In case anyone else is also interested in the "what kind of music", this is straight from the study: >>The patients were asked to choose their preferred music from two prerecorded instrumental musical pieces ins

Oh, that's right! They use KDE only for the Desktop Mode operation, not the normal one. So yes, not much is impacted.

This is interesting to me, because SteamOS, so Steam Deck uses KDE. I really wonder how they are going to tackle going from X to Wayland on 4 million machines, and what that will bring.

1. It's the other way around: because people don't care that much, that's why there is almost exclusively proprietary hardware around. 2. The people who require the "higher grades" of being open source are simply no

And, for this reason, different entities ship different versions of the Linux kernel (and system) as well. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel The simple statement that it's not 100% open source is

I stopped drinking caffeine in my everydays, reserving it for occasions that are more meaningful to me, like a weekend of chores around the house, or going out to a party. Drinking it every day makes me a bit jittery and anxious, and I feel

Maybe there are other factors too, I'm not very sure. When there are thin light lines on a dark background, that's really hard to look at for me. And strangely, the same dark lines on a light background don't bother me at all

Yes and to make it worse, sometimes the unstyled paste shortcut doesn't work. For example, in Microsoft Notes.

I'd guess so, yes. I think dark mode users leave the screen brighter than it should be, because in dark mode, it doesn't matter as much as it does in light mode. Then, after looking at dark things for a while, the eye gets used to

Many of these haters have astigmatism, which makes the dark mode hard to see for them. I don't think all of the people who have this realize they have this, so, it gets directed against the dark mode itself.

I use the OS provided Night Light feature everywhere for this, and my eyes are loving it. I have it set up to follow the day-night cycle, so during the day it doesn't get overly sepia.

by npteljes 10mo ago
Wiki already has the functionality for dark mode, but loads the light mode as default. They even have the Automatic option, but the user has to select it, so, it's like semi-automatic. They really are just single line modification away

I have good news for you, the article is back in business, and the discussion is happening!

by npteljes 10mo ago
I mean, there is not much substance in the article, but I agree. I don't like dark mode too much either. I read that people with astigmatism, so cylindrical sight, don't handle dark mode well. I'm not sure how true this is, b

Happy to hear that! Have you also played Fall Guys? How do they compare? I haven't played platformers for two decades now, but looking at the Mario screenshots, I got an immediate Fall Guys feeling.

Create text in higher resolution, rasterize it, warp it would be my process, if I needed to curve the characters themselves too. In case I didn't, because the shape is not that small compared to the text, simply wrapping around the sha

In case you launch the GOG game because of Proton, then I suggest using Heroic launcher to start it instead. You can use Proton there too, automatically downloads and everything, same as Steam. And there will be no clashes with Steam.

DRM is optional on Steam, many games don't have it (or roll their own). In many cases of Steam DRM, activation is only one-time, after that, granted the hardware doesn't change significantly, the player can be offline indefinitely

That's how it works in Linux land for two reasons. One, drivers live in the kernel (roughly). Two, Linux is aftermarket for many hardware, in which cases there's hardware first, then the support.

>A reminder that urgency fades, context grows, and perspective is a habit. That is such a great line. I also feel like 99% of the news is just noise, in terms of not adding anything actionable to our lives, nor is it growing our perspe

I didn't catch on to that at all. I even wrote my own comment, but seeing your reaction to the other guys' comments, I have re-read your original, and frankly, couldn't figure it out. I have asked ChatGPT and it decoded your

by npteljes 10mo ago
I read the comment several times, and I can't figure out your intent, or the message, because of how much it's coded in doublespeak. That might also be what trips others up.
24.
by npteljes 10mo ago
I completely agree. To me, it's the same with adventure, and platformer games and 2D. I think the key is symbolism. In 2D, graphics are more about communicating intent, 3D is more for realism - or maybe this is just the trap they fall

Genres also come and go. Arena shooters are also out for a long time, compared to 95-2005. Or point and click adventure games. I think there are a huge amount of players who are genre agnostic, or, not even "gamers", and just jump

They are not this cynical over it, it's part of a plan. What they figure is that they can keep MS the de-facto standard this way. Photoshop worked the same way for very long.

I'm sure there's a lot they could do, but I think even is the worst scenarios, SteamOS would still be a vibrant indie platform, with many major releases from studios who dgaf about Microsoft specifically. We'll see for sure,

Try giving LTSC versions a go. Parents get a Windows, and you get much less headaches. Those get long security updates (Win 10 still being updated until 2032 for example), and they get no feature updates. The bloat is also cut down, no Stor

This is exactly why Valve's work is important with SteamOS. The more SteamOS devices people use, the more of a viable market they are, and so, a direct incentive is born, against locking games out of Linux. Personally, I don't thi

Depending on the landscape, it will not be up to Microsoft, though. If enough SteamOS machines are on the market, it will be a viable target platform on its own, and then, even if MS had a special part of the API, the developers won't
