Harry Potter and Downton Abbey actress Dame Maggie Smith dies at 89
  • What a great actress. She will be missed.

  • Linux middle ground?
  • I didn't say it was. I posted the quote from the website to clarify.

  • Linux middle ground?
  • From their website:

    "Update on Your Terms

    Pop!_OS provides the latest features and security patches through rolling updates and periodic OS version upgrades, to be performed at your discretion. And if you want a clean slate, the Refresh Install feature resets your OS while preserving the files in your Home folder. "

  • DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns"
  • From the website: "We are starting with iOS and Android games because this is where most dark patterns appear, but we will be adding other platforms soon." So that looks good for your request.

    Subnautica - Time Capsule Galore

    This is near Lifepod 19, where I found a time capsule next to the pod. Then I turned around and was surprised by finding three more in one place!

    I hope all these survivors could pay their bills and actually return to earth...

    After having run Windows on my desktop for years (as I thought it was necessary for gaming), I decided to take the plunge to try out Linux again...
  • Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris also support Proton versions, since some games run best with them. But most games simply run with the latest version of Wine or Proton respectively.

  • Steam stuck on logging in for anyone else?
  • Had the same issue on 2 devices with 2 different distros, it went away by itself after around an hour.

  • Behold, Diablo is fully playable in your browser
  • If you do a quick web search, you can find 5 years old reddit posts that link to the exact same github of d07RiV that is first mentioned in the article. So I suppose DevilitionX will be around for the same amount of time.

  • Behold, Diablo is fully playable in your browser
  • This is old news, it's working for over 5 years now.

  • Thoughts on atomic distros?
  • I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

    I couldn't install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn't work 100% for me.

    I couldn't get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it's a known thing, simply I didn't know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn't edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

    Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn't use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn't have dnf for example.

    There were other little things I'm used to tinker on my system and couldn't so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.

  • Mine is set to expire: Expires / Max-Age:"Fri, 23 Aug 2024 06:40:27 GMT" - so that's in 7 days. Great find though!

  • Surveillance Watch – an interactive map revealing the intricate connections between surveillance companies, their funding sources and affiliations
  • Yes I assumed that WebGL was the culprit :). And I totally agree with you, especially when the content is about surveillance.

  • I Just Removed Ubuntu for Archcraft and my Linux PC Looks Awesome!
  • Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

    Yes that's true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I'm definitely keeping an eye on them.

  • I Just Removed Ubuntu for Archcraft and my Linux PC Looks Awesome!
  • Yes of course, that's always an option. I was just trying to look over my Mint horizon and check out other distros and how they work. Exciting!

  • Lemmy keeps logging me out
  • Just did some digging - I cannot see that mentioned post on lemm.ee support. I can find the community but the last post that shows for me is from 3 months ago and when I search for the post's title I get "no results". Bit off-topic though, sorry.

  • Lemmy keeps logging me out
  • Possibly, but I'm wondering why it's only affecting Lemmy then? (I'm using Librewolf that's based on Firefox)

  • Godot 4.3, a shared effort
  • Congrats to everyone involved! I'm really happy to see Godot thrive.

  • I Just Removed Ubuntu for Archcraft and my Linux PC Looks Awesome!
  • I like that article, I'm in a similar position at the moment. I've been using Mint on my Nvidia machine for a long time now, but with the new Mint 22 update that's also based on Ubuntu 24.04, I'm facing similar issues and so I've done some distrohopping over the past couple of weeks. I've tried Aurora/Bazzite and Nobara as Fedora based distros, Garuda and CachyOS as Arch based ones, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and probably something else I can't remember right now. All of them were great distros but had certain flaws that were offputting somehow. And I'm in no rush, since Mint 21.3 is still supported for a while.

    I'm still open to suggestions what to try next! I'm getting faster and faster with fresh installs :)

  • Lemmy keeps logging me out
  • No not at all, I just said that because I'm often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.

    Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I'm relieved to read it's not only happening to me!

    Lemmy keeps logging me out

    I have an account on lemmy.ml and two days ago it started logging me out of the website whenever I close the browser tab or browser. This behaviour does not occur on other websites where I choose to stay logged in. So my browser functionality is working as intended.

    Has anything changed on Lemmy, cause it used to work for years? Anything I can do?

    Image viewer that remembers last visited image (Linux)

    I'm looking for a FOSS image viewer on Linux that remembers the last visited image or lets me set a bookmark of some sort. Pix for example has the preference "Go to last visited location" - but that is just the folder, not the image itself. But I have folders with lots and lots of images that I work through day by day and it's tedious to find the one where I left off at the previous day.

    Or is there another way of doing it that I'm just not thinking of?

    Edit: BIG facepalm moment: I usually open the respective folder to continue working on my files. But if I simply open Pix, it remembers exactly where I left off last time. So it actually does what I was looking for, I was just not using it correctly. Thanks for all the recommendations though.

    An anticapitalist technology blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

    I know there are other ways of accomplishing that, but this might be a convenient way of doing it. I'm wondering though if Reddit is still reverting these changes?
