I’m not using text-to-speech engines, I am bad at writing all by myself
Yup.

Wine for Android hasn’t seen too much work in recent time. Back in 2024 was talk of Wine on Android with DXVK/VKD3D-Proton plus FEX for running Windows games on Android but not too much on that “Cassia” effort since. Going back over a decade were original efforts to get Wine on Android and running Solitaire as an example.
Well, no, but the amount of browser-based apps due to their convinience in development is stupid.
My re-spec online classes started by installing VS Code and connecting it to user’s own GitHub repository that was then used to upload homework in Jupyter notebook format. It was pretty streamlined, that is good when you want to fast-forward into making students write their own first code lessons, leaving off technicalities, but there we didn’t heard a word about if any of these three choices are necessary to start coding. I only recently got interested enough to research other options, at the same time I left Windows as a default OS. I’m not sure any of my classmates would tho until something critical happens, and for many this pipeline is probably what they are still using by now.
Jitsi is great as a Skype/Zoom replacement. It’s not a ‘room’ on a server, but voice and video chats are stable and fast.
Imagine a catchy hip-hop beat pattern, but it gets repeated real fast. There is some song structure, then an overlay of a melody, sometimes vocals, but the center of it is a broken rhytm that gets your legs moving, kicking air, do a primitive tap dance to it. That’s like exploring a tact-to-tact consistent EDM music, but with some Game+ twist.
I’ve done that for export to portable devices and for use in video editing, but other than that I keep them intact to keep seeding the original file without producing duplicates.
.cue files are there to inform your player about where songs/chapters start in a record. It’s mostly for situation where you have ripped CDs as singular files and not tracks. It’s a frequent occurence in lossless torrents (.flac, .alac, .wav, audiocd territory) and the reasoning behind that may be that it keeps the most exact copy of a CD without any user-side interference, and .cue files are text files laying alongside your cd rip (and probably a log of ripping). Such interference may also be seen as unwanted in some cases, e.g. when the record is mastered that way one track seemlessly flows into another, so any way to cut between them is arguable.
Add another ad on top and you get the russian internet rn. The difference is: american media has way more traction.
Besides almost everything availiable to try on Windows before the switch, I’ve seen Nobara writing on their page about their media-focus, mentioning DaVinci Resolve workarounds from out of the box. I’ve not tried it yet.
There is someone training the biggest, bestest model to draw clock faces to pass that test as we speak.
Whaaaaa…?
That’s wild. And an instant buy too.
I’m pissed most youtubers cherished it like a God’s own baby. It led me to finally unsub from Angry Joe I forgot I followed from earlier years. There were just a few bloggers who said they didn’t like it or pointed any problem with it.
The hype building up behind CP2077 made me curious, but I couldn’t care about it after ten hours in. I’m still not sure if it’s not my type of game/storytelling, or that I wanted too much from it (or was prepared to hate it as an ordinary reddit contrarian), but I feel like I don’t understand why people liked it or want to replay it now.
In contrast I do know Doom: Ethernal was definetely not my type. I’m a huge Doom/Quake fan, and jumping puzzles, gimmicky mapmaking, maraudeurs, resource farming routine, the fact you can’t kill stuff without constant QTEing were frustrating. The way they constantly show you how awesome and brutal you are in the cutscenes is just damn cheap. For me it was a downgrade from short but breathtaking Doom 2016. I’m happy it makes money to do great remasters with new episodes though.
As a counter example, as I played Like a Dragon games back to back, I’ve seen the sentiment that the third game, the first unremastered game in a chronological order, is the worst one for a modern gamer, even called Blockuza for enemies behavior. While I can understand that, I find it’s bearing one of the greatest emotional moments for the main character, as well as the less confusing storyline that 4 and 5 tried to pull. The 6th game revisits the same vibe space, but does so in a more technologically advanced and experienced way, and it means a lot. So I think the antihype there can be unfair too.
I’d have liked to make an installation of a dozen of them, an altar, like you can see in some games/movies. All of them on top of each other with different angles, but showing you something in sync, before every one of them shows a glitching digital eye looking at you.
I’m not in one of them, so I do know. I’m just sceptical GOG would do that with such complications. And I’m supporting the way of correcting it with piracy or more affordable prices rather than region locking that would lead to it’s own shenanigans.
Steam services that by injecting more DRM, region-locking games (and accounts) to a set of countries like consoles do, and that is incompatible with GOG’s idea. They can let devs decide on pricing without implementing any rudimentary locks, but then it would be inconvinient for wealthy countries’ gamers to ever purchase a game in their own region unless they intent to support dev/platform. It greatly complicates their side of things and would be a very divisive decision for a smaller storefront that is built around their wholesome image.
It can come off as a logical conclusion to most people never using anything but web these days.
Singleplayer games with time-based farming simulator minigames you won’t complete without gaming the date\time in your system (easter eggs are welcome tho). Grindy platinum achievements well outside even a dedicated minority’s norms, just getting bigger numbers or save skamming for opposing endings. Button-mashers with an undisclosed randomization of a final result under the hood.
Putting a QTE or a limited time choice in a long cutscene or a level segment.
Also, Linux Mint forums, Ubuntu forums and other close distros’ forums - for questions that are likely to have been answered before. I prefer reading the thread myself rather than getting a summary, for it’s a part of the fun - knowing there are lively communities and watching users suggest different approaches, good or bad, arguing, mentioning other topics that can come up later. It’s not a systemic knowledge, rather case-by-case one, but it can be a path to some wider understanding of the OS.
