Please note that I wasn’t passing judgement with my comment, I’m just stating that it will happen with pretty much all Linux distributions.

For example, when upgrading major Debian versions, the same will happen - but you’ll usually get thrown into a full screen TUI with interactive buttons asking you how to proceed. So it isn’t really possible to leave the system in a non-functional state.

Definitely check out a different, stability first distro. However, note that you will then have the problem of software being old when you want a new feature!

New optional dependencies also happen in other distributions, just happens a lot less as they aren’t rolling release distributions.

Learning to parse terminal output for what’s relevant is a good and sometimes necessary skill.

I’ve been using arch for almost a decade, and haven’t had the system break.

I also don’t use aur helpers as I don’t like or trust them - I do tend to read PKGBUILDs before using them.

Still shocked that OP thought a new opt-depends was “lost in pages and pages of changelogs”.

Not trolling at all. I’m a game developer, so I was curious to hear about instances of game devs using kernel level anticheat to harvest people’s personal (and identifiable) data to sell to data brokers.

Glad to know there aren’t any examples of it outside of people screaming about capitalism - which is, let’s be honest, quite indicative of the Lemmy experience these days.

So by that logic we shouldn’t be downloading any precompiled binaries from the net - they could all be spying on us!

Can you name an instance of a game company doing that?

I can’t believe I bought a windows license in July, back when I built my new PC - was planning to use Windows for games exclusively and Linux for everything else.

Haven’t booted into Windows since at least November, it’s a great feeling. Every game I play (including new releases) runs fine on Linux.

What a time to be alive!

(note: the only game I can’t play is Valorant, but that’s the same on Windows, too, as it requires secure boot)

I highly recommend trying to get the good/true ending: bring each boss to the point of being able to kill them, then spare them until their health regenerates (don’t use the finisher), then fight them again until they’re in the same position - the second time around you’ll get an additional button prompt, beyond just “finish them”, to “spare them”.

Do it for each boss and you’ll unlock the true ending. Probably one of the best moments I’ve ever had in a video game.

If you’ve finished the game with age 20 it shouldn’t be much harder!

Sifu is Absolver if all the disparate combat trees and styles were boiled down into one.

It’s a simplification and optimization of Absolver’s formula, and (in my opinion) it’s perfect.

Where Absolver was too open and didn’t have a direction for most players, Sifu does.

Where Absolver required you to grind for hours to unlock new abilities, Sifu grants them from a tree using points gained from playing the game (no need to block specific abilities, which prevents the fake fights with you just blocking and dodging, hoping to gain the right type of xp from the right mob spawn).

Absolver also has a great story (even though its telling is very subtle), and reaching that final hidden ending feels incredible.

Absolver walked so Sifu can run, and it’s so wonderful to see the fruits of Sloclap refining their already amazing formula.

Probably one of the best games I’ve ever played, absolutely worth $0.

Basically the only title I’ve replayed over and over again to get the special “good” ending.

A good bonus is that if you play, and get good at, this game - you can then move on to other, parry-based titles (like Sekiro) and they’ll feel like a walk in the park.

The game is easy to start, but besting it at all will require you to replay some levels.

It’s not an official client, and non-official clients are against the ToS.

Discord’s been nice about them so far, but at some point someone in or above that company is going to demand they start making a profit, and when that happens the amnesty custom clients are currently unofficially receiving will disappear.

Hopefully I can convince people to use Mumble with me 😂

Yay I can finally uninstall Vesktop

Aah, okay.

I don’t mind the chroot too much, especially as you can just use Termux’s termux-setup-storage script for accessing files.

But, yeah, I can see how one would want to use su for that!

You’re totally right, but I wasn’t assuming they had a rooted phone.

Is there any difference between the native shell and Termux’s? I just installed fish and chsh’ed it to default: after syncing over all my dotfiles it looks and acts as expected.

Try Termux, it’s great.

While it doesn’t get you sudo, it does get you a package manager and a decent amount of programs.

I use it and rclone to sync my cell phone’s photos to a S3 bucket.

I’ve been trying OnlyOffice recently - seems pretty nice so far.

Aah, now I understand.

There is no such setting that I’m immediately aware of - but I am automatically getting messages for my folders. So I’m assuming it’s doing something in the background: most likely a periodic sync for the entire account.

Definitely doesn’t sound like the behavior you wanted, my bad. But, at least there are notifications on the folders once mail is received. 😅

Edit: In the repo for their sync engine it explains:

Mailspring uses a fairly basic syncing algorithm, which runs on two threads with two open connections to the mail server. Within each thread, work is performed synchronously.

Background Worker: Periodically iterates over folders and (depending on the supported IMAP features) uses CONDSTORE / XYZRESYNC to check for mail or performs either a “local” or “deep” sync of part of the folder’s UID space.

Foreground Worker: Idles on the primary folder and wakes to syncs changes. Also wakes to perform other tasks, like fetching message bodies the user clicks.

So the foreground worker only idles on the primary folder, but it does slowly iterate over all folders in the background.

No settings have been added for this functionality (that I’m aware of).

Edit 2: Went back and read your original comment; hadn’t noticed the PR was yours. If that’s the case then you’re probably aware of how the sync works anyway. My bad if I’ve posted stuff you’re already aware of.

Fastmail.

Can you choose which folders use real-time push vs which folders use polling?

I’m afraid not. I’m pretty sure the entire account uses polling. I’ll usually open the app and hit F5 to quickly poll for results, otherwise I’m waiting for the next sync.

Having said that, the unread counter works fine for sub-folders:

Edit: I was wrong, Mailspring uses the IMAP IDLE extension to wait for new mail delivery. Still doesn’t stop me from spamming F5 when I’m waiting for new mail to arrive.

Notifications on folders a have been added (I sort all my mail into a plethora of folders, keeping my inbox empty, so for me this is non-negotiable), and they all sync with a single f5 now.

Might be worth checking out again?

Mailspring, best client I’ve used in a while.
