  • I convinced myself that manjaro is less stable than fedora. But not completely. It depends on the device and what is installed on it.

    For some reason, I was able to run Manjaro on my hp laptop without issues for a long time. However my brother on his Lenovo laptop, the manjaro update just killed itself after 2 months. And this always after some months the updater would not work anymore.

    I then installed Fedora on his laptop, and damn that thing stayed up and running for 2y now. Even after major system update, never broke, and package install always worked, at least when the tutorials are up to date on special things.

    Like installing video codecs, I had to do another command which was not mentioned on the fedora docs, in order to switch from ffmpeg libre to ffmpeg. And then the rest of the install commands would work.


  • I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

    It’s the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

    Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

    Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

    The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

    The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

    The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn’t very punishing. The respawn points aren’t too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

    There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

    But overall these little issues aren’t that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.

    And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

    There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn’t tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it’s a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

  • Currently florisboard doesn’t have prediction nor autocorrect prediction.

    Due to complications in the development of that feature (either too heavy to run or not smart enough for prediction…) and the development of the app got stuck, until maybe recently where it seems to get some dev attraction on some topics.

    Tho the prediction is still stuck. So you won’t have yet prediction or smart things in this keyboard.



  • I find Lemmy works pretty well for a decentralised network.

    It is possible to see what everyone has been subscribed to when sorting by all, and so subscribe myself to it to get it in my subscription feed.

    There are nice apps like Liftoff which can manage multiple accounts at the same time, and even view instances all feed without an account on them.

    Mastodon on the other hand is a bit lackluster in comparison I’d say. The subscription model is pretty had to start using as I need to either find # or people to subscribe to, and even subscribing to them. And even after doing that the posts aren’t that interesting or feel empty due to no comments/likes/boost.

    Maybe I subscribed to the wrong #, but I find Lemmy much more enticing than mastodon.
