• Castle Crashers is a classic multiplayer beat-em-up. Plays great on Proton (if that’s important).
• Lost Castle is in a similar vein, though more roguelike.
• River City Girls (and sequels) is either great arcade brawler.
• Neurovoider

Great indie co-op games:

• Deep Rock Galactic. No split screen, but endlessly repayable with goals and targets in each mission. Also fun in solo.
• Caveblazers
• Guacamelee
• Tunche

Upcoming games to consider:

• Wizard of Legend 2

A good sign. Other community distros have already done that, but this is a good sign to the larger community that Wayland is basically ready for prime time.

I had to practice in a VM before even considering vanilla Arch. No way am I going to fiddle around with getting everything right on bare metal.

Seconded. Also, Garuda “Dr4g0nized” is gaming focused and Arch under the hood, for a more traditional option.

Thank you, Larry. You will be missed.

Great writeup! I have a Brother laser printer, too, and it never occurred to me that I’d need to worry about compatibility when I fully migrate (and at least three immutable distros have been in my top five candidates).

Something else for me to keep in mind!

It’s more the other edge of immutable distros, in this particular case. The entire point is that the system files can’t be modified, but that means working within those restrictions via layering can be tricky in certain cases.

Agreed. Depending on the business sector, the PR damage could be worse than the cost of litigation.

My company has a very expensive software product they sell to other businesses (to the tune of millions of dollars a year per customer), and the cost is a hurdle the salespeople have to overcome. If there was litigation against them over trampling another business, that doesn’t exactly instill confidence in a trustworthy business relationship. So they pay their licensing costs.

I’ve read that some people are going back to simpler tech stacks, and it feels like they’re just leaving money on the table if that demographic continues to grow.

Who knows, though? Maybe somebody new will fill in that niche.

TBH, I use Powershell on my Windows install, and they’ve made some good improvements over the years. I forget that it also works on Linux.

Shame v1.0 ships with new installations, and you have to manually go out and install the latest versions to get the benefits. Dunno why MS doesn’t just automatically update it with everything else.

Or it could be as simple as forgetting to renew the domain registration. Maybe they’ll make a statement

Yep, and it’s worse once all the images are loaded. Maybe Lemmy or Boost are preloading the full image into memory, and it’s hitting the memory hard.

Scroll is fine on browser once all the images are loaded.

funkwhale.agapimou.top is a Funkwhale instance, and it seems to be running, so it must just be that one instance.

I wonder if it got hit with some kind of dmca shenanigans.

Funkwhale is part of the Fediverse. The site they mention is a single instance.

ETA: It’s a single instance, but also the main landing page for feeding people to various docs and instances.

Pixel 4a. Some laggy behavior, but I wouldn’t call it significant given that it’s full of embedded images. Even when I open it in my browser, it’s taking forever to load the images.

I have Outemu switches, and I haven’t had problems bending pins back. And as someone who majored in metalsmithing in college, as long as it’s not obviously cracked or loose-feeling before you install, you shouldn’t have to worry about it breaking inside the keyboard.

Just try to keep the corrective adjustment to a minimum (i.e. don’t go back and forth), and you shouldn’t have to worry about work-hardening the pin to the point of breaking.

Use a set of flat-jawed pliers, if you have them, try not to crush the pin, and you should be fine. If you do decide to order a full set, iirc they often come with a few extra switches to cover any bad ones.

I’m all for it. Glider Pro for MacOS 9 and below released its code in a sort of “as is” state a few years ago, and thankfully, some skilled devs took it up and ported it to modern systems.

It’s a game I would have sorely missed, having long since left the Apple ecosystem (and that game was also PPC-only). We’ll still lose even open source games, but at least people would then have the option to preserve them.

Another user reported that theirs is already working. I don’t own the game, so I can’t verify.
