It’s a cracked version of the game that has been heavily compressed to reduce download size. This is why the installer will eat a lot of CPU resources during installation. While you probably won’t be banned, I would generally avoid playing these games through steam as a precaution. Usually multiplayer doesn’t work normally anyways.

I wonder when the employees knew. From the news it looks like the closure had been decided on the C-level.

I would not be surprised if a new studio springs into existence from this.

I know this is the FOSS community but I personally recommend inoreader. It has great usability through its keyboard shortcuts and the ability to pull the full article from the website without clutter (similar to reader add-ons).

If anyone knows a FOSS alternative with similar features, I’d like to know.

Not really related to political philosophy but Uncle Bob’s book on the philosophy of a good programmer also comes to mind: Clean Coder

There is always the web version that also runs on Android: https://vscode.dev/

My guess is that it goes back to when your instance first started following the community or all the way in case of a local community.

While traveling an American also admitted that it was refreshing to get a straight answer to their questions instead of the usual “bs and second guessing”. Seems like it must be hard to have a serious conversation in the states.

These guys seem to agree https://zed.dev/

Yeah I meant the intentional degradation. Good to know they don’t do that anymore.

I live in Munich and it’s not crazy here at all. At least by American standards. While people call Munich a big village it does not come with the backwards political attitude of villages and people generally don’t openly advertise their political views. The state of Bavaria often likes to protrait itself as first among equals in politics which I think is where the reports of conservatism come from but it’s not a problem I think.

Ok the queer subject: there has been a specifically gay subculture in Munich for quite a while and I think there are quite some queer folks in the local chaos computer club chapter as well. The Christopher street day is also celebrated in Munich.

Munich is a beautiful city, I’m sure you will feel quite at home once you got past the (comparatively) frosty German attitude and made some friends :)

Unlike Apple, Android phones do not kill their battery life after 3 years. On the contrary, I swapped my S9’s battery myself and have it a longer life as a secondary phone for traveling or backup. With the restored battery that old exynos chip is still good enough to run most apps to my satisfaction. Even my newer one is not a current gen model. For me, the only reason to upgrade anymore is security updates and most users don’t even care about that. Okay, maybe the cameras still keep getting better but only marginally.

OSM is one of the sources for this and apparently the plan is for this dataset to feed back into OSM as well

Voidtools’ Everything for Android would be cool indeed. But iirc androids filesystem already has a global database of files, no? So shouldn’t any file manager be able to quickly find anything in there without walking the hierarchy?

I’m honestly quite happy with my Samsungs so far. Had an S9 and currently use an S21.

I honestly prefer the Samsung apps over the Google apps most of the time. They also integrate better with non google stuff. Especially calendar, contacts and mail. The Bixby button has been gone for a while now and most of the bloatware is hidden away well enough to be able to ignore it easily.

The irreversible bootloader unlock is quite the shame really because it will cause most banking apps to refuse to work so I never unlockedy bootloader. I used to do this on my nexus and Sony phones. Tbf though I don’t miss my root privileges currently. Android and Samsungs one ui has come a long way.

At this point I’m not sure if having no porn on that community is a selling point or not…

Speaking of coffee, cofi from FDroid is great for timing coffee recipes

Ever wondered how other browsers like Firefox can import passwords from chrome without any password? Well, viruses can do that too. With bitwarden they can’t just read the passwords from disk because they would need your master password.

Disclaimer: haven’t been saving my passwords in the browser for a while so not sure if other browsers can still scrape the passwords just like that anymore

I’ll pick the lesser known ones in my collection:

• Aegis - FOSS 2FA Management
• Shelter - For splitting off work apps and easily disabling them when I get off work
• Poweramp - best music player ever, well worth the price.

When they’re talking to you, repeatedly look behind them and at them again. Eventually they will wonder what’s so interesting back there.
