Thanks for linking that community.

On top of you advice: IMO if the tap water is safe for drinking, use that and don't buy bottled water at all. No need to add to the plastic problem. Also: it's usually cheaper.

This hair product remains effective up to 230 degrees C which is really handy because when I'm exposed to ovenlike temperatures, my first thought is "Oh no, my hair!" in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Just posted the article. Why not be constructive and post something more informative?

You either spend your life really well or you have way too much time on your hands.

Either way I read your post with happy curiosity. 🙂

Well, I completely disagree! Taking things seriously is the only way to have meaningful conversations. If we don’t challenge each other’s views, how will we ever grow and learn? We need the "battleground of ideas"!

Homeworld 3 creators pull Denuvo DRM from controversial space strategy game in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

One if my saddest game related moments this year: The release of Homeworld 3.

This video sums it all up well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuonl50R6Eo

Allow me to do this one more time:

sigh

RIP Homeworld 3... you could have been amazing.

How would you rank the DLCs? Is there a huge difference in your ranking when rating multiplayer or single player?

I love Vivaldi. Am sad it's Chromium. Wish Firefox would take a page out of Vivaldi's features book and innovation approach.

YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world
[–] original_reader@lemm.ee 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Fair. Just that the selection of quality games is rather limited.

IMO monetisation is fine, after all we all need to earn a living. To goad people into spending money is the issue. Enter dark patterns.

A one-off purchase after testing the first level? Awesome! Wait a few hours - or days - for a building to finish? Watch a deceptive ad for a meager reward over and over? No, thanks.

You misspelled Neovim. An understandable mistake.

A trip down memory lane.

It also was the song used as an audio template for the mp3 format.

Should I get started with the Classic or the Steam version? What are the pros and cons of both versions?

In other words: What’s a hidden gem I probably haven’t seen but totally should? And why is it a must-watch?

There are those that help us relax, chill, and unwind.

Is there a Windows 10 inspired launch menu? (lemm.ee)

I’m looking for a launch menu that has similar functionality as the Windows 10 Start Menu. While I don’t think Windows is the pinnacle of OS development, I did find the "Start" menu quite useful in organizing my apps by task group and importance. Specifically, I’m interested in the following features:

  • The ability to resize the menu.
  • The option to create my own application layout in named groups.
  • The capability to create folders with applications.
  • Optionally, the ability to resize various application tiles.

The Cinnamenu applet for Cinnamon comes somewhat close, but it isn't quite it. Does anyone know of an app, a DE or anything else on Linux that offers these features?

What could be done to make PeerTube more popular? (joinpeertube.org)

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

How do I launch the Profile Manager of Flatpak Firefox with Gnome 3? (lemm.ee)
 

I would like the Firefox profile manager to open when I run Firefox from the GNOME 3 menu, be it the DashBar or the native menu. I installed Firefox using Flatpak.

I know that I can run it from the terminal with flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p. But how do I modify the .desktop file? I guess it is the one in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop? I tried replacing the line

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox --file-forwarding org.mozilla.firefox @@u %u @@

with

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=firefox org.mozilla.firefox --ProfileManager

but I cannot save the document because of "too many symbolic links".

What is the secret?

I really wish Firefox would simply offer this as an option in its settings.

It's in the eye of the beholder, of course. But it would be great to see some solid recommendations.
