pacman would allow me to install weak dependencies with a simple command-line option rather than black magic wizardry that rivals ffmpeg filtergraphs.

What I want to do is install all of these Optional Dependencies that are part of the wine-staging package without specifying every one of them:

<span style="color:#323232;">Optional Deps   : giflib

–asdeps doesn’t seem to do that. apt has –install-recommended, I think, or something similar. And for all the bad things I could say about apt, that’s a nice feature.

In this case, many of these dependencies are required for a lot of games to work properly in Wine. Dosbox is used as an emulation tool. I don’t know of another package manager that doesn’t give you an option to install all of the optional dependencies.

I don’t think Signal is interested in doing that.

The concerns about AWS servers are around metadata. If metadata were not a concern, why not just use Whatsapp? They use the Signal protocol so messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, and most people already have it or are willing to download it as compared to Signal.

That seems like the wrong place to link to. Shouldn’t you be linking to Sealed Sender?

I somehow missed A YEAR OF SPRINGS, which is a fantastic visual novel by npckc. It’s discounted by 29%.

I must admit I only looked at the pictures, looked at the specs, and looked at the reviews. I didn’t read the description at all before I posted this. After reading it, I can see how it could be seen as exploitative:

“Ms.Izuho…What does it feel like to be in love?” Konami Izuho was suddenly kissed during her teaching training internship by a student, Ema Serizawa, when they were alone in the classroom.

Konami later found out that this student happened to be the popular illustrator “Ema”, of whom she was a huge fan. On top of that, Ema would soon ask her, “can you help me with my drawings?”

Although Konami thought she would get to look at the new works of her favorite illustrator, what Ema asked from her was quite different. Kissing, bathing together, and sleeping in the same bed were just some of Ema’s requests that left Konami’s heart pounding.

“Huh? Help…means k-kissing or sleeping together?”

Konami’s encounters with Ema confused her and made her go back and forth between feelings of admiration and love. Now, the curtain will be raised on this Romantic Drama.

I can’t find any mention of ages, but it seems to be set in a high school, so one of the characters, in the best case, is 18 years old. The student teacher is probably somewhere between 19-21 years old. It’s common for visual novels to be set in high school and feature sex scenes between teenagers (though there are plenty of great VNs that aren’t), but there is a power imbalance here not usually seen in those games, even if the age gap is small.

I second Neo by saying that if you have an issue with the content of the game, you should contact GOG about it. MangaGamer and itch.io also carry this game. For now, I’ve marked the post as NSFW, as the GOG page does have some suggestive pictures.

👀 An easy way to buy Fate in Japanese, and not tied to the Switch like the Tsukihime remake.

I’ll add it to my wishlist once it gets a page on Steam. Hopefully it’s cheaper than WITCH ON THE HOLY NIGHT…

I can hope…

I don’t disagree, but this video is absolutely worth the watch. I’ve read a fair bit on X history but there’s a lot in here I didn’t know specifics of or didn’t know about at all.

Here’s why.

Because I like the 2-clause BSD license. I am not a fan of “copyleft” or forcing obligations on people in general. I want my software to be available for anyone who wants to use it.

This news is notable because a mainstream proprietary software publisher has chosen to officially distribute using Flathub. I couldn’t care less about Discord, but it says a lot about Flathub’s mindshare. Proprietary publishers tend to pick AppImage, but this is the first publisher I know of that has chosen Flathub instead. It will be interesting to see if this becomes a trend.

That being said, Cassidy obviously had a very active hand in convincing Discord to adopt the Flatpak package.

This post seems to link to this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK90cfu98Mw

At least on the desktop website, I can’t see a link in this post. I’ve been caught out by this before too—if you make a post with a link but also upload an image, it will replace your link with a direct link to the image.
