Good. I like it when platforms take strong stances about AI.

Minecraft Java finally gets a Friends List and Peer-to-Peer multiplayer

Quoting: kneekoo
Quoting: DraconicroseI needed this 5 years ago :( rented the cheapest servers I could find just to play with one other person.
Setting up a local server with port forwarding was always an option, though. But when the connection itself isn't stable enough, or the PC isn't good enough, neither port forwarding or peer-to-peer can help.
I think I tried that once, but either it worked really badly or I didn't realize I'd done something wrong. 🤷‍♂️

I was hoping for Bloodborne and Ghost of Yotei on PC. Guess I'll just watch let's plays then.

Subnautica 2 is looking good on Desktop Linux, it's okay on Steam Deck with caveats

I've been having such a smooth time on my desktop, including hosting multiplayer for 3 others, that I absolutely forgot this is not a native game!

Quoting: The_Real_BittermanThere are people not using the official flatpak? Geez ...
It's actually news to me, I think last time I checked it still wasn't official, and it had a bunch of issues like shipping an old version of discord for months because the current one used a version of electron that broke something. And of course they had to use some weird hack to make an old version work with current servers.
Then it wasn't the official flat, yes. But it is official since a long time now. I bet there was even an article her on GoL abut it.

Yep, here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/10/discord-for-linux-gets-flathub-verified/ 3 years ago
It's verified but it's not official. Here: https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/issues/343 [External Link]

Just because it's verified it doesn't mean that Discord is actually the ones developing/packaging it and, as a result, the flatpak has issues. There's a reason the flatpak isn't linked anywhere on the official discord website.
You clearly do not know how verifying work on flathub. You have to be the owner of the com.discord domain and add a link to the discord flathub page or at least the PR where you want it to be verified. So someone at discord has put up a link/token on their homepage to link to flathub. So yes it is developed by discord and therefore official. See: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-users/verification [External Link] (or an authorised official 3rd party)

Therefore, what ever you've checked is just plain wrong. Just looking at the maintainers of the github repo doe not tell you anything.

Also the only thing flunky with the flat is that it can not sniff on your running process to show all your servers what your playing or which music you're listening too.

Unless an application specificity uses the discord RPC to tell discord it is running. App -> RPC -> Discord then Discord will show, also the flatpak. What is not working is Discord -> /dev/proc *Sniff, Sniff*
Please follow the link provided to see that it's not wrong. The flatpak is indeed verified by Discord, but it is not developed by them. The link is for a discussion where people are talking about how this has tripped them up, including with Discord support. A big part of the problem IS because apps can verify without actually being the developer.

This one caught my eye when it was just some screenshots. I hope development goes well and they release to at least modest success!
