Stardew Valley creator swears 'on the honor of my family name' that he'll never charge money for DLC
  • I mean, he's in a similar situation as Toby fox. He has the freedom to spend as much time as he wants on developing updates without worrying about money, so he doesn't need to charge anything or ask money from players.

  • Crowdstrike fucks up half of the IT Sector and beyond
  • The wallstreetbets post having been created a few hours before the shortage is wild

  • slicing arrays
  • static typing:

    • afraid to make mistakes
    • restricts your freedom
    • thinks i'm too stupid to know the types of my variables
    • years of programming yet no real world use found for Option<Option<Result<Int>>>

    dynamic typing

    • bold, fearless
    • null pointer exceptions? catch them and return 0
    • can use eval, easily extendable
  • What's Going on With Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed?
  • The part of the effect that gives reach is only on your turn, so it's useless. It was probably meant to be haste instead. It's a minor thing but still weird to see on a released card

  • What's Going on With Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed?
  • This set feels rushed both from the design to how they handled release and promotion. [[Bleeding Effect]] hints that very little or no playtesting took place either.

  • New Value Booster Announced -- 3 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 random rarity card and a land or possible foil
  • I fail to see where is the "value" in a booster full of commons and uncommons

  • Hasbro lays off 1,100
  • That movie was pretty good, shame we'll never see a sequel

  • Suggestions for french MTG Youtube-channels?
  • I like Val&PL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJQLJFuAj0Q8LPgqdzTbag They are more focused on entertainment rather than high level gameplay and analysis. They do plenty of wordplay and jokes. Depending on your level in French it will be a bit hard to follow at times. Personally i like their dynamic as a commentator duo

  • Distro recommendations and Nvidia advice?
  • Linux Mint makes it very easy to install Nvidia drivers and Optimus. I have used it in the past on a laptop with a similar configuration. It's also quite robust, probably more than Garuda.

  • Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine
  • That's true. Also I guess domain names in most ideogram-based languages cannot be meaningfully converted to ASCII. The best detection method I'm aware of is detecting a mix of different alphabets in the domain, but I imagine even this has a lot of false positives

  • Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine
  • This should be ON by default, in my opinion. Also, I believe Mozilla has a massive opportunity here to demarcate themselves as the more security-conscious browser vendor. "This phishing trick works on all major browsers except Firefox" would be great publicity material.

  • Experiences using immutable Linux desktops?
  • What's the problem with it? (legit question from non-silverblue user)

  • What's happening with Rust?
  • Just got a call from Rust HQ; they cancelled the project and are deleting all the articles talking about it

  • Android to take an “upstream first” development model for the Linux kernel
  • Note that this is an old article from 2 years ago and that GKI is already implemented in Android

  • Scriptable configuration (with programming language) vs data / text configuration: what are the benefits?
  • Apart from text editors/IDEs I don't really see the use for it. I think it is not practical unless all your users are both power users and programmers, which basically boils down to developer tools.

  • GCC embraces web technologies with one (1) line of CSS.
  • Brainfuck? Really?

  • What feature/utility/app are you surprised is not installed by default in Linux distributions?
  • I think most people (including myself) prefer a minimal desktop by default, and then proceed to install only the software they need. Nevertheless, it always surprises me when I log in to a system that doesn't have vim.

  • Linux advocacy discussion (mastodon)
  • It's open-source merely to comply with the GPL license of the kernel, but the fact is that an Android image built only from open source components will be extremely crippled or, depending on your point of view, basically useless. Such an image will not even boot on the majority of devices ; you'll need those sweet proprietary driver blobs if you want your phone to do anything, and a bunch more closed source binaries in order to use Play services.

  • Any idea how I can make a tmux alias for ssh?
  • In tmux, you usually set configuration options with set -g in tmux.conf. "-g" sets a global option which will apply to all new windows and sessions, otherwise the option applies only for the current window, which is usually not what you want.

    Since command-alias is an array, you can use the -a flag to append a new value at the end.

    With that said, try this:

    set -ga command-alias s="new-window ssh foo"
    

    Keep in mind that run in tmux runs a shell command in the background, so you most likely want to use something like new-window or new-session instead.

  • Let's play Can of Wormholes with the developer! (Interview) - Thinky Games

    I really enjoyed this interview. For those who have tried this game, it reveals interesting facts about the development and the thought process of the (solo!) developer.

    Wilds of Eldraine | Official Anime Trailer | Magic: The Gathering
  • This looks a bit cheesy for me. I don't think the anime style really suits MTG, the only exception being Kamigawa blocks perhaps.

  • [Recommendation] Spring Falls
    store.steampowered.com Spring Falls on Steam

    Spring Falls is a puzzle game about water, erosion, and watching things grow. Manipulate the landscape and bring wildflowers to life on a peaceful mountainside.

    Spring Falls on Steam

    Spring Falls is a relaxing puzzle game about controlling the flow of water on a hexagonal grid. The difficulty is very tame, and I don't recall spending more than a few minutes on a level. Instead, it has a very soothing, ambient soundtrack layered with the occasional sound of falling rain. I played this during a calm morning sunrise and it was perfect.

    The game takes around 2 hours to complete and can be found on sale for less than 4€.
