Old vs. new hardware is difficult. New hardware can also do the same with lower energy consumption.

It’s impossible to calculate, but the tipping point would be where the saved energy surpasses the energy needed for producing and transporting the hardware.

I’m quite sure that my raspi4 is more powerful, smaller, less noisy and requires less energy than my oldest computer.

The thing is just that they rarely only improve the efficiency.

In the mean time EU will require systems that automatically do emergency breaks and also different signaling for emergency breaks.

It’s the reason why they prefer to offer only assistence systems. Aside from warning they can act, but they don’t drive on there own. EU will even require some systems for new cars. They’ll especially annoy people who ignore speed limits and don’t use turn lights.

Plot twist: they are both verbs and nouns, but the noun affect only gets used in psychology

From wiktionary:

“New governing coalitions have effected major changes” indicates that major changes were made as a result of new governing coalitions.

“New governing coalitions have affected major changes” indicates that before new governing coalitions, major changes were in place, and that the new governing coalitions had some influence over those existing changes.

Bold to assume I’m not a plant

I don’t have any issues on my desktop either, they both work there fine

You generally need to get software and hardware that is compatible with your operating system and processor architecture. It’s true that the most used platforms will have the best support, but you have that problem with any OS.

And it’s also not like games with anti cheat generally don’t work with Linux. Proton+Steam does support Valve Anti-Cheat, Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye. It’s just that developers have to explicitly enable Linux support for EAC and BattlEye.

Well, finding and reading this file definitely takes some effort, but an attacker can get your passwords that way as long as kwallet is unlocked.

They just need to run kwallet-query -r KeepassXC kdewallet to get the password and then download ~/passwords.kdbx

Games originating in modding communities:

• 0ad
• SpringRTS
• OpenRA (total conversion mods required)
• OpenTTD
• The Dark Mod (Mod for DOOM 3, but is not FPS)

Games that are also sold on app stores, steam etc:

• shattered pixel dungeon
• mindustry
• keeperrl (only ascii version is free and I don’t know how playable it is in that state)

Games that are around for quite some time or gained quite a community around it at some point:

• The Battle of Wesnoth
• Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
• BrogueCE (animated ascii graphics)
• Minetest
• Super TuxKart
• Super Tux
• Hedgewars

Open sourced commercial games:

• Castle Doctrine
• Warzone 2100
• Soldat
• Astromenace

Though for those who are more engines (SpringRTS and minetest) the quality really depends on the mods you are playing.

Some stuff I just found and never played myself:

• Catburglar
• Roboden

Open sourced commercial games:

• Charge Kid
• duelyst
• Super Lemonade Factory
• OpenClonk
• Seven Kingdoms

Assets are unfree but freely accessible:

• Cendric2 (nc-nd)
• Star Ruler (nc without music)
• Cart Life (freeware)
• Postal (freeware)
• Pocket Island (nc-sa)
• Strange Adventures in Infinite Space (nc)

I’m not sure about whether these games got 100% FLOSSed or still require bought assets:

• BYTEPATH

A special case because these use CC BY-NC-SA even for source code, which is effectively unfree. They are ports of older Mac games, but most are 3D:

• Mighty Mike
• Cro-Mag Rally
• Bugdom 1
• Bugdom 2
• Billy Frontier
• Nanosaur 1
• Nanosaur 2
• Otto Matic

The “problem” with the open source game landscape is, that a lot of games are either focused on multiplayer or have randomly generated worlds, because that developers can play that too. There are games with single player story line, I think open sourced commercial games are doing a bit better with this. Commercial open source games that are open source from the beginning are a newer development.

The canvas supported loading an overlay, with that you could organize pixeling. It also must be said that there didn’t happen thaaaat much on the canvas, it was absolutely possible to draw small things completely on your own.

The brony community was probably the best organized one.

The german flag itself was mostly unorganized. Simple flags work well without much organization. The little organization that was done was posted on !ich_iel@feddit.de

There was also some stuff posted in other communities, in this community and elsewhere. A little bit coordination also happened on the canvas matrix channel. I posted a proposal for artwork on the flag here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/1683751

The Maus, EU flag and ich_iel banner were done by other people in other threads. I added to the !hessisch_iel handle, ich_iel banner and EU flag to my template later on since I distributed it via my webserver and it was easy to update: https://basxto.de/leinwand.png

I also did post a template on !pixeldungeon@lemmy.world https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1430716 distributed via https://basxto.de/pixeldungeon_canvas.png

The void started here https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1400702 but wasn’t really organized

I didn’t notice any apps yet and I definitely don’t use any kind of ad blocking.

If the CPUs get strong enough, they could run old raytracing games at some point … especially on hardware platforms that don’t have ray tracing GPUs available for them.

It doesn’t look like that’s open source in any way.

DP also has the DRMs HDCP 2.2 and DisplayPort content protection 1.0

And MPEG LA claims they have patents that are needed to implement the DP standard.

1. TDM doesn’t qualify for the open source definition in the previous post. The assests don’t permit commercial use.
2. I looked at this WAD and it contains .zsc scripts. I couldn’t find any form of license. That means it’s not open source and you are probably not even allowed to redistribute it.

You can’t put TDM and Ashes in a repo of a commercial Linux distribution.

Awesome that this game is back.

No. Privacy alone is hard and tricky. ICANN doesn’t really allow privacy. Though NICs located within the EU protect your privacy since they have to comply with GDPR. ICANN tolerates that they break their rules and works on rew rules that allow to comply with GDPR. ICANN requires your mail address, phone number and email address to be publicly available via whois. You don’t offially own the domain when a registrar offers private registration where they put there their own contact data.

Pixelfed is a thing, though images don’t have to be openly licensed.

I just found openverse, but it’s a fundamentally different thing. It’s a crawler and search for openly licensed images, but it doesn’t host itself. Depending on your usecase that can be an alternative. It has a link to the original site for downloading the pic, but tools like gallery-dl should be able to download it at that point. That means you should be able to find and download images without ever interacting with a proprietary frontend. (didn’t try it)

There are two ways of doing doing bullet points (unordered lists) in markdown:

- now using ULWGL-protonfixes
- can now call the winetricks gui using `util.protontricks(‘gui’)`
- winetricks now performs an internet check before attempting any downloads
[…]
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed: Impact
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed 2: Assault
* protonfixes added for Alien Breed 3: Descent
* protonfixes added for Black Desert Online `NOSTEAM=1` option. Launch game like `NOSTEAM=1 %command%` to launch non-steam standalone version. 

It also supports ordered lists:

1. fixed `[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init()` failed; no appID found. from being reported when running non-steam games
2. non-steam games will now run using wine inside proton rather than calling steam.exe with wine then the game inside steam -- this goes alongside the API failure fix
3. controller axis patch added from 8-27 has been removed as it is now properly upstreamed
