Is Lenovo just doing SEO stuff here, or is there some other reason for this?

FontForge has always, for the few times I have used it, been a janky but reliable piece of software, that somehow lets me get the job done. Would be nice to have a UI overhaul, however, it really does look and feel ancient.

> Windows Vista’s file controls blow every OS out of the water.

KDE's Dolphin File manager can: 1) Split the file window in two with a simple button press. 2) Pressing F4 opens an embedded terminal in the current directory. 3) Provides a super easy way of adding network drives, and a whole view to save them to. 4) Tags for organising files / folders. 5) Pressing space puts it into a super simple "Selection Mode".

There are more alternative file managers out there than just Mac's Finder. I don't think I have ever experienced Windows "blowing me out of the water" with it's file management controls.

Don’t agree. The vast amount of KDE related projects meant that the name described so much more than just a desktop environment.

Maybe this is just a safari thing, but does anyone else see <strong> tags in the title of this article?

Use earlyoom: https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom.

Try this: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher

It has. AppImages work exactly as a user would expect them to. Even if the AppImage is not marked as executable, one of the problems I can imagine a new user encountering, Dolphin (KDE file manager) asks if I want to trust and run the file anyways.

It is on Thunderbird for just distributing a weird tar file. Preferably, their download button would take you to an installation instructions page.

Nah man, clipboard on Linux, mainly KDE, is really good. KDE splits out selected text, and ctrl+c text, into separate clipboards, allowing for some really good workflows.

Selecting text and middle clicking is so much faster than ctrl+c, ctrl+v. Having the two separate, allows you to essentially copy two separate things at once, and paste them separately, which is great for filling out forms.

Also, KDE provides an absolute gem of a clipboard manager, which stores all recent copies in to a list, from which entries can be browsed in order to recopy some text that you may have copied a while ago. IDK where you got the idea that Gnome apps have a different clipboard, as I have never experienced that. Maybe that is an old thing? Definitely not how it is now, thats for sure.

Copy/paste works on files / file-managers, images, text and HTML. This is not a Windows only experience. In fact, the clipboard manager even has little file icons, and image previews, for copied objects.

This game is quite a fun time, even if it is only a short time. I got a bunch of my mates together, and the four of us worked through the main progression. There was a great loop of venturing out to a dungeon or cave, taking on challenges greater than we could handle, managing to scrounge some expensive loot or rare gear, before returning to a village to trade with NPCs. At the time there was also a bug where a very common flower would sell for very high prices, allowing us to get a lot of gold. We could trade this for valuable health potions that help greatly in difficult dungeons.

We got a couple of nights together out of the game. However, unfortunately the game is rather short, and after we had conquered a level 6 dungeon, and obtained the best gear, there was little left to do. Development is still ongoing, and it is exciting to read the devlogs every now and then to check on the progress however. And maybe once there is enough extra content we’ll jump back in for another session.

The world generation in the game is absolutely breathtaking. Might even go as far as saying it rivals that of the new Minecraft 1.18 World generation update, at least with the mountains. And I really love the music in the game, it fits really well with the whimsical aesthetic of the game, and I get it stuck in my head every now and again, even though I haven’t heard it in months.

The game had its fair share of jank as well, as is to be expected with a (pre-alpha?) early version of the game. The movement took a while to get used to, and it felt a bit floaty at times, and didn’t always feel like I was fully in control. As well the camera was really close to the ground, which was a lot to get used to, as I am used to the taller perspective of Minecraft. However, the game does a great job of allowing the player to switch between first and third person, merely by scrolling the mouse wheel. (You can take the camera really far out too to get great cinematic screenshots, of which I have a collection)

The combat felt a bit off at times as well, as the cooldown between attacks, and the speed of the attackers often matching that of the player felt like you couldn’t escape once an enemy locked on. Luckily the middle button roll could usually get you out of attack range, but it felt like this could be improved (and I think it may have been improved since).

At the time I was playing, the trading system was also really confusing, but I believe it has been changed since.

All in all, it is well worth checking out the game. Make sure you play the nightly. Best enjoyed with a group of mates, but it is also fun just exploring by yourself. I can’t wait to see what cool stuff is still to come with this game.

Edit: added section about janky combat.

github.com gives a 500 error. However anything other than the dashboard, so github.com/moxvallix for example is working.

The thing with targeted ads is that you don't discover the thing, the thing discovers you.

I'd argue theres good reason your brain is raising red flags when you are asked if you want to allow these manipulative processes to continue.

Oh damn, I loved that book as a kid. It had these wonderful illustrations of mammoths.

Thanks to my dad attempting to restrict my internet, by installing a Disney Circle, and restricting all the streaming sites, meant that I learnt what ARP spoofing was, and how to avoid it (using the arpon tool). I learnt just a little bit more about computers and networking, by finding my way around restrictions.

(If anyone was to restrict their kids network, make it fair for them by installing lunix on their machines, so they have a fighting chance!)

I wonder what people 2000 years in the future would think if they stumbled upon the remains of my trinket collection? Would they recognise that its a collection of things I found pretty, or would it be interpreted as a sorcerer's kit? Probably not if they had an understanding of our time period, but it's fun to imagine.

KDE Connect also can be used to connect to other computers, which is super useful for quick file transfer. It's just great software!

Something I've expected for years, but have never had evidence... until now.

Haha, just got the title pun. QT and Cute.

I mean, the list is of names that have showed no sign of activity since 2010. The rule is there more to stop people just claiming good names, without ever using them.

I have given it a shot, trying to claim "game" as an account name, (as it has been inactive since 2010). I thought it would be perfect for hosting my board/card game projects on!
