In my first month with the Deck, I have mostly played:

  • Death Stranding
  • Red Faction: Guerrilla
  • GRID (2008)

And the hilarious tech demo of course!

I'm really happy with how well Death Stranding works and really see myself finishing it now that I can play it on commute. Love that game but it never fit my schedule (at the desk, I always played flight sims in VR or just a very quick shooter session).

Red Faction and GRID are easy enough on the battery, especially at 40 fps, and not too fussy about controls so they feel good with a controller (I felt a bit handicapped in Dirt Rally 2 and Project Cars 2).

In terms of emulation, I installed RetroDeck and tried Gran Turismo PSP but found that hard with the large stick and no analog controls for accelerate/brake Just putting some PS1 and PS2 games on it now, let's see if those will be able to bump GRID and Red Faction from my frequented list:

  • Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3
  • Gran Turismo 4

People, don't downvote! Look at the instance David's on. nl is Netherlands. That's us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.

@[email protected] I second Bitflip's comment.

F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.

You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.

PPSSPP: I initially installed it because my PSP Go was failing and corrupting my save files.

Dumping all the PSP files onto a pc and loading one save with PPSSPP, fixed all the saves. Then I put them back on the PSP to continue my Gran Turismo career while commuting on the train.

It was mind-boggling to me that the emulator could fix the original console. Of course, it also does all kinds of upscaling, double framerate, etc.

After this happened twice though, I replaced the PSP with a Steam Deck. Sadly, the large stick on the Deck has caused me some trouble with controlling the higher end cars. PSP has no analog triggers, so all the finesse is in the flick of the ministick. I should load up GT4 (PS2) on the Deck soon. And MGS 1 through 3. Am very happy playing GRID (2008) and Death Stranding for now though.

Yes, you are right.

The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:

  • .NET Framework up to and incl version 4.8
  • Runtimes distributed as part of Windows
  • Mono is a Linux Runtime used for compatibility

The new stuff:

  • .NET Core, up to and incl 3, more recent versions are named .NET from version 5 onwards (to prevent mixing it up with the old Framework)
  • Is completely cross-platform, natively
  • I don't know about desktop specific graphical stuff but that probably depends on the specific library

Les cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n'ont pas besoin d'infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.

Mais parce qu'ils n'ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler "pas dignés".

Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche". Il y a pas l'espace dans les trains, c'est la realite economique.

Thank you for answering.

I am not sure where to start, but let's take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page "Persecution of Uyghurs in China" has 585 references.

They're probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they'd risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China's moral standing?

Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.

But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That's pretty extreme.

I understand your desire to defend communism.

But really, how far does an authoritarian regime have to go, while calling itself communist, before you judge them?

What evidence would change your mind about the CCP?

Check CompassRed's comment above.

The definition part of the wikipedia article has a table with these "nice relationships for addition and scaling". You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both.

Context: in the UK, climate activists got 4-5 years in jail for planning a non-violent protest. The law that made this possible was literally written by the oil lobby: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/rishi-sunak-right-wing-think-tank-anti-protest-laws-policy-exchange/?ref=publicsquare.uk
