I just wish they would understand I already have my phone and desktop redirect YouTube links to my alternate front end I don’t need the help

I like this it’s a shame none of the programs highlighted were open source but shows commercial software can survive on Linux and he did the move correct by making the move to Linux the last step. By switching your applications first on windows then moving to Linux.

Lol zerocool is around here too. I have him tagged it’s always fun when we meet in a thread.

It’s weird but VIM is so powerful and I love it but i also agree it wouldn’t be the default just an option if you needed it. It’s like with notepad ++ on windows it’s wonderful but not everyone needs it from day one notepad will work just fine for basic typing.

You can change that by changing your editor global variable

Yeah it’s great I have a hot key super + Enter to open terminator so the mussle memory doesn’t change if I change terminals

You are welcome I’m glad you got to be the lucky 10,000

Mac is based on BSD. It itself isn’t not BSD as I can’t rip out the parts from a mac install that are proprietary only to Apple and still have a running system. OSX uses a kernel called the XNU kernel. Where The XNU stands for X is not Unix. If that doesn’t scream loud in Clear it’s not BSD I don’t know what does.

So I have played both and while I like both be aware Neva plays different. There are fail states unlike gris. So the flow is different but still good. I never got frustrated with gris and did slightly with Neva

Yeah that works too i have just run debian sid for over 20 years at this point

Or debian with distrobox and you have all the benefits of all the distros at the same time lol

I don’t normally engage with comments like these but you do realize Unix predates windows by 10 years. So much so that windows used the bsd net code is some of its network stack up till windows 8

Also to add to this is if windows users understood what kernel level anti-cheat does most people wouldn’t want it on windows ether.

The tick was to find your sever. With Quake 2 and Team Fortress Classic. You would find a server that meshed with the community that fit you and you would go to that server. You got to know the players that would come back over and over. It was a micro community in the larger community of the game. You became a regular sometimes were even giving mod rights very much like a lemmy community. Yeah there were asshats just like there is on here but you just don’t engage with them.

Hell back when quake 2 was in heat.net we would just hang out and chat in the lobby. When playing mechwarrior 2 they had clan websites and we would battle other clans in brackets. I started in that clan by just random showing up in that lobby and someone was nice and taught me how to account for lag when targeting other mechs.

It takes a little more work to find or create your community but once you do it’s so much better than the company directed dull experience. Stuff like surf servers in counterstrike or bombing run basketball servers in unreal tournament would not exist without player controlled dedicated servers.

Also scale didn’t mater since it was decentralized like lemmy is. The company didn’t have that much control of what players did with their severs. That’s what this is what this is all about control. They want to make sure you see what they want you to see to buy that cosmetic to feel fomo. To play how they want you to play. So emergent gameplay almost never happens anymore.

Yeah you can do most of that server side but they don’t want to pay for it. Why pay when your players let you coop their machine for free or even better yet pay you for the privilege. Also player run dedicated servers would fix all of this. Don’t like the cheaters movement servers. Own the server ban them. We had this working just fine in the 90s.

This is a game I beat years ago and I still think about it. The ending made me just sit there and think in silence for a while.

The interesting thing if I remember correctly is Linus whole thing was for priority software to be apart of the ecosystem. Really the low level stuff would be open and shared and any apps like user level software would be priority. There would be open source and freeware versions like on other operating systems but the foundation software would be supported by the app makers up the stack. It’s a good idea but profit at all cost companies with short term thinking always fuck it up.

I think that’s called a mac

It didn’t help they did the exclusive invite only launch of the service making it appealing to that kind of person and pushing kind of behavior to 11.

Honestly I feel the fediverse is like the 90s internet. It’s like school clubs centered around different interests and it takes a little bit of work to find your peer group but once you do it’s great. People that look to it as a replacement for Twitter are looking for a town square to shout at people and hock their wares. Anyone that makes money from engagement ether directly or indirectly are not looking for camaraderie but a market.
