I doubt that no one will use it. If you make a good input method that works with a decent variety of games, some will switch to it. Perhaps Nintendo could even sell some sort of tray/mousepad that lets you use the mouse decently well while sitting on the couch. It seems odd, but I think it has potential.

On April 2? I’m suspicious.

As much as I’m against the takeover of minimalism in logo design, something a bit more subdued would make people more likely to use the free version. The anime girl vibe may not be the one for every website.

Maybe Xe has little interest in people using the free version, which is fine, but they still haven’t nailed down the pricing. You contact them and set up a meeting to discuss the price. That may change as soon as they gain some traction though, so we’ll see.

I may be missing some context here. How is it creepy to have a child as the mascot of your software? I just checked the Anubis website and didn’t see any sexualization.

Yeah I’m not at all against the idea of throwing a few bucks at them per month for something, but I just don’t see anything that fits in the context of why I use GOG in the first place. Voting rights doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Ideas like earlier versions of games, tools that help with backup, etc should be offered for free or sold for a one-time cost IMO.

A guy in Australia built a Nintendo Playstation for way cheaper than the cost of buying one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lpTfVxwwSU

I don’t doubt Signal per se, but I am surprised that government officials would use it to discuss military plans. I would have thought the government would use something developed by the military just to be sure that it’s safe.

Sure, they can vet the source code, but it seems more straightforward for the government to develop their own solution than create a team to vet the security of something that they didn’t write. Maybe it’s overkill, but I’d almost think they should be doing this on vetted hardware as well. Signal is also relatively new, and they had to have a way to discuss these things beforehand.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is great fun if they don’t have it already.

The lack of communication from Team Cherry is the only issue, and it’s the primary thing that makes me skeptical about the game ever releasing. If they were working on the game for this long, they’d at least have enough material to give us some kind of an update. It could be as small as a blog post.

Not to imply that they owe us that or anything. They possibly are just completely disinterested in marketing. It’s a little hard to believe given the amazing trailer that they put together years ago, but it’s still possible.

To be fair, a game giving you bad vibes is a valid reason not to play it. It’s not a piece of software developed with a practical task in mind.

I don’t know if I agree about new games. This is a bit of a problem with some AAA games though. The indie game scene is still thriving as far as I can tell, in some genres more than others. (E.g now is a great time to be into FPS games.)

A good old game can occupy you for many hours though, and it’s hard to make good games period. I’m not surprised that a few older games dominate the market.

I remember downloading it a few years back to do some basic image editing and drawing. I think I wanted to make a simple diagram for a lab paper. I didn’t get very far though and ended up using an alternative program. It may not be objectively terrible. but the first time user experience leaves a lot to be desired.

If this happened, would Ubuntu based operating systems be impacted as well? I might start to learn Debian or LMDE if so.

Maybe they’re not for you, IDK. I started with a Lamy safari and noodler’s ink, and it was pretty smooth. You do have to write a bit differently though.

The pilot G2s are well known for being very good as well.

I’m thinking of going back to nicer gel pens. Fountain pens are great when writing, but filling and cleaning is such a hassle. My favorite is probably the TWSBI VAC 700R since it holds so much ink, and it doesn’t need to be filled often at all.

If writing for a decent amount of time, this is how I do it with fountain pens. They almost feel made for lefties.

Those who are against it probably would just move away from Ubuntu. For those who aren’t, I don’t see why they shouldn’t register for Ubuntu Pro. It’s not in the spirit of the free software ecosystem, but not everyone needs to have the same level of commitment to free software.

IMO, hearing about Ubuntu Pro reinforces my decision to stick to Ubuntu derivatives like Mint, and it’s making me consider trying options like LMDE or straight up Debian.

This sounds like a problem with your organization. I use windows at the hospital where I work, and we don’t run into these kinds of issues. Yeah it is rife with other issues like goading you into using microsoft edge, one drive, and more, but updates are handled by IT.

I think it’s about staying focused on what you’re doing. Pushing out irrelevant thoughts and focusing on what’s going on is a skill you can work on. In my mind, when something like that is making me giggle, the only thing that helps is not thinking about it. I’m bad at dealing with this too though.

TIL. Apparently they may eat certain wild varieties of bananas, but not the ones that we eat. I’ve been duped and smeckledorfed.

I don’t really know about this stuff, but maybe this is the work of some kind of convolutional neural network. Computerphile on YouTube had a couple of videos about them with Mike Pound. That or this was handmade by someone, but I doubt it.
