Good, I’m sick of playing lowest common denominator console ports. Develop for PC and let the consoles have the degraded experience, not the other way around!

Linux@lemmy.ml•What sense is licensing operating system on BSD license?English
14·2 days agoIt’s really just a difference of opinion. GPL enjoyers such as myself believe that Free software is the best and it should be kept free with a copyleft license. BSD license enjoyers also love Free software, but they believe in putting next to zero conditions on their software. They’re just happy if their freely released software is used to make anything better, even if it means proprietary projects incorporating it and not contributing.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phonesEnglish
16·6 days agoI can’t figure out if Free software projects don’t know or don’t care that GitHub is run by Microslop.
I would love for KDE connect to offer homescreen widgets. I’d love to make a shortcut to specific commands I’ve created.

read a, you’re typing in terminal. I made a clipboard action so I just copy an URL to the clipboard, execute actions, and then choose whether to play it or download it on my other machine.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•What headsets are linux gamers using?English
2·10 days agoThe headset presents 2 separate audio devices to your computer, so you direct your games to use the headset game output and Discord or whatever to use headset voice. It’s pretty magical honestly, no tabbing out when you can’t hear a dude.

4·10 days agoI love my Steelseries Arctis 7. It doesn’t need any software to configure at all, works out of the box in Linux. Has a nice hardware mixer right on the headphone so you can lower game sounds to hear voice chat better and vice versa.

3·10 days agoNo offense, but I’m seeing a lot of useless scripts here. You can simply put these option in yt-dlp.conf and then just run yt-dlp “url”.

Games@lemmy.world•Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooterEnglish
2·22 days agoI watch both and I think Brood War is more interesting to watch because there are more fights that last longer and the RNG factor means you can’t tell how the fight is going to go before it happens. There are a lot of tense and exciting moments in Brood War compared to SC2. How many shots will miss when shooting up a cliff? Will this mine detonate and kill 3 dragoons? How long will it take the player to notice that a DT is slaughtering drones without a notification? Will the reaver shot connect or dud? Will the scourges connect?
Basically SC2 is a lot easier to play with very little RNG. Pro players don’t even attack each other early anymore because every cheese is solved. Brood War has a really good rock/paper/scissors balance that has shockingly lasted 25 years with no real balance patches. Also the game was remastered and the graphics are beautiful now.











Malware is the least of your worries with Linux. The real reason malware has historically been more prevalent on Windows isn’t necessarily because of market share, it’s in the way software is distributed. In the Windows world, you go to random websites and install proprietary software; you have know idea if it’s trustworthy, even when you’ve found the official site. On Linux, you get your software from repositories (like the app store on your phone) where the software is open source and has been reviewed. All this software comes from trusted sources, you’re never accidentally going to get malware from your OS.
