Using a game controller will now count as “activity”, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen. (Yelsin Sepulveda, KDE bug #328987)

I don’t know why this was not done before. I had in the past some nightmare experience trying to play emulation and my screen would go sleep every 15 minutes or so. That’s why I have this disabled and display never sleeps! I am curious to try the new feature if it works as intended.

Well, that’s one thing with Flatpak. There is a permission system, as the applications are fully or partially sandboxed. You can install “Flatseal”, that can change permission for each installed Flatpak application. But it can be confusing or hard to understand what you have to change in order to make it work. Or maybe the application itself is not packaged correctly as a Flatpak, I don’t know.

I trust System76 more than I do trust GNOME.

You could suggest it to the new fork. Maybe he implements it.

So its more a general question how to backup (with versioning) these files. I just always wondered what “manage” in this context meant. I don’t handle them differently than any other file to backup.

I don’t understand what to manage about dotfiles. You mean backups?

Can’t wait for the masterpieces to contain security issues.

Well, you can try a Live CD for first contact. Or even a virtual machine, with a complete install of the operating system and desktop environment, without touching your actual system.

This shouldn’t be a thing of luck, if you are prepared.

The fact that Clair Obscure Expedition 33 was well received as the best game of the year, and found out there was some use of Ai afterwards… tanked it reputation. But the results speak for themselves. This game does not look like Ai slop. This means, companies are motivated to hide this fact even more.

But that is then something else you compare to. Indie refers to be indipendent from publisher when developing the game. At some point at the end of the development, the game has to be published, but that’s not what indie means. And major first party store holder are excluded from this for obvious reasons. But if you want, then count Valve indipendent. That’s not our discussion here.

Take 2 owns Rockstar. GTA 6 is not an indie title. BG3 is developed and published by Larian Studios. BG3 is an indie title. CD Projekt is the publisher. CD Projekt Red is the developer, there is nothing strict about it, they just have similar names.

I think you confuse with developed without publisher and releasing the game to the public. It’s like saying Steam is the publisher, after the game got released on Steam.

Are you trolling? How is GTA 6 an indie title? Rockstar is under Take2 publisher. Same for Witcher 3, which is published by CD Projekt. The developers are CD Projekt Red, two different things. And Baldurs Gate 3 is an indie title.

You should randomly put popular game titles into the mix, without explaining your point. Whats your point again?

So it did not got more expensive then.

Alright i didn’t know they have a publishers.

What constitutes an indie game will always be debated,

How? It’s a well defined term. If you don’t have a publisher and are independent, that’s what indie means. It has nothing to do with budget. Even an indie game can be AAA, because the term AAA refers to how expensive it was. These are two different subjects.

I don’t think E33 should have qualified as an indie game to begin with.

Besides the Ai talk, why do you think so? It is an independent game, without a publisher.

stop it

No, you ignore that both models are different classes. You compare 64gb model without SSD against 512gb SSD model. It’s like saying the 2tb model is more expensive.

$649: 512GB LED vs $549.00 512GB OLED

I have nothing negative to say about the Touch Pads, in fact I fall in love. But the Touch Screen is not very good, especially compared to who good touch works on smartphones in example. Didn’t know it was improved too!
