Really wish the native build wasn’t a Steam exclusive.

I knew once kliksphilip makes a video about it would be one of the best ones to communicate the intent of the initiative.

I tried to look for what the right term was, and this was what I found. Doesn’t make sense to me either. What I meant was the rounded corners.

We’re still stuck with curved screens, camera holes and no headphone jacks? I mean I’d still buy this one if I had to buy one, but I’m glad I got Fairphone 3 when it was still on the shelves. Even if it is a bit slow and memory starved.

I’m assuming this is more about art assets. Art is not code and you shouldn’t expect them for free. It’s not a catch.

I think the original question could be about the protocol. Why not use Matrix as the protocol for the project? No one is doing the work to bring a Matrix-based Discord alternative because they’re a) on Discord b) creatin IRC face-lifts like Element c) refusing to quit IRC d) making projects with bespoke protocols like this one. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

These plugins just never work quite as well as a browser made specifically for it, namely Qutebrowser. Trouble with Qutebrowser is that’s it’s Python and parsing a lot of links slows it down. Still the best browser out there for this use case though, as far as I know.

Qtox should work? It’s not a very good chat software and a bit cumbersome, but it allows direct file transfers.

Sad to see 'cause it feels like we need Pirate Parties more than ever.

“Record result” doesn’t even begin to describe how hard they shattered their previous number. They went from 7% last election to 17%. Left Alliance has never seen numbers like this as far as I know.

I’m glad there’s finally some real backlash for this shit.

The same old, tired and stupid control layout and no trackpads. How do you even begin to make a PC handheld and not offer any mouse cursor controls? All the Steam Competitors do is up the specs to stupid numbers and appeal to familiarity. It’s both disappointing and something should’ve expected.

Even if we choose to ignore how unethical and self-centered this argument is (for any country), a lot of US influence, affluence and indeed global stability right now hinges on the US military might being there to reliably challenge authoritarian aggression on its allies and partners. The second US starts showing cracks in that reliability (with the extremist MAGA wing and all), authoritarian leaders start seeing opportunities to test the waters, literally as well.

This notion somehow assumes that the US achieved and can continue its status disconnected from the rest of the world’s security and it’s bonkers. Even the otherwise sound argument for increased defense spending in Europe is made moot by the Russo-Ukrainian war as it’ll obviously increase spending in Europe. Spending that could be largely funneled in to the US military-industrial complex, recouping from what gets sent if they signal their commitment and keep sending their late cold-war era kit to grind down one of their two most serious threats. Without a single US troop on the ground.

It’s hard to think of a bigger foreign policy W for the US with its otherwise controversial bloated military and more fitting use for what’s already built for this exact purpose, but it doesn’t seem important to the extremist wing.

The Finnish populist right wing has generally been very critical of Russia, especially the leading figure Jussi Halla-Aho. Even though I think some of them have sympathised with the “conservative values” that the Russian leaders like to represent.

The topic of continuing Ukraine support didn’t even come up in any debates during elections 'cause everyone’s on the same page anyway.

Ought to remember South Korea’s and Japan’s contributions once/if Xi starts shit.

My previous attempt at getting Reddit mods onboard was entirely ignored, but I suppose I’ll try asking r/Ukraine. If I can get a senior mod from there active here then I’ll defer further mod appointments to them. Otherwise I’ll start picking.

On an offtopic personal note, it’s the live update threads I miss the most.

The map system is so good for this. If you manage to get the bewildering learning curve, it’s so nice to come home from work and spin a few maps to relax and pick up loot. PoE is so overwhelmingly easily my choice as well.

Wish I could stand all the vehicle events in Halo games.
