I’m pretty picky about my keyboard layout (a specific variant of bépo) and I’ve found it surprisingly awkward to use a layout that isn’t provided. I know that Bépo is typically included in Linux distros, but not the variant I prefer.

“OpenAI will try to guess”, as it always does.

MusicBee is one of the programs I miss the most. My son told me he still runs it through Wine with some fiddling so it seems possible. Personally I’ve settled on Lollypop. I’m not in love with it; it’s fine. It’s quite minimalist… maybe too much for some. I use Puddletags for editing tags and Syncthing to sync music from my PC to my phone.

“With these changing times, we do feel the need to update our format and create games that would be more widely playable, not just within the JRPG realm, but something that would be easier, more accessible for a wider audience. We’re hoping to update our format with that in mind,” [Katsura Hashino] admits.

Time and again the most successful and praised games have been fucking hard; time and again the directors come up with the plan of dumbing down their games to adapt to “changing times”. This is the year of Expedition 33 and Silksong, how can someone come up with the conclusion that gamers don’t care for RPGs and hard games?

Considering in absolute numbers the monthly active Linux users is around 4,725,600 I trust you haven’t skewed them too sharply.

I hear you. I’m not crazy about it either. I use it at work and I get the point: it’s awkward to make CSS respect the encapsulation of component-based reactive frameworks like Vue or React. Tailwind alleviates that. On the other hand the actual HTML/CSS produced is disregarded by all measures except size maybe. It’s yet another layer of abstraction and its necessity is debatable at best.

Oh…an actually human response. How refreshing. At least one person here got their rabies shot.

The answer you seek is literally the post.

You have basically two options: treat HTML as a string or parse it then process it with higher level DOM features.

The problem with the second approach is that HTML may look like an XML dialect but it is actually immensely quirky and tolerant. Moreover the modern web page is crazy bloated, so mass processing pages might be surprisingly demanding. And in the end you still need to do custom code to grab the data you’re after.

On the other hand string searching is as lightweight as it gets and you typically don’t really need to care about document structure as a scraper anyways.

I use syncthing to sync music, notes and pictures between my phone and my PC. It’s ridiculously efficient and it feels like using your devices’ networking features in a reasonable way at last. It’s so simple and feels so good. I fucking love it.

They’re gonna tell not to parse HTML with regular expressions. Heed this warning, and do it anyways.

Time magazine going hard making clear on which side of the class war they stand.

TLDR: Valve ex employee makes up excuses about Steam discovery sucking. Main point being it’s not Steam’s job to make games discoverable, and that even if it were people only hear about new games on social media so it’s pointless to try. Humble brags about trying. Post title is tangential at best.

Instead of meters, your body tells you what’s going on: a growling stomach that might attract wildlife, blurred vision when exhaustion kicks in, and senses warping when stress rises. Our goal is for the world to feel immersive, not overwhelming; a mix of atmospheric exploration and smart decision-making.

“Gee I’m so tired of games that convey information clearly” said no gamer EVER. Also this sounds like a negative feedback loop as the danger screen effect makes it even harder to get out of trouble. That obnoxious beep-beep from the original Zelda when you’ve got very little hearts left comes to my mind.

This is an NPM package. I really wish the dev would find it in them to host a little demo page someplace.

And they’ll get AIs to scrape that shit too. And train on it so they can spew higher order nonsense. And so on.

I love how diverse the Linux distros breakdown is. SteamOS of course, but also Arch, Mint, CachyOS, Bazzite and so on. Choice. And because this is open source software work done by one community potentially helps all others. It’s fucking beautiful 🥲

Congrats on switching to Linux! There’s a lot to learn, but this also means you get control. Furthermore, what you learn is very likely to be useful for a very long time. If you still feel intimidated by the Unix command line I strongly recommend addressing that asap. It’s where the magic happens when things go wrong. It can become a super power as well in terms of automating tasks and customization. Look for guides in the format you prefer and most importantly play around with what you learn.

As for your immediate need with the Bluetooth keyboard… OK for real I’m writing this right now from a living room TV Linux (Mint) PC and I’ve ditched my previous Bluetooth keyboard for a keyboard with a 2.4ghz USB dongle. I’ve had sporadic issues with Bluetooth on Windows in the past, I’ve had less (but not none) on Linux, and I just feel keyboard/mouse are devices that are too critical to pass through Bluetooth. Wireless USB is just so much more stable. Furthermore if/when you’ll want to log into you UEFI/BIOS it’ll be really awkward because such a basic environment has no Bluetooth. I understand this may be of little help if you’ve got a keyboard you love.
