  • itch.io now seemingly affected by same payment processor rules as Steam

    Jump

  • Been hearing rumors that the stuff didn't just get delisted, some got removed entirely from the site, including from customer libraries that had paid for it with no refunds

    And of course, there's LGBTQ+ stuff getting flagged as porn because that's the ultimate goal of each and every one of these attacks...

    Itch.io had been very good for many, many years, and with their handling of this, in a single day they're killing any good will they had accumulated all this time....

  • The Flag of Privacy

    Jump

  • While i like the idea, this flag gives instant super-creepy vibes, i would NOT like to use it unless it's for a bad guys faction in a game or story or something like that

  • Belkin Bricks Most Wemo Smart Home Devices, Again Demonstrating You Don’t Own What You Buy

    Jump

  • It is very possible to have a full smart home setup with zero dependence on Teh Cloudz, with fallback to physical dumb switches when something goes wrong, but from what I've seen it's far less effort to have one that depends on external stuff

  • Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?

    Jump

  • We definitely are, Valve has single-handedly made Linux a viable gaming platform, but in the process became indispensable. Thanks to Gabe they've been rather good in that respect. However, whoever replaces him might not be as good as him.

  • Organic Maps fork CoMaps launches on major app stores for iOS and Android

    Jump

  • After installing it, a tiny but relevant point is to get a nicer icon that "app name in a square", Organic Maps had a nice, RECOGNIZABLE icon, CoMaps will be glossed over when looking for it a bunch of times because of it's super generic one. I imagine it's coming since they're just starting but hope that someone does have it in mind.

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

  • Thanks!

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • Given that as i mentioned elsewhere i did not separate the /home into it's own partition like I've been doing since the 90s, formatting this thing right now would likely lead to losing stuff, i need to organize the files first before i do the nuclear option: A full reformat/reinstall. If that makes no difference in the end, I'll have to consider the possibility of getting a new one. No idea how long will each step take so not the foggiest on when will i do each thing, and that's even without taking procrastination into consideration... 😅

  • ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered

    Jump

  • I keep insisting he'll kill us all one day, and it'll look freaking awesome for the milliseconds before we go blind then die in laser fire 😂

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • At this point, I'm starting to fear that either this might be the case, or that it broke in some way i haven't been able to diagnose, and for both the solution is "replacement"

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • Always, this laptop was initially installed with i think Mint 15 and had been upgraded several times

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • Will try those htop settings, kinda had forgotten it even had any settings 😅

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • It's happening with whatever is the heaviest process at the moment and has happened for months, MANY reboots since then. Usually the heaviest process is the browser, but not always

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • Nope, that's what i suspected but no, half of the 32Gb of RAM and zero or very little swap are in use when it happens, very good part of why i'm stumped

  • Bad issues with system load on Mint Desktop

    Jump

  • Ah shit, forgot to mention that, will add it to the post. Yes, it's SSD.

  • I need a new image host

    Jump

  • Imgur has been going downhill for years and keep making it more and more difficult to just host images, since the original owners sold it to a sleazy marketing outfit they no longer want it to be an image hoster but "a community" to sell ads for.

    I for one plan to self-host on my own server space. The requirements for this are basically not the same as for "Photo Gallery" kinda software (so no Immich for this), you want someplace to quickly upload images, then easily find the one you're looking for and get a direct link to the image, like Imgur used to be.

    Initially considered PictShare since it would be dead simple to set up (no database makes this super simple) and those filters are a neat feature, but in the end decided i also wanted tags and metadata which requires a DB, so for now I'm inclined in the direction of Chevereto, although it's not set in stone. If someone has a good suggestion for software to self-host images that fulfills these requirements, is easy to set up and maintain and is not too heavy I'm VERY willing to hear it.

  • why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoption

    Jump

  • As someone who loved it, this was it. We waited forever for the next release which promised a full desktop environment, it never happened, we moved on to stuff that actually existed. I understand there IS ongoing development and even forks, but i frankly have no idea how is it these days. If i found out you can just apt-get a full E-based DE tomorrow i would definitely consider dedicating time to test it, specially if it's still considered to be among the lightest, because man, when it was at it's best it was very much the promise of a Hollywood Hacker style desktop, it was awesome and you could do nearly everything on the keyboard, plus it had a gazillion themes.

  • Something curious is going on surrounding X.Org and it's forks...

    Jump

  • I'm also on Mint and X11, and intended to stay there for the moment specially since reading the latest David Revoy fully Linux FOSS guide for artists, which showed that many things are still behind in development, this may have changed since then but at least back then i decided to let it cook more before trying it out. I hope development has advanced enough that you can switch to it full time already but honestly i have no idea if it's there yet.

  • Disney and Universal sue Midjourney for making AI ripoffs of their biggest characters

    Jump

  • A study years ago found that the ideal time for copyrights to recover the investment and all that was something like 14 years or something like that (don't recall exactly), can you imagine if anything older than like 20 years automatically fell into the Public Domain? The kind of wild crazy awesome shit that would be out there?
