That one is pretty much dead due to a hostile takeover. People moved to polymc, the after the Dev went crazy and alienated people, they moved to prism launcher. That’s where theajority of the Multi/PolyMC Devs are now.

If that were true, all the airport runways would need to have their runways numbers changed ASAP… with the exception of Canada’s runways, as they changed theirs to follow true north and not magnetic north.

Sometimes you can have great success using the wires that are already in your walls, provided it’s in good nick and isn’t isolated. Try a powerline adaptor.

Otherwise, do like i did and run a 50m cable halfway around the house.

In my country it’s bad in a different way - there are no single owner landlords that actually manage their lads, they all hand it over to a management company.

I miss the days where you could find a landlord who was an old Italian dude who would manage it all himself. My parents had multiple rentals that was like that. One of them the landlord lived across the street. And all of them the properties were well maintained and we could actually get stuff fixed. And half the time we’d end up staying there 2-6 years longer than the lease agreement.

Now you can’t find that to save your life, our current house, sure rent is comparatively low as we got in before the rental crisis. But they don’t fix shit and when they do, it’s half assed and dad ends up having to fix the fix.

The lack of communication and human connection between tenant and landlord results in problematic treatment and negligence. That connection honestly keept the landlord honest. We were friends with all our single owner self managed landlords, and any inspections we had usually meant cracking a beer in the backyard.

I just put my phone across the room. Alarm goes off and I have to get up to turn it off.

Though now I have a habit of pressing snooze once and diving back into bed.

But as a result I only ever press snooze once, because forcing me to get up to snooze it kinda turned the one 10 min snooze into a quick power nap, so I get up the second time and I’m always instantly wide awake.

Licencing and subscriptions are generally the same thing.

When you get a subscription, you’re paying a regular payment to have a licence to use the product. Stop paying? Licence revoked.

In a normal setup, you pay once for a licence.

The terms of the licence dictate how you can use the software, and what happens when you break those rules.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I’m willing to bet this won’t affect the AAA companies - they almost certainly have exclusive licencing deals already.

Released… more like re-leased.

None of China’s big business truly own their assets. The government no matter what has complete unilateral decision making on any private company owned in China. It’s do what as your told, or fuck off. You only have autonomy so long as you go with the desires of the party. You step on their toes, that’s it, they will force you out or force you to co-operate.

In fact the CCP has a large percentage of ownership in many “private” businesses, it’s just very well disguised. It’s why the communist Congress is full of rich fucks, they centralised the wealth and the power.

We essentially have a 2 party system. The government has the power, the big business has the money. As a result there essentially ends up being a lot of trading money for power and vice versa, because we never properly imposed and enforced rules and laws to prevent that.

Except this licencing change removes sustainability from all licencing models except the ones that run subscription models or advertising.

Now they say they aren’t going to impose this crap over any not for profit or for profit that’s earning revenue under 200K. But I have serious doubts that certain scenarios are going to slip through the cracks.

What it is essentially a way to bleed any viral indie game studio dry of their capital, which could force them to declare bankruptcy and sell off their assets.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a way to build a unity game studio.

  1. Game goes viral and reaches the threshold of 200K+ revenue
  2. Every install and reinstall of the game gets charged, costs start to outweigh profits.
  3. Money drains fast with no way to stop it.
  4. Indie company declares bankruptcy due to cash flow issues
  5. Unity demands payment for unpaid bills in assets - gets the ownership of game title as payment.
  6. Unity opens game studio and continues to sell the game, while employing minimal Devs to maintain it.

Bam! they’ve a bunch of viral hits completely for free under their umbrella in a bunch of payments. And because they own the engine, they can make money hand over fist while stopping everyone else from doing the same.

That said I’m sure they have separate payment and licencing deals with big AAA companies. So really it’s only the indie companies that end up with a viral hit that get screwed.

So the other option is that they do not open a game studio and they’re merely just doing big techs dirty work and taking out their competition, while providing IP fire sales for big tech.

That said, once the company goes after a group for failure to pay this money, I wouldn’t be surprised if a legal fight ensued in order to declare the terms of service unenforceable and/or anti consumer and have them nullified or forcibly rewritten/reverted. If that happens I’m sure the EFF or other non profit software foundation will end up providing legal funding and or services. Heck it could end up being a class action.

I like USB type C, it’s a great connector and lightyears better than micro-b, or even micro-b 3.0 but the biggest issue I’ve come across is that it’s so easy to get dirt in the phone connector.

In fact a couple months back I had to sit there with a super thin safety pin and clean all the compacted shmutz that had gotten in my phone connector, bexause it was so bad the clamp wasn’t engaging at all, and cables were getting more and more unreliable. Once I got it cleaned every cable I’ve ever bought worked perfectly.

