Well for the sake of context Mineclonia is a fork of Mineclone2, which has now rebranded itself as VoxeLibre. The project was forked due to personal and design disputes. In fact the most productive developer of Mineclonia, used to be the lead dev of mcl2.

Currently VoxeLibre maintains the continuity of the original project and the community which explains its higher popularity. Mineclonia by comparison has very little presence, the discord server was set up like a couple of months ago I think.

But in terms of code, mineclonia has been the faster evolving of the two. More features, more bug fixes, and advances from voxelibre that are deemed valuable are cherry picked. In terms of specific features, I really prefer the double digging depth, and the better villages. And voxelibre has significantly shortened the attack range which I find really annoying.

Other than that, mineclonia is more commited to being a true clone of minecraft, with voxelibre going out of its way to diverge, especially after the rebrand, which might turn out to be wise if microsoft's trademark lawyers come knocking.

Nope, you can just use these mods for the time being.
On the flip side, it's orders of magnitude easier to write a Minetest mod, and keep it updated with later versions and compatible with other mods.

Friendly, and unsolicited reminder that the Minetest engine + its game Mineclonia (or alternatively Voxelibre) are a pretty good open source alternative as of late.
Minetest is also getting some pretty nice upgrades to its graphics lately. The upcoming release should be looking quite pretty.

Here's a tip for YouTube, than might come in handy.
In videos that have subtitles available, you can go to the bottom of the description and hit the Show Transcript button. It opens the transcript on the right, and you can search in it. The negatives are that it's not always available, and when it is, and it's automatically generated, it might be inaccurate/misspelled, especially for niche technical terms.

Just figured out yesterday that OpenBoard is abandoned and jumped over to Heliboard, thanks to the announcement for 1.0 in this community. The top comment mentioning FUTO Voice Input, was also a great find.
The only annoying part is that I now have to retrain my recommendations for HB, since OB unlike HB, offers no way to extract your settings, and I found no method to access the settings files in newer Android. Thankfully, since HB offers import/export, it will be the last time.

What? EEVEE is evolving!
EEVEE evolved into RAYTHEON!

Downside of making them so stealthy? Have they checked between the cracks of the couch?

Don't forget your handkerchief

I got a Kingston SSD once ( yes I should have known better) that kept freezing my laptop which needed to be restarted. I couldn't narrow it down and put up with it for an embarrassingly long time, until while looking for unrelated stuff I found out that the firmware version was associated with freezes. And then I found out that it was basically impossible to upgrade it, even on windows. After many hours, I was almost ready to give up, until I found some random Russian video (which I don't speak) that used some ancient version of their shity firmware updater that you could only find in sketchy forums and software sites that could actually upgrade the firmware to a non-crashy version. I think it still freezes, but it's orders of magnitude rarer.

Long story short, Kingston, not even once.

Sadly, if you are using Linux and want your firmware updates for your SSD through the proper native channels, Samsung was the only option last time I checked. Crucial used to have a half-assed solution that they abandoned recently.

The grain makes it look like he was using some ray tracing algorithm he had secretly developed, but he hadn't figured out denoising yet.

My contribution to the discussion is that the Greek phrase for "(in) my ass", if said in a hasty/hillbilly way, sounds pretty similar to Gollum. Might even call in to question the true nationality of this game's visionary inventor.

Ah yes, China's and India's rivalry over supremacy over East Asia wasn't enough. Now they can have KSA and Iran fighting over the Middle East, plus Egypt and Ethiopia ready to go to war over a dam, under the same banner. I guess if half the members of a consortium want to murder the other half it balances out?

If you think this is anything new you should look up who coincidentally invented the autopilot for airplanes and the mile high club.

It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.

He shouldn't have gone looking for that 216 digit number again.

The animal yes, the GNU's Not Unix no. Same goes for GNOME and all derivative words.

Yes, and building. I've set it up to activate with out of the back paddles. Can't live without it.

As far as I know the greek keyboard layout is based on the US style alignment, with the characters swapped. The Greek alphabet has fewer characters than Latin after all. The standard quick way to change the input in Windows, and the one I'm using in Ubuntu is hitting Alt+Shift. Spelling Linux phonetically would be Λίνουξ.

I use them in games that need precise aiming (hello Valheim) along with the gyro, as well as mouse based games. Also they're great for binding a bunch of extra buttons that you don't use that often, and they make the desktop experience much smoother if you don't have m/kb around.
I understand that having them is a compromise, so the rest of the controls end up more cramped, but at least for me it's well worth it. I wouldn't consider a different handheld pc, or a Steam Deck 2 without them now.

Android is at 52%, desktop linux at 4% if you count desktop + mobile.

It says desktop in the image, I assume if it counted android it would be over 50% since apple is not as popular here.

I had noticed that we've been pretty high on global statistics for years, but hadn't seen anyone point it out.
Και το βλέπεις και στη πράξη, οι linuxάδες δεν είναι σπάνιοι, και όταν μιλάς σε τεχνικούς/support δεν σε κοιτάνε σαν εξωγήινο αν ακούσουν για Linux.

Two of them died*. The second one happened to have some good connections with the higher ups.

Thank you for your sacrifice. If I ever had a hint of an inclination to disregard the common wisdom and try reddit's official app, now it's permanently gone.

You fell ...

If you have cloud storage available, either by a company or self-hosted, you can look into Ludusavi and OpenCloudSaves, both open source and using the same savegame path database.

Ludusavi is more mature with more features.

OpenCloudSaves aims to target better usability with the Deck specifically.

Fight for us and regain your honor. What say you?

The entire king of the dead scene kinda fits.

/c/lostlemmings? This is a community for Wine the software, not the alcoholic beverage.

Recently finished outer wilds on the deck, and now I'm working through the dlc. If you're hooked, you are in for a ride. My advice is don't look at walkthroughs if you have the patience. Sometimes if you stare at the problem for long enough it might just solve itself. ;)

As much as I like to use steam streaming for how straightforward it is, this is one of the issues you'll get for seemingly no reason. The things I can recommend is trying the separate steam link software that should be in the discover store, or keep in mind that there might be issues with hardware acceleration or with the beta client. If tinkering with these doesn't fix it, I would also wholeheartedly recommend sunshine/moonlight. Takes some effort to set up (some extra effort if streaming from nvidia on Linux and want hardware acceleration for example) but when it works, it works wonders. Much smoother especially on WiFi.
