31·3 days agoTheir metric for “older” is two years or more.
Good point. I forgot about that possibility because I don’t spend much time playing in Open mode.
The same thing tends to happen on stronghold carriers in Solo mode, I suspect because Frontier programmed the game to spawn a bunch of NPC ships eager to dock with those carriers when a mini-instance is created. You can be the only player within light years, and still have to wait several minutes for all those NPCs to leave before you can dock.
*facepalm*
Ah… Yes, it was most likely a fleet carrier, then. Those are owned by players, and not always open to the public.
Was it Elite Dangerous? Stations grant docking clearance if you’re within range when you request it; I think it’s about 7500 meters. Check out the in-game the tutorials. One of them teaches this.
20·6 days agoFor anyone reading this who is unfamiliar with Debian’s release process, the Testing distribution is not a release. Rather, it is a holding area for packages that may eventually become part of a release.
Some people choose to run it instead of Debian Stable in order to get more recent non-security updates to packages, with the understanding that occasional breakage is normal for Testing.

The right answer is definitely not landfill.
Most people use their computers to run a web browser, maybe a word processor or media player, and… not much else. Even someone who has only used Windows can figure out those basics on a Linux desktop.
If the charities are unable/unwilling to provide support for Linux, they could give computers away on Craigslist before dumping more e-waste into our environment.
12·10 days agoWow… Given that the GPU was released just a few days ago, that’s impressive for open-source drivers. Thanks for posting this.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:
Yes, that’s what I thought: It’s just affiliate linking (aka marketing) that any app can use, not a partnership between Heroic and GOG. Thanks for following up and confirming it.
Quoting /u/imLinguin in the post you linked:
Heroic dev here. We are just part of the affiliate program since we help people access GOG on Linux easier. There is nothing more, so there is no need for official announcements from the GOG side.
Gog funds Heroic.
By some other means than affiliate link payouts? I’m not aware of any such arrangement, but if one exists, can you link some details about it?
There are also GUI launchers that can download from GOG:
Thank you for saving me the time it would have taken to check it out. I don’t buy Denuvo games.
Affiliate links are not business partnerships. Does Heroic have anything more than that with GOG?
EDIT: The answer is no, GOG is not partnered with Heroic Games Launcher.
What milestone?
2·15 days agoI don’t find it surprising at all. Lots of software bugs remain hidden until some circumstance triggers them. Different hardware, different levels of system load, different filesystems… all sorts of things can make a difference.
For what it’s worth, I was using packaged builds on Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and Debian.
Glad you’ve been lucky. :)
I’ve tried it several times over the years, but was disappointed every time to find that it was very crashy. I hope they get that sorted out.
I would be satisfied with people not making wild, misleading, insulting claims about others in the first place.
I wonder why you’re so intent on arguing in support of that behavior.
I don’t know if any of what you claim is true, since I haven’t followed those discussions. However, even if true, none of it would mean they are anti-LGBT.
