The Xfce Wayland road-map on the project’s Wiki has been updated a few times over the past two weeks, namely around the desktop panel plug-ins and applications support for Wayland. There still isn’t a firm timeline or release where they expect to have a complete Xfce Wayland transition complete, but ultimately are aiming to...
I got a cheap netbook style laptop for traveling some weeks ago (HP Stream 11" with 4 GB of RAM and a N4120). Didn’t expect much more from this hardware than opening a few browser tabs and doing some retro gaming via Steam....
From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."
The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.
With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.
I’ve had this question looking at the Quake con sale, and Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is for sale on both platforms. I ended up buying it on GOG. What is your opinion?
I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master's in public relations.
Nope. You call them up and go, "This is happening and we're running a story. Care to comment?" You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn't have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can't. You're still holding them accountable. You're just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont' comment, you include that.
Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They're doing great work. But that's a miss in this whole thing.
OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.
Hello all! I’ve been playing a fair amount of AGoAC and I’ve decided to start looking into running tanks, hovercraft, and such. What’s a good resource to learn the basic names of the units and their loadouts? I assume there’s a TRO or it’s in TW, but I wanted to start by asking here....
As always, MegaMek is a great resource for this stuff. I sort by year, and then by vehicles. See if there's any names you recognize, like the Manticore or Savannah Master. I sort down to up, then go as close to 3025 as I can. That stuff is Succession Wars stuff, and the standard versions all seem to be great starting points.
A lot of debate today about “community” vs “corporate”-driven distributions. I (think I) understand the basic difference between the two, but what confuses me is when I read, for example:...
REALLY proud of this one. I dry-brushed on Spaceship Exterior for Army Painter over a black primer, then highlighted the windows and lasers in a way that I feel really makes it pop. New personal best.
Hey everyone, just kind of a mod announcement: I'm looking to improve our federation with Lemmy. If I look at this from my lemmy.world account, I don't see any posts. Does anyone know how to improve this?
It looks like somehow we've started feeding that instance, but only with our new content. I hope that kbin and Lemmy integration improves in future versions.
I'm looking for help getting my magazine more exposure on the Fediverse. When I look at it from Lemmy.world, the magazine appears blank. But it definitely isn't. Is there a certain way to get other Fediverse sites to see content there?

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
