podman is also rootless.

it’s pretty old but maybe this is a good starting point: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.orpheusdroid.sqliteviewer

sure. i’m not saying fractional scaling looks bad but if they came from no scaling, suddenly having scaling can be a little jarring and can feel like a “lower” resolution. i regularly run fractional scaling in GNOME and it looks just fine. it’s a pretty solved problem at this point for the major desktop environments.

if by lower graphics, do you mean fonts and such are larger or your resolution is off?

if so you might have window scaling at 150% or 200%. this has happened to me with GNOME in the past. it might be worth checking your display settings.

came here to post it. what a great run!

Another vote for Bazzite. It’s been such a smooth experience for a year or so.

i started playing 3 because i heard the single player campaign has checkpoints. i don’t have much interest in multiplayer but it looks like lan support is still available. i have heard on some videos that people still play it in multiplayer by bridging the lan support across the internet.

I saw that ps rewired has a “socom 3 / combined assault” section. i do wonder if just vanilla socom 3 would be playable there because i think combined assault has different maps? at any rate, there were only two people online when i looked at that. it’s possible that it picks up on nights/weekends as opposed to 0800 CDT on a thursday.

EDIT: i also bumped into this list, so maybe there are other ways to play: https://ps2online.com/

Traded in my Series S and scooped up some discs/carts (also a couple of GOG sales). Socom 3 (PS2), Quake 2 (GOG), Nano Assault (EX & original, 2DSXL), Nano Stray 1&2 (2DSXL), and Dead Cells (GOG)… I still don’t know where the line between patient and retro is.

I just expect most good software to decline into a heap of hyper-monetized garbage these days. I’m grateful that decent alternatives usually pop up when it happens.

my reader mode icon has disappeared on two of my machines. i’m sure it’s something in my settings that’s propagated to both of them. i got tired of typing about:reader?url= in front of addresses and ended up using the “Toggle Reader Mode” extension. It has the nice side effect of working on some pages that reader mode didn’t work on before.

can’t wait for them to start injecting ads into reader mode or to outright reject toggling the mode if some kind of advertising meta tag is present.

well we’ll get downvoted into oblivion but i agree.

aria of sorrow is also a good starting point. the steam port is terrific

yes, it’s just a python package. there are management services for enterprise users that have associated costs, though. it used to be called ansible tower but i’m unsure what the name is now.

It’s been generally fun but I am really bad at this kind of game so I end up lagging too far behind where the story wants me to be, so enemies teleport seemingly out of nowhere. I also can’t seem to identify where the alarms are, which makes it even worse. That’s a me problem, though.

If you like story driven FPS games with good art, it’ll probably scratch the itch for you. It’s not as much as an interactive movie as the games from the era of quicktime events but there is a little bit of linear play to it. Overall it’s pretty standard fare. I read a review that was something like “It’s not a great FPS game but it’s a great Killzone game” and I think that tracks.

I just scooped up Killzone Shadow Fall and I’m enjoying it, even though the beginning part of the game was basically a half hour long movie disguised as a tutorial. I also got the Shadow of the Colossus remaster for PS4 so that’s next.

For quick sessions, I’ve gone back and started half heartedly trying to 1CC Danmaku Unlimited 2 since the new trailer for 4 just came out.

only when dealing with azure for work. otherwise bash/python work just fine and have for me for the last 30 odd years.

time extension!

well maybe not silliest but the funniest automation backfire i have. the silly part is the name.

i had an automation that called “MLG PRO” that would adjust all my living room lighting to green and purple and play a goofy THX-like sound when i woke up the xbox. what i didn’t realize is that the xbox updated itself nightly.

i happen to sleep in the living room as well. a couple of nights after i had set up the automation i was woken up by colorful lights and the custom sound at like 2am. i was certain the aliens had finally come to take me away. what a confusing way to wake up…

a very old (and more public) approach was the piratebox: https://piratebox.cc/android

maybe there’s been some forks or related tools?

was waiting for this one