Ive never seen the dirt issue or the clamp mechanism breaking on a lightning connector before - neither on my parents phones, or on the spare phone we keep as one of those old backup phones if someone’s phone gets smashed or drowned. But it’s not really saying much as I never kept the backup phone for long, as I hate apple and iPhones, so it’s entirely possible that under longer term use with me specifically that it could’ve got broken or dirty due to my uniquely rough way of handling things .

my current pixel 3a has a thick protective case, which has kept it mostly undamaged over the years I’ve had it, despite many drop events. The only thing that has stopped working on it was the NFC reader, and so far I’ve managed to avoid breaking the screen. I’ll probably keep using it till it stops functioning at this rate, as options for new phones don’t really fit my needs or wants.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Huh, I guess you’ve proved me wrong with that one. I will say though I wonder which one is easier to clean out. Can someone whose done both comment?

It’s time to chuck unity in the bin. If not Godot, go for unreal… though I would check their requirements beforehand first.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Also, what counts as an install? Ive seen many unity based games that don’t have an installer and just run standalone? Would a standalone game count as already installed? Is it a first run thing in that case? Honestly this, and the additional clarification raises more questions than it answers?

Da_Boom,

Unfortunately they probably have detection methods for that, so have fun trying to work around that.

That’s more to do with the version of WideVine DRM your browser has - the DRM in Firefox is neutered so the chrome will always give the best experience. Why? Because the WideVine DRM is owned by Google.

The problem with blue products, isn’t the quality but rather it’s the price, you can get so much more for the same amount of money as a snowball or yeti.

As for it being too sensitive, try turning it down andoving closer to it, or just using a noise gate, or even noise reduction (like rnnoise based or RTX voice). There are plenty of options for tuning a microphone for better quality. And you don’t have to go for the manufacturers software.

Personally I have a Audio interface with an XLR AT2020, and my noise gate and compressor plugin chain running on Carla works fine for what I have on my Linux setup, but you don’t even have to go that far. All you need is something like voicemod, voicemeeter, EasyEffects or noisetorch or other standalone setups.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Ahh, a noise reduction setup like rnnoise (noisetorch) might actually help you with that - you can use it to replace the noisegate, as it has voice activation detection which works like a noisegate

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

If you are willing to switch to Pipewire, try EasyEffects, it might work better as it’s based off of pulse effects, but for Pipewire, it’s actually developed by the original Devs of pulse effects - in fact the original pulse effects repo is now the easy effects repo, the old pulse effects hasn’t actually been updated for an entire year now, so you might notice it working less and less well.

To me, Pipewire is the best option for audio on Linux at the moment, it combines the power and low latency of JACK with the ease of use, and multiple device capability of PulseAudio, it really is a great project and is pretty much rock solid at this point in time. It might also fix your issues with pulseeffects/EasyEffects not recognising your microphone.

Honestly, I still don’t use flatpaks for specific things - namely OBS, as I have a Blackmagic capture card, and the flatpak version of OBS won’t support it due to how the BMD driver is required to be installed. Sure it’s good for a lot of things, but sometimes the other options are better for your purposes. I still use the AUR Tytan652 version.

Here in Australia, I think it would actually work quite well, particularly in rural areas… then again all our service stations are pretty much convenience stores where you can buy fuel. Many of them you can buy a coffee and baked goods as well, some even have full restaurants.

Da_Boom,

Yep, and the FAA is taking it’s sweet time to approve a new unleaded fuel for general aviation that shows a lot of promise called G100UL. It’s estimated it could take another 6-9 years. Otherwise it’s currently only approved for specific planes and not available at most airports and aerodromes.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

No, G100UL is still going through the FAA approval process. But it’s been approved for many specific engines already, but the majority still aren’t allowed to use it. For a full FAA approval we could be waiting another 6-9 years.

The Next big problem is availability, which will only come with time. There are only a few airfields around that stock the fuel. (And from what I can tell… none that are here in Australia)

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Or better still, skip the airpark and get a lake front property with a seaplane and a boat.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Interesting, now I guess we need general availability and maybe a ban on leaded fuels. Still gonna take some number of years before that happens, especially given the vast majority of oil companies don’t really care all that much.

Also now the FAA approved it, we just need every other agency in every other country to also approve it, should be a lot easier to do so now the FAA has and has the test data to offer.

Da_Boom,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Eh, if you’re living in a air park like that one, chances are you’re a planespotter or an aircraft owner/pilot yourself, I’ll wager the sound is music to those guys ears. I certainly doubt anyone will complane, I mean they should know exactly what they signed up for.

No, you read it right, UNICOM

Or UNIversal COMmunications

Also known as CTAF, or

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency.

Basically the frequency you use when you’re in uncontrolled airspace.

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion. It might be a devisive one, but it’s far from unpopular.

Honestly I’m not sure where I stand with it. Sometimes I hate it, sometimes I don’t notice it, and other times I don’t care. I have blocked the lemmit bot however - before I did so, it felt like every other post I saw had many upvotes and no comments.

Basically if a post I’m interested in has comments, then I’ll read the comments and maybe even participate in them. But if it doesn’t I won’t. If I see a bot post too many things that never sees comments, I’ll block it so it doesn’t encroach on my feed and make it feel dead.

There’s no way windows would’ve deleted your dual boot partition, your Linux bootloader? Yes ive seen it do that a hundred times over, but I have never seen it overwrite an entire Linux EXT4 partition. The only time it would do that is if you installed it after installing Linux and did a reccomended install instead of a custom install.
