The answer always seems to be no for both performance and development reasons :(

How does that work if it’s peer to peer? Doesn’t at least one person need to open ports?

Because you know how to grow food?

Do users have to open ports for it to work?

I played Sin pretty recently for the first time. It’s pretty rough honestly. Pretty goofy game with enemies that seem a bit too deadly. I eventually turned on cheats to breeze through the game lol

That does happen, and those are bad. These people are bucking the trend and bringing the Windows mentality to Linux and I hate it.

Malware is the least of your worries with Linux. The real reason malware has historically been more prevalent on Windows isn’t necessarily because of market share, it’s in the way software is distributed. In the Windows world, you go to random websites and install proprietary software; you have no idea if it’s trustworthy, even when you’ve found the official site. On Linux, you get your software from repositories (like the app store on your phone) where the software is open source and has been reviewed. All this software comes from trusted sources, you’re never accidentally going to get malware from your OS.

I knew it!

Why say “Your Pixel can now…” when my Pixel can’t? Why not say “Pixel 8 and newer devices can now…”.

I can’t figure out if Free software projects don’t know or don’t care that GitHub is run by Microslop.

I would love for KDE connect to offer homescreen widgets. I’d love to make a shortcut to specific commands I’ve created.

You can parse this kind of data out of a PDF with python, but when I did it 20 years ago it wasn’t pretty or fun.

The characters and the story are so obnoxious dude. Pretty graphics/art and the music is good at least. I just beat Ghostrunner 2 and it feels like I’m still playing that game with all the wallrunning, grappling hooks, and last kill slo-mo lol

Dude SOMA was so good. I still think about the story and it’s implications. After you beat it, there was a Youtube miniseries about it that starts off strong and then gets pretty weak. It’s worth watching at least the first couple episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8I_J2VjsqQ&list=PLWjnM4fZ4U8wLxrFXjL-95ME0QJwdz8m8

I’m playing Akimbot and it kinda sucks. I didn’t realize I was buying a kid’s game :/

A lot of people struggle with depression, but like most things in life, the key is practice. Just keep it up, don’t get discouraged! One day you will be great at depression.

Ubisoft did the world a favor.

Do software keyboards not use the QWERTY layout? Why are we calling hardware keyboards on a phone a QWERTY phone?!

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had the dumb thought that if you and your friends are imprisoned, you’d ask the warden to “let’s out!”

There used to be a thing in KDE where you could execute actions and macros based on window titles, but it’s since been removed. I’ve had to recreate this behavior with a shell script, here’s a modified version you can use if you use Xorg:

#!/bin/bash

xprop -spy -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | grep --line-buffered -o '0[xX][a-zA-Z0-9]\{7\}' |
while read -r id; do
    class="`xprop -id $id WM_CLASS 2> /dev/null | grep Viber`"
    if [ -n "$class" ]; then
        if xprop -id "$id" | grep -q 'WM_NAME(STRING) = "Viber Window Name"'; then
            echo "key alt+f4" | xdotool -
            # wait for the window to be closed
            xprop -spy -id $id > /dev/null 2>&1
            fi
    fi
done

The first Viber is is looking for the Viber in the application name, replace “Viber Window Name” with the actual window title you want to be closed. If you don’t use Xorg, you’ll have to find a replacement for both xprop and xdotool.
