Yeah, I do wonder what that means. People running away from you on the streets isn’t a huge deal. But if you can’t buy stuff in shops unless you drop your weapon, that’s annoying and not much else…

While watching, I was thinking that roguelike could be a solution here. Cool to see that it’s actually working out.

If I remember right, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is also stealth-y + a roguelike. Gonna have to try that again. I believe, I actually found it too tense last time around, but might’ve just been past-me. 🫠

I also have to say, I really hate that mark-enemies-manually feature. As the wisdom goes: “Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.”

I’m that player. I will spend far too much time trying to mark any pixel of any enemy that shows up on my screen. It’s not fun, but I’ll do it anyways, because the game is telling me this is the big mission, this is where the prep work is important.

It also never made sense to me lore-wise. How can you be able to track people once they’re marked, but you can’t detect them without marking? Whatever technology you use to track their movement after marking, it has to be able to detect that movement without line of vision. If anything moves in the area, just show me that. 🤨

Can you launch the original executable by itself?

So, if you run the command, that you put into the .desktop file, in a terminal, does that work?

the company says the change will only impact “4% of Game Pass subscribers.”

I bet, they averaged the play times and that’s how they came up with that figure. I can believe that only a small percentage of their customers average more than 15h per month.

But you know how these things go.
You start playing a game that you really enjoy and suddenly you’re binging that for the whole weekend. That’s your 15h for the month gone.

Or you’ve got your two-week vacation in a particular month and suddenly you’re playing multiple hours each day. Don’t even need math to figure out that 15h are not enough for 14 multi-h sessions.

There’s just going to be variations in playtime and now you’ll have to pay up for that.

That would have also been my intuition, but apparently the driver is involved. At least, unloading the driver solved it in this case: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269796

This sounds exactly like your problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269796

It’s quite a lot of detailed technology talk, which I don’t expect you to understand. The main takeaway should be this:

So the problem is [temporarily] solved by running: rmmod hid_apple

This command unloads a driver that’s potentially interfering here. The driver will be loaded again on next reboot.
Which is useful, because you can just try it out and if it doesn’t work (or if it breaks something), you can just do a reboot and everything is back to normal.

You will need admin/root permissions to run this command, so the real command you need to run is: sudo rmmod hid_apple
It will ask you for your login password to confirm running the command.

If that does fix it, then we can look into making it permanent.

my kb Fx keys are unusable for almost a year now and i exhausted all possible way to fix it.

Unusable as in nothing at all happens, or do they do things like volume up/down when you press them?

If the latter, there may be an “FnLock” key combination you have to press. Usually, it’s something like Fn+Esc. Or Fn + whatever key has a lock symbol or “FnLock” written on it…

Yeah, I like crosswords as a concept, but so many puzzles have prompts like “Jebuses’ Dad’s cousin, thrice removed”.

How would I ever just know the answer to that? And even if I work out most of the intersecting letters, it’s some random name/word in a foreign language, so there’s no way I’ll guess the rest.
It’s just a dead-end in the word crossing logic, which is quite shite.

Well, politics isn’t about finding the one principle to rule them all. The folks/companies that find restricting access to children important, probably don’t particularly care about some Linux devices being excluded. And other folks/companies find not restricting their Linux server really important, so that’s a compromise that can be made.

I imagine, they landed on specifically open-source being excluded as the more abstract rule, because open-source in particular has a problem here.
Anyone can download open-source software and run it. In most cases, there is no central backend, which could handle age verification.

And even if there is, it’s not really financially viable to offer that for anyone who downloads the software for free. Requiring payment to access the binaries or the source code would also effectively kill the open-source ecosystem, which is also not in the interest of most people.

Not everyone’s in the US…

Lemmy uses Markdown for storing/displaying comments, specifically the CommonMark flavor with some extensions, as documented here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html

And yeah, no, that doesn’t have a way to underline,

except

maybe

one

of

these

here,

depending on the Markdown implementation in the client. Some clients might also choose to underline the highlighting, that’s normally 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤.

Links may be underlined as well.

Well, and then you’ve also got this thing, which is certainly a line under this text:

On Lemmy, we also got strikethrough. Priorities, I guess. 🙃

But yeah, no proper, consistent underlining in Markdown/Lemmy. 🥴

Oh man, I just checked what it looks like in Firefox:

I had written that comment in the Jerboa app (and fiddled with it to make it look reasonable):

when the software (in this case, lemmy’s md to html engine) tries to do the rendering instead of the browser.

And nope, in this case I added the Unicode for the underline myself. Well, I used this app. That passes straight through the MD→HTML conversion without being touched.
And it actually is rendered by the browser, but yeah, by the browser’s Unicode+font rendering, not the CSS engine. Or in case of Jerboa, by Android’s Unicode+font rendering.
Would certainly be nice, if these would look the same. 🫠

Wikipedia has a good map:

Tried it by now and I have to say, it is a lot tenser than it has any right to be…

It’s on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.sesu8642.feudaltactics

Yeah, it’s just your usual buttons:

• Bold → Fett
• Italic → Kursiv
• U͟n͟d͟e͟r͟l͟i͟n͟e͟d → U͟n͟t͟e͟r͟s͟t͟r͟i͟c͟h͟e͟n

Looks like a Logo script to me…

Alternatively, elif and else…

I always feel like the much bigger challenge is whether anyone can still maintain the codebase afterwards. You throw away so much institutional knowledge by doing a conversion like this…
