: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, das Remake des Klassikers aus dem Jahr 1980, ist jetzt regulär auf veröffentlicht

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518960/Wizardry_Proving_Grounds_of_the_Mad_Overlord/

Ich trau mich nicht ran - ich hab so viele gute Erinnerungen an das Original und fürchte das Remake kann dem niemals gerecht werden. Hat's jemand von euch getestet?

Das wae auch so eine kulturelle Überraschung gewesen, als ich das Anfang der 90er mitbekommen hatte, dass Wizardry, was in Europa gefühlt unter "ferner liefen" bekannt war, in Japan so durchschlagenden Erfolg hatte, dass es sogar für den Gameboy eine Portierung gab. Hierzulande waren ja eher Bard's Tale und die Goldbox-Spiele Gesprächsthema, so zumindest mein Eindruck. Ich habe zwar gerne Ultima gespielt, kann aber seine kulturelle Wirkung nicht einschätzen.

Das habe ich ja überhaupt nicht mitbekommen! Ich habe nur die Teile 6, 7 und 8 gespielt – als ich von Wizardry das erste Mal hörte, waren mir die frühen Teile schon zu altbacken, auch wenn ihr Ruf verlockend klang. Danke für den Tipp!

Markt? klar, englisches Interview und die Journo-Experten von FOCUS uebersetzen "market" mit "Markt" statt mit Region oder Absatzmarkt.

Ach, so kriechen eben langsam englische Begrifflichkeiten in unsere Sprache. Ich kriege ja jedes Mal Gefühle, wenn ich in deutschen Texte "in 2023“ oder so lesen darf. Da ist auch aus dem englischen Wirtschaftssprech diese Formulierung rübergeschwappt. Lohnt sich nicht mehr, sich dagegen zu wehren, fürchte ich.

Sometimes I would just love to write "RTFM". I don't, it's rude, but damn, some people could really use getting an "RTFM" slapped around their ears (or rather, eyes) here and there.

I totally get it when people can't find the right spot for the info they are looking for, and that's on me. But I just had a case where the person even posted a link to a very short doc page that contained the right info under a descriptive sub heading. And I think that's not on me.

I'm a professional admin and I have to remind me of that fact on a regular basis.

But TBH man pages from rsync, curl or dnsmasq are intimidating. Yeah, I can read in the man page how to get rsync run remotely as root without ssh'ing as root but it's not really easy to find. Or interpret.

Wenn ich in meiner Gemeinde den Bau einer Windkraftanlage anregen wollte, wie ginge ich denn am sinnvollsten vor? Meine Überlegung geht in Richtung Genossenschaft, während die Gemeinde um Ausweisung geeigneter Flächen gebeten wird. Gibt es da Initiativen, die beratend zur Seite stehen?

apt-key is deprecated... then at least tell me what to do instead Ubuntu :angry_cirno: and why don't you just migrate it for me?

@kaia
It's documented in the man page but tbh it took me some time to generate some actionables out of it.

Basically just put unarmoured gpg keys into /etc/apt/keyrings and then reference the correct key in the sources.list.d/*.list for each deb entry.

@cassidy There's an artist who made a rather large icon pack, currently it's on F-Droid. He asked for someone flatpak'ing it for Linux but I'm unsure if there's a way to integrate such icons system-wide. I could imagine building some kind of SDK extension for using those icone but the goal is to make them available for tinkering in system themes. Here's the thread in question: https://mastodon.green/@mondstern/111184282105195015

Do you have an idea or is it impossible to begin with?

few years back the German state offered some stuff as reparation to my family for being expropriated under Hitler and the Communists. their deal was great: pay nothing to get something worth nothing, but you sign that you build it up again according to building codes and historical protection, keep it in good repair and open it to the public once done. what a great deal :SoraWow: and if you decline you'll not get a thing since you were offered reparations.

@apps Can you do something about the video play icon not being recognizable on white background? Or doesn't the library you use allow you to change the icon?

I'd prefer it a) being bigger and b) having a drop shadow or similar to make it distinguishable from light backgrounds.

It's amazing how many open source bros will come out of the woodwork to mansplain at you if you make a fairly uncontroversial statement like "it'd be nice if they changed the name of that photo editor to something that wasn't an ableist perjorative", and yet, here we are.

@chrissn @Homebrewandhacking @dierksen @tess But what about the word "gimp"? I'm now in my mid-40s, I thought of myself as being quite proficient in the English language but the discussion around the graphics program was the first time I ever heard of this other meaning. How prominent is the slur 'gimp' actually nowadays?

@dierksen
I'm no English native speaker but isn't git itself a pejorative term? I cannot fathom how it compares to GIMP, though.

Trying to get a Linux laptop to work with external monitors for the first time and oof. It is not the year of the Linux desktop. Monitors disappear and reappear randomly, with different names and orders, screwing up any scripting I have trying to configure them. That's when they bother to show up at all. I'm sure it all works great on desktop machines where monitors aren't being added and removed dynamically all the time, but external hardware with my Linux laptop has never been a pleasant experience. Using the laptop by itself, though, is always perfect.

In my experience in IT support all major OSs suck at this. They all crash at some point after plugging port replicators, docking stations and the like too often. Yes, even macOS.

@apps Is there a way to customise the thread / discussion view in Fedilab? When I tap on a reply to a discussion in my timeline, Fedilab loads the whole discussion (as seen by my instance) but jumps to the top. My expectation is for it to jump to the toot I tapped enabling me to read the context of the reply. Also displaying all branching toots gets quite overwhelming.

Yeah, basically how Twitter did it wasn't that bad.

@apps Did you consider implementing support for https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/markers/ for switching devices for reading? I use Fedilab on my tablet at home but rarely on my phone because my timeline position isn't synced across my devices.

online anti cheats are the worst thing

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux...

I'd have said that cheating is the worst. Especially in the light of all the measures the software studios have to take to protect honest gamers from being taken advantage of.
