback, its their desktop DE of choice.

Quoting: suchLooks very much like those Java DOOM and Wolfenstein rpgs.

Absolutely!

Those Id Software titles, like DOOM RPG and Orcs & Elves, were truly groundbreaking for their time on mobile phones. The way they combined those complex worlds with an engaging turn-based RPG system was brilliant. They have certainly remained very dear to me.

I am definitely wishlisting this one!

Quoting: Tethys84I've heard nothing but bad things about this game. That the monetization is predatory, and that it's totally a P2W game. I see this and World of Warships get mentioned together a lot as games to avoid.

It's not as bad as some, predatory? meh, however it is hard to earn DECENT returns (lions) without premium account status. Can make certain tiers and vehicles nothing but a waste to play. (because their repair or ammo cost outstrips returns)

I would say its quite rough for NEW comers because they have gradually made it MUCH more grinding over the decade then how it was originality. I mean I basically unlocked everything up to tier5 at one point but now I would probably not be able to unlock a single tier5 unless I played 10hrs a day 7 days a week, lol

Looks great, and always happy to steal from the rich (also in virtual worlds).

Do I understand it right and Paramount is still more or less "classical" film company? I know they have a Paramount+ service but they seems to continue to release a lot of movies in cinemas. If so, I will definitely root for them.

Paramount, fighto!

:).

It feels like KDE really leveled up with the release of Plasma 6. Just a consistent stream of great improvements and high quality releases. I think peoples willingness to donate is a sign of how intune KDE is with the community. I am so happy for their success

Man, I was *really* hoping the sequel would be co-op. 😔

Quoting: scaineSelfishly, I have Netflix (albeit debating keeping it much longer after I ditched Spotify a couple of months ago), and won't ever take Paramount, so hopefully this hostile bid fails completely. Also, as others have noted, this is backed by Jared Kushner apparently - Trump's step-son, with additional backing from the middle east.

According to the FT, Paramount are on the hook for only (!) $12bn, while $24bn is secured through several middle eastern sovereign wealth funds (who are still separately diversifying from oil through initiatives like PIF's investment in EA e-gaming), and the remainder is a debt through a combined commitment from the Bank of America, Citigroup, and Apollo.

Why's the middle east always involved when Trump's kids buy something.
Can't they mix it up a bit: [tech](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5569197-major-companies-fund-whitehouse/) [titans](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/08/07/tim-cook-trump-gift/85555805007/), [Russian](https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/russian-financial-ties-to-trump-last-40-years-7d4e9f) [oligarchs](https://themoscowproject.org/collusion-chapter/chapter-1/index.html), [drug lords](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2025/11/25/trumps-crypto-cronies-they-sent-the-president-money-and-got-off-easy/) or [the Chinese](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-money-china-president-hotels-town-hall-1859710).
Their dad has received money and gifts from all of these groups, why can't they do it?

Well, that looks like one of the most blatant copies of the Factorio mechanics so far. No too surprising for a Factorio modder I suppose, but at this point I don't see anything there that hasn't already been done in Factorio mods. And we'll have to see how well they fare at copying the engine.

Nice, I very much enjoyed the first two Darkside Detective games so will certainly play this one upon release. Decent puzzles with amusing dialogue mixed in.

I also note the first game is currently free to claim on Epic Games.

Rome-Total War
will always have a nostalgic place in my heart.
I played it as a kid. I sucked at it and it had some interesting bugs, but I sank so much time in it.

Spoiler, click me

The most interesting one was in my opinion the fact that it crashed after an hour, my screen time just happened to be an hour. I did some research to the system and asked my father several times, but it appears this was a genuine bug.

Also I didn't read the patch notes when they upgraded the ai to be smart enough to not wait and be hammered to smithereens by catapults, but instead do a step back, so they were out of reach.

Kde will most certainly get its share of my yearly open source donations.

I may not get along with plasma, but there's still a fairly long list of kde stuff that I am using on my xfce installs, from okular all the way down to kupfer.

Recent (for me) high point: kdeconnect.

I donated as well. KDE team is doing an amazing job!

sad that you can't disable the discords own titlebar

Agreed, I prefer the app to use my window manager's titlebar. The new one is missing some features like "middle click to maximize the app vertically"

Yeah okay this is VERY interesting to me.

Wait. Is it the same bug I've been having for months, where every time the mouse cursor appeared/disappeared, the game had a random chance to crash? I posted about it on Reddit a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/oTYhDYeb1p

It's been absolutely driving me crazy, I can't wait to get home and see if that's actually it

Must have been a WoT player...

I have been playing WT for 11 years now (exclusively on Linux) and can assure you that it is anything but P2W*. Investing real money reduces the grind considerably. That's pretty much all there is. As far as monetization goes: I do have a premium account which you get twice a year for a 50% discount, which comes then down to about 30 Euros per year. That's it. Every now and then I might buy a premium vehicle (again when there is a sale).
If you don't want to invest any money stick to tiers I to IV and just have a good time. At these stages the grind is easy to endure.

[*]As for P2W: Sales season can be horrible. Your team can be full of noobs in their shiny premium vehicles which they somehow believe are "better" (which they rarely are), only to get slaughtered by experienced players already accustomed to the peculiarities of high tier battles.

Quoting: tohur

Quoting: tpauI wish we could replace this with element&matrix.

sadly will NEVER happen as will never be enough people using either to gain traction

I just read an article that governments are interested in using Matrix - and funding it.
