Vanilla OS 2 Orchid - Stable Release by Brickardo in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm afraid basing their distro off TempleOS would be a bit too hard.

Big publishers ‘eject too soon’ from live service titles, says Warframe boss. “It comes out, doesn’t work and they throw it away” by Brickardo in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Not only that, live service titles are absolutely tone deaf when it comes to respecting the effort of their players.

It doesn't stop Steve from being right with his statement, though, but his understanding of what a live service game's monetization model should be has shown to be two or three parallel universes ahead of what the "triple A" projects usually do.

Hell, paying real money can only skip you through the first dozens of hours of the tutorial. After that, paying effectively only allows you to get cosmetic options.

Hi everyone,

I've been checking this forum but I have not managed to find duplicates (I'm using Summit for Lemmy). If that's the case I'll remove this post.

I'm about to start a PhD. I've been told I will be required to partake in publications and other shenanigans. I am not against it, but I'm very concerned about having my full name flying around the internet, as I've always been hesitant of sharing any of that information (real name, pictures, etc).

Ultimately, I only care for potential employers to know that it's actually me the one who has written this or that, which I would happily disclose in private.

What's the usual stance in this situation?

As a non-American, I will never not read POTUS as "piece of the utmost shit"

Aren't you supposed to test that shit before going live?

You see, the problem is that you're genuinely concerned by virtual points

Ah Bernie, what could have been... by Brickardo in c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world

Have you ever seen the man in the high castle? Well, we're definitely not in the worst timeline, but missing out on pals like Bernie shows that we're definitely not in the best either...

Norway, Ireland and Spain recognize a Palestinian state in a historic move by Brickardo in c/news@lemmy.world

Just took a look at the reddit comments on a similar piece of news. It's a cesspool of just-created accounts up voting each other on pro-Israel comments.

It's a pity some influentiable people won't be able to immediately notice that they are bots.

KRunner vs Application Launcher (use cases?) (feddit.nl)

submitted 6 months ago by Brickardo@feddit.nl to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

Lately, I found out that Application Launcher also features all the functionality I use from KRunner.

In my particular experience, Application Launcher is snappier at first launch and also returns results rather quickly. For me, this begs an obvious question.

What's the use case for using KRunner over the Application Launcher?

So far I've noticed that pressing Enter on the Calculator results makes the entry be copied on KRunner, but this does not happen for the Application Launcher. I'm certain there must be something else to it, otherwise people would not be using it (even I found myself using it from time to time, but could not understand why).

Please, remember to vote on the European elections! We do need the EU to keep taking actions like this

Why, of all possible languages, would you suggest this for Javascript where semicolons are not mandatory

It's even funnier because the lyrics are provided by MusixMatch

You can find and download the project from the KDE Store and from https://store.kde.org/p/1804745/

Hey guys,

Just wanted to tell you that Day/Night Switcher has been finally ported to Plasma 6. I couldn't have done this with the interest by the community on the project's continuation. Anyway, let us all enjoy it.

I am only posting this in the hopes that old users who moved to Plasma 6 may catch up on the news.

See you around, kids!
