Microsoft's latest Windows update breaks VPNs, and there's no fix by zaemz in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah, you're not wrong that the article kinda sets itself up for the "lookit our recommended VPNs" pitch.

There's no way Microsoft would purposefully disable VPNs from working. I can guarantee that they require VPNs for thousands of roles in the company, let alone breaking it for government agencies that require VPNs, etc.

It is good to know that a specific update can break something ahead of time, though. Then at least you can avoid it.

There are some decent spinoffs, at least!

Angels Fall First is a combined-arms, sci-fi wargame that first released in 2015. After 2 years, the small team behind the game has released Update 29 containing a huge amount of additions, improvements, balance tweaks, and a butt-ton more. They admit that this is a massive update, and there are likely bugs and tweaks that still need to happen, and Update 30 is planned, alongside the game's 1.0 release from Early Access.

Here's the Steam store page description:

From commanding the battle standing on the bridge of your flagship all the way down to tactical infantry firefights - AFF brings together all the combat you ever wanted in a rich science fiction setting. Boarding, pilotable capital ships, deep weapon customization and full AI support included! ... AFF focuses on team-oriented tactical gameplay and objective-based scenarios with a high degree of replayability....

I've been playing it for a while, on-and-off for the past few years. It's honestly a super fun game and I recommend it if you're into games like Tie Fighter/X-Wing, Battlefield, and Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefront 2!

The community's remained rather small and the devs know most people play against the bots, so they've improved the AI a ton. I'd personally love to get a crew together to play, so if anyone else is interested, maybe we can schedule an event or something?

I've been watching some streams of it and Chrono Trigger was absolutely what came to mind for me. The art is gorgeous and the music is awesome too. Game's got good vibes for sure.

I've got all of these League spinoff games wishlisted, they look great. I've always liked League of Legends' presentation and after the show became even more interested in the lore.

Does anyone have experience with them? Is there one in particular that stands above the others? I know they're relatively varied in their genres so it's rather subjective to say.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide is adding RPG-style skill trees full of new abilities to its 4 classes by zaemz in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Hell yeah! I really enjoyed the game, but the lack of variety just had it kinda fizzle out for me after a short time. This is awesome.

New 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard inspired by NES and Famicom by zaemz in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

10-keyless keyboards are (kinda unfortunately IMO) popular with the custom keyboard crowd. I'm actually a little surprised that it's not available in an even smaller form-factor.

Let's fgooooo. I'm playing this master piece in Lemuroid now by zaemz in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] zaemz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

This game is amazing. One of my first obsessions, I used to just play it to explore the environments and listen to the music in the different areas.

There are configuration files for dnf in /etc/dnf/protected.d that might have gnome-shell listed. Check that directory for a file called gnome-shell.conf. If there is, you can simply rm it and try removing gnome-shell again.

Be aware that there might be packages you have installed that depend on gnome-shell, so be sure to double check the list of dependent packages that will also be removed.

Help I thought cleaning out my closet was a fun and exciting idea 6 hours ago and now I can't walk in my room by zaemz in c/adhd@lemmy.world

That sounds about right, haha! I've done the same, and then found myself in the attic trying to draw more Ethernet.

Beehaw* defederated us? by zaemz in c/main@sh.itjust.works

I think this is actually a great way to use the fediverse. At least from what I understand, a major principle of the fediverse is to give instances the freedom to build their communities in a way that fits the creators' visions.

I was just thinking that it'd be interesting to see a whole Lemmy instance dedicated to one community, and here it is!
