I love the Atari ST and Linux!

GenBlob,

He’s welcoming an audit so now we can wait for the real legal professionals to dig into this. Mutahar uploaded a response but I’m honestly so tired of this situation that I won’t even watch it. Karl and Mutahar should have stopped covering this on their initial videos because at this point it just feels like they’re milking it for money. What jirard did is really bad and they should have left it there for the professionals to handle it. This is a serious case of fraud that youtuber’s shouldn’t be making conclusions on.

GenBlob,

I love seeing stuff like this! I think anyone who is used to windows should try Linux out on a cheap laptop and see how they like it.

Gamers who have gamed for a long time

do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used...

GenBlob,

I lost interest in new releases a while ago. I mainly play retro games now but I did try the new robocop and it was great. I will be getting that day 1 and it will be the first time I played a new release in years.

GenBlob,

Reddit is only good for solutions though search results but do it anyway. Make it worse and worse until people start looking for alternatives.

GenBlob,

Damn. I have dealt with this for so long that I forgot it was even a bug.

GenBlob,

Not necessarily UI but the overuse of javascript on most websites. It makes browsing the web on low power and old devices a nightmare.

GenBlob,

I have seen this same image circulated for years. We need a new one because transmission in D tier is unacceptable.

GenBlob,

Check it out. It’s a really fun game and perfect for the deck.

Twitter is losing daily active users. CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed it. (mashable.com)

By now, you may have heard about Elon Musk’s handpicked CEO for X, Linda Yaccarino, and her disastrous interview with CNBC’s Julia Boorstin at Vox Media’s Code 2023 event. However, somewhat overlooked amid some of the more viral moments of the discussion, Yaccarino dropped some previously unknown stats that don’t exactly...

GenBlob,

Twitter has had nothing but rage bait and engagement bots for a while now and the tweets are so obviously fake that even the general public is slowly starting to catch on. It’s such a cesspool that you would be hard-pressed to find anything remotely entertaining or informative. Instead you will just leave the site with a feeling of disgust and frustration.

GenBlob,

Yeah it’s great, It’s never been a better time to be a Linux user. There’s always something to look forward to and we get more support every year. I’m going to give cosmic a shot when they release it.

GenBlob,

Seeing how he looks now is incredibly sad. I really hope he makes it though this.

GenBlob,

I’m American so to me this looks good.

GenBlob,

That’s reassuring. I thought anyone outside of the US would think this is a disgusting calorie bomb. I mean it is but fuck it, I’ll have it.

GenBlob,

Glad to see another runcat user. It’s a must have extension.

GenBlob,

I will always support valve because of their amazing Linux support but if GOG finally made a client for Linux then I would try to use that more. I wish Epic would also support Linux but with massive douchebag Tim Sweeney running the company, that will never happen.

What do you think of framework and their methods? (frame.work)

We are not sustainableAnd neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on...

GenBlob,

I think they’re the go-to company if you want to get a laptop in 2023. I got my unit back in 2021 and used it every day since, and it has taken quite a beating. It went though several light impacts and one big drop but the only thing to show for it is a small dent on the back.

My only two complaints are

  • After a year, the USB-C cable supplied with the laptop started to split open. I don’t know if this is only a defect in early batches but it’s worth noting.
  • Suspend on Linux is an issue. Linux works great but it doesn’t suspend properly. Putting in this command as root echo “deep” > /sys/power/mem_sleep which makes your system use deep sleep instead of s2idle which solved the issue but waking up from suspend is now 8-10 seconds instead of 2 seconds.

I expect these hardware issues and more to be fixed on newer boards and the framework 16 but I’ll continue to use my 13 and upgrade to an AMD board and use my intel board to make a mini PC. There’s really no reason to buy Dell, HP, or Lenovo anymore now that framework exist and has delivered on all their promises.

GenBlob,

I used the Equilux GTK theme for years but it’s been abandoned since 2018 and GNOME has changed a lot since then. I switched to Colloid and it didn’t take much to tweak it to my liking, mainly reducing the size of the titlebar and panel.

Hyprland is a toxic community (drewdevault.com)

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

GenBlob,

It sucks that cool projects like hyprland are usually riddled with toxic weirdos that ruin it. It also sucks that there’s not much to choose in the wayland space that’s usable and actively developed but I refuse to use hyprland after seeing this.

GenBlob,

There’s no better platform on the fediverse because of how many people are here.

GenBlob,

I wish. Even xfce will get wayland support before they do.

What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don’t perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress...

GenBlob,

The Ooze. My memory on this is fuzzy but on genetics lab part 2, there is a room you can enter that has a checkpoint. If you enter the room then you’re locked inside and if you collect the checkpoint and die, you will respawn back into the room and your only option is to lose all your lives or reset the game. I remember getting really pissed off finding this when I was a kid because I spent days trying to beat the game and I had a really good run up until that moment.

GenBlob,

I’m tired of GNOME messing with it’s API but hopefully this is the last time since they’re switching to a standard system. Besides that, it’s my favorite DE on Linux. I have to give plasma 6 a shot when it comes out but right now GNOME feels just right compared to other desktops.

GenBlob, (edited )

I have been pretty comfortable here because I’m into nerdy things and most of us here are nerds. In fact, the only people that cared about reddit locking down the API were nerds or people jumping on the bandwagon because it was the next big thing. Others didn’t care and just wanted reddit back and a lot of people that were here in the beginning went back to reddit. We will probably grow overtime but there’s no point in wondering why lemmy isn’t more popular, just participate in the communities you like.

