Yes, I know I am in the minority. Hero Shooters and anything going in this direction are my favorite online multiplayer games. And we don't have too many to choose from, at least stuff that is also playable on Linux. Therefore I am always open to any new game that goes into this direction and want to see if its for me.
I have 2 webpages like this. Calling them webpages is a bit of stretch to be honest. One is a joke and the other is extremely single idea only. I was just experimenting with some stuff, that's all. But they are up and they don't need CSS. :-)
https://thingsiplay.eu.pythonanywhere.com/game-random-of-the-week : select a random game title for the selected system (old consoles only, mainly for emulation) and cache it, it will be permanent for this week, idea goes back to a forum I was using and we had a community to play random games and this is a hommage to that
Edit: BTW forgot to mention, you can output text only without HTML. In that case (like in the Random of the Week) you can use it in the terminal like output of a program.
Depends to what you compare. Many CSS (worse if it uses JavaScript) is ugly and I prefer the native look without CSS. But only if the content works well, which they often don't... And that's ugly design.
I probably won't buy any Nvidia card again too (but never say never). You never want to (yes I contradicted myself right after the previous sentence... sigh) have less competition. I hope Nvidia loses its market leader position and operates head to head with AMD and Intel. BTW this is a similar reasoning as to why I don't want Xbox to go away from console market, regardless of what you or I think about the company.
I don't know how to do a screenshot of the entire window that scrolls outside the view... i know skill issues. :D Well in Flatseal some relevant settings are X11 windowing system = ON, Wayland windowing system = OFF, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
xlsclients returns "freetube"
With the enabled acceleration features using cmdline: "Media" activity is active (as soon as I play a video)
Without the extra features: "Media" activity is 0%
Unfortunately if I enable Wayland (just reverse ON / OFF X11 and Wayland setting in Flatseal), the Media activity is unused. Following settings and results are...
X11 windowing system = OFF, Wayland windowing system = ON, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
xlsclients returns "" (empty)
With the enabled acceleration features using cmdline: "Media" activity is 0%
Without the extra features: "Media" activity is 0%
For whatever reason the arguments got additional quotation marks 'run --branch=stable' which messed up the command... deleting the quotation marks runs fine now. Weird... probably a bug from KDE when I tried to add the other options. Well thanks, now it runs with the original shortcut again. Thanks for the screenshot, helped me seeing the issue instantly.
I don't know why, but the shortcut in the "Start" menu of KDE does not longer start FreeTube... Its Command-line arguments is 'run --branch=stable' --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@ . I have uninstalled FreeTube, deleted the shortcut so it is created from scratch and still does not start. It only starts from either commandline with regular flatpak command, or when I create a new shortcut with the arguments run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
flatpak run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
I can confirm this will use some "Media" activity. But comparing (unscientifically) the GPU and GFX in fdinfo, the utilization doesn't seem too different. So overall I am not sure if that is actually hardware acceleration. Also make sure FreeTube has permission for "GPU acceleration" under "Device" set with Flatseal.
The immutable part is only for the main system. You can run any application, in example with a user script to install and setup everything in home directory. Or AppImage off course.
KDE is more than just a ui, its the set of preinstalled applications that plays a huge role. Kubuntu and Ubuntu feels like two different operating systems.
pre-order isn't in development phase usually. Isn't the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.
If we can't play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don't know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.
Looks just like Horizon 5. :D But in Japan setting off course, which is very interesting to me. Its one of the few Microsoft IPs that do well in recent history.
Not all CEOs are equally good or bad. Some help the company to be better, others are better at ruining it. Replaceable does not mean that ANYONE can do the job. You completely ignored my point.
