ATARI acquires INTELLIVISION brand (atari.com)

Atari® — one of the world’s most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — announced today it has purchased the Intellivision brand and certain games from Intellivision Entertainment LLC. Intellivision Entertainment LLC will rebrand and continue its business of developing and distributing the Amico...

caseyweederman,

Oh dang, they got Acclaimed?

caseyweederman,

Oh they wouldn’t stop at skin.

caseyweederman,

Fondant

caseyweederman,

OH
The shapes of the squiggles are meaningful

caseyweederman,

Yeah, it can’t run stuff compiled for ARM, right?
I hit a speed bump and I haven’t had time to fully investigate but I too would like to run games.

caseyweederman,

You need a custom kernel, or a kernel module plus DKMS and kernel headers for your current kernel.
You also need the package that handles whatever filesystem they use for their containers.
Then, you need to be running it on Wayland or else it doesn’t work.
The part that I’m stuck on is running games, which gives an error about not being able to find libmain.so, which might be an architecture mismatch problem. Maybe I can virtualize that part? But at that point I might as well just buy a phone.

caseyweederman,

I admire your optimism but some governments are still using floppy disks.

caseyweederman,

Ooh, thank you. I’ll try that tonight.

caseyweederman,

It worked! But the menus are bugging out in the game itself so I’ll need to tinker some more I guess.

caseyweederman,

Okay now please ELI1

caseyweederman,

A Supergiant game in Early Access is more finished than most fully-released triple-A titles.
Plus, as with the first Hades, they work the continued development into the narrative of the game.

caseyweederman,

Ok but please explain subvolumes, the information has failed to latch onto my brain

caseyweederman,

If I’m trying to install Linux with BTRFS, and it doesn’t work, what are some of the most likely mistakes I’ve made?

caseyweederman,

I’ve used Gnome for a very long time but tried out Plasma 6.0 soon after it came out, and I’m very impressed.
I might switch back to Gnome some day, but KDE just keeps growing on me.
The seamless clipboard sharing feature between mobile and laptop is really cool, and that was just an unexpected bonus attached to a whole set of cool features. And everything feels cohesive in a way that I’m not used to.

caseyweederman,

That’s possible. I went very many years without even hearing about that, and I found KDE Connect and had it up and fully operational on day one.

Hey uh can I get your IP address real quick? I have a strong suspicion your philosophy extends to your network ports.

I spent eight rounds failing to reload my gun and died to the first rat

caseyweederman,

If a Nintendo console was comparable to other consoles in the same generation, would the games be more fun?
If not, then what’s the point? Many SNES games are more fun than the vast majority of technically superior games out this year.
“They should make the graphics better so… that… the graphics would be better” isn’t a super compelling argument.
My question is “what’s going to make me stop playing my games on the Switch and play them on this instead”.
My concern is that this is going to end up causing library fragmentation like the WiiU and the New 3DS. The Game Boy Color added color to its predecessor, the New 3DS added… slightly faster polygon calculations? I don’t even know. Some games required the better processor but I couldn’t tell you what they did with it. Maybe they just got away with worse optimization.

caseyweederman,

My tortie is also annoyed at you:

caseyweederman,

There’s no way to install a snap except through Canonical’s snap store (or snap store proxy, which gets them from Canonical’s snap store).
They’re charging for kernel security live patches. They charge for LTS. If they get enough buy-in re: snaps, they’re going to do the only thing a for-profit company can do.

caseyweederman,

Are you under the impression that they write all the patches?

caseyweederman,

Punk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.

caseyweederman,

Punk, like 80s punk? Safety pin piercings, jackets with the arms torn off, covered in handsewn patches, egg-white hair glue?

caseyweederman,

Hmm does chroot sidestep login? Or could you mount it from the usb’s filesystem?

caseyweederman,

We need to go deeper
Just bare kernel, nothing else

caseyweederman,

I don’t think Valve is rolling it though, I’m pretty sure they do feature freezes for stability.

caseyweederman,

I’m also interested in this. I’m guessing you’d have to essentially have multiple overlapping sets of policies.
Ansible does some of each.

caseyweederman,

I mean >.>

caseyweederman,

I just learned git bisect from https://ohmygit.org/! You run it, then checkout other commits all over the project, and mark them with git bisect good or git bisect bad. Then it paints all commits that led to the good one as good, and all the ones after the bad one as bad, so you just keep narrowing your window by playing checkout Jezzball until there’s only one commit left: the one that introduced the bad state.

caseyweederman,

Yeah but I didn’t know that term until I looked it up. Also OhMyGit didn’t cover using tests and automating it.

caseyweederman,

Agh! I just today switched from Zellij to Byobu.
It was for the cool system monitor status bar. And drag-resize panes.
But you can win me back with floating panes that don’t disappear when I click on panes behind them! And a way to detach ghost sessions.
Multi-modifier keyboard shortcuts would go a long way too. I should have checked the changelog before starting to write this post.
There’s a lot that I really like about Zellij. Session focus indicators, stylish border characters, panes and tabs. It’s very classy.

caseyweederman,

Zellij and Byobu? Byobu is less pretty but more functional, probably because it’s a front-end for existing mature technologies (screen/tmux). I’ve seen it described as more or less just a list of presets for tmux, so presumably you could get the same effect by spending a few hours customizing base tmux.
Zellij feels new and hip (special fonts for pretty borders and buttons) but some aspects don’t feel quite finished (like how it’s missing multiple modifier keys to avoid keyboard shortcut collisions, how it’s not in major distribution repositories, no drag-resize panes (that I’ve found, at least)). It feels inevitable that Zellij is going to overtake the incumbent multiplexers and soon but for the moment I just really wanted that system monitor status bar.
Both have panes, tabs, sessions, degrees of gpm functionality. Zellij has the other-user-focus indicator, Byobu has the status bar and renamable tabs. Byobu will automatically reattach if a session is found, Zellij needs a few lines in .bashrc first. Both can save and load layouts but Zellij needs you to write the layout to a kdl file somewhere while Byobu can do it with one keypress (not sure if that survives across sessions though). I get the impression that permanent config in Zellij requires more manual config file manipulation, which isn’t necessarily a negative, but feels more like having to learn a new programming language for something you’ll set up once and then immediately forget about.
Both have more pros than cons and I’m sure I’ll continue bouncing back and forth as I refine my understanding and opinions.

A quick thought experiment for how I think Zellij could close the distance:
Preset layouts, or community layouts that are easily shared
Live system resource monitor status bar (I spent weirdly long looking for a single-row live terminal resource monitor that I could just set up in its own pane and just couldn’t find one)
Of course, being able to bind multiple hotkey modifiers, though I’ve read on the github issue that that’s not necessarily a trivial feature)
More mouse functionality (though I might be in the minority there, haha)
Maybe a TUI interface for setting config items

Looking at this list, it’s really just a bunch of things that would suit my own personal workflow, haha.

caseyweederman,

Try them both! Let me know if you have a different experience.

caseyweederman,

That’s good to hear!
I just tried Byobu in Konsole on Plasma 6, and it did not go well, so I can definitely see why your impression wouldn’t be great.
I’ve not watched their videos, and originally found it really easy to work through the keyboard shortcuts, but some combination of KDE and Konsole just eats up all the key combinations. If this was my first experience, I would have bounced off immediately.

caseyweederman,

We’re getting a Magi Nation revival too. It’s a good year.

caseyweederman,

Oh you’ve met my cousin

caseyweederman,

sha256 I said it

I miss Dragalia Lost
I should see what the community servers are up to