GenBlob,

I can’t stand Bluetooth headphones, the delay is unbearable. It’s gotta be wired or 2.4ghz for me.

GenBlob,

If there’s a game that can’t run on Linux in the current year then that’s intentional and it’s not worth anyone’s money.

GenBlob,

Papirus is by far the best icon theme for Linux. It has icons for even the most obscure and niche applications

GenBlob,

Hopefully the day of RISC-V overthrowing x86 is sooner than we think. Progress on development has been fast and it’s very exciting.

GenBlob,

Teeworlds. When I was a kid I searched up “free online multiplayer games on pc” and it actually led me to this Wikipedia article full of open source games. I tried out teeworlds and I was hooked on it and it led me to playing other open source games like cube 2 and open arena. In my head, the term open source meant “free stuff”. Searching for open source stuff led me to discovering Linux and trying it though the Wubi installer and eventually moving to it a few years later.

GenBlob,

This is accurate

GenBlob,

Today I started getting ads with no video just audio. I didn’t get the adblocker message yet. Firefox ESR+ublock origin

GenBlob,

I haven’t come across any since yesterday but I’m putting this in just in case

GenBlob,

Spanish developers using Alfonso Azpiri’s art for their games is actually genius. If I was a kid in the late 80’s I would have bought game over or R.A.M the moment I saw the cover.

GenBlob,

Nice, I love Mageia. I recommend anyone still distrohopping to give it a shot.

GenBlob,

Back when systemd was a hot topic I jumped on the bandwagon of using systemd-less distros just because people were telling me how bad it was. To this day I still use openrc but the reality is that systemd works very well and is easy to understand and use. The average user gains no benefit to using another init besides having a better understanding of how the system works.

GenBlob,

“consumer-grade”

Yeah, that’s the point. Again, the average user (as in desktop user) gains nothing from using a different init. There may have been some crazy server-side scenario where the type of init you used actually mattered but we’re talking about desktop Linux, which the answer is a clear-cut no. I’m not stopping the people that are interested in trying a different init out, I’m just telling them that there’s little to no benefit in the end if they’re expecting an improvement in performance or whatever else.

Bomb Jack: A Home Port Comparison (lemmy.world)

I feel as if I’ve been hanging out at the arse-end of the 80s a lot recently, comparing ports on computers that had no business running them. I’ve long suspected that if you want to see 8-bit micros at their best, you’re better served hanging around in 1986 rather than 1989. Things were so much more achievable back then…...

GenBlob,

I load this up on my ST all the time but I have to turn the music off. All paradox developed games have annoying music that loops every 10 seconds and it drives me mad after only a minute of playing. One cool thing about the ST version is that it takes advantage of the MIDI ports so you can plug in a MIDI synthesizer and the music will output though that, but again, It’s the same annoying tune.

GenBlob,

Enlightenment is such an underrated desktop but development for it is very slow moving. Only a few people work on it and most likely in their spare time but for what it does and how little resources it pulls makes it very impressive. It’s pretty much a fully featured desktop and only takes a little over 100mb

GenBlob,

I browse on lemmy now but I still use my reddit account for a few subs like r/crtgaming and r/toonami

GenBlob,

I preordered this. it’s just a 7800 emulation box but the fact it accepts original cartridges and is authentic to the 2600 is cool. I think the price is fair, They’re trying to make a profit and they will most likely reprint a large portion of the library to make more money, The idea of Atari re-releasing some rare 7800 games is pretty exciting and I hope they do it. Not a big fan of modern Atari but this is a good move and I hope they will give their computers the same treatment.

GenBlob,

Every company but Nintendo, I do not trust Nintendo. I can imagine them going after people who make flashcarts like krizz and charging AAA prices for games like chrono trigger and earthbound just to cash in on the insane prices you see on eBay.

GenBlob,

Yeah. Install steam.

GenBlob,

Once in a while I venture their forums as a morbid curiosity and it always delivers.

GenBlob,

There’s just way too many to list. A few of my favorite composers are

  • Tim Follin
  • Jochen Hippel
  • Matt Furniss
  • David Whittaker
  • Jeroen Tel
  • Yuzo Koshiro
  • Rob Hubbard
GenBlob,

How is this Web3 scam still a thing? I thought I would finally stop hearing it after the crash but it just keeps coming back. The only people who will get rich from this are the scammers themselves.

GenBlob,

It’s black and blue.

GenBlob,

I have actually been using Lemmy a lot more the past few days. I haven’t had discussions this good on the internet in years. There’s no karma so people don’t spam the same jokes over and over again, It’s actually really good, well constructed discussion most of the time.

GenBlob,

Transferring the communities you subscribed or blocked to your new account. I used lasim, just downloaded the info from my old account and uploaded it to my new one. Only took a few seconds to do.

GenBlob,

Gentoo for 7 Years on and off but I’ve been using the same install for 5 years now. I wanted to challenge myself and use it as my main OS but I soon found out that it wasn’t as hard as people made it out to be and it was actually fun setting up my system from scratch. With the existence of overlays, use-flags and lots of community support there’s no reason for me to use another distro, Although I still get the itch to try out openSUSE, Mageia, and FreeBSD once in a while.
