On older android devices, I immediately enable developer mode so I can enable “force GPU rendering”. You’d be surprised how much of a difference it can make when games are unoptimized and don’t use the GPU to render anything. For some reason, this setting was removed from newer versions of android.

I’ve haven’t used it before just now but the Android version of Firefox has an extension called “MobiDevTools” on their extension store. It has various web developer tools, including a developer console. For some reason it doesn’t seem to open when I’m on the extension store but it works just fine with every other website I tried.

I know that not everyone is interested in this but I’d use it as another method to play PC games on my Android devices. Right now, JoiPlay and a few source ports I’m aware of are the only apps that I’ve been able to get PC games working successfully with on any of my Android devices. I’ve tried both Winlator and Limbo Port but I have not yet gotten a single game working correctly in either of them. Granted, I have no idea how to properly configure them, so I might just not be using them correctly.

Is there any information on what they mean by a “Linux based OS”, like is it going to be “Linux” Linux or is it just going to be similar to android/ChromeOS? I’ve read a few articles about it but outside of it being called “Vega”, I can’t find any other information about it.

Kind of an indirect answer, but I’ve heard people state that they vote against their own personal beliefs because they think that there needs to be a balance between “good and bad”. Obviously, this is complete bullshit. Even if there should be a “balance”, we already have enough problems as is, we don’t need the government making it worse.

According to Wikipedia, it’s still based on Gentoo, it just uses Debian for running Linux applications in Crostini.

If this happens, I’d be interested in seeing how this effects ChromeOS. I don’t use it but my mom does.

Also, if you’re confused as to why ChromeOS would be effected, while it’s based on Gentoo Linux, ChromeOS uses a modified version of Chrome as it’s Desktop Environment.

Just looked into it, according to this post account scores were removed from Lemmy. I’ll have to edit my comment.

They must have changed it because Boost was the only app I ever used.

It does, it’s just disabled by default. Some third party clients, like Boost for Lemmy, have it enabled (or at least it did, it’s been a while since I’ve used it).

Edit: as it turns out, the Karma count was removed from Lemmy in version 0.19.

There, I fixed it. It took me a while to understand what the problem was but I figured it out.

The Reddit community is part of the reason I stopped playing RuneScape a few years ago. The in-game community was fine for the most part, as players would mostly keep to themselves or just talk with their own groups. But the subreddit would get super offended/aggressive towards each other for the stupidest things and the mods always seemed to make things worse.

I’ve always been of the believe that all online games with subscription services should always be $60 a year at most. If you do the math, $60 a year per player is way more than what single-player games make and maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work as making brand new games either.

And yes, I’m aware of the whole thing with the bonds and how they technically allow you to play the game for free but, at least compared to the old prices, they aren’t as efficient as just buying a member and Jagex makes more money off of them. So, I still think that Jagex shouldn’t change the membership prices.

The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?

Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.

I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven’t been mentioned yet, there’s:

The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two “Touhouvania” games.

Most of the Castlevania games.

Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.

And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.

One that I’m aware of is “tskr” in Japanese. It’s a slang term that derives from たすかる (tasukaru). The meaning depends on the context and it can mean something like either “you saved me” or “thanks for helping me”.

It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.

If the issue is with the DE, I’m actually using the Xfce edition of Linux Mint. I would just use VLC but it gives me performance issues because I don’t have the best hardware and mpv seems to work much more efficiently. But yeah, changing the audio output fixed this issue, I’m guessing the flatpak version of mpv defaults to pipewire. I was curious and I did test pipewire with both versions and I got the same results that they did.

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

I know it’s been a while but I tried the flatpak version of mpv and it’s not working. If I open the flatpak version without any music it opens but it becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to load any music. I also have no idea how to diagnose this issue as running the flatpak version in the terminal gives no error messages.

The version that comes with Linux Mint works perfectly fine, so I don’t need the flatpak version, I’m just curious as to why the flatpak version doesn’t work.

I might try that later because, like I said earlier, I got the version of MPV that’s already installed to play YouTube videos and that fine for me. I also made configurations to the preinstalled version and I don’t know if it would be easy, or even possible, to transfer them to the flatpak version.
