@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @thenewoil AppStore versions of apps are more restricted compared to the binaries you can download and install yourself. Some developers are not willing to invest extra time to comply with restrictions and provide support for these builds. Copy🐈🐈 don't have any problems as they are not planning to provide any support at all. It's a question of customer's false expectations — if cases like that are likely to happen why not act beforehand and put it in the store's policy? 🤷

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @thenewoil In fact it was a real cancer in the early days of Apple's AppStore for Mac. You build something like OpenArena, slap a $6 price tag over it — done! Apple support even refused to remove stuff like this when reported.

@graf This is exactly what will happen. It won't magically turn Russia into an open source paradise. I've been using Linux-based OSes while living in Russia since the late 90-ies. At no point in time any of the common folk showed any interest in all of it. They will illegally download shady "builds" with integrated ransomware, but will not turn to Linux because some fucking reversi game from twenty years ago doesn't work.

@Spudi А пользователь тайлового оконного менеджера даже не сразу поймёт что это, о чём речь 😅

@tennoseremel@mstdn.io @lieslia_sau@mastodon.ml Саундтрек — блистательный шедевр! У меня он даже на диске есть. Жаль, что там нет деконструированных версий вроде
_n C_rcl_s

@ZySoua Вот эти тоже были хорошие 😂

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I've also got myself a Seagate 5Tb USB drive around that time at a discount. Can't really recommend it as it's used as a storage for video files in a makeshift file server so it rarely even spins up, but at least it didn't fail 😅

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network TBH I was shocked myself. I can't say there were crazy workloads on this workstation, just normal DAW work/audio recording and Blacks are workstation-oriented so that shouldn't have been a problem, still… If you need backups, maybe go for WD Red, if I'm not mistaken those are slower and more power efficient (so less heat) — theoretically should make it last longer.

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network I'm disappointed in internal WD drives. Two of four WD Blacks I've bought 5 years ago died completely in 3 years. I didn't lose a thing as both were used in RAID1 arrays and both were replaced under warranty, still, 50% fail rate is r-r-really bad.

@evelyn Space Quest?

@Tutanota Yup, Matrix/Element!

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @slylittlefox@ilyamikcoder.com Oh, I see. At least for you it's the expected behaviour.
xauth +localhost then? As a temporary fix of course.

@slylittlefox@ilyamikcoder.com @iska@mstdn.starnix.network Why even open a display if it's a music file, to display cover art? I think there is an option to disable it though, at least for mpv. Something like --no-audio-display

@evelyn A nasty bug in Firefox which broke all the add-on UI and which they didn't fix for three releases (!) made me build Firefox from source. I guess now is the right time to get to the next level and get rid of WebPee at compile time 😅

@evelyn Interfaces like this are the best. I once made a "remote" for the video player (totem?) on the nettop plugged into the TV-set. It was a static page with five buttons: play/stop, forward 10 secs, back 5 secs, previous file, next file, the links called the python functions that did the real job and I was: "Wow, this works so well". I bet, if I tried to find something already implemented, it would have everything and the kitchen sink, but would break every five minutes.

@evelyn Theoretically it could reduce the heating, which is a good thing… Theoretically 😏

@SuperDicq @Volpit A good counterexample is original C&C's only expansion pack — Covert Operations. It had zero new content, only "new missions". I mean really this stuff could be a bunch of fan-made save games in a zip-file, but they've put it on a CD and it was released as expansion pack: https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_The_Covert_Operations

@seva77 Нет, ну у OnlyFans и H&M даже лучше чем было стало! «Шмотки и Точка» — вообще шикарно, хоть компанию регистрируй 😂

@evelyn Wow! The one who uses text editor to work with SVG uses kdenlive instead of some good old ffmpeg incantations? 😂

@scops 🤝 And I'm running Gomuks on a trusty olde Efika MX nettop. Had to build gcc-go from source though as Genesi never made even Linux kernel 3.0 for the poor thing, so reference Go implementation won't work.
Tried to do the same for PowerPC so I could run it on a G4 MacMini, but… On one platform the register struct in the kernel is a real struct, on the other one it's a macro — this stuff was too much of a neurosurgery grade rocket science to me 😅
