More software that bridges the gaps between fediverse communities is exactly what we need more of!
This basically implements my wishlist for the fediverse: fediverse identities that are seperate from the instance you use, better support for lemmy communities and a nicer, less confusing design for misskey/sharkey.
Im a bit skeptical that non-programmers using AI to make large changes and add features will work in the long term, mainly because of the massive tech debt this must create, but im very interested to see if it works. Ill try it out once they implement the client to server api, Good luck!
this game looks awesome! I hope they find a publisher(or self publishing is cool too, the screenshots look crazy enough to get peoples attention, so maybe it can work)!
Thats really cool of them! I always thought this game looked interesting, but their lootbox and pay or wait 5 hours business model was genuinely horrible.
I hope with stop killing games legislation moving forward we may see more games getting a post-support mode like this one!
This is a bit heavy handed I think. This also forbids AI assisted code review and lots of other things. Perhaps they should have defined it a bit more focussed on getting rid of vibecoded spam instead of forcing a specific developing format for their whole platform.
I mean, you can always try Choicer Voicer over Jitsi/Stoat/Discord and then try to patch its audio using pipewire into the microphone capture in Choicer Voicer. Might not work though, I havent tried it.
To add to what the other commenters are saying, I also sometimes look at whos responsible for the software. Is it a repo from a big company? Is it a gnu project? Is it just from somebody with a username consisting entirely of numbers? Is it hosted on codeberg or forgejo or some other friendlier server? That stuff also says alot, even if there are few recent commits, if its from reputable people you may still get well maintained software.
Lineage is not gegoogled? You have to install google services seperatly, when does it connect?
I suppose if corporate status is inherited that may be correct. in my opinion, its a bit too far removed to be corporate. Asahi linux is a purely volunteer distro, and ubuntu mobile was discontinued years ago, and is also purely volunteers-run nowadays.
I never tried pirating native linux programs, but windows stuff worked well for me. Use some sort of wine prefix manager for this, like bottles. I used PlayOnLinux, but its an old buggy mess and there are modern alternatives nowadays. There is also umu-launcher and stuff that uses umu, which is more for games, but also works well for programs.
The most trouble I had was with installers and setup tools that need certain files to be in certain locations. There is a mod manager for Dawn of War 2 thats an exe that needs files from an installed game, and it was very bad on linux, with missing fonts and crashes. I got it to work with some fiddling however. On WineDB and ProtonDB there is guaranteed at least one person who had any given problem and has an arcane solution, or at least a bug report with lots of information, so try there if you are stuck. Good Luck!
I personally have no faith in Xlibre, its developer(s?) seem inexperienced and their contributions to x11 codebase are of low quality
Thankfully there are other projects around keeping x11 alive:
theres xwayland-satellite, which implements more of x11 in wayland so you can basically run an x11 session with wayland support.
And than there is phoenix, which is a new implementation of x11. Supposedly it shall have none of the legacy garbage code that makes x11 so hard to maintain.
The amended EP position adopts a positive, yet rather cosmetic amendment proposed by the liberal RENEW group that would “exclude communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been, or will be applied” from the scope of the law.
This isnt cosmetic, this is genius!
It satisfies lawmakers who want to make this pass to "save the children" and have no idea of the consequences, and it satisfies the lawmakers with braincells since makes the law inapplicable to secure communications.
I hope this does pass so they finally stop trying to push it through. But since they did pass the voluntary one but are still trying to pass the non-voluntary one, I think they will just try to spam chat control laws until their dystopic aim is achieved.
Very cool idea. Now I want a radiation sensor in my smartphone.
What I dont like is the tone of the article. It pretends as though the act of civillians smuggling highly radioactive material in order to conduct terrorism is a trend that is so common, that we must implement complete and total spectroscopic surveillience using all smartphones in the world in order to stand a chance of combatting it.
Quite frankly the idea is ridiculous on many levels. First, that we cant track such acts any other way, and secondly, that this stuff happens in the first place. From the article repeatedly stating that the physics community needs to understand the necessity of this, I can tell that even their own colleges arent convinced.
The part where they state that nuclear terrorism will be conducted using cartel owned "drug mules" makes me think they watched too many movies with that plot.
Other than that I think radiation sensors in smartphones is a really cool idea :)
I saw World on a Wire. Its not good. It takes forever to go anywhere, the effects are horrible and the pacing is atrocious. No idea why it was recommended.
The Thirteenth Floor is a superior adaptation in almost every way, but I wouldnt call it cyberpunk, more like traditional scifi. Its good though.

Fuck Denuvo, but ive had absolutely no problems running games that included that piece of malware.

true. I will adjust my comment. Good logo!

There are some weird picks here. Is replicant even maintained anymore? UBports and Asahi Linux in Corpo-ish? And what do you have against LineageOS?
Ah I see. From what I know of it, SEO has been broken for a while now. Good luck!
sooo... If I understand this right, this is a tool to spam the web with daily AI generated blog posts?
what is this?

Edit: Here is the WineDB link, seems to work well, but it was only tested up to version 17. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2793
They are throwing away sooo much money by not releasing it widely. Why?

Your demonstration is a sluggishly loading static image on my end, so I guess support isnt that widespread :P
(Im using the app "Summit")
