Resolved

The following packages are needed from winetricks: directmusic, dsdmo

The problem with that is that is hard to experiment with too

Test devices get banned constantly, and the companies behind those systems really don’t like other companies trying to poke around it

You are very lucky World of Warcraft isn’t in this room

League of Legends (2009) enters the room

The website will ask for a user streaming to do something in-game or play a specific game while others are watching to probably earn something either in-game or in Discord.

I feel this is fine, the “streamer” can decide to do this tasks or not. And can disable receiving the tasks at all in settings.

Person is likely thinking everyone is after him while hidden in the basement.

I don’t know why but ScummVM runs extremely poorly on my system. Despite it not being weak or old, audio is just very corrupted/distorted. Also, a couple of old games I tried in the past lost some features (like my copy of Sam and Max Hit the Road not rendering subtitles in ScummVM)

The game crashes instantly, so maybe not latency. Maybe a valid workaround would be to actually turn on the wireless printer, as all my tests were done with the printer turned off. That actually makes sense.

When I will be able to again I will try to remove the driver too.

I will add here. Apparently, I have fixed it by finding a workaround. Shutting down cups with sudo service stop cups has made the game run.

It’s a wireless printer, I can’t really unplug it. Also, its turned off.

I wanted to ask of the Wine IRC channels, but apparently I am banned without every joining once before?

I’ve not used Freetube in a long time. But what I can say is to check if you have the latest version. In the latest available release of yt-dlp on Debian there is a bug where for some videos the Youtube servers would respond 403 Forbidden. It is fixed if you enable backports and install the newer release there. Might be related, might not. Depends if Freetube implements part of yt-dlp

Every privacy conscious person has its own threat model and the solutions they find most comfortable for them. This is a very important question.

Most people don’t care

Way too many massively good artists I follow are still on Twitter with no intention of leaving. Some are on Pixiv or DeviantArt, but most not.

The problem might be in the engine itsself, as the source code of the specific game is calling what seems to be generic text rendering features of the engine.

Go ahead, train on me not writing a single thing and just retweeting exclusively Pokémon drawings from Japanese artists.

I honestly like this idea. The DuckDuckGo mobile browser already has this for websites, but I feel like its not really that meaningful and way too generic and forgiving. Also it’s chromium-based

Never!

Its pretty quick

Are you insane? I said nothing of this.

I don’t think I mentioned CUDA.

Windows actually doesn’t allow any driver to work fully. We would still be in the wild west that DOS and Windows 9x drivers were.

Windows has a massive quantity of components only Microsoft products can use, or can only be used in a certain way. A third-party application loading them might risk their developer keys being revoked without a officially signed license of usage, if the keys are even present. But most situation end up with the software getting blocked by Defender or Smart Screen or the user’s Windows install being considered non-genuine. This is not only for security, but also to protect the license of the many components Windows is using.

You see no meltdown from Windows users because most don’t care when Microsoft tightens their usage rules. Linux users tend to be more tech savvy due to the need of curiosity to leave the Windows ecosystem, meaning they can care about this because they also tend to be actual part of the community, instead of being strangers or passerbys.

Windows has components other companies are not allowed to use too. Why should it be different on Linux.

The Tor website provides .apk files for Android, and there is an F-Droid release too. https://www.torproject.org/download/#android

I would be down for competitive pissing

This is a very old image, so extremely likely real or manually edited.

What’s wrong? It’s time to repair your brain’s Pulseaudio configuration after an update!

The new Diablo works perfectly in Wine/Proton. Battle.NET has a chance to need some tinkering, but works. In case, there is an automated script to install multiple 3rd party launchers in Steam via Proton meant for the Steam Deck, but of course there is no reason they won’t work on a desktop Linux.

I don’t own Diablo, but I had to setup Battle.NET to install Heroes of the Storm. Can say there wasn’t much to talk about.

As far as I know Rockstar’s luncher just works fine in Proton, no issues there.

DRM is not a problem anymore unless you pirate (anti-DRM modifications can break in Wine), but it is anti-cheats systems. Some games like Call of Duty Warzone, FIFa 23 and Destiny 2 don’t work because of it. (The last two only because they are programmed to not work on Linux voluntarely, Destiny 2 will ban every Steam account that connect via Proton)

Most devices work out of the box now, tinkering has reduced by a lot especially with easier distros.

Are you sure you aren’t on an old static exit node or guard node? Try refreshing your state file.

Uhm… DuckDuckGo has worked and still works just fine in Tor for me?

I posted the following review on Play Store about FlullyChat (22 March 2022).

I am trying, I really am, to sign up to matrix but no matter all the captchas, the verification emails and agreeing to the terms my account doesn’t exist and requires me unspecified “additional verification”. Even on a different homeserver, using SAML, I with an account actually ready and connected in my browser the app just won’t log in. I got frustrated and left the app.

I actually got extremely mad that day, as it was an already painful day. Can you tell me if Matrix or FluffyChat have become easier to access from the outside?

At least Flash had cool videogames

What’s the client number the data request asks for?

I never tried Puppy Linux, but always stayed in the back of my mind.

I honestly don’t know how to contribute to a distro as big as Debian…
