Quoting: wvstolzingEDIT: Another perspective puzzler in development - https://twitter.com/mattstark256/status/1213156890475212800?s=20 [External Link] - looks really interesting. The developer has posted a couple more updates in the Summer in his twitter feed.

Oh, thanks for posting this, very cool! Seems to be called Viewfinder [External Link]?

Speaking of interesting puzzle games, I wonder if Miegakure [External Link] will ever be released? It's been in development for 11(!) years now. Not DNF bad, but it is getting up there in years.

Thanks for the link! I was wondering whether the game had a website, because I wasn't able to find a link on the dev's twitter feed. It's very barebones, but something tangible to keep track of.

This looks really interesting to me as a fan of Portal (& I also liked The Witness quite a bit; which also has a good number of perspective puzzles.)

-- it's also on GOG, by the way.

I'm sure this sizzles the hearts of all 80s/90s 'micro' users.

This fellow already has an 'unboxing and review': https://youtu.be/3A7pQN5W08E [External Link]

edit:
This fellow brings up the similarity to early micros: https://youtu.be/P1E5xszQqV8 [External Link]

Quoting: omicron-b

Quoting: ArehandoroI (usually) love fedora, and I love the changes introduced in 33. But the post, and comments so far, seem to miss the most important and controversial changes this iteration includes (for me); systemd-resolved as a default dns daemon.

What's wrong with it?
I believe I have it in Ubuntu 20.04, but I use stubby and DoT, so it was as simple as about 2 lines in terminal to switch to stubby.
Truth be told, stubby may actually crash about once a month and I have to restart it to get back to Internet.
Maybe I need to learn how to use systemd-resolved after all.

Various compatibility issues: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2476 [External Link]
I used it for a while on Arch; FWIW I thought the configuration was really tidy & simple -- though I had to switch back because *some* application -- can't remember what for the life of me, sorry -- kept breaking.

I wonder if Fedora will upgrade to XFCE 4.16 within the 33 cycle. (There's already a copr for it, though I'll stick with the official release.)

I'm fairly calm re: the streaming; but the following is actual footage of me since hearing about youtube-dl: https://youtu.be/l91g5BmipVE [External Link]

Quoting: ValckThey were really well-written, comprehensive, educational text books, not some shoddy three "page" PDF you get these days, IF you are lucky...

Not to mention the available schematics & repair manuals.

For the young ones among us, the scanned manuals on this website should give an idea: https://commodore.bombjack.org/ [External Link]

(It's not only Commodore; but sadly there's nothing from Sinclair; & the Apple collection is a little thin.)

Quoting: ajgpThe way he was tweeting was from as if it was a giant grey area that hadnt been addressed, yet as I Tweeted [External Link] to him companies have already granted streamers the permission to do this without any license.

That's what I've been thinking as well. This 'debate' has already been settled a couple of years ago.

Quoting: TheRiddickI doubt this will happen anytime soon however, it's more likely we will see a Linux Distro spin from Microsoft where it slowly gets native DLL support and other things until one day it just works like windows10.

On a barely related note, there's this project for a library that would allow calling functions from windows dlls from Linux natively: https://github.com/taviso/loadlibrary [External Link]

(When I found out about this I was excited for a moment, that I might be able to circumvent ancient DRM that keeps me from using the damn product I've already paid for years ago .... but then I realized I'm way out of my depth.)

Spoiler, click me

ps. Oh, and the new rainbows-and-ponies microsoft post ballmer can get f*cked as far as I'm concerned. Same with google & apple.

Quoting: aristoriasThese fancy terminal applications eat up an non insignificant amount of CPU resources and don't do much more than ugly ones besides looking pretty.
Maybe it's time to invent a new way to draw in terminals...

Yeah fancy 'tui'-style applications have been a constant source of frustration for me. Not only do they tend to be sluggish, but they get broken in all sorts of ways under tmux.

I'm not convinced either that a desktop user needs to have all that information *continuously* updated on the screen, by the way. There are numerous specialized -top applications that one can run to diagnose something when the need arises. I used to have fully decked-out stats plugins on my system toolbar at all times, but then I realized that I meaningful use of just one (netstats).
