The cool thing about Kagi is, that, while it also offers a ton of really good LLM features, those are all optional, and the user can configure them for their account.
If one just wants web search, one can set all LLM features to disabled by default - such that they are hidden behind buttons. If one wants to have certain LLM features enabled by default, that’s possible too.
In other words, you get exactly the experience you want.
This LLM tech must be amazing, given companies have to shove it down people’s throats to even get users for it.
I don’t have much time for gaming lately, but I found a couple of minutes this weekend to try out Gnomes.
From what I have seen, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Bought it, but never played it. It’s still in its plastic wrapping, sitting on my shelf, taunting me, quietly whispering “pile of shame” every time I walk by.
Do yourself a favour and don’t buy the TP-Link ones though. I have TP-Link powerline adapters too, and they kept losing the connection over time. I later switched to FRITZ! and those have been working perfectly fine for years.
That said, the powerline solution only works well if both devices are on the same phase.
Isn’t Sailfish OS already pretty much “a Linux phone that works”?
I hadn’t made that connection, but now that you mention it, the art style and gameplay definitely have that tone.
This one is definitely a hidden gem.
The game design is simple, and there are just a hand full of game mechanics. However, those mechanics tie into each other very well, and the main challenge - having limited knowledge of where the oil might be, and having to invest money to look for more - remains fun for a long time.
I keep coming back to Turmoil whenever I stumble across it in my games folder.
Someday I have to replay the trilogy. All four parts.
The games are great - though there are two things that urk me. For one, the player character, Rufus, is just unbearable. The other point of critique is the depiction and role of Goal, who, in the first game, is basically the personified damsel-in-distress trope. In the other parts she gets a bit of agency, but she is still frequently portrayed as the victim who needs help. Mostly the victim of Rufus’ carelessness and lack of empathy, by the way (did I mention he is unbearable?). What Rufus causes her to suffer through in the second game, while not sexual, feels really rape-y, and since Rufus is the player character, it hurts having to do this to progress the story. Actually, that is true for most of the things Rufus does - and therefore the player has to do. It is pretty clear that a character will be worse off afterwards, but one has to do it nevertheless. And this repeats again, and again, and again.
Okay, seems I’ve written myself into rage. This sounds way more negative than the games actually are. In fact, they are really funny, as long as you manage to accept that you play as a less-than-likeable anti-hero. It’s a bit like Untitled Goose Game, though the consequences of Rufus’ actions tend to be much worse. Still, if you want to have fun with Deponia, you need to approach it with the same mindset: Lighthearted fun, usually at the (sometimes severe) costs of an NPC.
I finally printed something again yesterday, and, as far as I can tell, the z-positioning was perfectly stable thanks to your suggestion.
Thanks a lot!
Never tried this - wouldn’t all users control a single cursor in this case?
There was a similar question some time ago, so I think it’s worth linking it: https://lemmy.world/post/19546682
Also, check my answer there for a solution that does not rely on a launcher: https://lemmy.world/post/19546682/12260141
I think you have done way more work than would be needed to learn Rust. I mean, it certainly is useful knowledge if you want to do any of those things in Rust, but it’s definitely not needed to learn Rust.
The Book (the Rust language guide) assumes that you know some other language first, but you don’t need to be an expert in anything in order to start learning Rust. If you understand the basic concepts of branching, loops, recursion and function calls, you are good to go.
There are of course other concepts you will encounter in Rust (like Algebraic Data Types, Polymorphism, Ownership,…), but those are all explained in the Rust Book, so there really is no need to learn them in advance.
Also an “encrypted email host” needs to process the metadata in order to deliver the mail. For mail that needs to be sent to a different server, the receipient’s mail address needs to be decrypted in any case. Even for mail that has a local receipient there is as far as I know (beware: not an expert) no server software that can do this without decrypting the metadata first.
The connection between the sender/receipient and their respective mail server is encrypted (with any decent mail hoster, at least - and both users can check the encryption in their mail client), so the metadata isn’t publicly readable during this connection.
Server-to-server communication is a different story though… This could in theory be unencrypted (it almost always is encrypted though), and as a user one needs to trust one’s mail hoster and the mail hoster of the receipient that they support encryption for server-to-server messages…
Still, I don’t think there is much to gain by adding yet another layer of encryption to the metadata. In the end it’s just going to be encrypted metadata in an encrypted connection, where the same parties have decryption keys for both, the metadata encryption and the encrypted connection…
With an encrypted message body it’s different, as that’s irrelevant for the delivery of the mail, and therefore no mail hoster needs to be able to decrypt it.
The best part is the job opening…
Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to increase team efficiency and code quality
Probably the boss of the person who had to write the job opening demanded they include something about AI, and the person who wrote it decided to turn their sarcasm up to 100. The only way to make it more clear would have been sarcastic casing:
Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to InCrEaSe TeAm EfFiCiEnCy AnD cOdE qUaLiTy
Thanks, gonna do that first before I start my next print. This sounds like a really plausible cause!
Disclaimer first: I haven’t played docked ever since I moved to my current apartment, so for about 2 years.
So, for me playing docked was a mixed bag. The main issue was that upscaling from 720p to 1080p (my TV’s native resolution) never yielded a satisfactory image quality. This means, that I only played games docked, that were relatively light on the hardware.
Things that worked well were 2D games, obviously, and light 3D games, like Cassette Beasts or the space-part of Elite: Dangerous (landing in Elite was, of course a no-go at native 1080p).
I also had issues with my gamepad, a DualShock 4, interfering with the WLAN of the deck. If I remember correctly, that has been fixed by a Steam Deck update meanwhile.
I also had severe issues trying to stream from my desktop to the Deck. It hadn’t liked my desktop’s 16:10 aspect ratio. From what I can tell from the current Steam Link Android app, it seems this also has been fixed meanwhile.
For the games that worked fine, I have had a lot of fun playing docked though.
