  • Why is my Android copy of Balatro unable to use the same cloud save system as Steam?

    I’m going to be honest because this sounds like a frivolous reason, but this is pretty much the only reason I haven’t bought Balatro for Android.

    It’s one of my favourite games, and it’s not even the price holding me back.

    I’m just trying to get all of the achievements and I don’t want to unlock one and then have to do it again on the computer version.




  • I didn’t know IKEA made video games?

    They don’t, they make furniture. You clearly don’t understand metaphors.

    When they go out of business you can’t download even if you do or don’t have a license.

    If Ikea goes out of business, you can’t buy their products anymore and the ones you do have you need to protect and make sure they don’t degrade. Your argument is true for every single product, digital or physical.

    The games from GOG don’t have any DRM so you can very easily make copies of the game and safely store them elsewhere, even on new computers.

    Games that do have DRM lock you down to verify that you’re allowed to play their game, which severely limits how you can use your own product. If that game publisher or developer goes out if business than you can’t play the game that you already have, even if it’s kept “pristine”.

    People who bought The Sims 4 couldn’t play their offline game because the DRM stopped them, meanwhile people didn’t buy the game were free to play it when they wanted. The legitimate buyers of the game were punished simply because of DRM.














  • F-Stop adds an XMP tag imbedded into the image file. I’m going to assume Aves does the same but I haven’t used it much yet to know.

    I would love to be able to find an image service (like PhotoPrism) I can run on my server that can read the tags that I like to use (Date/time, geo location, title/descriptions, and faces). I want that info in the image file itself so that I can easily switch to another service if needed.

    I’m still trying to find a way to make back-up copies of the original and then tag/organize photos to be used with a self-hosted viewer, whatever it may be.


  • FlorisBoard for several months now. It has no text prediction

    The good news is that feature is currently in development. There’s a beta build on GitHub that has it sort of implemented. There’s some details on the FlorisBoard matrix channel on getting it.

    M.A.L.P., for when I’m playing music on the house system

    Do you mind explaining your setup a bit more? I’ve currently got a few Sonos speakers but I don’t like being locked into their system and have always been interested in a more open setup.

    I’ve seen Snapchat and I know of MPD (but don’t fully understand it, to be honest) but it seems there isn’t much information about these types of setups.
