That person that is kind of lacking in social skills, still weirdly opinionated about really specific things, doesn’t care enough about their appearance for how old they are, and several other holdovers from being a nerdy high school shut in, but is very slowly becoming better. They’re trying to understand how to have more flexible conversations with people, figuring out a clothing style that works for them, and just doing some general growing up. They’re still kind of hard to be around, but you can tell they’ve made progress and that’s all you can really ask of them.

Hopefully it’ll come out on steam next year or something as a single complete edition, just like Control.

It was a good decision. It was also smart of them to review the initial 100 planet goal to add some much needed context

I understand, what confused me was your claim about the common understanding of the term when there are very much two valid and ubiquitous contexts.

I can understand you have different criteria for dedicated servers, but private servers are certainly not generally characterized by still being on 1st party hardware. You need only look at private servers for Minecraft, WoW, and the like

I would say private server is more what you’re referring to, also CIG’s wording, but maybe agree to disagree. A quick search says that they haven’t cancelled that feature, but it’ll appropriately be the very last thing they work on

How are they gone? The current servers are hosted by CIG, there’s no p2p or player hosted servers. How would that even work for an MMO?

Meshing tests have gone up to 2000 and the shards that were left on overnight were 300-500. The current evocati build of 4.0 has meshing enabled, just limited to 100 for now

Personally, I don’t think they should be aiming for 100 anymore, even if it was promised. That number was for the original pitch and was arbitrarily high since it was for a much shallower and easier to create game

Today was day one of Citizencon and CIG revealed a lot of stuff that shows they’re still working to give players the game they want. Most of it was actually tech to answer the scalability problem for everyone wondering how they’re going to get to 100 star systems when they still only have 1

Stat Citizen has its problems, but it’s literally not vaporware since there’s something available that you can download and play with.

Where does it say it was a manual review?

10. You probably want a distro that comes with KDE Plasma. Ubuntu uses GNOME and is not as customizable Plasma ootb. KDE Neon for more stable, Manjaro for more bleeding-edge. Note that you can install Plasma on distros that don’t come with it so you don’t have to get those distros for Plasma.

11. The reason different distros may be listed for installing software on Linux is purely because of the different package managers that the distros use. You won’t run into any software that works on one distro and won’t work on another. The only difference may be the way to install it. The universal way is to build it from source, but if you’re not up for that then check your distro repo via the distros software store, check Flathub for a flatpak version (software stores are usually already configured to use Flathub as a source), or if you’re on an Arch-based distro like Manjaro, check the AUR.

12. KDE Plasma has exactly the keyboard shortcut functionality you’re looking for.

I used to rely heavily on duckdns and it was great for a time, but moved off them a couple of years ago because resolution became inconsistent. I’ve since rolled my own ddns using a script that utilizes Porkbun.com’s DNS record API.

I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:

• a review system
• remote play
• the workshop
• discussion threads
• cards and the points store

and that’s just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.

Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.

Elden Ring with the Seamless Co-op mod. It’s not difficult or complicated to set up and it works extremely well

Not to be confused with white-label products in general

Sorry, I don’t think I understand what you’re suggesting. Are you saying encryption keys should themselves be encrypted?

FYI this story isn’t about plaintext passwords, it’s about plaintext encryption keys to chat history.

I kind of agree that this may be a little overblown. Exploiting this requires device and filesystem access so if you can get the keys you can already get a lot more stuff.

Users who don’t want redundant dependencies will probably prefer AUR packages. It can also be nice to manage all the packages with just the helper app. I try to install the binaries of apps from the AUR if they’re available to avoid the long build times.
