I bought Tales of Maj’Eyal from GOG and have been playing the Linux port. Yeah, I’d say it’s my favorite. Even if I hate it sometimes.

I’m on Tumbleweed and there are issues. As I understand, Slowroll is unaffected, though I can’t guarantee that.

I was hit by (what I assume is) a recent catastrophic Mesa update on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I’m mostly fine, experiencing some issues with cursors and the Yast window is all black. It’s also affecting Wine and some installers are broken. Now I’m just waiting for Mesa to update since I’m mostly fine and nothing critical is broken for me. I think this is the first actually major issue I’ve had on openSUSE.

I’m on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I’m not quite satisfied, but I think it’s a “me” problem. The distro is fine. It’s great! It has practically all the things I was looking for in a distro when I came back to Linux. I have had no major issues that I can recall and updates have never broken anything. The only small nag I have is that Zypper sometimes wants to install patterns that I never installed to begin with when updating, but there are ways around that. I’m just annoyed that that’s the default behavior.

But I’m not happy. I’m constantly weighing my options and thinking of different distros/DEs and I don’t know why. The current setup serves me wonderfully but it’s not perfect, what ever that means. I think I’m looking for a combination of attributes that doesn’t exist, possibly can’t exist. TW and maybe Debian sid get the closest and I try to tell myself that’s good enough, but there’s always this feeling of dissatisfaction I can’t quite shake and it’s annoying.

On my phone I run postmarketOS and on my Raspberry Pi I have Raspbian and those are great.

They were, but as I understand they are once again independent. I’d still rather stick with Librewolf, but I’m glad there are options.

Seriously.

The last time I remember Firefox having serious memory leaks they called it Firebird. Guess I’ve been lucky. Or in a comfortable ignorant haze.

UK is still a member of the Council of Europe and ECHR. It’s confusing, but those are distinct from EU, which the UK is not a member of anymore.

Well thanks a lot, now I’m sad.

Check out Posteo. It’s affordable and focuses on privacy.

I see where this is going…

Okey, it’s like this: You and youtube both generate two keys, public and private. Public keys are public, anyone can see them. Doesn’t matter. When you send a message to youtube, you encrypt it with their public key. Now, the trick is, the encryption is asymmetric, which means that the message can only be decoded if you also know the private key, which you never send anyone but keep hidden. Right? This way, as long as your private key is secure, you can not realistically decode the encryption from outside just knowing the public key. Thus setting up a secure connection is just an exchange of public keys.

This is more or less how I understand it.

I lost my dear friend over 20 years ago and it still hurts. Sorry for your loss.

As I understand it, the account is on your machine only. If you delete your profile, it’s gone, unless you made backups. But I may be mistaken.

Have you looked in to Jami?

Public forums aren’t private, no.

My pp is plenty small. Thank you for your concern!

Not sure what is going on there. With me, scrolling jumps around but it’s usually related to opening and closing the virtual keyboard. For some reason opening the keyboard messes with the screen position. Annoying, but not unusable. A reinstall may be in order, but pmOS recently had broken installer images, so try to make sure that’s fixed before doing that.

I’m following the stable branch and upgrading when a new version drops. pmOS has been pretty good, but every now and then a full reinstall has been necessary. I’ve been using PP since the Mobian community edition.

Yeah, PinePhone is currently one of the few acceptable options available. Affordable, fixable, private. Even with it’s flaws, it’s pretty good. Unfortunately mobile linux needs to mature a lot before other companies will jump in, but lack of hardware and attention seems to be still hampering the development. A conundrum. Still, all’s not lost yet.

Broken how? It’s buggy but usable for me.
