Small-time opensource developer, big-time opensource user.

I like to run.

  • Debian has no software and no ports like system which makes it difficult to get software.

    Oh boy. So much ignorance concentrated in so few words. 😬

  • That works until there is a critical security issue which doesn't care about your free time, but needs an update right now, and you might not be able to only apply the security fix, because your rolling distro gallops ahead in package version numbers.

    Give me older, but stable and boring over that any day. :)

    I've been running Gentoo and Arch on my primary desktop PC for years back when I was a student and had oodles of free time, but in past decade, Debian is what I need. Including what little gaming I do some evenings.

  • Debian (or Linux Mint Debian Edition) - ol’ reliable, may have some issues on newer games

    Used to, in the first year after Steam Linux client released, because of old libc. But since then, I've had only one or two games not work because of nvidia drivers not being new enough.

  • I spent many hours as a kid playing X-Wing.

    And it was many hours before I somehow learned that you can actually configure your ship to regenerate both lasers and shields (at the expense of max speed) - until then, I thought I simply have limited ammo, and was frustrated as I was unable to finish a single mission because I always ran out of pew-pew. :)

    This could be fun once it's finished.

  • Ooh, another one? I hope it will be good.

    I am currently playing Kathy Rain 2, and quite enjoying it. Before, I played Elroy And The Aliens and a bit older Unforeseen Incidents - both very good adventure games. Let's hope the trend continues. :)

  • I kind of liked the first one, for a few hours. After that, I remember thinking there is no meaningful progression, or motivation to keep playing, and I never returned to it.

    I also remember thinking that the mechanics are enjoyable, but they need an actual game on top of them, instead of a tech demo. Hopefully this is that game. :)

  • Sooner or later, people will get confused and we'll end up with a crop of solarbeans. :)

  • Holy misleading project name, Batman!

  • My condolences, and welcome!

  • I must be doing something wrong with my 15 years old Debian installation, then.

  • If you ever need to ask yourself this, you ain't no friend of mine...

  • They don't seem to be getting destroyed, though...

  • I think they chose to focus more on the human warmth and positive vibes, and, dare I say, normalcy, to contrast with Trump's themes of hate and inhumanity that his campaign even seems to be ratcheting up in these final days.

  • He smirked at the compliment. “What’s discipline got to do with winning?”

    That right there tells me all I ever want to know about Trump and how he sees competition.

  • Not an American, so I do not feel called out, nor do I care about downvotes from idiots who think Lemmy threads are here to be won or lost by getting or giving out good and bad points. :)

    EDIT: By "idiots", I didn't necessarily mean you. Only after posting this comment I realized that it could be understood that way. Sorry.

  • Thanks, now that makes things clearer - on Wikipedia, I noticed this "if resident of a US state" exception for voting, but I automatically dismissed it as unimportant, thinking "eh, that has to be a very small fraction of Puerto Ricans".

  • Thanks everyone for the informative responses - as a non-US person, I wasn't aware of the intricacies of Puerto Rico's unusual voting situation. 👍

  • Wait, I thought Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in the presidential elections. Even Wikipedia seems to think so.

  • That's an odd way to misspell "young incels"...
