What’s “freedom of assembly” precious?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Thanks for letting me know. There was some sketchiness with a dot com site being Cypriot, like maybe it was for tax purposes, rights or something, but I hadn’t investigated it too much.

I’m glad I caught this early, thanks for posting it.
Link to Quad9’s DNS services. Besides Mullvad, which I’ve now changed to Quad9, I use Adguard.com (Cypriot company), LibreDNS.gr (Greek) and UncensoredDNS.org (Danish). They all support both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS.
Anyone got other European recommendations? - Comment on itch.io upgraded their app to support Steam shortcuts, a headless mode and linking existing downloads 6 days ago:
Oh, that’s not so practical then. And no way to get it to download the full installers like GOG Galaxy can do?
- Comment on itch.io upgraded their app to support Steam shortcuts, a headless mode and linking existing downloads 1 week ago:
I’ve been out of the loop. I didn’t know Itch.io had an app, and by the look of the github page they have linux releases going back to late 2015.

Youtube premium rose by ~15% where I live as well.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass May Soon Work on Linux 1 week ago:
I have but one title in the Microsoft Store library that I’d like to revisit here on Linux sometime before their game servers gets shut down: Sea of Thieves. I don’t know what made me think buying a game there was a good idea…
But this Xodus project is giving me hope! - Comment on 8BitDo announce 'Ultimate Software Online' to update controllers in your browser to help Linux gamers 1 week ago:
I have a Pro 2, so unfortunately no support through that site yet. It’s perfectly possible, but annoying, to passthrough USB to a Windows virtual machine, which is what I’ve done in the past.
- Comment on Reddit signals ominous upcoming "changes” for old.reddit.com 3 weeks ago:
I’d seen some hiccups where reddit tried to convince me for a few ours at a time that I needed login to old.reddit.com, and then later on it’d work again, but today it seems to have stuck.
Then I tried a VPN with location set to USA and it worked again. So I dunno, but I’m going to treat it as dead from today.
I can’t believe they’re pulling a “Digg”. Ironic.
It’s also funny how close it coincides with Google forcing Chromium to stop supporting Manifest v2 here by the end of August 2026. - Comment on Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million 5 months ago:
Remember when Martin Shkreli was thrown in jail for hiking the price of medicine by 5555%? That was 2017, but when something like this happens in 2026 nobody bats an eye.
- Comment on Firm quietly boosts H.264 streaming license fees from $100,000 up to staggering $4.5 million 5 months ago:
AV1 has recently gotten involved in a lawsuit by Dolby saying that they’re breaking like 5 of their patent, so there’s some issues there as well.

It feels like a lifetime ago when everyone was talking about NTsync, glad it’s finally here for Wine as well.
- Comment on Rocket League is adding Easy Anti-Cheat, Psyonix say Linux will still be supported with Proton 6 months ago:
True, I was aware of the bots out now. I also follow RLBotOfficial on twitch who have had bot tournaments for years. Originally it was just hardcoded bots that wasn’t all that impressive, but with LLM technology they’ve gotten so incredibly good.
- Comment on Unreal Tournament 2004 is now grabbable for free and optimised for modern PCs, thanks to dedicated fans 6 months ago:
Wake me up when they make a Unreal Tournament 2003 installer.
- Comment on Rocket League is adding Easy Anti-Cheat, Psyonix say Linux will still be supported with Proton 6 months ago:
I’ve never really seen cheaters in RL, but then again, I stopped played ranked like 5 years ago.
It does sound like good news that they’re not enforcing anticheat that’ll make it harder on us Linux gamers.I wonder how their “port to UE5”-project is going…
- Comment on Edmund McMillen on assembling Mewgenics' meow cameo list: "the inclusion of people with clashing ideologies felt appropriate" 6 months ago:
Some surprising names there like Cliff Bleszinski, Mike Stoklasa and Rich Evans.
- Comment on Interplay co-founder and pioneering game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at 62 9 months ago:
Shows how fast life goes by. She came out at 40 years old, only got to live 1/3rd of her life as gender she felt was the right one. Her wife, Jennell Jaquays, also a trans woman, died last year in January. Sad story.
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 10 months ago:
I don’t even get why people are addicted to them. I watch at most 5 a day. And most days 0. I guess that’s the advantage of desktop, the controls aren’t dumbed down to just flicking my finger across the screen.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 mods are flowing, offering quicker movement, more blood, and a manicure 10 months ago:
I was kind of hopeful seeing as Paradox was backing it, but alas.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 mods are flowing, offering quicker movement, more blood, and a manicure 10 months ago:
Oof, it’s not getting good reviews. Apparently there’s no inventory, no items and no roleplay elements. I don’t even know what the game is then, but it doesn’t seem like a successor to the original game.
- Comment on Fight the nazis to rescue your dog in the new free shooter Darkenstein 3D out now 10 months ago:
I’m a middle aged man now, I was around when 3D acceleration became a thing for PC, first with Voodoo 1 and so on and so forth. And let me tell ya, you don’t need 18 gigs for these graphics. Or maybe you do, maybe it takes like 200 hours to complete the game, idk. I’m just complaining about the compression.
- Comment on Fight the nazis to rescue your dog in the new free shooter Darkenstein 3D out now 10 months ago:
Jeez, 18.6 gigs for a game that looks like that. I’m going to play it anyway of course, but I wonder why, with low res textures and models, that it takes that much space. Engine?
- Comment on Xubuntu website hijacked to serve malware 10 months ago:
I saw a video on this yesterday. Apparently it’s a crypto scam thing.
- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 10 months ago:
If by dealt with immediately they let him go and just gave him a 30 day ban initially, then yes. She had to talk to her manager who then talked to Twitch who then upped that ban to a permanent one. And I don’t even think the police has been involved yet.
Amazon wanted to brush this under the carpet…
I really miss the pre-amazon days of Twitch… - Comment on GOG say their preservation program has been "harder than we thought", thanks to DRM and elusive creators 10 months ago:
Yeah, the “elusive creators” is a tough nut. If some company went bankrupt 10-20 years ago, and no trace of who holds the IP etc. that’s a lot of detective work.
- Comment on Verified Steam game steals streamer's cancer treatment donations 11 months ago:
I saw this earlier today, the clip on lsf to be precise.
Modern computing sucks. I remember downloading sketchy shit from astalavista.box.sk all the time, and because of that I had toformat c:several times a year. But these days? Scary stuff. Luckily I don’t have crypto. And while proton on linux simulates a sandboxed windows environment, there’s still free access to root via the Z: drive that wine sets up, so unless one uses the flatpak version which is even more sandboxed, there’s still some potential danger there even as a linux user. It’s just a matter of when. - Comment on NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together 11 months ago:
Why does this feel like Google investing into Mozilla to avoid a monopoly lawsuit?
- Comment on Super Mario Bros Remastered open source fan project brings an impressive remake to PC 11 months ago:
Let’s see how long that lasts. I’m just glad I grew up on Sega in the 90s. It can’t be easy being a fan of Nintendo…
- Comment on If you've given up on Civilization 7, Civ 6 is free with all DLC expansions for a limited time on Epic Games Store 1 year ago:
I’m 1500 hours away from hitting 10k in Civ 5. I think I’ll stick with that for a few years more until LEKMOD stops being updated, and then I’ll think about giving 6 a chance…
