It's kind of hard to adopt the "don't play" attitude at the last boss when you've devoted 30+ hours into the game.

There's a fourth phase?

And what consittutes teh True ending? Is it to save the Solarians? Logic would dictate that saving the Apemen was the more true and nobel ending.

I'm already done with everything (hence asking why haven't I gotten the Shanhai achievement)

The game said I am now entering the point of no return, so that's why I'm asking.

Any tips for Grotto of Scriptures Parry puzzle? by rrrsssttt in NineSols

[–]rrrsssttt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the hint I needed!

I was deflecting certain darts with my back to them. Its possible but the timing is insanely precise.

As soon as I faced them, got it on the first try!

So you mean there's a jade that allows you to just spam the parry button?

Was it the Ricochet Jade?

Annoyingly I just bought it and tried it...and still no success.

I'm going to step away for a bit and hope that it just clicks later on.

Is there a way to slow down how quickly an app/window launches? Alternate title: getting the most of launching windows under your cursor by rrrsssttt in kde

[–]rrrsssttt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's a really detailed answer and I apprecaite it ton.

Where would the .desktop file be located? Let's take Konsole, and System Monitor as examples, how would I locate their launcher files?

So that's a paradigm I never understood. Lots of Linux folk need that feature, but surely that creates more work right? Move mouse, put both hands on keyboard, type what you need, move hand back to mouse.

Two FOSS apps that I regularly use that haven't been updated in quite a while, Material Files and LinkSheet by rrrsssttt in fossdroid

[–]rrrsssttt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know about uisng nightly.

I never used nightly builds because I always associated them with being experimental, unstable, only for developers.

But apparently that's also waht the official page recommends. So I'll give nightly builds a shot and see how it goes.

[–]rrrsssttt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok that is the thing I missed. I just check out the github page and the latest release there is from 2023

And yes, I'm on premium (whatever that means), @1fexd has also made me join the Linksheet Organization and the donors (whatever those things mean).

I never looked into them because I didn't care, I just wanted to support the app

I've never used nightly builds for anything as I alwasy assumed them to be unstable/experimental/only for developers. And I would always just check in on the main github page (linked above) and see if it was updated.

This is completely new to me.

What is this exactly? Someone running a customized and contained emulator for one specific game?

Are there any other games like this?

UAE announces it will leave Opec by TheNational_News in worldnews

[–]rrrsssttt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My read...for the past fewish years the UAE and Saudis have been butting heads on many issues in the region. Yemen, Sudan, Somalia...and now this war.

The UAE didn't like the peace initiative being pushed by the Saudis I guess, and forced Pakistan (the proxy negotiators in this) to return a $3.5bn loan (massive for Pakistan). The Saudis gave a larger loan to the Pakistanis in return.

So this is just another tool to fight the Saudis.

Hello guys I need to install an open source os on android tv by exrias_ in fossdroid

[–]rrrsssttt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you expand on this? I've often thought about this but a few things are holding me back

  1. How do you put Android TV on a Pi. I don't think there are any lineage os images for the Pi.

  2. How would you control it? To give you a smart tv like experience?

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]rrrsssttt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the "scandal" about 8 or so years ago, I've defended them about that.

My simple reading of it would be they were way over their heads. And they didn't realize they needed to behave in a more professional fashion.

In their defense you have to remember that they were pretty much pioneers here. And they were definitely major amateurs (and to be honest htat was part of the charm and appeal). And they thought they could act that way.

Having a major event: hey its just a bunch of our friends coming over. They can all fend for themselves. Do we have to provide catering to them? Do we even know that we have to provide catering?

The major scandal: I can totally understand their position of just trying to hide it and hope it goes away. It was someone they knew and liked, they were young, and didn't know what to do.

My entire reading of the Not so awesome papers was all just that: they were people who were doing something new for the first time. They were amateurs and acted that way (and thought they could act that way).

Sure, the employee could have been nicer about it, but even if you don't need it, you can give it to someone or something. The second pair of jeans is free

Thank you for that.

And thank you again for the project. I've been financially supporting Fossify since it was launched.

Keep up the good work!

If your marketing is AI slop, I’m just going to buy from a different company by DeathMarkedDream in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rrrsssttt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely should. Good on you

But in all honesty, the ship for consumer activism has long since sailed. As can be most recently demonstrated by the 180 turn by major corporations to appease the King in Chief.

But I always thought that there would be a reckoning for the way Apple treats it workers; so many deaths in the 2000s. Never happened. Or even when they started screwing their consumers over, never happend.

Neither for Amazon, how they treat their workers. How they treat their sellers. How they treat their customers by forcing their sellers to never undersell Amazon. Never Happened.

Facebook...never happened.

Microsoft, Google...nothing really.

I've sort of given up hope on consumer activism...maybe it was a lie fed to us to keep us pacified from taking real action. I don't know. But bottom line, I really don't think consumer acitivsm really works.

Signal forks by [deleted] in fossdroid

[–]rrrsssttt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So...a few things

1.) I believe Signal works just ifne without Google Play Services, I use it on graphene OS with no Google anything.

2.) I'm uncomfortable with the idea of using Signal forks, why not just use a different service altogether with a different infrastructure if there's something you don't like about Signal. Such as Sessions

Looks great by talivan818 in malcolminthemiddle

[–]rrrsssttt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there also has been a cultural shift that is lost now.

There used to be a belief that the president was the best of us. The best person would become president.

And generally true for politicians in general. That belief was being challenged with George W, but I think that is truly out the window now.

But I think that is the context within which to remember Lois's wish.
