[GVMERS] The Rise and Fall of Unreal Tournament in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Played UT4 at a few LAN parties circa 2015 - 2018.

Frustrating that they never went back to finish UT4 off after Fortnite BR turned in to a money printer. It felt so close to being ready.

But will she enable the option to create bookmarks from word headings? Surely no one ready for that.

identical environment.

if I tap out words, then they will appear as i hit each letter. if i use swipe, then i get no preview of the word, the word just appears after i lift off and touch another key.

very annoying, cant live without gesture/swipe typing.

People who wear glasses, what are some things someone new to glasses should know? in c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org

I too have mild astigmatism. I used glasses for about 4 years before trying contact lenses. Have been using contacts for 10 years now and i much prefer them.

The non removable Google search bar was one of the reasons I put Graphene on my pixel.

Installed GrapheneOS for the first time in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Ironically it was when the stock android upgrade on my pixel 7 completely bricked my phone (due to the multiple user profiles bug) that I decided to jump in to Graphene head first.

Compared to my experience running random ROMs on Samsungs back in the era of galaxy note 1 to 4, Graphene installer was so easy!

I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.

I fear they will go the other way, that is start locking down the pixels to make replacing their OS more difficult.

Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.

I'm sure if we keep voting for the Libor and Laberal parties they will eventually fix it right?

An Australian New Vehicle Efficiency Standard—Frequently asked question (www.infrastructure.gov.au)
 

Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.

Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.

No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.
