sad that you can't disable the discords own titlebar

Quoting: Tethys84I've heard nothing but bad things about this game. That the monetization is predatory, and that it's totally a P2W game. I see this and World of Warships get mentioned together a lot as games to avoid.

Quoting: tpauI wish we could replace this with element&matrix.

sadly will NEVER happen as will never be enough people using either to gain traction

Quoting: EikeIf enough people do want it, they sell us what we want.

Assuming that it's profitable, no matter the wants, or even the *needs* of consumers; and also assuming that possible satisfactions of such wants/needs can't be manipulated. In consumer electronics, 'products' are slowly turning into further 'revenue streams', or portals for indefinitely extended rentals.

For example -- "If enough people do want" ... perpetual licenses as opposed to subscriptions ... would "they sell us what [they] want"? They wouldn't, and they don't; and those smaller companies that do sell perpetual licenses weasel their way out of it the moment they get bought out.

As luxury/specialist items, vinyl players, or even penny farthings can be produced at smaller scales; what's at issue here is mass production at scale, of things that have everyday use -- things that you can't just "vote with your wallet" not to buy, because you *need* them; things that you can't get from the 'competition' ... because there's no competition when it comes to the large-scale trends like what we're seeing with electronics right now. 'Competition' is at best a short term illusion, when the model requires the bigger players to keep swallowing the smaller players, or at the very least constrain the possibilities with which they have to work.

Quoting: Xpandersad that you can't disable the discords own titlebar. waste of space on my screen tbh
Before i could at least toggle the borders off from my WM and it was clean, but now the discords own titlebar thing is still wasting the space.

not the end of the world ofc, but yeah.

So, stay off the chat entirely during matches and you should still be able to play.

Quoting: scaineIt's hard to be upset at the Hyprland donations, I suppose, in the face of the all the good they're additionally doling out on a monthly basis. Still wish they'd drop Gnome for KDE though (and by extension, also drop Hyprland), as this feels like the direction of travel these days.

I might just be blinkered there though. I suspect Gnome still has a huge mindshare, probably as a combined result over decades of Ubuntu and Fedora.

Quoting: seamooseI own Nuclear Throne on itch as a result of bying it in four charity bundles over the years, but the downloadable binaries have not been updated since 2016, and I doubt they will this time either. I also own the game on Steam so I don't much care but I would not get it on itch.

Quoting: ScottCarammellI love this franchise with my entire pussy

Quoting: dibzI long ago gave up using the actual client, I don't need fifty different browsers disguised as apps running.

Works fine, and frankly better performance-wise, as a pinned tab in Firefox.

Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town!

I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

Quoting: NumerfoltUnfortunately they lost quite some people that now thinks that framework is fine with sponsoring fascists :/

Quoting: lucinos

Quoting: Philadelphusbut Trixie was released November 15 last year so I suspect

Trixie made it to stable only this August. Most people won't bother with testing/unstable.
