No issues here with a Steam controller.

I've gotten through the first boss so far, really enjoying it ^_^ The narrative feels like a mix of Zelda and Super brothers Sword and Sorcery. The boss fight was quite Dark Soulsy; very satisfying and challenging. The visuals are georgous, though I too am a sucker for some good pixel art. :B

Quoting: ShmerlRight, some pods have it, not all. My point is, it's a feature that diaspora* supports, but it's up to the podmin to set up XMPP server and pair it with diaspora*.
Took me a bit to realize Diaspora* literally has an asterisk in it's name; I kept looking for a footnote in your posts XD

I appreciate the info, but I never used their crypto in the first place, just regular chat o3o Even though I advocate for privacy, I'm more concerned with getting legislation passed to prevent such invasions in the first place, rather than worry if my specific conversations with my girlfriend is encrypted.

Whatever your reason for securing your communications, I respect that. However, outside of that, Telegram is a fantastic program for those just concerned with talking to each other.

My girlfriend and I recently found Telegram after having troubles on my end with the horribly outdated Linux Skype client; e.g. buggy, no instant image sharing, etc. I heartily recommend Telegram for those not put off by the lack of FOSS servers. It has all the features one can expect, sharing images, animated Gifs, videos and links within the app, an Android app, and most importantly: They keep it up to date across all OS's! ^^

I was quite surprised when I saw GOL now has a Telegram feed, but I'm not complaining :P

Maybe Techland just has trouble going through feedback :P


XCOM 2 patched for Linux, and Anarchy’s Children DLC now available
23 Mar 2016 at 2:48 am UTC

Quoting: Mountain ManI installed 364.12, and I'm getting an "unsupported driver" warning when starting XCOM 2. The game still works, but I did notice some slight hitching that wasn't there before. It could be due to the patch, but I'm rolling back to 358.16 for now.
I got the same message in 361.18; dunno if it's significant or not o3o

Nvidia 364.12 released for Linux with official Vulkan, Mir & Wayland support

Once it's on Ubuntu's drivers PPA I'll be sure to try it out :) Pretty disappointed if that bug that seems to effect Valve Games in particular persists.

Police Infinity, an interesting looking FPS coming to Early Access & Linux soon
