Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm starting to see the possibilities here. Can we throw in Pierre Poilievre?

This is looking like a prisoner of war exchange, only instead of prisoners of war you're exchanging war criminals.

I don't like the changes made to the underground after 1.16, so what Microsoft does to Minecraft doesn't interest me at all. As long as I've got 1.12 for GregTech and 1.16 for the newer Nether I'm fine.

Quoting: razing32And once again i have to differ to people that use GOG.
I use Steam for convenience and proton but stories like these make me realize that when push comes to shove its best to have a backup copy of your game.

I think you mean 'defer' rather than 'differ'.

Some games on Steam can be played without Steam account so you can just tarball 'em up and make backups.

Anyway: a game developer getting bought and the buyer screwing over the customers? Colour me surprised. As surprised as I am every day that the sun rises in the east.

I'll be honest, I didn't care overmuch for Croc on the PSX, I was more fond of Crash and Spyro. Still, good to see golden oldies get some love. (Though I have been wondering if my buying remasters of old games is encouraging re-releasing old games over making good new games...)

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo is "Thrustmaster", like, a dildonics company that just diversified into steering wheels, or what?

No, Thrustmaster have been selling flightsticks since the '90s, pivoting (if you'll pardon the pun) to a wider variety of game controllers (gamepads and wheels) around the turn of the millennium. They're not as big a name as Logitech, but they're still quite established.

Okay, I installed it in Tumbleweed from the Factory repo and I gotta say it's useable but I don't like it very much.

The title bars are hilariously oversized, the date format can't be changed, it has dynamic workspaces (which I really can't stand, I vastly prefer having dedicated workspaces for specific applications so I can just press Super+3 to go to Emacs, for example), not being able to change cursor theme is very unfortunate, the keyboard repeat delay goes from 'slow' to 'fast' without any indication what that means and without a test area it's very awkward to try and get right, no hover tooltips for the dock is also very unfortunate...

But all complaining aside, between workspaces per monitor and amazing defaults for keyboard shortcuts (almost all shortcuts use the Super key, which is exactly how I think that should be done), I think Cosmic has the potential to become one of the best desktop environments available. Really looking forward to the next release.

I just hope it's possible to change the clock format to something sensible (I'm partial to '%A %F %R', for example 'Friday 2024-08-09 10:22'). It's the main thing keeping me from using GNOME (there's extensions but those break every time an update comes out, so not worth the hassle).

I probably should try it some time to see if there are any features in it I would like to port to Emacs.

I am also one of the people who prefers the symmetric DualShock layout over the asymmetric layout.

Quoting: basedLoving how the dark blue/purple one looks

Reminds me of the Nintendo Gamecube.
