Quoting: benstor214Are you saying that I am off topic? Rude!

Erm?!? No, not at all, my question was a serious one!

Man, how little my knowledge about all this is...

When does SDL have to choose between X and Wayland? If I've got only X running, well, X is it, and if I got Wayland running, I probably wouldn't want SDL to use XWayland? Obviously, it's more complicated, but... why?

Quoting: RaabenThen again I am maybe the only person who still thinks the original fat Xbox controller was the most comfortable one ever made.

(Had to look it up...)

This... THING?

QuoteThe starter $499 price actually seems quite reasonable don't you think?

Curious if that includes, shipping, customs and tax etc.

It's the price when fetching it in Shenzhen. ;)

So.. finished it today. The game is fully voiced in English, and while the visuals are a mixed bag and it's got its share of poo and fart jokes, I found the puzzles to be nothing less than great. Do give the demo a try if you're into point and click!

Quoting: redneckdrowHere's looking at you, GNOME devs, I'm still sore about you relegating desktop icons to a blasted extension! What's the point of an empty desktop?

My computing background is part-Mac (10.3 was where I learned my *nix basics), so I really like an empty desktop. But Xfce lets me have that with a simple toggle - it should never be missing from the desktop-environment entirely, because I know that weirdies like me are a tiny minority!

I do like the desktop metaphor. Having a computer desktop that's not able to hold some files is like having a table desktop that's not able to hold my pencil and some papers. (My humble, of course.)

Then of course, both the computer and the table desktop tend to hold more than some things while time goes by... And in my observation, people having a mess on the computer desktop are the same that have a mess on their real one. :D

Quoting: pbThat reminds of that one time when I wrote a little script for myself to rename photos based on exif data, and a friend wanted me to share it, so I did, and he used it in a slightly different way and lost a bunch of photos. Sharing is caring, but trust no one.

Have to say here: krename is great!

Quoting: thelimeydragonI remember a time when almost all emulators were always free\no paywalls just to try and avoid an avenue of being sued.. then around the time app stores came around, people started trying to charge for them again and I guess because most didn't get any attention/problems it just continued.

I wasn't even aware paying for emulators is a thing.
