That's just embarrassing.

It's not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn't create, didn't really work on, and one they can't extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn't cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn't do much except generate a headline.

Have you ever played swtor? It's a lot like kotor 3 in many respects.

Well personally if a package is not on aur I first check if there's an appimage available, or if there's a flatpak. If neither exist, I generally make a package for myself.

It sounds intimidating, but for most software the package description is just gonna be a single file of maybe 10-15 lines. It's a useful skill to learn and there's lots of tutorials explaining how to get into it, as well as the arch wiki serving as documentation. Not to mention, every aur or arch package can be looked at as an example, just click the "view PKGBUILD" link on the side on the package view. You can even simply download an existing package with git clone and just change some bits.

Alternatively you can just make it locally and use it like that, i.e. just run make without install.

If you made a dollar a day from the time the dinosaurs were killed by the asteroid till today you'd still only have 10% of what he has.

Falcon?

Someone found a way to weaponise bikeshedding.

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.

For me it's a million little details that just don't work. Stuff like positioning windows, removing decorations from a window, remapping buttons on a trackball, setting a graphics output to tvrgb, disabling a display via ssh and enabling it again, etc.

Didn't realise I opened twitter instead of Lemmy today...

I remember some 10-15 years ago when I'd look at the y windows website every couple of months hoping for some news of progress, simply because I was sick of x11 being so crappy. I hated it, it was so fiddly, it didn't work right, I just wanted something that worked.
So you can imagine how happy I was when Wayland started taking off. Here was the promise of something better, something that just worked, it sounded amazing. And yet, today I'm still running xorg and I will be for the foreseeable future.

The reason is simply that in the time passed xorg just became usable, I don't have to think about it, it works reliability, it has all the features I need and I hardly ever have to touch it. Meanwhile, I log into my Wayland session and instantly 3 or 4 of the applications I use daily either don't work or act weird. I go and try and fix the issues and I'm told to just accept it, or that I actually don't exist because Wayland works perfectly for everyone. And I'm not even using an Nvidia card, just plain Radeon.

So I quit and go back to what works. Maybe in a couple of years, until then: no thanks.
