I hate to be that guy, but it doesn't seem like there's anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don't work, and the domain for the "email" is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn't seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.

I can understand that it's a new fork, but in my mind you'd want to at least make sure the Readme is... passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.

EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I'm still incredibly skeptical of the project though

It's not exactly the same, but I can vouch for StreetComplete being an incredibly good/similar game. You walk around the real world, and the app points out missing data in OpenStreetMap that you can fill in easily. You get the dopamine of a number going up, help dethrone proprietary map dominamce, and get some good excercise in in the process.

I love Linux. I have it installed on 3 machines, have been using it for over 3 years, and would install it right away if I ever got a new computer.

A couple weeks ago, I was feeling pretty exhausted and just wanted to play a game thru Proton on my laptop. I got it running, but it was unplayable because it was using my integrated GPU instead of my discrete one. I spent the night switching compositors, cables, and drivers, but none of it fixed the issue.

The next day, feeling exhausted from fruitless debugging, I tried to launch another game via Proton that I knew had worked in the past, but it crashed on launch. I spent the whole day going thru the same steps I did the day before, but also consulting ProtonDB and trying software that would force usage of the dgpu.

The next day, I installed Windows 10 to an external hard drive and spent the day debloating it. Drivers got installed automatically, I downloaded both games on Steam, and they just worked. So I guess I now dual-boot Windows just for the games that don't work thru Proton. Loading game worlds and booting up take ~75% longer, but that's to be expected because it's running on a 4 year old HDD connected over a USB cable.

As mentioned earlier, I love Linux a lot, and if all games had native binaries or Proton worked 100% I'd format that god-forsaken hard drive. But when real life has got me down, I don't need Linux to get me down further. I don't like Windows, and I feel incredibly dirty whenever I press F7 on boot to get to Windows. But when my choices are "spend 8 hours on fruitless quest to get >2fps" and "press play button", I'm going to take the path of least resistance.

This guy goes by the name Skweezy Jibbs, and he's actually a comedian! Look him up if you don't know him, he's done some pretty funny stuff. https://knowyourmeme.com/...

USB-C worldwide? That surprises me, I thought it'd just be the EU. I wonder what the catch will be 🤔

The brief explanation is that Nitter worked by creating "guest accounts", which were a leftover from when you used to be able to use the Twitter mobile app without an account. After creation, these accounts lasted for a month. The time since the ability to create these accounts was removed is nearing (has reached?) a month

I assume the console / game store pays for the bandwidth, not them. No skin off their back

While I do agree that this is bad, I'm a little confused—what does this have to do with dead internet theory? Doesn't that relate to users being bots?

Oh wow, this is hands-down the best Minesweeper experience I've ever had, not just on mobile. Huge props to the devs

Lsen -> "Listen [,]"

OlsenFish -> "I'll send fish"

Edit: No, it's just the OlsenFish. The "Lsen" I thought I saw at the top was part of "Olsen", my vision failed me again >_<

I'm at college right now, which is a 3 hour drive away from my home, where a server of mine is. I just have to ask my parents to turn it back on when the power goes out or it gets borked. I access it solely through RustDesk and Cloudflare Tunnels SSH (it's actually pretty cool, they have a web interface for it).

I have no car, so there's really no way to access it in case something catastrophic happens. I have to rely on hopes, prayers, and the power of a probably outdated Pop!_OS install. Totally doesn't stress me out I'll just say I like to live on the edge :^)

Replace "x.com" in the URL with "xcancel.com" to see context, replies, chronological user tweets, etc. It's a Nitter instance that still works.

I don't keep a super close eye on Apple's recent products. I don't really care enough to be in the know about what they might do next, I just hear about what comes out as it comes out and move on with my life. I also wasn't aware that there was a 10 year plan because I was too young to care when it was announced. Sorry for the confusion :(

I think what was meant here is that it won't run apps designed for the Oculus Quest lineup (which is based on Android), not the actual Facebook application

The instance blocking in .19 only blocks posts from an instance, not comments.

I'm sure a lot of forks will pop up right around this time. I'll be less skeptical of them once I see actual commits made to the codebase instead of things like just changing the readme

I've been using the Wayfire window manager with an NVIDIA GPU and 2 monitors with different refresh rates and I don't encounter many issues. Rarely it'll still crash, but I've managed with this setup for around 6 months.

My next GPU will probably still be AMD though.
