Been enjoying a Logitech MX Master 3S myself, it's definitely a nice mouse to handle, but it's also not something that could be called particularly small.

Well, this has certainly caused quite a bit of drama from all sides.

I'm curious about the earlier audit of libolm which happened many years back (and by a reputable company), it feels like it should've found any potentially exploitable issues after all - including timing attacks.

GitLab has been working on support for ActivityPub/ForgeFed federation as well, currently only implemented for releases though.

Mercurial does have a few things going for it, though for most use-cases it's behind Git in almost all metrics.

I really do like the fact that it keeps a commit number counter, it's a lot easier to know if "commit 405572" is newer than "commit 405488" after all, instead of Git's "commit ea43f56" vs "commit ab446f1". (Though Git does have the describe format, which helps somewhat in this regard. E.g. "0.95b-4204-g1e97859fb" being the 4204th commit after tag 0.95b)

I've bought a couple of lewd games, sponsored development of another few, but generally their development pace tends to be absolutely glacial.

Either that, or it's turned out to just be a token "game" to try and sell a gallery of - oftentimes average quality - artwork.
Really not a fan of when people do that. If I want to buy an artwork gallery, then let me buy an artwork gallery. If I want a game, then I actually do want a game.

Well, one available case you can look at is Uru: Live / Myst Online, currently running under the name Myst Online: Uru Live: Again.

They open-sourced their Dirt/Headspin/Plasma engine, which required stripping out - among other things - the PhysX code from it.

I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Completely blanked on early access pricing, so yes, if you bought it before release then it was likely cheaper still.

[–] ace@lemmy.ananace.dev 1 points 2 months ago

That is true, I didn't even think of early access.

It's reasonably easy to guess exactly what you paid for the game, since the only change in price since launch was a $5 bump in January last year. It's never been on sale.

It releases while I'm on the way back home from a trip to Manchester, might have to bring my Deck so I can play on the flight/train.

 

21st of October, let's go!

Available on Steam for wishlisting now as well.
Not sure I agree with having the expansion on the same cost as the base game, but it is a tremendous amount of changes and improvements, both in the free patch as well as the additional paid content. So I'm definitely going to buy it.

Ended up getting a Kobo Elipsa 2E myself a while back, and it's been a real pleasure to use. There's no stupid device-level DRM on it to try and prevent me from actually using it for my reading, and the onboard storage is just a simple microSD so it's really easy to upgrade if I want to fit even more books.

KOReader has been a real treat to run on it, letting me sync books from my home NAS over WebDav, push books directly to it over scp, I've even been poking at a plugin to have it automatically sync books off of a local reading tracker I've written.

 

It's getting close, next week should bring a planned release date.

 
 

Looks like things are going to get really interesting

 

It's nice to see the continued balancing and optimization work that they're doing, and more modding capabilities is always great.

 

Not sure how well bombastic brass will do over longer periods of play, but I'm sure Wube have thought of that - going to be really interesting to see/hear this in action.

 
 
 

The quality of life just keeps on coming.
