Either you plug a wired microphone each time you receive a call, or you explicitly do not receive calls with the device and use it as a tablet basically.

GrapheneOS requires specific safety hardware that, as of now, is usually available only on the Google Pixel line of phones. If your standard smartphone doesn’t include it, I doubt a car does.

Hopefully that’s the case! And hopefully somebody steps in legally in case the new developers decide to just ignore the GPL terms.

If all the developers of the GPLv3 version agree to relicense their contributions, it’s unfortunately possible to close-source further versions of the source code. Does somebody know if Simple Apps accepted external contributions?

I mean, a fork is indeed possible and in progress. But the main version on the Google Play Store will almost certainly be no longer open-source.

If the next version is close-sourced, that means that it won’t be published in the repository that F-Droid follows to build their version. Yeah I think you’re safe.

Unless you use the Play Store version, in which case the tainted new versions will be coming any time soon.

Lucky you, that you managed to make Epic run properly over Linux!

My only complaint about GOG is that developers treat it as an afterthought. Plenty of games that stop receiving updates, or are pulled out of the store entirely, while the Steam version remains maintained. Also, the required lack of DRM makes multiplayer online games relatively scarce.

More accurately: the games have support for Xbox styled controllers, because Windows ships with support for that. However, they usually don’t have support for PlayStation controllers unless the game actively adds support for them, or Steam Input deals with converting the controller inputs to Xbox format on the fly. Most of the time, Epic exclusives do neither of the above.

I know about its existence, but I’m not sure how safe is it as a way to prevent Epic (and potentially Tencent) from tracking my personal information.

Even if you purchase them directly instead of using the online pass? Guess I’ll have to check it for myself

Nice… can somebody add a 60 FPS patch to Metal Gear Solid 1 by the way?

Calling it already, they’re only moving to Steam to aid in the anti-monopoly argument so they can sell themselves to Microsoft

Did they move to a non-commercial license, or was it like that when they first made the wiki on Wikia/Fandom?

I wonder how accurate would it be to do this setup using Dolphin and four instances of mGBA instead of original hardware.

It better be, because I’m tired of having so many games running like molasses on the baseline Switch - it’s literally just an overclocked, slightly improved Ouya in the inside, and it shows

And that’s why tools to migrate to another engine are now a must, like this one! https://github.com/barcoderdev/unitypackage_godot

I went through that exact problem, didn’t have space to stuff a single item from a mission I thought would be repeatable and so I got stuck in 99% completion - the only solution was to trade it from another cart and that was not gonna happen

Wondering what will Elmo choose to do: redirect all requests from twitter.com to x.com, or push a 404 on the twitter.com domain just to force all the websites that still embed tweets, er, posts to acknowledge the new URL.

Considering that AliExpress and Wish have the bad fame of being both dirt-cheap and dirt-quality, I was surprised that Temu actually managed to snatch a slice of the budget pie. Temu being a privacy trojan to fetch as much personal data from gullible customers as possible makes a lot of sense in retrospect

Their idea of optimization in console was to cap the frame rate to 30, even on the Series X. So you can wonder what that means for PC

Well he managed to snag a sponsorship from Nvidia thanks to his shenanigans. Which probably says more about Nvidia than about the guy, to be honest.

This reminds me of the McFly ray tracing plugin for ReShade - turns out somebody else has already made an open-source alternative

Not gonna lie, I misread it at first and thought to myself “yeah, Todd Howard fans are that maniacal, makes sense”

I’ve been avoiding spoilers for FF XVI precisely waiting for this announcement. Hopefully they don’t pull the same shenanigans as last time and release it on Epic Games only.

Same here, I don’t have $499 burning in my pocket to justify getting Spider-Man 2 when I have a perfectly serviceable PC that can do about as much as a PS5 and then some.

To an extent, Kingdom Hearts. Still waiting for the Steam Deck release

I’d love to play this game, but having to play five other Armored Cores to understand the plot is a bit too much. Does the game include a plot summary at the very least?

Well, that’s the problem of being the president, there’s nobody to fire him on the spot because he’s the highest on the ladder. Best they can do is vote him out and that will take a good while (plus consensus from the director board)

Given that it will eventually be open-source: I hope somebody hooks this to a capture card, to have relatively lag-less motion smoothing for console games locked to 30.

Long story short, both of them wound up associated to the far right. Romero was well known, but Carmack was invited to a convention specifically against “cancel culture”.

Definitely not a fan of how either Romero or Carmack wound up being in the end, but I can’t deny they were pioneers

Not AAA devs, they’re doing what they can. The problem is with the AAA CEOs

Not to be that guy, but I’m not sure if even this post is breaking NDA on its own. Still, hopefully you can salvage the project, even with a day-one patch

Not too glad about them snagging Android games that could have been a single purchase, and putting them behind a monthly paywall instead. And given that my country is still unsupported by nearly all cloud streaming services, I don’t think I’ll be able to use this one either even if I wanted to

Agreed. YAML is a pain to edit manually, to ensure that all the tabulation is correct and the parser does not choke. JSON is passable, but you must be mindful about the brackets. XML is too verbose and duplicative. INI files are just good enough.

Everyone is willing to stop paying for the content, but very few are willing to boycott it instead.

Personally though, I use Kate. Ain’t got time to learn new keybindings

I don’t go that far yet, but I did uninstall the Reddit, Meta/Facebook and X/Twitter apps off my phone. Whenever I need to check those I just use the browser. Been using federated services more often as a result, and I lose less time procrastinating. (My watch list on YouTube is still at the verge of reaching the maximum size allowed, but hey, baby steps)
