Ardenfall looks so interesting. A "first-person RPG inspired by Morrowind" which, according to the Steam forums can be played in third-person as well -- just not always in combat. I'm old school -- I absolutely do not need nor desire complete voice dialogue.

I am just under the graphics card requirement. I might see if it will still run regardless. The GeForce MX150 is supposed to be the equivalent of the GeForce GT 1030 ...

I can't help it, it makes me think of Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle -- except on wheels instead of feet.

I don't like deckbuilders, but I might check it out.

Let's be real: AI in some form or another is there to stay. And honestly: I like those small additions! Because they aren't "slop" and might be useful for some browsing the web. Also I can easily toggle tools on/off and if I use them, they run on locally my machine. Using AI to increase the accessibility of PDFs is also a nice addition. Looking forward to what's coming next.

While every platform may eventually need to confront age verification laws, Discord is an untrustworthy company. They will abuse the opportunity.

This announcement should be taken the same as "Google backed away from locking down Android!"
Because, according to F-Droid, that never actually happened.

This is good but I'll be sticking with LibreWolf and Vivaldi.

Quoting: EhvisLibrewolf is a Firefox version, so still lives or dies by what happens to Mozilla. So I don't see that as much of a difference.

LibreWolf is a Firefox fork not a version. To me, that's a big difference. They are not part of the Firefox organization and they have a very different philosophy and approach to the browser compared to Mozilla. With LibreWolf, I get everything I like about Firefox without Mozilla's negatives. That LibreWolf depends on Mozilla's future is not the issue here.

I just saw an article on itsfoss about a Colorado bill wanting to impose age indication (not verification on operating systems during device setup.
https://itsfoss.com/news/colorado-age-attestation-bill/

So it's likely only a matter of time before some dunce thinks of mandating face scans for your PC or phone, but I honestly can't think of a way that could even work on Linux. Like, which part of a Linux distro would implement it? The kernel can't so it'd have to be a userspace thing. The desktop environments are only launched at the end of the boot process so they don't prevent you from accessing the internet from a TTY. The init system, the bootloader? 😅

You'd think that GOG, in the interests of game preservation, would want the original version too, not just the "slightly upgraded" version.

Nice try. But all this does is it just adds more time for things like Sharkord to mature up more in the meantime before the big migration. No turning back now.

Nice, I shall delay uninstalling it, then.

I dont believe a word they say any more. They've been proven to have ties to Palantir and also they work with Persona which does over 250 verification checks on faces, relating to stuff like terrorism and a property called 'SelfieSuspiciousEntityDetection' where it's totally not clear what makes a face 'suspicious'

Hopefully this is the last straw that gives some push to migrating over to alternatives like Fluxer, which seems like the best one so far, even if it's under heavy server load right now. Fluxer is open-source and self-hostable which makes it a great option for FOSS communities and I hope it will eventually gain critical mass.

I absolutely love it, and finished the demo. I never finish demos. Can't wait! Is it out yet?

Quoting: ChrisznixOh man, Next Fest... aint nobody got time for that.
Every evening, when its finally getting quieter, i look at all my games already, cannot decide what to play next and... go for a round of brotato and go to bed. Sigh.

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: JarmerI primarily use three devices, so here's what I use:

- linux desktop: Librewolf / Orion beta

Librewolf is a Firefox version, so still lives or dies by what happens to Mozilla. So I don't see that as much of a difference. And I'm not to familiar with the webkit politics. At the end of the day it is an Apple thing and I see Apple as a much bigger threat than Mozilla due to its size. You can argue webkit is open source, but so is chromium and shows the scars of its google dependency, so that doesn't mean much.

As you mentioned, ideally you'd want something that is truly independent and that can't be influenced by tech giants, but that's not realistic at this time. So for now a Mozilla dependency seems the least problematic, whether it is through Firefox or one of its custom builds.

All of what you've said is exactly right, and I agree with all of it.

But at the end of the day: I'm just doing the best I can ... and to me, avoiding vanilla FF and vanilla Webkit is a good idea. Chrome / chromium anything doesn't even enter the picture. So ... librewolf / orion is the best I can think of in early 2026.

From a performance perspective, I'm not hopeful for this one. The information here is kind of useless because it doesn't specify what upscaling they use and I only care about performance without upscaling.

Quoting: M@GOidAbout their requirement for on site work, they better change it if they want to get good and experienced workers. People are fed up with jobs that involve long, daily commuting but can easily be done from home. After all, AMD does have people on their team that work remotely and they have done pretty well.

The good news is that they let you prompt the AI you work for during the commute! It saves so much time (for the company). It does not count towards the work you have to do in office from 9 in the morning to 9 at night 6 days a week.

Final result seems fine. I assume Mozilla needs the AI hype money to stay in business.
I am not a fan of having AI force fed to me. I did like that they didn’t configure it so that if I want use translations, I had to turn on all AI features.

Quoting: Linas

Quoting: Ehvis...but what then?

Microsoft had a chance to keep the web somewhat independent by keeping the original Edge browser alive, or maybe even partnering up with Mozilla. But instead they made Edge into a reskin of Chrome, and gave Google full control of the web on a silver platter.

MS stalled the development of web standards for years, with Internet Explorer. It's a good thing that they aren't an independent meddler nowadays.

Played a bit for nostalgia, but i don't understand why AF and AA options are missing from the game settings.
anyway if anyone wonders
~/.ut2004/System/UT2004.ini is the place to change those

really good to see old games still kept alive.

I absolutely love what Kagi is doing with Orion, so at least for now I'm very happy with that. In the future Servo / Ladybird might be great alternatives as well, just not there yet as of today.

Quoting: JarmerI'm glad they added this, but for me: too little too late / the train has left the station / the horse is out of the barn / [insert saying here] ...... I'm never going to use FF again. Sorry mozilla :(

You can say that, but what then? I refuse to use a chrome(ium) based browser since those have shown to follow google. Other alternatives have their own issues. Besides, I think the settings have been in FF for a while because I turned all of it off the moment it appeared. I just needed to do it with about:config. So not sure if this change is more than just UI.

moreso for me it just instantly limits the pool of available candidates by like 90% (or more?) ... any person with a family can't just instantly uproot themselves and move to a MUCH MUCH MUCH more expensive location for a job that may or may not work out long term. Doubly so for a company such as Intel who might not even exist in a few years. So therefore, you get to pick from whoever is available locally. SO. STUPID.

I love the look of this, will check it out. I like the animation of the moving castles, very nicely done. Looks fun!

LOL I had the same weird full screen issues - it kept forcing itself into a small window. But whatever, I don't think I'd play this game on my desktop, I think I'd play this game on my deck where that wouldn't be an issue. Seems perfect for the deck.

I played it for a few mins this morning then promptly uninstalled it. Loved it! It was enough for me to know that I'll be getting it day 1 on launch and can wait patiently until then :)
