Nine Sols was clearly built on top of Hollow Knight, but my take on the combat is a bit different, Hollow Knight and Nine Sols would be like Dark Souls/Elden Ring (HK) and Sekiro (NS), one is focused on fast movement and dodges while the other is more focused on parry and counter attack mechanics.
I enjoyed both games but I found that with the exception of the last boss Nine Sols was a way easier game after you figure out how to parry effectively.
I also enjoyed the whimsical art style of HK a bit more than the (as said in a comment) "taopunk" style of NS, but that's purely subjective.
But if you enjoy metroidvanias both are great games that you should try.
For me it was the other way around. In Nine Sols I got immediately stuck in the boss (mini-boss?) fight against two enemies and the flying gal.
Hollow Knight was difficult at times (Coliseum of Fools, Radiance) but it never felt unfair. Some fights (Mantis Lords, Grimm) are among the best times I've had playing a game
Android has granular control over notifications, which is great because some apps that I need send a lot of marketing notifications that I don't care about but I cannot get rid of essential notifications.
Not all apps do it and some push all notifications through a single channel (and some manufacturers hide the granularity options in advanced settings, I'm looking at you Samsung) but at least it exists.
iOS is the same, though I’ve found that the truly granular control depends on the vendor exposing the control in the app. Scummy companies—most of them—make notifications all or nothing.
It’s not JUST marketing either. I don’t want to be interrupted with a reminder to check my lint filter. I do that literally every time I change the laundry. But I can’t disable that pointless alert without disabling ALL alerts (and you can rightly question whether any alerts from a dryer have value, but that’s a different discussion).
In the LTT video the framework CEO explains that AMD wasn't able to make LPCAMM work because of signal integrity over the bus reasons.
But 2000 dollars for up to 110GB of VRAM in Linux makes this a VERY interesting little machine, so much that the framework website has a cloudflare queue right now...
One of the comments in the main thread says that the original vision for the fedora flatpaks was to be mainly for things that fedora wanted to have tight control and be preinstalled in their distros (Firefox, LibreOffice, GNOME and apps, etc...), which makes a lot of sense, but at some point it lost their original vision and started packaging everything under the sun.
In another comment someone says that most of the extra packages are maintained by a single person (more than 700), there's no way a single person can validate and test all these packages (or even use them).
Not sure where you saw this, as that was also my argument why Flatpak gave "application developers are in control of the release cycle" again instead of this being the packager; they can't perform the same quality control.
They should never package what rpmfusion offers, or distribute a new flatpak when something is already available. That worked when flathub didn't exist or was mostly empty, but that time is gone now.
Note: I want to understand what led to the comment of the C&D-like legal threat.
As for the C&D, the github has some issues with Fedora distros and labeled as "Dependency issues" and there's no indication if the user is using the fedora flatpak or the flathub one, so if I had to guess I would guess that they aren't that happy with:
1. Being asked to fix bugs introduced by downstream.
2. Having their brand damaged because it isn't clear that the fedora
flatpak is a way more limited version than the verified one.
3. Having their issues with their complaints minimized and ignored by
the people responsible for the fedora flatpak system.
The thing about complaints being "minimized and ignored" really isn't true. There is a gigantic thread that's a direct response to their complaints: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/463
yes, it recently got unfortunately heated with the whole "whose idea about what to do with Qt is better" argument, but the whole way through that ticket - which was filed 23 days ago, and has had active discussion going that whole time, including being the main topic at multiple workstation WG meetings - it's been pretty clear that the outcome is likely to involve Fedora flatpaks being demoted. The very first post is a proposal - by a key member of the workstation WG - to move flathub ahead of Fedora flatpaks in the precedence order. Consistently through the discussion, catanzaro and other workstation WG members have been supporting that idea, with a lot of discussion and argument about the details, as you always get in F/OSS projects. we do all the sausage factory stuff in the open, that's the point.
it's not exactly a case of 'lost their original vision'. Fedora is generally a fairly permissive project; we let maintainers do stuff. Since the mechanism to build Fedora flatpaks was needed (for the bundled flatpaks for Silverblue), it was normal - in Fedora terms - to say hey, let's just let maintainers use to it build flatpaks of any Fedora package, if they want to.
The obs-studio Fedora flatpak exists because the maintainer (yselkowitz) decided to make one. Ditto the few hundred others that exist - https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/flatpak-sig . Some of those are dupes of flathub, some aren't. Of the ones that are dupes, in some cases the flathub build is 'official', in other cases it isn't.
and yeah, yselkowitz created a lot of them, most of which are very simple - it's not really a lot of work to create a flatpak when there's an existing package, the definitions for most of them look like https://src.fedoraproject.org/flatpaks/bless/blob/stable/f/c... . Kinda the point of Fedora flatpaks is that you get a lot of the work done 'for free' in the package build.
I don't know why he decided to create all of those, maybe the idea was to try and create a critical mass of stuff so it would be kinda viable to get all your software from Fedora flatpak repos the way you can get all your software from Fedora RPM repos, if you want to.
> it's not exactly a case of 'lost their original vision'.
Considering that one person that says that he worked at the beginning of the project writes that the original idea wasn't to compete with flathub and given the current state of affairs I would argue that the project today doesn't have the original vision anymore.
As for creating a ton of projects, today with LLMs I'm pretty sure that I can write code that scrapes github repos for installation instructions and use it to create thousands of packages for everything that can run in Linux, doesn't mean that I should because there would be no quality control at all.
It is a noble idea to create packages to help create critical mass, but even with simple packages, seven hundred are more than anyone can use specially when we're talking about software that most likely have a GUI, and if you never really use most of the packages that you create you are bound to create these issues with QA.
All of that could be avoided (or minimized) if the fedora project created two flatpak repos, one for core software and one for contrib software, but that probably would be clear competition to flathub and probably be mostly ignored.
You're stuck with cloudflare nameservers¹, so if you want to change nameservers you need to transfer them to other registrar, how much of a deal breaker this is is up to you, to me is project dependent.
> 6.1 Nameservers. Registrant agrees to use Cloudflare’s nameservers. REGISTRANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT MAY NOT CHANGE THE NAMESERVERS ON THE REGISTRAR SERVICES, AND THAT IT MUST TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY REGISTRAR IF IT WISHES TO CHANGE NAMESERVERS.
there are very few parts of that contract in all caps, but that's one of them :/
That's annoying. For some use cases, not a big deal. But I have used the AWS Route 53 'alias' functionality on a number of occasions and that requires the use of Route 53 nameservers.
> I’m wrong but I’m struggling to think of a killer feature of Twitch or an aspect of the overall experience that’s better than YouTube Live videos.
Discoverability, content creators and community.
Live streaming is a second class citizen on youtube, and as such it is hidden under dropdowns, the live streams aren't always on the top of your followers, live recommendations are worse than useless and the big creators that move to youtube do like Ninja with Mixer, with a big fat paycheck to justify the loss of viewership and community.
Yeah, a PS2 controller has a graveyard at the center when compared to a PS5 or series controller, just grab a cheap USB controller from Amazon and use some tool to see the precision of modern controllers.
That said, unless conventional sticks get way cheaper I'll stick to hall effect ones.
At least for Xbox controllers and headsets (and logitech lightspeed mouses too) they don't use bluetooth, they use a proprietary protocol, you can connect them using bluetooth but if you really want low latency you will need a proprietary dongle.
I suppose sony do something similar, and as far as I know they all use the 2.4GHz band.
Good thing both Xbox and Playstation controllers have a 3.5mm jack and I don't need to buy their overpriced shitty headsets to play without significant audio latency.
