If you use the barebones one, then you’re actually using Arch 😉

Awesome!

The Danctnix thing I presume, not really Arch in the true sense 😉

But good to hear! Make sure to report the bugs you encounter so they can be fixed!

Nice, we don’t encounter many people daily driving it. What distro do you use?

Yes it was, we were working on restoring it. It’s back up now.

You live in a climate that’s not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it’s nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

We also hope to migrate development to Gitea once federation is implemented.

That is awesome to hear! Lemmy federating with the code forge it’s hosted on sounds awesome!

Great news! However as long as Mozilla shows no interest whatsoever in developing a mobile UI, I don’t have much hope honestly. The mobile-firefox-config we develop at postmarketOS works fine, but it’ll never be as great as an actual mobile UI.

Huh I actually like the GE, way better than spam chatting in a city square somewhere 🤷

How’s this related to the original game? As in licensing issues?

Idk about 2006scape, but I can tell about 2009scape.org. The server is fully FOSS and AGPL-3.0 licensed. No code from the original game is present, it’s all rebuild.

The client is different and a bit more difficult, there is a project that’s decompiling and deobfuscating the original client from around that time. It’s not FOSS because it can’t be, it’s not their code to relicense, they don’t own it. However it existing makes it possible for an alternative fully FOSS client to be created, as the internal workings of the original client is then known and documentation can be written about it. That way the new client developers can develop the new client without having to look at the original code, they just have to look at the documentation written based on that original code.

An alternative client like that hasn’t been developer so far though sadly, I believe the community is more focused currently on the server-side and deobfuscating the original client.

Huh, so this is like 2009scape.org but for 2006? Interesting, I wonder which project is further along. I personally prefer the 2009 era at least so I don’t think I’ll play this.

Newpipe or even better, LibreTube, for even more privacy (and included sponsorblock!).

Does that include all the pictures on there?

It can’t. 60 million odd articles with pictures only taking 20GB? I doubt it. Just the text taking up so few space that I can believe.

I believe just as viable as a Raspberry Pi, but not much more.

Cable only half-way plugged in, if only I had the same problem 😅

In my case it seems to be an unfortunate hardware/software combo bug. I’m due for a new PC sometime soon anyway, I’ll have to be patient for a bit.

That… Is interesting 🤔 Linux can be fun but it should foremost just be a way to run your apps, just “be an OS”, nothing more. Choose some well-supported enterprise distro like Fedora or Ubuntu or whatever and just do what you do on a computer, minus customizing it.

I know that’s not how addiction works, but I’m sure there is some way for you to run Linux without having addiction problems. Now you’re resorting to an OS that spies on you and fills you with ads, is that really what you want?

Not just switching audio when appropriate, I can’t get it to play any audio on the headset whatsoever. Yeah it’s still possible to play with the audio on my PC speakers but it’s a severely worse experience sadly.

Personally I’m experiencing https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux/issues/334 so I can’t help you sorry. Hope you find the answer though!

I’m jealous you’re even able to play it on X11. I’ve played it exclusively on Windows purely because VR on Linux is too buggy with my setup. At first the VR window only showed on my desktop and not actually on my Valve Index, and after finding a workaround it only plays at 90Hz with stuttering. Even if I manage to play through that there is the issue that audio doesn’t play through the headset and you can’t configure audio devices from within SteamVR. It’s a big mess honestly…

Monado (a FOSS OpenXR runtime) works fine however, I wish Steam just used that underneath…

Also I’ll be honest I have no idea what mastodon is.

Mastodon is to Twitter what Lemmy is to Reddit: a decentralized alternative built on the ActivityPub protocol for the fediverse.

But tons of libraries used out there are not in those runtimes, and this scenario still applies to them.

Better to just not use Windows at all at that point tbh. Go join us on the light side and use some Linux distro!
