Two certain clowns, though for different reasons

What’s a hard drug

The year of the Linux desktop is already there for me. There is more and on a better foundation than I ever thought would happen when I started using it. Personally, I miss nothing.

Well aware that this isn’t the case for everyone.

Funny to read this when I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years

They’re running out of money to steal

It’s called hypocrisy

Surprise billion dollar fine it should be then

A good roguelike will add unlocks that are more specific and niche than what’s usually in the game that allow experienced players to play the game differently. I think a good example would be Noita’s later unlocks, like the requirement family of spells (Greek letters are technically locked, but even in unlocked saves, most players just kill the alchemist to get some of the spells, which is also the unlock condition). Balatro only has two really unlocks with blueprint and brainstorm, the rest in my opinion don’t do that much as these two. They’re not bad (bloodstone is very good with dice for example) but they’re not strictly better or worse than starting jokers. They just enable the player to play the game differently.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves

In practice, most people’s chrome will have the key available in one form or another all the time anyways because most people don’t need to unlock their stored passwords every time they use one.

Not saying this isn’t dumb by MS, but it doesn’t open up a new attack vector.

Maybe I’m dumb, but what would anything else protect against in the common scenarios?

If you have malware on your machine that exploits this, it could just monitor the edge process all the time and then get the master key during decryption anyways.

I think it’s possibly the best way to play it, sure my majority of play time is on PC and it’s close but it’s way better than on the Deck, or a phone mind you. Yeah Deck has touch but Tablet is just better

For playing Balatro on the go, I just use a tablet (Dell Latitude that is, so normal Linux desktop)

The issue with Balatro is that you or at least I need some screen estate do easily differentiate suits, and I don’t play in colorblind mode. Then the game doesn’t really benefit from joysticks, it’s rather a game where you point and click, but don’t move. So all in all just a good fit for a tablet.

It was down two days ago too.

People love to shit on GitHub for their recent outages, turns out it’s nontrivial to host a lot of software…

Yeah, you shouldn’t use GitHub anyways (I have a paid account on sr.ht that I use for my stuff and I think it predates codeberg) but codeberg has some teething issues as well.

Anyhow, yes, if you depend on codeberg, you should consider donating

Well, technically, it’s not broken, just slower

Firefox always has tabs, in fact even the Mozilla Application Suite had them since 2001. Gmail came out 3 years later. Though I would have thought that there were about 5 years between these events

It’s a choice I can live without, I see the appeal of !! but usually, history is informative only, if I want something reusable, I write a function.

Ah, okay.

It shows that I’m not using POSIX shells

Yeah, I wasn’t sure there, the question mark was supposed to apply to all shells…
