Quoting: ChrisznixI was always too old for discord, it was too confusing for me. I missed the magic of early IRC channels or BBS/Forum stuff.

RAR support added to Ark, KDE’s un-archiver

Quoting: EikeI had something close with the Steam Deck. It had an update, I turned it off and put it into the case. Some hours later I wanted to take it out - and turning off didn't work! (There was another update the next day, so I guess it was a bug.) That smelled of hot, nearly burned plastic...! It still works today, so lucky me. ("Luck in the bad luck", as a German saying goes.)

Quoting: apocalyptech

Quoting: JarmerOMG I love this so much because it will destroy discord. YESSSSSS I ragehate discord so much so anything that takes measures to destroy it is the best thing ever.

Heh, while I don't hate Discord with the same fervor as you, I am certainly not a fan. Perhaps this'll end up encouraging more people to start adopting open platforms for online discussion, over corporate-controlled walled gardens! Though through the cynical eye of historical observation, I think it's more likely that the majority will just grumble about it and acquiesce anyway. Alas!

Quoting: Sakuretsu26.0 is really 2026-02-11 or is it 2026-03-11?

Quoting: GoEsrI'm left wondering when governments will come for Steam accounts. My account is over 18 years old, so maybe they'll implement the same system Nexus Mods did.

Quoting: BrandonGeneI hope this reverses the trend of open source devs using Discord as their development hangout places. A support forum is one thing (though still way worse than a real forum for documentation), but the actual development happening via Discord is terrible. "Think you've found a bug? Come tell us on Discord before opening a issue here!" - nope.

Quoting: BrokattGraham did say that while they felt Snap actually works "better than Flatpak in some ways"

Controversial opinion. I hope his mailbox is all right...

Jokes aside, I'm glad things are moving along for KDE Linux. It's not something I'm personally interested in, but I imagine it's great for KDE devs. Hopefully it's something one could recommend for those who are KDE curios (Kurious?). Maybe we'll even get to see some devices with it pre-installed in the future?

Quoting: JarmerNow comes the fun part: waiting to see where are the game devs go for their communities.

Quoting: williamjcmI've heard a few horror stories about Mattermost, especially from bot developers, and Element is just a client for Matrix, a chat protocol that's so focused on security that they forgot to implement safety features (like banning/muting accounts and servers).

Quoting: pbSure, but that's nothing something average people do which this will all affect. Although, as with a lot of these laws, they do end up pushing people to alternatives to find workarounds. It will be a never-ending battle.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP... but why?
Usually, malware has a specific purpose, monetary or data gathering or disrupting infrastructure.

This just messes with your mods and steam stats for a title.
Very annoying especially for modders, but beyond that I don't understand the motivation here.

Quoting: F.UltraWhich would be true even if the cut was 1%, so no it is not about the 30% itself. And as I have tried to explain before, the DMA is about lock-in and not some arbitrary cut. Which should be self explanatory since the EU have not went after Valve for their 30% cut on Steam, the DMA case against Valve is only about restricted cross-border sales with zero mentionings of the cut.
