Skyrim on steam: 39 bucks imho too much, place it on player’s wishlist and when a discount is going snap it up 😀 pros and cons: [+] looks really awesome after all these years (with shader mods + character facelift […]

I also now sneak apps on user’s phones that the user never installed or authorized to just to gather as much private data about the user as possible… hope user shurely does not mind right? users are pretty upset here […]

why have one package management system if the user can have 3x 4x 5x? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_(software) https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt.git to keep it simple imho it would be better to use only one “one to rule em all” (maybe python pip as exception) https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/a364ii/proscons_of_snap_vs_apt/ […]

“A Flash Player emulator written in Rust ” this is PRETTY cool yes html + javascript basically decimated the use of the FlashPlayer but flash had some strong points: java like language flexible % layouts were easy to make still […]

yes it’s possible via eclipse plugin called “corrosion” X-D (wondering when the WD40 will come into play? oh wait hewego…) but it’s not easy to get working X-D because for some reason debugging only works when eclipse is started via […]

Mobile Version: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.afrikalan.tuxmath/ Desktop Version: also if the user has been using rss reader apps, the user probably knows that StarShip fully-stacked maiden flight is said to be this week 😀 and: it might very well be GNU Linux powered! 😀 […]

mekotronicsplz note: “the-best-technology-does-nothing-without-a-good-human-culture” Yes! Read that correctly, modern SmartPhones are actually full blown computers, so why not use them as such? Now that they have enough (RISC) based computational power that they can replace Desktop and Notebooks, problem: they can […]

Even managed to run this system ONLY with SOLAR POWER from March to November (but not winter X-D) Of course RISC(V/ARM) based (mobile) gaming systems would be those that use the least amount of power per frame 😀 But it […]

RetroArch ROCKS! with those cold and dark winter times coming around again, it’s time for some (CO2 neutral because Solar Power stored in battery) GAMING! 😀 get a gamepad 😀 can recommend: logitech f310 search eBay (buy second hand if […]

I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. ‘That’s easy,’ he replied. ‘When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice.’ https://www.indy100.com/people/this-terrifying-rupert-murdoch-quote-is-possibly-the-best-reason-to-stay-in-the-eu-yet-7291931 src […]

first always say something positive: runs Ubuntu per default (can also run Win10 for Win based games) THE DESIGN IS GREAT the controller seams to be good (sold separately?) THE HARDWARE is (performance wise) okay Atari seems to ship updates […]

Yes! Being amongst the stars, exploring new worlds, is a great adventure… … even better if one brings some friends. and with mods… imho Kerbal Space Program is more than a game… it is a simulation and as such, it […]

what it is: it is a very detailed, tedious, noice physics, nice graphics voxel based build-stuff space, universe and planets simulation not like kerbal space program but equally tricky so definitely more aimed at the tech savvy engineer than at […]

“Knights, Orks and Skeletons (of course)” Severance Blade of Darkness (2001) is an very very old (almost 20 (!!!) years now) open world adventure game almost a “Lara Croft” in “the middle ages” meeting Orks from “Lord of the Rings” […]

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/ Crysis 1 – was not only – another shooter – it had a unique idea: what if one had a suite – like Iron Man? (why is there no Iron Man game? oh hang on … there is one) […]

Almost 10 years after it’s release – Mass Effect 2 grafix are still pretty pretty 🙂 the Mass Effect 2 setup was not working. When one inserts DVD2 and hits “retry” nothing happens. “simply copy all the files from the […]

while the Unreal Engine has a great reputation for being very realistic looking (despite the name X-D) but physics was often neglected or lacking at all. not so anymore? what was great about red faction 1 (THQ (2001–2013)) – you […]
