I use and like rEFInd as my primary bootloader to dualboot Windows and Fedora.
Hackernews is obviously full of technical volks with need for encryption and what not, but I just like the macOS bootloader inspired looks that i could not replicate with grub.
not all participants had an official copy of the game.
while i think that it is well worth it, i am not the person who pressures other people to buy things for a single-digit-attendence one-time get-to-gether LAN-party.
We tried this at a LAN-Party in December and couldn't get it to run.
I am happily trying it again for the next LAN-Party. Nice to see development on this project. :-)
Yes, I own three of those but an earlier version (2) that comes without RFID sensor.
And I use the filter waaaaay longer than the device wants me to. This DRM is just milking money out of the consumer and producing waste, nothing else.
My eyes can probably not tell if the filter is over its lifespan, but my pollen allergy definetly can tell if it still works.
> You don't just clean a filter and say I KNOW there is 12 months more.
Yes, you definitively do.
I am located in a defacto dust free location, but I use an air purifier to keep my pollen allergy under control when spring arives: This shitty DRM is telling me to change filters after X hours, because it ASSUMES it is clogged, even though it has no idea of the reality? No idea if the air is like in New Delhi or like in the north of Sweden?
Hell no! Thank you, but I can decide that on my own.
I am curious: I had both my colonoscopy and gastroscopy while I was asleep. (On one procedure I woke up in the middle of it however. It felt like beeing drunk :-)) After the hospital I was happy and relaxed for the rest of the day.
There was no anestesist (extra doc) present in the procedure, so I assumed it was no general anesthesia. But I dont know. Was it?
I really do like Windows, but it has a lot of issues for me:
Pushing its users to Microsoft Accounts, telemetry, ads, bloatware it automatically installs, and last but not least inconsistencies all the way through the OS - and adding another design-layer with windows 11 wont help that.
I think microsoft really need to address some of this and get back to the needs of "prosumers". I personally want a slim but nice looking OS.
The only thing keeping me away from Linux at this point are games. I know, Proton opened huge possibilities but unfortunately it is not enough in my case.
Either games won't work because of DRM (e.g. FallGuys), or the game itself runs fine but needed mods to run online-multiplayer are not possible on Linux. (e.g. Command & Conquer 3 + CnC-Online)
what is legal and illegal for that matter also depends heavily on your location. please keep in mind that a general comment on this topic is most likely difficult, maybe impossible.
Thank you for your work and love on Worms Armageddon. The latest patch is bringing my favourite gamemode "multishot boomrace" to worms armageddon natively. :-)
Is there something like a "roadmap", which things you want to tackle for future updates? (if there are any planed at all, since this is done in your free-time and the last patch was 2013)
Because my oldschool and nostalgic memories are about worms world party i always wondered if it could be possible to get the two games together. It's a little bit sad, that the online-community of wwp is nearly dead, and the remastered version did not get too much momentum.
I always liked the theme/ui of wwp more, because wa's UI feeld a little bit clunky to me. (e.g. the selection of worm-pots does a neat integration of this features) Do you also do/plan some work on the UI?
