Itellä ollut jo pitkään tapana sanoa myyjille suoraan, että kunnon alennus sit päälle tai vaihdan moille/prepaidiin.

Hinnasta saa aina pois oikein kunnolla kunhan kysyy ja heti näyttää että tietää näistä myyntikikoista. Ei pitäisi tarvita mutta niin se on.

Elisa yritti vielä rumempaa kikkaa, soittivat ilmoittamaan että nopeampaa kotinettiä saa nyt samaan hintaan viihdepaketilla. Elisa viihde ei kiinnosta pätkääkään, joten kysyin saanko paremman hinnan ja netin vieläkin edullisemmin ilman pakettidiiliä.

Ei, kuulemma.

Valhe. Heti kun itse menin katsomaan päivitetyt hinnat, perusnettikin oli nopeampi ja halvempi kuin ennen. Mutta puhelimessa teeskenneltiin ettei moista uudistusta ole, joten ellen olisi käynyt katsomassa, olisi vanha kalliimpi jäänyt käyttöön.

sigh of relief

Not really. Just install bottles, usage is extremely self-explanatory as the UI is very good.

But if you need more details, the bottles docs are great.

Bottles has a wine manager that allows you to install various wine versions, and switch between them. You can also use the system installed version or even more versions installed by protonup-qt.

Winetricks is included.

No, actually.

Your game files do not need to be inside a prefix, and I generally do not set things up that way.

Same as on windows you can have your c drive, but then install games to a different drive. You can mount any file location as an additional drive in wine. There is usually already a “z” drive mounted, which gives the prefix access to the filesystem outside the prefix.

This means there’s not actually any need to place things inside the prefix, except for save files which need to be in specific locations like appdata or documents.

So to move things over and run them, you’d just copy the game files anywhere you like. To run a game, instead of a location on the c drive, you’d use the corresponding z drive path to the exe.

With bottles, this is super easy. Set up a bottle, and copy any save files into the prefix. Easily done with “browse files” from the config page of a bottle, which will open the fake c drive in a file browser.

With a configured bottle, simply navigate to the game .exe. Right click it, and select run with bottles. Bottles will ask which bottle to run it with, and that’s that. Alternatively, use the “Run executable” button found on the config page of the bottle. For ease of use, add the exe to the bottle as a shortcut.

Shortcuts can then also be added as start menu items, or even added to steam.

No need to fiddle with putting all the game files inside the fake c drive.

Setting things up this way means you have your prefix, with save files and such, separate from the game files. You can easily delete or add games, without touching the save-file-containing prefix, and move games around to wherever you need and still have them work.

You can re-use the same bottle for many games, and keep the save files for those games in one prefix.

If a given game needs a bit more massaging to work, bottles makes it very easy set up and manage additional bottles for any such games.

Well, Endeavour is just arch. If you want, you can achieve the same install that has only the things you need, by removing things instead of just adding.

IMO it starts off closer to the config most people want, so it’s less work to take it the rest of the way.

Not even close, if you actually install barebones arch, then barebones arch is exactly that, barebones. You wont even have a DE.

Endeavour is what you want. It’s just straight up arch, but with all the stuff you’d want to set up anyway done for you.

And if you want an “app-store” style app to browse packages with, and not fiddle with the command line to manage packages, install pamac. It can be expanded with AUR and flatpak support.

With AUR it’s as easy as installing any other package, actually.

You just install the git version from AUR.

No clue. Haven’t used it in years. I was done when I went looking for a fix for the compositor thing and found a years-old open bug report.

I do want to add that new games can also require new packages, the way Alan Wake II did at launch. Even on Arch you had to compile the development version of Mesa for it to run.

Cinnamons compositor doesn’t turn off for games (it’s supposed to but has been bugged for years) which costs you fps.

Playing Alan Wake 2 at launch was only possible with the latest Mesa drivers compiled from the AUR due to some graphics features that it required.

I need to catch up on this. I recall really enjoying the first season.

Still just on the first step, embrace.

Apparently threads didn’t support federating replies (comments) on posts until this.

And you still won’t be able to reply to the federated comments on posts, just see them.

They are really not in a hurry to properly support federating. I honestly didn’t realize Threads’ federation support was this pathetic.

Modern ADSL and VDSL can get you pretty far… But they don’t hold a candle to fibre.

Yes. Nine months is long enough for stuff to potentially be broken due to changes in matrix or discord.

Even if you don’t care about double puppeting, I was referring to the fact that out of your element doesn’t do puppeting. At all.

As in no DMs or discord account log in. All it does is mirror chat rooms onto matrix, allowing matrix users to join them. It does not link to your existing discord account in any way.

I use mautrix. It creates a matrix space where all your discord stuff goes, and within that it will create spaces for each server you manually choose to bridge.

DMs also go into a DMs space. DMs are bridged automatically, but each server you want has to be added with a command.

Looking at those three, appservice is old, and out of your element does not do puppeting (meaning it bridges discord-matrix chat rooms, rather matrix-discord accounts), making mautrix the best option IMO.

If you are looking to make a discord server you run accessible on matrix, out of your element may be better.

For using your own discord account through matrix, mautrix is the obvious choice.

The story is kind of a reverse isekai, where a bunch of fantasy characters end up in the real world and have trouble with modern fast-food.

So yeah.

I think OP is looking for a desktop application, not a selfhosted cloud platform.

It’s not just similar. Speedo is literally a newgrounds creator. Newgrounds is still a thing, and it seems to be growing. Guess it kinda helps that lots of platforms for creatives like Deviant have gone to shit, while Newgrounds has just kept chugging along.

Indie animation is having something of renaissance with Hazbin, Satina, Lackadaisy, Cliffside… etc.

And that’s without mentioning that Starbarians is somehow still a thing, while channels like MeatCanyon, FlashGitz and Doobus are absolutely exploding.

FlashGitz in particular is also starting en entire series and has a pilot out for Space King.

Plus James Lee seems to finally be getting traction.
