Quoting: dziadulewiczbashing snaps has now officially gotten old.

old as the last week... sooooooooooo old.

snap & flat are unusable on my (4 years old) laptop: slow as snails, kilotons of memory needed, bugs/freezing etc.

But yeah, on my 4k€ gear at work, no trouble...
after, you can spam the discussion with your good feelings, saying that's not snap. But whatever, if snap allows bad utilizations, thus it means it is rotten by design.

Will try again in one month on my laptop. With the truly hope to change my mind on snap

edit:
by reading a bit, you find these gems:

(17 September 2021) Ubuntu removed a couple of Snap apps it loaded by default due to their (comparatively) poor performance and quirky behaviour to repo versions.

nice discussion [External Link]
Jorge Castro @castrojo 25 juil. 2021: It just took _10 full seconds_ for 1password to launch on my desktop, in case you were wondering if Canonical is working on performance for snapd.

Alan Pope @popey 25 juil. 2021: They get ignored or dismissed. The CTO flat doesn't believe there's a problem. The team is understanffed and there is no motivation from IoT and enterprise focused people to fix desktop problems. Been trying from the inside for *years*. I gave up hope and left.

but it is soooooo old bashing snap :whistle:

Quoting: TheSHEEEPInstead, the point is that developers should keep their personal opinions and views where they belong (various discussion platforms exist for that purpose) and not taint an entertainment product in order to try and shove their views down the audience's throat via (usually very thinly veiled) pandering, preaching and self-insertions.
Stuff like that is insidious and disgusting.

This writing is so cute of naivety and philosophical, political and ethical ignorance that I wonder if you were trolling considering your pseudo or making second degree humor?

People that claims to not communicate on personal opinions about politics, world state(economic, ecological,...) were already said by Plato as "very political" (so old problem, no new ideas): in fact, they agree and are fine with the current system. And by saying to other to not tell their political opinions in their daily life and products, they ask them to shut up and join their "every thing is fine in our current system view". This is a corner-stone of consequentialism.

Claiming/requesting people to not talk about politics in arts, culture, etc. is thus ultra-political.

Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead.

Quoting: AzPI guess all politicians end up in hell...

yes, but some more than others. If any, Thatcher, Stalin, Hitler, Pinochet, etc. are on the top list.

Quoting: robvvNow, if it had been Corbyn's Techbase then I'd be there ;-)

I wasn't aware that Corbyn ruled and has done concrete harm by his political decisions? But I'm not from UK :)

To go back to the subject, amazing the longevity of all these DoomII revivals. I would mean that 1994 was a singularity year in video game?
For me, it was more 1996 with Civilization II, 1997/1998 with Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven, Diablo and Fallout. And 1999 for multiplayer game (FPS were boring before) with Unreal Tournament.
No a fan of DoomII

I bought the first with discount. What an experience! Instabuy also at remote price: i like the speed, the rogue-lite gameplay, the sound design (crispy!), the variety of weapons, the combo of tactic and skills to win in each new room

Quoting: ExpalphalogTook me maybe 50 hours to get acquainted to the game (more or less). But in the end, CKII became my first game that hit 1000 hours on Steam. :).

Same for me, I accepted to spent 10h on it completely lost...and i gave up. Not understanding all, ok that's fine but after 10h don't understand how to do an army and attack, cannot be able to tell what choice (i already met) results in what consequences.
If I was a teenager or unemployed, may be I could enter it, but with a family and a time-eating job, no way even if it's my cup of tea.
I succeeded to enter Stellaris without those troubles

Is this a tactical move from Unity to strike-back the increasing interest of (open source & new) developers for Godot?

Nice laptop, not fan of 13 inches, I prefer 14 or small 15 for less 1.4 kg. It misses one or two usb port (for one usb-key and one mouse) and one HDMI port (for presentation). Adaptors are not long-term viable solution (get lost, etc.).

I can't wait to see the performances and electricity consumption of those iris Xe in in-gnulinux-game conditions ^^

Quoting: soulsourceI think the Gauls should just have been called Celts.
Would have better fitted the Hallstatt Culture, which, while it also reached Gaul, was by far not limited to that region. Hallstatt itself is considered to be on the border between "western Hallstatt culture" and "eastern Hallstatt culture", and is already located quite a bit east of Gaul...

I think you took the stuff in the inverse sense they had: they first defined their civilization as Gauls and try to find specificities with keywords, which came through 'Hallstatt' to name the wide art style Gauls developed. Ambiorix is quite an anonymous king in Gauls, and archeology already demonstrated that all the tribes didn't consider them as 'Gauls' and showed strong difference in their politics, art and culture. Gauls are construction of Roman historians. Gauls are too complex (and celts at a even higher level) to be united under one civilization. You see that in Hallstatt: you have 'core' and 'influence' area, and the core is defined because German defined it like that. Moreover, by saying Gauls, they target the end of La Tène III period, thus the Gaul as Romans described in their writings, thus corresponding to part of France+Switzerland+South-Belgium+western-Germany.

The most know and powerful Gaul king in the remaining writings was Ambigatos (or Ambigat) king of the Bituriges Cubes, which power, wealth and economics scared and threatened early Roman civilization but also grecs and other Mediterranean civilizations, and German and britains as they raid them every year during the 'raid season' when field works have ended to get cattle, slaves and for fun (in their culture a way to gain prestige). His nephew even conquered, sacked and burned Roma as a challenge at the end of Ambigatos reign and this nephew (Bellovèse)settle down is kind for centuries in the north plain of actual Italy (he built and reigned on Milano, Venice and Torino, and his descendents too, even under Julius Cesar), which structured all the roman politics for centuries afterwards and give so much credit to Julius Cesar when he succeeded, by a trick (he leaned on the threat of the Helvetes from Genova that decided to conquer the eastern Gauls after difficult momentous successions all at the same time in bituriges, sequani and senones, helped by allobroges as spies) to conquer them: he put an end to this sword of Damocles on the head of Romans, only Gauls may threaten them (by its production of wealth, his renown warriors and advanced technologies specially on blacksmithing, war-machines, cavalry technics). We can't understand the early Roman civilization without this 'Gaul menace'- in fact historical alliance between Avernes, Turones, Senones and vassal tribes under the direction of Bituriges, corresponding the center of actual France and Alps western part- that structured all their developments.

end of my course XD

I missed the 'node' modes from UT2004 with vehicles called "Onslaught". As many here, I spent so many hours on UT99 (mostly capture the flag), UT2004 (Onslaught) and UT3 (warfare with titan mod) with friends and unknowns on the net. It nicely mixed FPS with team strategy & tactics. I find this mix of FPS, strategy and tactic recently in APEX:legend and titanfall2, but the idea of controlling multiple nodes are still poorly exploited in the current multiplayer FPS.

The current Unreal Tournament misses those kinds of game. Capture the flag is too frontal, it doesn't allow bypassing, splitting, organizing fast strike-back, pincer attacks, etc.
