Added to my library and downloaded! I'll have to find some time to give this a try. Maybe find someone to play through the co-op campaign again. 🙂

While I am on team "don't "verify age", you probably should look deeper behind the story of systemd. Listen to [the person who actually implemented age on systemd](https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=8bAN4Jam974). Companies that want to make business in USA HAVE to implement it, if they agree with laws or not. That means all the distros maintained by companies do not have much choice. The systemd implementation should keep the control by users and should make sure to implement it in the best way possible (otherwise may 10 companies create 10 different solutions while some are probably worse). And at least on my daily used distro (Debian) the related systemd packages are not even installed by default. It's a package for all kind of personal information. It was weird anyway that such an entry was never implemented (and if so, nobody would have spoken about these days).

You still don't need to agree with that action and personally I think it was not smart to do it right now when laws are still discussed for free software. But I also think there is more drama made then the action actually was. Just pick a distro that does not ship that package (community distros) or uninstall it and your system is as clean as it always was.

You can do that with activities, that's essentially what they're for, workspaces where everything is unique to each space. To be honest, I'm not really sure why KDE sidelines them. They do everything people complain about workspaces not doing. They're intended for workspaces to live inside them, but that's never how KDE presents them.

Wait, that's actually a pretty powerful machine; more powerful than the PS5 Pro if I'm not mistaken. And it's also upgradable, so you can upgrade the memory if you like, though I don't think you'll need to if you're just using it for gaming.

But, why does it look like a portable electric stove? 😁 Still look nicer than the PS5 though in my opinion.

Quoting: RTherenI've sent it to a friend of mine who's a huge AitD fan.... he wasn't happy with the quality of this AI slop, at all.

Quoting: dpanterIt is quite AI sloppy indeed. With properly remade assets, it would be pretty sweet.

Source? Link to confirm use of "AI"?

There aren't many high graphical fidelity, professionally developed multiplayer space sims/shooters native for Linux. This is a real loss.

Hm, I'm happy for the patch to be out (and hope it actually fixes the issue I have with my ongoing campaign), but neither of the two expansions have me reaching for my wallet. I guess By God Alone may enrich gameplay in Europe and perhaps some of the changes to the Faith mechanics may apply elsewhere, too, but it's not on the same level as, say, Tournaments or China.

Silk & Silver on the other hand feels like it's deserving to be a core expansion, and so will likely end up too shallow and too separate from existing systems and mechanics.

I'd rather have liked seeing something that deepens an existing system or region (like By God Alone apparently does), with more events, more choice, more variety.

But I'll follow the dev diaries (at least those are almost always fun!) and perhaps let myself be convinced that my fears are unfounded and there's tons of exciting stuff included. No pre-ordering this time, though.

Nice. I'm still dreaming about using different desktop backgrounds for each virtual desktop (which I was reminded of when hearing about this virtual desktop update).

Quoting: grigiI didn't know it even existed :-(

But having the licensing expire after a mere 2 years is ridiculous. Its continued sale will result in continued royalties, I really don't get why :-(

Edit: I read that apparently Paramount/Skydance decided to up Star Trek licensing costs by 2000%
Feels like the "new owners" want to price out the small guy :-(

Not so much that as the entire franchise has long since been driven into the ground and corporate is simply trying to recover anything they can from anywhere.

If we don't slam the door shut on this at the start then we'll never be able to close it later. Simple as.

For the first time in my life I have an opinion on SystemD because. It seems to be the vehicle chosen for this power-grab. Therefore I am switching distros to specifically avoid it.

Typing this on Mint, switching my laptop to MX Linux. Business machine is OpenMandriva, probably also soon to be MX. The machine I'm typing on probably Void.

This thing has insanely cheap Chinese parts inside of it, the motherboard is around 50$'ish. The brand is Jginyue (B450i-Plus/ARGB) I would say avoid this thing if you know what is good for you, these parts are kind of garbage and this thing is insanely over priced for the quality of the parts you get.

Huh, is that what it is? You mean code, or graphics, or both? I don't care about the gfx (would prefer to keep the classic one), but some UX improvements sound welcome.

16g of ddr4!!! At this price, wow. I haven't looked at component prices in a while, but that's just insane. I'm glad these projects are launching though! More stuff like this the better.

I am surprised they roll their own distro though.

Quoting: Stella16GB VRAM and 16GB RAM is an interesting choice, I'm guessing this was conceived before the great RAMCrisis:tm: and they originally planned to launch with 32/16?
Either way it seems like an interesting and capable piece of hardware that should be quite a bit more powerful than the Steam Machine proper and the VRAM should give it considerable longevity

It's using DDR4, so they probably thought that would help, but now those prices have skyrocketed too.

Free to play, but £2500 if you want all the DLC.

And here I thought Star Citizen was a disgusting cash grab.

Presumably you only buy one of the £30 ships and not, like, all of them?? Hopefully?

KWin now supports the Wayland session management protocol! This is an important step for apps to be able to remember their sizes and positions after restarting the system.

Thank God, I really could use that feature! Having to rearrange my Firefox windows every day is really annoying.

Per-screen virtual desktops are the only thing I was missing, KDE Plasma is now the perfect DE as far as I'm concerned.

Wayland remembering where windows are positioned is the last feature missing from X, for me. It really annoys me that all windows open in the centre of the screen.

Except Steam. It doesn't care about desktop managers or theming or whatnot. Does what it likes. 😅

Great news! 😊👍🔥

If it also remembers what screen and desktop windows were placed at it's the best thing since sliced bread, because it means no more window rules for the most part

They could have remastered the sound too 😅
