if I get an idea I am not happy until it start making money

That sounds extremely unsustainable

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t see you contributing much of value either…

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Doom, of course!

Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.

I’m surprised you’ve not got OpenRCT2 to work - I’m fairly sure it’s in most default repos.

You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.

I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it’s no longer for sale anywhere as far as I’m aware.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser (www.windowslatest.com)

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

I’d like to add to this by saying that on my Windows 11 work laptop, I have Firefox set as the default. If I open a link from Outlook or Teams, it will open in Edge. So you’re not wrong, and it’s quite infuriating

Hi!

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

How so?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This is what happens everywhere: they’ll just keep chancing it until such a time as it’s acceptable.

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

If you’re getting a big heap of money from Microsoft, who cares what decisions you make? (Playing devil’s advocate)

BIOS are usually set up with PXE in the boot sequence. If it fails to boot from the hard drive, it’ll attempt PXE.

Darn Noone, I wish they’d just mind their own business

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So when we actually do have AI, what are we supposed to call it? The current use of the term “AI” is too ambiguous to be of any use.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Zitter to me, which is kinda gross

Doom II wasn’t boring.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Okay, so while you can’t literally use nothing but the SSG for the entirety of Doom II (especially since you don’t get it until MAP02), you can comfortably use it at least 90% of the time on UV. Shells are plentiful throughout the game.

Just wanted to add that OpenSUSE MicroOS uses Tumbleweed repos by default, so I’m fairly sure that’s an atomic rolling release too. Not 100% sure, though.

I can’t believe they’re remastering Combat Evolved again, but not Halo 3.

Well, as long as they do a better job than the original CE Anniversary, I’ll probably play it.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I tend to agree, but it would be nice to play with the nice, rich visuals of Halo 2 Anniversary. And not have to look at Lord Hood’s craggy visage or the slightly polygonal Marine heads.

Reach, on the other hand: no remaster would improve how that game looks. Still a stunning bit of work all these years later.

The web editor is VERY promising so far, but it’s still in early alpha stages.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

How are you supposed to become an advanced user, then?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

My point was that you can’t be an advanced user without first being a non-advanced user

(and side note, I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years on and off… still use Nano)

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, not those shrivelled black things!

@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Is there a source for this? I have a WordPress blog but been tempted to switch to a different platform due to bloat.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Thanks. Looks like it’s only affecting Wordpress.com for now. We’ll see if it trickles down to .org too

Linux on old School Machines?

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Eh, JavaScript is overrated anyway

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Why not? It would help massively with the ‘affordable’ criterion

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Might be worth trying to find a refurbished HP ProLiant MicroServer. There are a few on eBay UK within the £200-400 range. You can sometimes find professionally refurbished units as well.

Windows 95 -> 98 -> SuSE …9? -> XP -> Ubuntu 10 -> Windows 7 -> Windows 10 (alongside a bunch of Debian servers) -> MX Linux -> Debian

Also went Windows 10 -> Kubuntu -> VanillaOS -> Kinoite on my laptop for what it’s worth.

I liked GLIDE, which was suggested a few years ago, though I can’t remember what the acronym was now

The trouble I have with Sunshine is that when I play, I wish I was playing SM64

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Genuinely couldn’t be bothered with Odyssey after a while. That was a game with just too much to do

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It’s more about feeling. The platforming feels crisp, the levels feel the right size, the controls feel responsive. No other Mario game has quite matched SM64’s mobility, not even my beloved Galaxy games

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Oh, nothing was missing. In fact, Galaxy’s one of my absolute favourite games ever, and it feels fantastic.

I just personally feel 64 feels perfect, in ways that no other 3D platformer (let alone any 3D Mario) has matched. If I could try Galaxy with a regular controller, though, that might change things. (I know you can play it on Switch, but you still need to point at stuff, and it’s not ideal)

I’ve always been curious how people greeted each other before “hello”. Did we just say “good day” and variations thereof?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Well met!

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Are they the elves that say “hi”?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I didn’t know that about ‘goodbye’! Words are fascinating, huh.

I believe “hello” itself was more of an exclamation (like “hi”, in fact) and supposedly comes from the Dutch “hollo”. Some people in the UK still use it as such, in fact.

It’s got that weird typeface too.

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced...

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

At the risk of seeming to throw shade; why use Brave at all if you’re going to switch off all its unique features?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

As a fellow FP5 user, I haven’t come across the issues you’ve mentioned - that said, I did install /e/os pretty much immediately, so perhaps that’s why.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn’t physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group

Pro Pinball Timeshock Ultra Edition, probably

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

So what would you do instead?

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I hate to be nitpicky; but that’s a decompilation, not a demake.

‘Demake’ usually refers to a game that gets remade for a system older (or less powerful) than the one it was released for. A good current example is the in-progress Super Mario 64 demake for GBA.

‘Decompilation’ is where one reverse-engineers a game (or any software!) back to its original source code, or close enough that when you build it, it’s identical to an original copy. So, the goal of the Lego Island demake is to produce source code that can be built into a fully binary-compatible copy of Lego Island, indistinct from what’s on the original CD.

LunarLoony ,
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Correct!

My dad had a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, complete with a bunch of Totally Legit plugins which allowed him to watch anything he wanted. Thought it was legal and above board because… wait for it… it’s open-source
