ManCave decoration
  • A man does not decorate his cave.

  • Meta: “Introducing Orion, Our First True Augmented Reality Glasses”
  • Let me be the first to say "meh".

  • An AI-powered copyright tool is taking down AI-generated Mario pictures
  • Two can play that game. I bet it is possible to create an AI tool that generates and posts Mario pictures faster than they can take them down. Why you'd want to do that I don't know.

  • What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?
  • Army Moves, Navy Moves, or any other old Dynamic Software game. You'd have to be very skilled to get out of the first stage.

  • Whats an unethical or dangerous experiment that you would like to see performed or perform (if it werent for the ethics/danger)
  • I'm fairly certain that there's a What If video on this by the XKCD guy, Randall Munroe.

  • What movies can you rewatch often and not get tired of?
  • Rat Race, The Big Lebowski, The Blues Brothers, Mars Attacks, Constantine, any Riddick, any Resident Evil, any Alien, any Matrix, any Predator, Equilibrium, Gattaca, District 9, and a lot of others I can't remember at the moment because I'm quite drunk.

  • Distro and/or config for elderly person
  • My mom (85) has been using Xubuntu for some 10 years now. She uses Facebook and Gmail and plays card and puzzle games. She had no prior contact with computers, and learned it mostly by herself.

    Just give thema stable solid distro. It will make their and your life easier.

  • Goldilocks distro?
  • I can confirm it works as advertised, has very low maintenance and good performance.

    I use it for gaming with Steam, Heroic, Lutris and a bunch of emulators, web browsing, some light development and home lab.

  • Day 51 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I have too many Half-life games and mods installed and refuse to remove them to make room for other, larger, games.

    Now I will have to try the bucket%.

  • It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation
  • Some games give you a story that sticks with you and you love them for that (Half-Life, To The Moon, Bioshock Infinite). Some give you an experience that sticks with you but no story to speak of (like Doom and Doom II, which I still play).

    What I dislike is having to deal with people in my games. I already do that in reality, thank you very much.

    To me games are about escaping reality.

  • Microsoft formally deprecates the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel
  • I've been doing that for years. I genuinely do not know how to fix Windows anymore. Took a while for my family and friends to accept since I "work with computers" but now they don't automatically come to me when Windows breaks.

  • Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs
  • No. You can layer ext4 with LVM and LUKS to get a lot of features (but not all) that you get with BTRFS or ZFS. FAT is not suitable for anything other than legacy stuff.

  • [Discussion] Acrobat PDF forms support
  • That has been a pain point for a long time, along with signing and verifying digital signatures in PDF documents in Linux.

    Adobe is up there along with Nvidia on my top of shitty companies that actually hinder Linux adoption by ignoring it.

  • Have you ever disabled adblock for a well made site? If so, on what site?
  • Yes, and also Phoronix, LWN.net, GamingOnLinux, Hack-a-day, and a few others that give me good, content. It's the least I can do.

  • Will enterprise endpoint protection software on my laptop have control over what is happening inside a VM?
  • Also your DNS traffic will leak what you are doing.

    Just follow the most upvoted answer and keep personal stuff on your personal PC or mobile if you want to avoid trouble.

  • What was the last movie you watched?
  • The Debt.

    A Mossad team is tasked to retrieve a Nazi war criminal that is living in East Germany and get it to Israel.

    I would recommend it.

  • Didn't know GlaDOS used neofetch in 2007
  • I can hear this picture.

  • What is your favorite music streaming service?
  • Tidal. Higher quality audio is the main reason. I got tired of hearing Spotify's muddled compressed sound and waiting for them to release a higher quality plan.

  • What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?

    I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

    FYI LibreOffice Draw allows you to open, edit and digitally sign PDF files

    I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

    ZX Speccy Next running Lords of Midnight

    The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

    Yep, good old NVG is still up.

    If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

    After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

    Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

    Good times.

    ZX81 Mechanical Keyboard

    Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.

    Beautiful pixel art

    It always amazes me when people manage to bend Speccy display's limitations and come up with wonderful digital art. I came across Adam's @helpcomputer0@mastodon.art work on Mastodon and it became one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and have a look.

    Advanced Lawnmower Simulator - World Of Spectrum Classic

    While Real LifeTM strives to keep me away from all things Speccy related, I was pleasantly surprised to see the legacy of the old World of Spectrum site preserved in WoS Classic.

    So why not have a go at the awesome Advanced Lawnmower Simulator to celebrate? Go go, you know you want to...
