Quoting: Doc AngeloDespite what others suggest, your comments are welcome. Your opinion is valuable as much as the opinion of others, no matter if you agree with the majority or not.

On the internet, there are often discussions like this. The irony most people don't see: If it is true that you can simply ignore any kind of content, no matter how often it is posted, you can ignore posts just the same as comments. But that's not how it is, and the comments that say that you shouldn't comment ironically prove that.

That's quite different. While he can ignore the articles automatically, it's not possible to ignore all such comments in an automated fashion. (I'm not saying anything about if such comments are useful or not, I'm only talking about "automatic" visibility.)

Quoting: ObsidianBlkOn a small tangent here... I really don't get the whole "bloated" flatpak thing. Is there anything other than anecdotal evidence that flatpaks generate that much more "bloat" vs traditional software installations? I mean, most package managers I've worked with, by default, tend to store the compressed images of all the installed packages on your system anyway, so, for each package you install via pacman (in Arch), there's at least 50% (on average) as much space being taken up by a file that sits on your system just in case you need to reinstall it.

You can purge the latter with a single command and have your stuff still working, while flatpaks bring along bloat that they are actually using...

Don't know if this about Snap (calculator) is true for flatpak as well:

Quoting: areamanplaysgameIf you think the only reason not to be a dick is so that other people won't perceive you as a dick, you are mistaken.

The only reason to not be a dick is because I choose to not be one. Any other reason doesn't interest me.

Bye, bye.

Valve will also send me a unit that I ordered,eventually.

He's saying they sent it "...to help the development of Lutris" though.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyHow is 'Surviving Mars' not supported?

The reason is given on the page, something along the lines of "Valve is improving Steam Deck support of the game" - whatever that actually means. But for sure it's gonna be Playable of Verified later.

It's probably something trivial, like the controls or something... I was watching a video from @TheLinuxGamer on Odysee a week or two ago, and he was saying that one of the reasons a game may not be considered "verified" is because of the control setup.

That should move it to "Playable", though. Well, Valve... You never know with them. :-D

I wonder what I would want to play with 15 fps though.
Not even a point and click, right?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI know Windows has a reputation for slowing down over time—primarily due to its dated filesystem—but I wonder if this is still true. Windows as of late seems to be more well-optimized for older hardware.

It's generally seemed to me that the primary reason for the slowdown of Windows over time is registry cruft.

It's long time ago that I had the feeling that Windows would get slower over time. Didn't ever measure, but if it still is, it's at least not hindering me. (Doing work, software development, on Windows 10.)
