Falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you have to give up for good, you can always start again. I believe in you. It should be more about overall accumulation rather than the neverending streak. You’re allowed to be fallible if you can course correct, no one will look down upon you less.

I started with mastodon but i can never get into that kind of social media. Everyone was super nice and i tried for a bit but it felt now like looking into people’s lives rather than whatever this is. I prefer this.

If you want to get technical yeah I guess it wouldn’t be independent because it wasn’t independently funded.

Personal i think the criteria for no longer being an indie dev is if the company is funded by a publisher or the company itself has been or has the capacity to be a publisher themselves

I thought they had a publisher

You’ll be surprised how much both tobacco and cannabis smoke lingers on clothes and breath. As a non smoker I’d be able to tell you smoked earlier in the day. The difference is night and day between smelling the air around a smoker and a non smoker. Sorry to let you know.

They’d be able to tell because you’d stink too

I agree, it’s just nice that they chose a platform that others can use what they’ve implemented whilst they’re still around and if they somehow go tits up on Sunday.

Their decision to do it open source is the nice guy side but you are right they have ulterior motives that just make perfect business sense rather than it just them being “nice”.

That’s why i said a virtual monopoly not an actual one. Their prevalence in the industry among pc gamers makes them seem like a monopoly even though there are choices. The rest of my comment also explains why people choose them over other options so I don’t know what your trying to get at…

Fostering developers to go ham on windows to Linux comparability and now the same for X86/64 to ARM is much more than nothing. Valve have actually been the ones doing the most to pave the way for theirs and anyone who follows’ future.

I’m not too jazzed about their virtual monopoly but that’s sadly because they’ve just been working for consumers in more ways than the others. They’re not the best at everything like GOG trumps then when it comes to actual ownership but it’s sum of all of their parts that puts them head and shoulders above the rest.

They’ve done so much that they’ve paved the way for non gamers to be able to switch over to Linux much easier (I wouldn’t say it’s all on them but they’ve helped foster cross compatible development on Linux in general). I don’t think you could say the others have done as much to affect the space outside of gaming as valve either. Except Microsoft, but their decisions have been much more controversial.

I hate to see myself glazing valve as much as I have here but it is what it is. I’ll criticise them when the context allows and praise them like this in other times.

Wouldnt 2x4 actually equate to 2 * 4 * x not 24 * x? So it would be 8x?

NEEEERRRRDDD!!!

There seems to be a weird aversion to anything that can be seen as politics in America. So I think most of the general public there are not aware of the political ongoings so if and when they vote they see a male and female running they just vote in the male irregardless of who they are.

Ah that’s what I already do

I liked Zen but it was a nightmare to deal with on multiple devices and dealing with multiple windows broke a lot of the essential stuff like them being unpinned on one window but not the new one but the new one has the original window essential now also as a standard tab. And they kept changing the way you switch between workspaces without the necessary customisation options to change it back and any of the mods that “fixed” those issues would then break unless updating the files manually because their fixes had to be merged into the main repo that zen uses for mods which didn’t happen fast enough. So I gave up and and actually switched to edge briefly for it’s implementation of vertical tabs (which i still think is done the best) until Firefox proper gained a good enough vertical tab implementation and I’ve been there since.

If you have more ram available when it’s open, yeah chromium does run better.

Steam deck has popped up on mine even though i don’t have a steam deck because Bazzite in Gaming mode is detected as steam deck.

Is there a fennec like on desktop? I find librewolf has changed too much for what I want out of a Firefox fork. Websites just did not run the way I expected them to and I could not be arsed to fiddle with all of the different knobs to get them to work.

Sadly he wasn’t the worst part of the film. He actually fit his role pretty well. The main female lead was pretty damn wooden. I was totally expecting my feelings towards the leading roles to be reversed but I actually think you’d have a better film if she was replaced rather than Jared. And I hate him in most things. I do think however if you replaced him in blade runner 2049 it’d be a better film. Even though he fits that role really well, probably better than the one in Tron, he’s still the weakest part of that film specifically.

Chill my dude, that kind of unwarranted aggression isn’t going to be good for your health
