SCTP was going to do that too. It hasn’t seen much uptake.

SCTP has a major obstacle in that the internet is full of middleboxes that will never support it, because it’s not TCP or UDP. QUIC deliberately addresses that by being plain old UDP. Routers, firewalls, etc. don’t have to know anything about it in order to handle it.

The way I use Lutris today is nothing more than a prefix manager, I click add game, set up my prefix, and install my games manually.

New features will be unlikely, but not entirely off the table if there’s a really good reason to include them.

Given this, wouldn’t simply bookmarking the last Lutris release that you find acceptable be an easier way to meet your needs?

Or are you trying to guard against Lutris disappearing or retroactively changing old versions?

Some fraction of those five million are people who bought the Denuvo-infected PC version.

Shrug… That’s a club I won’t be joining.

Here’s the recent anniversary video:

Civilization? That would surprise me. Are you sure you’re not thinking of one of its sequels?

That makes sense.

It has some font size controls in Settings: Configure Akregator: Appearance: Font Size. I think these sliders apply to the article bodies.

It uses built-in style sheets for the size of other text, like headings, so changing that probably requires the program to be recompiled. In case you have those skills and want to make those changes, have a look in this file: src/formatter/html/style.css

2. Beginning on the date a digital game operator ceases to provide services necessary for the ordinary use of the digital game, the operator shall provide the purchaser with one or more of the following:

   (A) A version of the digital game that can be used by the purchaser independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (B) A patch or update to the purchaser’s version of the digital game that enables its continued use independent of services controlled by the operator.

   (C) A refund in an amount equal to the full purchase price paid for the digital game by the purchaser.

Interesting. This one looks more powerful than most attempts I’ve seen.

One of my key questions is addressed in the FAQ:

Hard link or symlink? What about a Mo2 style vfs?

• They all achieve the same goal but each comes with downsides
• Hard links can be loaded fast and take up no space, However when the source file is removed the hard link is removed which can cause issues. The hard linked file must also be on the same drive as the source file. They also look like normal files and report as taking up space which can cause confusion
• Symlinks can be created between drives and are distinguishable from normal files. Removing the source file stops the symlink from working but the symlinked file still shows as a symlink and can be easily removed. The downside of these are they much worse than hard links when playing with large modlists as they take longer to load. The manager allows you to freely swap between both methods and symlinks may be fine for smaller modlists.
• Mo2 style vfs (FUSE and overlayfs): These have the benefit of not moving any files to the game directory. I have added both of these to a test build, Neither provided any real benefit over hardlink/symlink and caused more issues than it was worth.

What was the trouble with Akregator? I think recent versions have dark mode, and older versions could be made dark with the right style sheets applied.

It’s not a perfect fit for me, but it works well enough that I stopped hunting for something better.

I wish Klei hadn’t sold out to Tencent.

Highlights

• Low neighborhood opportunity was associated with higher CDKN2A expression.
• CDKN2A is a key marker of cellular senescence and biological aging.
• Associations were strongest for social and economic opportunity.
• Results are consistent with models of socially patterned aging.

If you had read the post, you would know they have good reason for maintaining a presence on toxic platforms.

Seems like they could be experimenting with an LLM to improve server-side anti-cheat.

Unfortunately, some misguided (or possibly malicious) people collect email forwarding domains like these and publish them in lists dishonestly advertised as spam or disposable address lists. An unfortunate number of service developers have taken to using these lists, leading to the situation you’re in now.

The best suggestions I can offer:

• Complain to the administrators of each site that does this, making sure to explain why it’s a problem. There’s a chance that some of them honestly don’t realize that legitimate forwarding domains are being swept up into a dragnet intended for spammers, and might stop using those lists if they were made aware.
• When choosing a forwarding service, pick one offering domain names that haven’t been picked up by the blacklists. This might require non-default settings when creating a forwarding address, or paying for access to the more obscure domains.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been keeping MX Linux in the back of my mind as a possible Debian alternative if I ever need one.

they aren’t letting me post this testimonial in the MX forum because it doesn’t accept anon-aliased emails for logins.

Ouch. That’s a red flag for me, since it forces people to expose themselves to spam and tracking if they want to participate in the community. Which alias service did they reject? Maybe there’s one that doesn’t trigger their rule?

I mean, pretty much every desktop environment that’s not Gnome or KDE has been dragging its feet.

To be fair, migrating a desktop environment from X11 to Wayland is a lot of work, Wayland still hasn’t reached feature parity, and most desktop environments are maintained by very few people with scant resources. It’s no surprise that the big ones are ahead of the others.

That laughably understates the RAM required for Windows to be useful.

the Linux ecosystem that’s currently driving away developers in droves with fragmentation to consider that.

I am very skeptical of this. Exactly which developers are being driven away “in droves” because of packaging system differences? If you want to make a case for that assertion, you’re going to have to identify them, so they can be counted.

If it turns out that there are many developers who think like this, someone ought to let them know that they don’t have to package open-source software for every distro out there in order to reach all the major distros. Just package it for one, or even none, and let package maintainers do their thing.

Or, are you talking about proprietary software? That would be a different discussion.

Well, you could do this yourself too…

No, but you and someone else could collaborate to do something like it, if both of you had sufficient skill in this area.

And, importantly, it would require a great deal more time and effort.

The current laws are tuned to cost, benefit, difficulty, and volume assumptions that are made outdated by LLMs.
