Quoting: nenoroBG3 aka Horny game made by horny polish devs.

Belgian actually.

No idea about the state of arousal in that country.

I'm trying to think of a country where one might reasonably expect devs not to be horny and I'm drawing a blank. Even in Japan, with the population decline and all, the devs are very likely horny--just for 2d things or robots rather than stuff that will result in having a proper Japanese dysfunctional family life . . .

Quoting: LoftyNintendo make money off of selling hardware and of course a few of their exclusive IP's. You being able to emulate switch on PC won't hurt them one bit, but everyone else doing it with consummate ease en-mass & on a steam deck in higher quality which is just a much better switch like platform would and eventually probably will destroy Nintendo.

Maybe, but that's not the customer's problem. Businesses are not entitled to abusive business models simply on the basis that they wouldn't be able to make money on non-abusive business models. That's why we have antitrust laws, child labour laws, product safety laws and on and on. So if the question is "Should businesses have the right to dictate what hardware I use to run software I bought from them?" the answer does not hinge on whether they will lose money from not being able to do it. Nor does it have anything to do with whether they put some kind of encryption on it to enforce their ability to so dictate, even if there's a law with a clause that says it's illegal to circumvent their encryption.

And there is an answer to the question. The answer is "No, businesses should not have that right. If I buy something, I should be able to do anything I want with it that isn't illegal for real reasons unconnected with that business' ability to exploit me." In fact, the whole thing where when you buy software you are claimed to have "licensed" it and have to click on a EULA is bullshit from start to finish. I don't sign a EULA when I buy a TV, even though it probably has software in it.

Quoting: Jarmer1 year old son

I need more time!!!!

you'll never get missed time back with your Son so id say spend it there and game later :)

This is true. I did all of Horizon 1 before he was born. I'll take this to heart.

Yeah. Although, especially once he gets a bit older, a bit of balance is important too. It's important to still have your own life--and not just important to you, but in some ways important to him as well.

Well, on the plus side, it's a less silly-sounding name than Ul-wiggle. But on the downside, it's a less silly-sounding name.

There are a couple of interesting lines in those release notes. For instance,

Removed all telemetry.

Quoting: StalePopcornHa! Too bad Sosumi is taken.

I suspect we might see "SoSuMii" pop up when they inevitably go after Dolphin again. :tongue:

If Apple don't sue since they own 'Sosumi,' ironically for same reasons

The owners of Sosumi suing infringing users of the name Sosumi . . . I'd have a hard time keeping a straight face at that trial.

Quoting: wvstolzingSpeaking of GNOME (which I've gone back to using), I recently found out about this issue on the official gitlab: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/issues/52 [External Link] — there seems to be a serious initiative to replace Cantarell as the UI font, with Inter. I really hope this gets carried through.

I pay little attention to fonts. What's the difference between the two?

On gitlab they mention missing glyphs in Cantarell; though that isn't its worst shortcoming, IMHO. The kerning just seems off, and in various combinations, the 'a's, 'e's, and 'l's look as though they're slightly shifted to the left or right; which all result in a jarring, uneven look. There are no italics; and I believe the bold version is missing even more glyphs. Overall it looks amateurish; which isn't surprising, as it was originally designed for a university course assignment, and later fixed up a little to become GNOME's ui font.

Inter's glyphs look a bit too square-ish, I think; but at least they're perfectly consistent; so you don't get the occasional lumpy look. I think elementary os uses it for their UI; it's also becoming popular on webpages -- see, e.g., https://forgejo.org/ [External Link]

Either Noto Sans or Inter would make a better ui font for GNOME, I think -- or even IBM Plex Sans.

Thanks, that does sound worth a change. Cantarell sounds like it might not internationalize that well, too.

I hope that doesn't mean what it sounds like! :tongue:

Dead rodents?

Mind you, those could probably be used for crafting.
