Friends of Mineral Town is a good remake of one of the most beloved entries in the series.

Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

I said it as a joke but I suspect it might be true, too. I see a lot of people complaining that they see too many posts of people they block.

Try blocking her, the algorithm will prioritize her posts if you do.

I reached out to them and they told me they are currently working in implementing the native protocol and they’ll replace the bridge with it.

I’m not very familiar with the matrix protocol but rocket.chat advertises itself as having implemented the matrix protocol. What you said is also true according to their documentation, so now I’m confused about what is actually going on. Based on what rocket.chat implemented, is it wrong to say that they use the matrix protocol? And what are the limitations of their approach as opposed to a full implementation of it?

Rocket.chat implements the matrix protocol (or something else from matrix, check the other replies) to federate with other rocket.chat instances. It also had a different federation protocol before implementing matrix.

I’m enjoying Zen browser in general but still facing several issues with it from time to time. Nothing major, just small nuisanses here and there.

I use it alongside Vivaldi since I often have to be logged in into two different sessions for the same site and it’s just easier to have two browsers for that. Vivaldi is a lot more stable and so I use it as the main browser - but everytime it updates I need to modify a JS file to tweak something in the UI to make it the way I like it to be. When using vertical tabs + tab groups + two layers of tabs (one sidebar showing the tab groups and a second sidebar showing the tabs inside the selected group), the maximum tab width is applied to both sidebars together instead of individually, so I modify the JS file to double that max width. I’ve automated it by now but it still annoys me that I keep having to do this.

But I think Vivaldi is probably the only browser that even has the ability to show tabs in that way, so I can’t complain that much.

Back in the early 2000s I met some guy who had once sold a copy of edit.exe to some store as if it were some software he had written for managing orders and inventory. The folks at the store used windows, but they would open up edit.exe and it looked just like the stuff that the larger store chains used to manage their own orders… The guy just made a sample file and instructed them how to input data in a specific format that made it all look like a table, but it was just a text file with no validation of any kind.

I did not expect to see the joycon working as a mouse and I imagine it’s probably very uncomfortable, but damn if it isn’t a genius move.

I don’t get it

Mint is often the most recommended distro, because whatever you may need to do in it, it tends to be easy-ish to figure out.

But these days I would strongly recommend in favor of some immutable distro like Bluefin/Aurora or Silverblue/kinoite. Instead of being easy to figure out how to do things on them, they make it so you won’t need to, ever.

It’s a complete paradigm shift and it might not be for everyone, but in the decades I’ve been using Linux for, I had never had such a smooth experience with any distro. Everything just works and you don’t need to think about the OS anymore.

However it won’t easily fit with some of the requirements you listed.

For a moment there I interpreted the title wrong and thought people would start receiving TikTok content through amber alert systems.

Just hop back to the shower.

Getting a bit tired of KCD2 by now, not sure what to play next. Might be doing some gamedev for a while instead.

Squaresoft games were so good that there was a weird full decade there where the name Square Enix still managed to get me interested into checking out games, but the games themselves never did. Eventually this too died out and I finally don’t care at all about square anymore.

I still use cheat-o-matic to this day. When it doesn’t work I try the similar options on cheat engine

There’s porn here?

And to think that this all started because Gabe was afraid that microsoft’s “app store” would hurt Steam so he decided to fully embrace Linux to in preparation. I bet not even Gabe expected back then that the situation would be as it is today.

Poe2 in a single week managed to reach top25. It’d probably get top5 if they had counted one more week.
