Nah there’s some games that still only have stuff on moddb, thunderstore is the main place for v rising and a few other popular titles, and for Minecraft there’s curseforge and modrinth, and GOG is adding mods now too. The community is more fragmented than you’d think

To add to the conversation, one of the two new owners has replied to some questions: https://www.nexusmods.com/news/15301?comment_id=155643499

I think the easiest way to achieve something like that is to homeschool together with a like minded commune that has the knowledge and passion for teaching, that way the kid doesn’t lose out on the social aspects of school, but it’s not ideal. Wish education would get more investment before other things, it’s the best long term investment for a country, invest in smarter future generations to get a better country for all

The real solution is taking all that money that is going to these VC funds to milk public services and putting that into the actual service. It doesn’t take a huge amount of investment to do it, just make teachers happy to be there, and give them time to nurture children’s curiosity. So much education has ended up in this cycle based on exactly what you’re talking about, looking at spreadsheets and grades, and cramming knowledge into kids rather than teaching the process of learning.

The only reasons I like some of the things I like is because I had teachers behind me that saw that spark and nurtured it, not because of the stuff I crammed into my head. If anything you end up passionate about stuff in spite of the curriculum instead of because of it most of the time (in my case at least)

It’s not just blur though, it actually refracts what’s behind the element, which sounds more performance intensive than it needs to be, and sometimes it’s heavily distracting, but let’s not kid ourselves that this is just windows vista on a Mac, they’re emulating more of the physicalities of glass than just a static shine

With that 700 Indians AI company what makes you think it’ll be actual AI and not thinly veiled changes with no oversight or accountability?

Did they? MD2 and MD3 look very different from Apple’s design languages

Oh god, why have you cursed me with such knowledge

Steam os is pretty old now, compared to the Wayland readiness timeline, and proton doesn’t fully support Wayland yet

It already is a modern marketplace and many modern games release on it. Just because you only use it for old games doesn’t mean it’s all it’s ever allowed to be. They’ve been expanding their gog program more broadly to cover more of their audience, and a mod support like this makes it very easy for players of old games to release modified versions of those games, instead of needing to look for moddb or nexusmods.

How many people play DOS2 with EE? How many people play civ5 with the 5.5 mod? It’s just common sense to me that they’d set up something for people to keep old games fresh via modding, and it’s not even a steam workshop like system so I’m not sure what steam has to do with anything. The mods they’ve showcased are full overhauls.

I think you could say though that a system so predisposed to corruption is itself flawed. “Taxation” as a feature is quite broad in that way, and I think to truly get to a good system you’d need people to be more involved in the scrutiny of govt expenses, and for the govt to play ball and give full reports about where the money is going and why.

You are excited for a new game, I am excited for more russian bfg remixes coming out, we are not the same

Because only steam can have mods? Do you listen to yourself lmao “no please keep it a monopoly, valve are good guys, stay in your lane”

The pinned tabs are closer to the essentials though that’s the thing, it lacks that 2 layer separation based on purpose.

Wdym hard to tell you’re in a glance tab? It’s an overlayed smaller box, and the tab that has it open also gets an icon. Plus you never go into it accidentally, unless you’re clicking on a link in an essential tab it’s going to be manually entered.

According to them.

Firefox vertical tabs are lackluster though, you don’t have pinned and essential tabs on FF, and you also miss out on Glance (the pop out link feature), basically the main features it copied from Arc. Honestly it’s been very stable for me, and it’s matured enough that I’d recommend giving it another shot.

Try Zen, it used Arc as its main inspiration for the UI and features
